If you were in New York or another big city in the US thirty-five years ago, 25 June 1982, four films opened:

• Blade Runner (Ridley Scott)
  
• MegaForce (Hal Needham)
  
• Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (Terry Hughes/Ian MacNaughton)
  
• The Thing (John Carpenter)

It would be pleasing to note that MegaForce was the only hit — it’s got Barry Bostwick in it, guys — but it tanked, too.

I suspect the others made their money back on the video/DVD long tail — but where’s MegaForce 2049?
