I was a big fan of The Six Million Dollar Man when I was a kid.
By 1989, any attempts to reboot it was lost on an audience who found it all too cheesy. Even nostalgia was not enough of a hook.
The only notable thing about Bionic Showdown was the casting of future big screen star and Oscar winner Sandra Bullock.
She is appealing and likeable as Kate Mason. Augmented by bionics as she had a congenital muscle deterioration since childhood.
Kate is the fourth bionic person however it seems the technology has been stolen. There is another bionic assailant.
Washington thinks that someone in the OSI is dirty and later Oscar Goldman resigns when his nephew is injured.
Kate goes undercover in the World Unity Games. There is a conspiracy between rogue American and Russian agents.
Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers are in effect relegated to cameos. There is a so called humorous story as Steve constantly attempts to propose to Jaime.
Bionic Showdown has better effects for the bionic action but even for 1989, this is not that great. The stunt doubles were poor.
The music consisted of irritating soft rock. The story was not not even average, the baddies were easy to guess.
It all looked cheap, shot in Canada and an indoor arena was the venue for the Unity Games.
