There has never been a superhero like ACE HUNTER! Deeds Not Words Movie Quote(s): [As Eggstrum approaches.] Ace Hunter: Here comes The Egg... Dallas: And that's no "yolk." Eggstrum: Dallas, when a person doesn't have less on, they have...? Dallas: "More on"? Eggstrum: Exactly. Ace Hunter: Well, there are reasons for everything we do, Major. Major Zara: And do they include leaving your guests to bake in the middle of the desert, greeted by a cowboy, and be attacked by wild creatures? Ace Hunter: Well, if it's a comfortable tour you're looking for, I have connections... at DisneyLand! Byrne-White: What's your rank? Dallas: Rank? Why ain't nobody got a rank in Megaforce. 'Cept the Commander, but we all call him Hunter. Dallas: Well, I know how you feel, and I've been there myself. Let me see. One time before I made a jump into the night, an old buddy of mine told me something that made me feel a whole lot better. Ace Hunter: What, what did he tell you to do? Dallas: Well, he said, "You love 'em in blue and you love them in red. But most of all you love them in blue." Ace Hunter: That's totally inapplicable to anything that's going on here. And it's _dumb_. Who told you that? Dallas: You did! Ace Hunter: But it's very wise. Very wise. Ace Hunter: It's all on the wheel, it all comes around. Movie Trivia: Actually filmed in Southern Nevada using M48A5 tanks of 1/221 Armor Battalion of the Nevada National Guard Producers approached military officials for cooperation in the design of the vehicles used in the battle scenes; the officials refused. When the film was released, those same officials were so impressed with the vehicles, they asked the producers for the plans. The producers cooperated. The "missiles" were actually model rockets manufactured by a company in Raytown, Missouri. The filmmakers were so impressed with their accuracy over distance that they restaged some of the battle scenes to take advantage of this.
