Writings about films, filmmaking and other obsessions by Mark Achtenberg

Six Million Dollar Man
I can't help but giggle at the memory of watching this as a kid. Still, it's a great idea for a feature film - a bionic man that is (sans Sasquatch).
As a note, slow motion and a fast soundtrack sell the sense of speed and power. Note the bizarre passage of time in this sequence - they meet during the day and finish fighting at night and then run back into the daylight. It's as if Ed Wood had directed it!
There was a time when a hairy chest was cool.
I wouldn't want to get hit with a tree...

Boy, that stuff is terrible. Makes me laugh to think we used to watch that stuff.

Good find Mark.
I remember that Sasquatch episode!
Iguess they couldn't find a shark to jump.
You are not alone.
