The timing was great. Just when I thought it wasn't going to happen.

I'm going off of my memory here, but I recall Dave Mustaine said once in an interview back in the 90s that Nick Menza was the lyrical source of inspiration for the song Hanger 18. Menza was the guy that was really into the Hanger 18 story and basically believed most of the conspiracy theory stuff surrounding it. Some sources credit Menza for the lyrics, others say that Dave wrote the music and lyrics. I don't have an original copy of the CD any longer to reference. Dave joked about Nick's UFO obsession a bit in the early days, but he became less respectful of Menza later on. After Nick was out of the band, Dave did an interview on a radio show describing how Nick claimed Jesus was an alien that could levitate or something to that effect. It pissed Dave off, and Mustaine said he knew it was the beginning of the end for Nick Menza in Megadeth. Of course, Dave is a volatile guy that's been known to bend his version of the truth into something he finds palatable. I respect both of these guys as musicians, and I don't trust Dave's drug fogged memory to be accurate or charitable. Peace.

The Megadeth references were ace, but I was expecting the line "Computers crash and they all fall down". I know it's from the sequel song but it seems to fit this movie.

You know you have to do 'Capricorn 1' next, if you haven't already done it.

Great video! Glad you brought up the connection to Megadeth. I’m actually seeing them in Chicago in about 2 weeks and so far (coincidentally), they’ve been opening this tour with Hangar 18!

I think I was around 11 or 12 when I rented it under "Hanger 18" at the local mom and pop shop "Video Wizard" (this was B.B. or "Before Blockbuster") bought it home, watched it with my dad and was BORED TO TEARS. After bringing it back to the video store, maybe about a month later, I stumbled across the box for "Invasion Force" and thought it sounded cool so I sat down with my dad to watch it and low and behold it was (as you mentioned) "Hanger 18".. For some reason my dad insisted we watch the damn thing ALL OVER AGAIN! Man, it was such an insufferable bore! Thank God for MSTK3000! Another great vid my friend and WELCOME BACK!

LOL - like 90% of these movies, I remember seeing as a kid: commercials for them, or rented from the video store (with their insanely cool but often misleading video tape cover art) or shit, watched on HBO when it first came out. I remember the HBO guides (like tv guide obviously but for HBO even more obviously) that came out monthly, and would come in the mail a few a week or so before the end of the month featuring the next month's movies. This one I remember like Wavelength, Invaders from Mars, and Strange Invaders. I remember vaguely enjoying it, but in terms of nostalgia...hits the mark. As these movies looked a lot less cheesy at the time, especially to a middle schooler. Fucking V and V the final battle man.
