A Volta do Homem de Seis Milhões de Dólares e da Mulher Biônica

Was I glad to see some more of Steve and Jaime. I just loved the 1970's series. However I missed two things in all three reunion movies. First of all, I missed the 1970's look (furniture, clothes, cars, etc.) since I believe the 1970's was the ONLY decade that had style and taste (I hated the 1980's). But most importantly, where were the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman theme music? It was a mistake not to include the themes. In fact, almost all remakes/reunion movies used the theme of the original shows. Just look at Mission Impossible, The Saint, The Wild Wild West, The Avengers, SWAT, etc. They all used the themes of the shows those movies were based upon. It wouldn't be James Bond without the James Bond theme. Yet sadly in none of the SMDM-BW reunion movies the theme from either show was present.

My friends and I were on the hunt for a bad action B-movie for some popcorn fun, and Laser Force (that's the title in Sweden... yeah, those are English words. Your point?) seemed to fit the bill. Boy, were we wrong. The plot moves at the pace of frozen molasses, so do the action sequences, and the acting is consistently wooden. I never saw any lasers, nor any kind of force, and certainly no laser force... then again, the Six-Million-Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman appeared often enough. I wish they hadn't. Unless you're into soft, slow-motion shots of people running across summer meadows (fully clothed, sorry!), skip this one.

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!

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.

If you can get your head into '80s mode' and accept the effects aren't going to be good this movie holds up surprisingly well.

The original cast as always work well, Martin Landau chews the scenery better than anybody ever has, and Tom Schanley fits the bill for a new Six Million Dollar Man. It's a pity that this attempted pilot never got the green light, a series based around Michael could have been a lot of fun and also given Schanley the limelight he has deserved throughout his career.

The mention in another review of the plot moving slowly is true but again it's a case of getting your head into '80s mode' (or before) and enjoying the journey through the set up, character creation, etc.

It won't be for everybody, but if 70s and 80s shows are your thing then I think you'll enjoy it. It is still a lot of fun.
