Lee Majors as Colonel Austin has always been one of my favorite actors / characters!!! If you're a big fan like me, you'll be sure to enjoy this special. Ever since the Original Series went off the air, The three TV specials that aired, this being one of the three, really don't sum up the awe and power that the character of Steve Austin has. However, it was good to see Colonel Austin and his team back in Action, great action sequences and a captivating story-line, reminded me of the great 80s shows like Knight Rider, The A-Team, and countless others.

ALWAYS BEEN A BIG FAN!!!
I enjoyed this reunion movie!
Fans of both "The Six Million Dollar Man" and "The Bionic Woman", can rest assure this dream has come true. I've enjoyed both series, and having them back together would be a dream come true. I first heard about on "Entertainment Tonight" ahead of times. I was really jacked up to wait. When I saw the preview, I was ecstatic! With the updated scenes for the movie was fascinating and just watching it made it more fun. It was funny when Jamie(Lindsay Wagner) threw Steve(Lee Majors) out the window. But the excitement factor was better when Steve landed on the car giving Jamie a chance to escape, while Steve flipped the car, and the car took off after being flipped. Really peculiar! Now his son is a bionic, only he has a lethal laser in his right eye! Talk about out of sight. This reunion movie is out of sight, reliving the old show is great. Action, scifi shows do indeed make better reunion progresses than sitcoms ever will. Maybe... Now I'm going to get some metal pipes and NANANANANANANANANA!!!!!!!!!!!! BIONIC-SIZE THEM! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating 5 stars!
Poor writing, lame plot lines, and lackluster acting
I was a big fan as a kid growing up the 70s so I know I would have watched this when it aired on TV. But I missed out on this... very bad production... I was living overseas in the Navy watching old episodes of Air Wolf and Knight Rider, I suppose. I'm kinda glad I missed out on this.
Something silly I picked up on... the villains drive one of those monstrous station wagons (that were finally fading in popularity not long after 1987) and after Steve Austin rolls the first one (and Jamie kicked out the passenger door) the bad guys go out and get the exact model/color car as a replacement. Either that or they had it repaired mighty fast.
Sometimes it's best to put a show to bed and leave it alone. This was one of those times.
I do agree with the person who wrote about the music. What were they thinking?
Oh, and, Brian Cranston was in this show. I didn't even recognize him.
