Steve Austin Rescues Jaime Sommers (1987)

[@michaelolivero1626]

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

[@ditzygypsy]

😂I was pretending I was bionic when I was 10, and trying to open our large, brand new deep freezer. It was very stubborn all of a sudden and stuck. So I reefed on it, and I opened it with a heave (yes, and sound effects in my head), and discovered it had been locked and I’d ripped the lock off. 😂😂. We had to get a new freezer. My parents were confounded and so was the store. I am not a big person and even a jug of milk is heavy to me so I have no idea how it even happened.

[@davy1972]

Same here. My bionic eye still works well.

[@jeandemoura1566]

Je voudrais un jour qu'on m'explique comment l'effet sonore a été créé. I wish someone explain me how the sound effect is making!

[@SecuritySpecial]

​@@jeandemoura1566 Allo Jean. Ils disent que c'était une règle en métal tenue en partie sur une table. L'extrémité libre a été tirée vers le bas et relâchée. Le son de la règle vibrante a été enregistré et ralenti pour produire l'effet sonore du bras bionique. Mais c'était peut-être un vrai bras bionique - bruyant mais efficace !

[@SecuritySpecial]

​@@davy1972 After a few beers I came home late, switched my bionic eye to infra-red, tripped over the cat, fell asleep on the stairs and must have damaged the hydraulics on my bionic leg as I woke up in a puddle of watery hydraulic fluid! Steve Austin was such a formative influence but I must have missed that episode of the SMDM!

[@shervellebergholz]

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.... ❤

I can't get over how different the 80s looked and felt compared to the 70s.

[@TraceurDoc1]

I grew up in the 80s and I can confirm...wicked saxophone riffs would often occur out of nowhere! The saxophone god tragically disappeared around 1995-1996. I still have faith of her return!

[@MrFister84]

There was some overlap between 79-81 but yes very different.

[@STARDRIVE]

The 80's are the most futuristic era ever. We were introduced to computers, electronic music, CD's, extravagant fashion... We had free speech, and old muscle cars were dirt cheap. In the 90's that utopian outlook made way for a slow and steady decline. The 70's felt like flower power mixed with the dark ages. Pretty messy in the end, and nowhere to go. Thus around 1980 everything went overboard, and we started with a clean slate. Indeed, day & night.

[@DM-xt3rl]

@@STARDRIVE Yeah the 80’s was really the start of high tech.........Most of the innovation now was around in the 80’s just not as refined and mass marketed.

😂😂😂 Thanks for ruining the magic. J/K, that was pretty bad. Special FX crew: Are you sure we shouldn't do more to cover up the cable? Director: Nah, the audience will be too focused on a guy flipping a car with his bare hands.

[@MNskins11]

It was well known in the 80’s bad guys used station wagons.

[@brianwest2775]

The car stops its roll at 2:31 and then they need to pull again to keep it rolling. It's also cool to see the added steel beams in place of bumpers that they attach the wires to. The chrome bumper is later tacked on before the drive away but appears to be the same car.

[@pixsilvb9638]

They were both supposedly school sweethearts from Ojai, CA where they grew up. Steve became an astronaut and later a test pilot (got seriously injured testing a lifting body, some of his parts replaced by bionic members and thats how he became the 'six million dollar man' the total cost of the surgical operation to save his life); Jaimie was a proffesional tennis player and when she too suffered a terrible accident some of her members were also replaced with bionic parts. Both became agents of OSI and their boss was a cool guy named Oscar Goldman, the person who facilitated the advanced bionic prosthetics technology that saved their lifes. Because now they were important and valuable assets, their lives changed and with their augmented powers they became useful agents for OSI.

[@darthaegis1215]

Jaime's body started to reject the bionics, originally she died. (Fun Fact Lindsay Wagner wrote out "Jaime" on the set, mis-spelling Jamie, and they kept her spelling of the name. Cheaper than reshooting the scene :) ) Michael used an untested procedure to bring her back but it left her with no memory of Steve beyond him being her friend. She wouldn't get that memory back until this movie.

Wonder if OSI would have set them on an assignment into mardelago.

Yes, chase scenes in 70's and 80's always involved music with saxophone 🎷.

[@wecanrebuildhim]

The greatest secret and mystery of the original series was how they created the bionic sound. It's literally bugged me since I was a little kid. No one who was associated with the show has ever said on record how they achieved it. Rumor has it that, Charles King, the Sound Designer for the shows, is reported to have braced a metal ruler or yardstick on the edge of a table, pulling and releasing the extended end, then slowing the resultant sound to 25%.

[@Rich-yj4ub]

I Loved the doll.. you could roll the rubber up on his arm exposing the Bionic chip & could take it out. Then look through the bionic eye through the back of his head. Bwahaha 😂

I would have to reread Martin Caiden's novel, "Cyborg" , but probably the bionic surgerical team reinforced Austin's injured spine after his plane crash in the M3F5/HL-10 with ceramic or other advanced material which would support his spine to lift objects that too heavy for normal human beings to lift
