Goofs
The overturned car lurches and flips over farther on its own after Steve lets go of it, and is suspended in midair during the operation; obviously the car is on a rotating hydraulic ram that's attached to its front end and is turning the car.

I can't do that either. You didn't kill him, did you?

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.
