I grew up watching The Six Million Dollar Man & thoroughly enjoyed every episode of the series, including special appearances Lee Majors made on other shows. Like many youngsters of the era, I spent much of my time in front of the magic box, watching and "re-watching" my favorite shows; But always, SMDM was by far my favorite of them all! For me as a kid, it was more than simply watching a guy (& later a girl) perform superhuman feats of speed and strength. Here were folks who, with all their incredible powers, still remained human, being careful to use them only when totally necessary. To me at the time, that was nearly to the point of being a 'mentor' in a sense, being responsible in using such power. (I even remember joining the SMDM fan club!! LOL!!) In the "return" film, it was great to see Steve again, running in slow motion, leaping, lifting heavy things, etc. (In fact, in one of the scenes, it seems to me that he just may have increased in strength a bit, flipping a car over...with it rolling over at least several times!!.) In any case, it was fantastic to see Lee Majors & Lindsey Wagner back at it again, doing all the bionic stuff. The film was cool. Great nostalgiac stuff here to watch. Funny thing is, to me, it would have made more sense to have Lee Majors,Jr. to portray Steve Austin's son! Now that would'a been great! All in all, a very entertaining film to watch; Particularly to a 'forever' SMDM fan! Long live the Six Million Dollar Man & the Bionic woman!
