Use a managed mount or "--transform s,:,_,g". I'm not sure what this --force-file you mention is but it's not a valid tar option. --force-local might have been what you were looking for, however the purpose of that is for overriding the meaning of colon when specifying the name of the input file to read, not for dealing with filenames inside a tarball that contain a colon, so it's irrelevant to this case.
