Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Some changes to the show's premise were made between the first ‘Six Million Dollar Man’ TV movie and the sequel. In the first film, Austin is described in dialogue as being a civilian, but in this film this is changed to him being an Air Force colonel (and dialogue confirms this version of the character was a colonel at the time he walked on the moon). As noted above, Oliver Spencer is replaced by Oscar Goldman (a character from the original Cyborg novels) and a new actor plays Rudy Wells. In addition, the organization Austin works for is now the OSI, not the OSO. more
Goofs:
Continuity: During Austin's escape from the exploding boat at the start of the film, footage of the pursuing boats changes from day to night in-between shots several times. more
Quotes:
Col. Steve Austin: [on phone with Oscar] Listen, pal, the next time you want me on a mission, you lay it all out on front, or I'll kick your department so high you'll need Sky-Lab to get it down. more

Serious cool, 3 November 2001
Author: greatwar

I saw this first run on tv in 1973 and I believe it was the second 90 min "pilot" episode to the six million dollar man series. I was a 1st grader at the time but I remember the action well. It was pretty James Bondish( even has bond girl Britt Eklund in it) It is the first time I remember seeing ole Six mil in action. Points that impressed me at age 7: there is the scene where Steve Austin breaks through stone wall. Very cool. Also there are some sinister looking black and white painted rockets/nuke weapons that moved around on wheels. Oh then there is Steve's super swim from the submarine. After seeing this I was hooked on the Six million dollar man show that followed. I would love to see this film again and if I ever do, hopefully I'll find it as much fun now as then.
