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.

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.

Overall Rating: 3.5 out of 5

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.

First thing I noticed from this is that the eighties really haven't aged any better than the seventies did really. Some of the music and the fashions and the hairstyles now look hideously dated- but somehow oddly nostalgic as well if you are someone who lived through those times. Did we really wear that? Did we really talk like that ? Yes. Yes we did. The film itself is solid enough and does a very good job of picking up where the TV shows ended. This is exactly where you imagined the two main characters would be ten years later. Jaime in particular is doing exactly the sort of work that you thought she would now be doing. It's not the most in-depth of plots and the main focus of the film is catching up with two of our most loved TV characters from our childhoods. Not a classic but if you are part of the generation that grew up with Steve and Jaime you'll probably like this.

Possibly the worst scored of all the Bionic Woman and Six Million Dollar Man shows and movies. The music is distracting, inappropriately timed, and bad.
