Come on. MacGyver + Brian B. What a hoot.

While this is not the best in class, it is a bit of a hoot when you get Brian Blessed and Richard Dean Anderson playing off each other. How could it be any otherwise? The premise is wonderfully silly and the walk through war torn Europe pointless, but over all the characters are clear and well-defined. The aristocratic baddie, the amoral professor, the smart heroine who needs rescuing, and of course MacGyver who out parodies himself with some wonderful made up solutions, it is hard to predict any of them.

Was it great? Well, it was great fun and still worth watching just to see Brian Blessed's larger than life acting. I am a huge fan of MacGyver, but those purest who whine about this being awful, really are missing the point. From the mullet hair cut to the overzealous Professor to the idea that together they are 'historians' is a bloody hoot! Great escapism that only the 90's could bring us. See it and enjoy it.

Trivia
The establishing shot of the "Balkan Peninsula" is actually the inside of the then derelict Battersea Power station, a very well known iconic landmark in London, England. It has since been extensively renovated.

Goofs
Professor Atticus says that the treasure is hidden in the ''tower of fear,'' and the Greek word for fear is Thera. It's actually Phobos. Thera means "hunting," and is the second name for the island of Santorini.
