Jaime Sommers allows herself to be captured rather than use her Bionics and risk the lives of children. What she and her kidnappers don't know, is that Steve Austin is in hot pursuit! It's the first major action sequence from the first Bionic Reunion movie "The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman." (1987)

Legendary award-winning (Oscar, Grammy, Tony, Emmy, Pulitzer) composer Marvin Hamlisch (The Sting, The Way We Were, A Chorus Line, The Spy Who Loved Me) provides a quintessentially 80s action score as it pops, rocks, and saxiphones its way through Jaime's rescue. Yes, we all would have preferred the classic themes of Oliver Nelson and Joe Harnell. But in their absence, Hamlisch acquits himself well.

In the USA all reunion movies are currently available on DVD:

• THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN COMPLETE COLLECTION (2010) through Time-Life. (includes bonus features not found in the retail boxed set below)

• THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN - THE COMPLETE SERIES (2015) available in retail stores and online.

In the UK all reunion movies are currently available only on Fabulous Films SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN COMPLETE DVD SERIES and BIONIC WOMAN COMPLETE DVD COLLECTION.

  • 1980: The future will be awesome! 2020: I want to go back to the 80's.,,,,,,
  • I loved this as a kid. I used to play bionic so much that now, at 58, whenever I'm lifting something heavy, my mind still makes the bionic sound effect

    What's bionic here is the strength of the hair spray holding those sweet 80s hairstyles in place. 😁
  • I had a hip replacement a couple of years ago. While awaiting my turn to go into the operating room, one of the nurses and I were talking about this show because I was telling her that I was gonna be bionic with my new hip. We laughed and joked about me becoming the new bionic woman. After I got into the operating room, the nurse was getting ready to put the mask over my face to make me go to sleep. Just before she did that, she looked serious and solemn and announced, "We can rebuild"..... those were the last words I heard before it went dark.... ❤

    It’s amazing how Steve Austin can run so fast, that if you didn’t know any better, you’d think he was moving in slow motion.

    Those Ford wagons of the 70's were tough as heck. Overturned twice and still drivable. 😂
  • @slamboy66
    Miss my Steve Austin action figure lifting engines, removing bionics and looking thru the back of his head. 👍👍👍
  • @ohroonoko
    2:00 in case you doubted how dangerous these bad guys are, being that they drive a wood-paneled family station wagon, they totally ran this stop sign.
  • As a kid I once missed most of an episode because we were late getting home from a 'stupid' family visit. Cried like a baby and iced my parent for days 🤣
  • The sound of the bionics acting is perfect! I've always loved this series. Today I am 52 years old and I always thought the bionic woman was fantastic. I didn't miss an episode.

    Pinnacle of 80s villainy…threatening to shoot at blind children. Not just school children…blind school children. Cartoonishly over the top! Loved this TV movie back in the day. :)
  • @con_doorman
    I like the way he said: "or my friend will start firing at those blind children" like it wouldn't be tragic if they weren't blind.

    I'm 50, I remember the six million dollar man intro, it fascinated me as a kid. They are all still great shows even today.
  • @josue111
    there is no atmosphere of the series without the brilliant soundtrack
  • Loved this feat of strength showing his true power.. He doesn't just flip the car.. he literally launches and spins it.. Just think about the amount of force it would take to do that!
  • @BPIII71
    Still hilarious that they use slow-mo to indicate super-speed. This is The Matrix before The Matrix.
  • @amytrumbull156
    I frickin worshipped her! I watched The Bionic Woman like a fiend and I actually met Lyndsay Wagner decades later when I worked at a restaurant/ market in Woodland Hills. She was absolutely gracious and just as beautiful as ever…what a classy lady! I’m usually not starstruck as my dad is in the industry and I met a lot of actors over the years through him and going with him to the studios and a couple movie premieres and also working in Beverly Hills for several years but she was an absolute joy to meet!

    As a kid I was very impressed by this series. Looking at it now as a man I had to ask myself....why didn't Steve just follow the kidnappers in his own car?😅
