Bionic throw not strong enough, needs Sasquatch toss.

This gets the biggest WTF / LOL of 2019 yet.
When the Sci-Fi channel first came out, my roommates and I immediately decided it was time to spring for cable TV, just so we could watch Bionic Man and the upcoming Godzilla marathon. This clip perfectly illustrates why we were disappointed-- five minutes of slow motion running and beating-a-dead-horse melodrama.
So much for nostalgia, you really can’t go home again.

You have to turn up the volume to hear the sound effect. Although I don’t remember Sasquatch being bionic, too.
Also, I’m sorry to say that Steve Austin is not pulling off that 'stache.

Kind of looks like Sasquatch is dying as Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers are smiling to each other. :-/
Back when this aired, I had no idea who Andre the Giant was. I was surprised to find out later that this was one of his first roles.

Better… you forgot better.
If they weren’t Bionic I’m guessing this clip would have been about 30 seconds long.

Whats not to love?
The stock footage, the costumes (dear god, the costumes!), the surplus death star viewscreen that is connected to a camera that mysteriously follows our heroes, the hammy acting, the porntacular music.
This is a piece of art!

Was gonna say that 'stache is definitely not bionically enhanced beyond a normal Boston-Blackie level.
