Trivia:

The rotating ice tunnel featured here was at the time a brand new addition to the Universal Studios Tour called 'The Glacier Avalanche'. It was inspired by The Eiger Sanction (1975), but soon became linked with The Six Million Dollar Man. In 1997 it was redesigned to resemble the dormant volcano from Dante's Peak (1997) and again in 2001 as the entrance to The Mummy's Tomb.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the ice tunnel The tram-rails used on the Universal Tour are covered with cloth and a forced-perspective miniature has been placed at the far end of the tunnel, which is especially visible as Bigfoot stands before it.

Quotes:

Apploy: [looking down at Steve Austin] He's by far the most interesting man we've seen.

I'm a big fan of the complete series of six million dollar man; and this episode is the best of all I've seen. I hope If they gone a make a movie of the six million dollar man, they respect the story and the tradition of this character. I'm only have 3 years old when I see for first time this episode and let me tell you that this experience is still in my memory. the character of big foot it was so real, Andre was the perfect actor to be this character. I'm only can say that at the present days, I can not find another character as Steve Austin (Lee Majors)in all TV's series, and I think that in many years we can see another one like the big one SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.
