Storyline

After Col. Steve Austin fails to retrieve the contents of a safe owned by arms dealer Arlen Findletter, he takes up an friendly offer of a holiday in the Bahamas. There he runs into Soviet Agent Alexi Kaslov and his lovely assistant Katrina Volana, who also happen to be out to find Findletter. Is it a coincidence, or was Steve's trip all part of one of Oscar Goldman's missions? Written by Il Tesoro

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. See more »

Goofs

The scenes of Steve's examination and repairs are obviously just re-used footage of Steve's original bionic surgery; he didn't need his eye bandaged again or the tube in his nose because those parts weren't damaged during his escape from the villain's boat. See more »

Quotes

Cynthia Holland: Do you like girls?
Col. Steve Austin: [after cornering Cyn at the bar] Mm hm Yes Very much. I think they're great fun. In fact I wanted to take one to the moon with me. There were some experiments I wanted to attempt in a zero gravity situation. But they wouldn't let me. What you really want to know is why I hadn't made a pass at you.
Cynthia Holland: Well, a girl does like to think that she's attractive.

a lot of goofs but still worth watching
16 April 2012 | by (Midian) – See all my reviews

Having seen the flick based on the novel Cyborg which I loved a lot this flick here was the second flick about Steve Austin way before the series started and moved away from the Cyborg story. The typical bionic sound is used here but still no sign of his bionic eye.

Although it moved away from Cyborg it comes closer towards the series were our six million dollar man had to solve some world problems. It looked a bit sometimes like a James Bond with superpowers and that's because he also seduces beautiful ladies (Britt Ekland) among others.

But still it's not too bad because the sentences used by Steve are sometimes funny. But where as the original movie didn't had that many goofs this one does. There is use of footage from the original flick when Steve is thinking what happened to him, strange to see because non of the actors in that footage are in this flick. But as in the original flick they used stock footage and here are a few major mistakes. In the beginning we see a blue helicopter moving towards a submarine but when the submarine is shown suddenly we got a complete other helicopter and to make it worse it also had another color. And they even used that whole sequence twice! When Steve's making his escape in the beginning we do have day combined with stock footage night scene's although it has to be day or night. Still there are other goofs but not as clear to see as the latter ones. One involves a door when he escapes after releasing himself from chains. Just see what he is doing with the hinge pins and how the door is opened.

In comes Richard Anderson who also did a part in Bionic Woman. He is a regular later in the series as Oscar Goldman. Also a regular in the series is Alan Oppenheimer as Dr. Rudy Wells. And see David McCallum as Alexi Kaslov who becomes The Invisible Man (1975-1976) still unreleased on DVD.

It's much slower than the original flick but still worth watching where you can see how the character of Steve grown. It is sometimes a bit slow especially the scene with, again, stock footage of catching a sword fish. But it did survived the time and one to see if you are a sci-fi fan or even likes action flicks from the seventies.
