THE WORLDWIDE DEFINITIVE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN DVD COLLECTION.

VISIT THE OFFICIAL FANHUB NOW!

For anyone growing up in the 1970s there were several TV series that could be described as “essential viewing”, but none were more deserving of that accolade than The Six Million Dollar Man, the TV series that mixed Bond-ian espionage action with sci-fi adventure and, along the way, became a pop culture institution. Now, The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection is coming to DVD as a 40-disc set (five of which are dedicated to extras and bonus features), featuring every episode from each of the show’s five seasons, plus the three original TV movies that started it all, along with the three further TV movies that followed in the late 1980s and early 90s. Additionally, this edition includes extensive stills galleries and episode guide booklets exclusive to the UK release, making this the world’s most definitive Six Million Dollar Man DVD collection.

Based on the novel “Cyborg” by Martin Caidin, and pre-dating the similarly cyborg-themed “The Terminator” and “Robocop” franchises by over a decade, The Six Million Dollar Man was one of the most popular and successful TV series of its era, propelling Lee Majors (already relatively well-known as a series regular in the Western series “The Big Valley” and “The Virginian”) into the realms of superstardom, becoming a merchandisers' dream and spawning an equally successful spin-off series in “The Bionic Woman”.

Majors stars as Colonel Steve Austin, a former astronaut who is seriously injured when the jet he is flying crashes. A man barely alive, Austin is “rebuilt” with bionic parts replacing his right arm, both legs and his left eye, enhancing his strength, speed and vision far beyond normal human capabilities. Following his recovery, he goes to work for the covert Office of Scientific Intelligence as a secret agent, where his regular missions involve not only bringing international criminals to justice but also investigating downed UFOs and taking on killer female androids and even the mythical creature, Bigfoot!

Co-starring Richard Anderson (The Fugitive; Perry Mason) as Austin’s supervisor Oscar Goldman and Martin E. Brooks (Dallas; McMillan & Wife) as scientist Dr. Rudy Wells, the series also features a host of guest stars including Lindsay Wagner, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Kim Basinger, Martine Beswick, Sonny Bono, Louis Gossett, Jr., Erik Estrada, Stefanie Powers, John Saxon, William Shatner, George Takei, George Foreman, Donna Mills and Andre the Giant, amongst many others.







The 40-disc The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Collection (cert. PG) will be released on DVD (£199.99) by Fabulous Films on 26th March 2012.

Special Features include: exclusive new interviews with Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner; all three pilot movies of The Six Million Dollar Man; all three reunion movies of The Six Million Dollar Man; all crossover episodes of The Bionic Woman; 17 exclusive featurettes; audio commentaries; UK exclusive stills galleries; UK exclusive episode guide booklets.


We're giving away this box set to ONE very lucky person. All you have to do is...

So, the Six Million Dollar Man, for those not in the know, tells the tale of a guy who is given super human strength, speed etc after being 'built' with technology worth six million dollars. Now, what would happen if this was made today? What super human abilities would he have with the technology around now? OR on the other hand, what if we could only spend a couple of hundred on building him due to the economic recession? What would he be like then? Perhaps he'd run on Double A batteries or something sillier?

Share your thoughts, have some fun and the best entries will be picked next week (27th). I'll then put all those entries into a hat and will randomly select one winner.

Now the more entries you post (as long as they're really good!) the more chance you'll have of winning as all the best entries will be put into a hat, meaning your name could be in there several times.

Pictures get brownie points :p

GOOD LUCK!

Any questions, ask away!

Kyle :cool:

If the million dollar man was made today, with a budget of just one million, he'd be the chinese knock-off of the 3 billion dollar man

If made today, the series would have to be called THE SIX BILLION DOLLAR MAN as six million dollars would just about pay for petrol to keep him running for a week or two!

So Steve Austin, the first American astronaut to walk on the surface of the planet Mars, crashes in the desert whilst test piloting the Venutian module to be used in America's next planetary mission. His body is decimated, most of his bones broken, most of his body organs pulped, part of his brain left as so much grey goo. Yet somewhere within, scientists can still detect a tiny spark of life.

Enter Dr Rudy Wells and Project Cybertron, with Steve Austin the ideal test patient. Gentleman we can rebuild him, we can make the world's first cybertronic man. Better than he was before, better, stronger, faster...

By taking a tiny sample of DNA the Cybertron Project is able to perfectly clone Steve Austin, but combining a cybernetic interface with every single cell in his mind and body. Now Steve Austin can instantly communicate with any computer device in the entire world, can see through any single CCTV camera, satellite, television camera, anything at all connected to a computer.... he can listen to any surveillance device anywhere in the world, hack in to any mobile phone or landline conversation and any radio channel through his cybernetic hearing, fine tuning through a mass of complex circuitry performing the functions of a hundred million human brains in one...

Not only has the cybernetic interface given Steve Austin a mind beyond the most complex computer on the planet, its sophisticated metallic patterning has strengthened his body beyond that of any normal human. With legs able to run at speeds of 100 mph and jump 100 feet into the air, and arms able to punch through solid steel, Steve Austin truly has become a real life superhero, but still possessing human emotions and the character that made him the man he was before.

The great thing about Project Cybertron is that it does not affect the brain, does not drive the recipient insane, if that person is the correct choice, and Steve Austin is that man.

The Six Billion Dollar Man.

Invincible. Unstoppable.

Steve Austin, a man barely alive.... We can rebuild him. But, hey! It's 2012 and we don't need any of that outdated bionic crap anymore. Luckily, Steve had a good Medical Insurance plan and for the price of $200,000, with the latest advancements in micro surgery, laser eye treatment, muscular enhancement and facial reconstruction, here he is now..

And all Steve had to pay was a $1500 deductible!

Unfortunately, John Smith's Insurance plan wasn't so good, so this is the best we could do...

Angry man.
Touch screen in his perfect, arien, he-man like chest enables him to play any form of addictive app's.

Able to hack into pub Wi-fi.

Today the Six Million Dollar man would be built using recycled aluminum for his exoskeleton with satellite receivers in his eyes so could have the ability to track his enemies in real time. His brain would consist of a super computer so new targeting and combat software can be uploaded in a matter of seconds. Finally, his muscles and skin would be made of perfectly bonded, impenetrable fibers.

Of course he would also be considered non profit and/or "environmentally friendly" so the government could get a couple tax deductions.

Using the technology from Rob, the Camera eye, we can rebuild Steve Austin's eyesight.

Man sees with 'bionic eye' - YouTube

Unfortunately, due to defence cuts, there was no money left for bionic limbs so we had to use an egg whisk for his arm and a broomstick for his leg..

He could sit his bum onto an Ipod Dock and play the top the top 100 on the music hits charts.
His belly would have a screen like the teletubbies so he could go on and update Facebook status at any time of the day.
and of course he would have a built in camera so he could take mirror shots to post up on Twitter.

:lol:

Here's a quick cut, copy and paste I did :pound:

We have the technology...

We can rebuild him...

Of course, now that the NASA programme is dying off, would they still bother? They would more than likely just use whatever they had lying around spare. I imagine it would be a bit like in the A Team where they get locked in a shed and then build a tank out of a lawnmower.

Steve Austin would wake up from his long coma to discover that he's got a garden rake for a left leg and a section of barbeque grill for a hand. Instead of a bionic eye he'd find he's got an old 2.0 megapixel nokia phone strapped on the front of his face, and around his middle is a black inflatable rubber ring from Blackpool, which gets popped fairly early on in his missions.

Just link him to Google Play and download all the apps you want :p

I did not look at the other replies, so any repeats does not mean I was stealing them, it rather indicates a lack in uniqueness :nod:

Naturally today's SMDM comes with a trendy and Trademarked abbreviation, with a corporate design covering special font set to be used which is still under wraps. Also included is a strict market independant funding and currency guarantee, which avoids having to change the name constantly, based on the latest discovery of an ultra-rare metal hybrid, worth way more than the most expensive metal known to the general public. This metal is built into the SMDM's crotch and a trade mark for "SafetyDong" is in the works...

Standard stuff like TouchScreen Controls, GPS location, Facebook connectivity, you name it and what is missing can be copied easily via USB 6 (special development to fit the name) or downloaded from any.

To keep open to all usable programs, the inter-corporate operating system WinAplUx was developed and preinstalled programs guarantee a fully functional human bahavior, this includes programms like OfficeSex 2012, iCrap, OpenMind, etc.

...maybe more information becomes available before this competition closes.

Special note @Kyle: Yes, the Manipulato plug-in is fully functional :laugh:

If he was left to this country he be worthless like the rest of us all left on the scrapheap and forgotten about by the goverment because they are to busy sending all our money somewhere else, And wasting it on half witted brain dead ideas

But be hold all is not lost because of who he his,
There several things he could do he could raise money for charity by doing things like running the london marathon, Because he is the world fastest runner he would run a mile a minute and run marathon in 26 / 27 minutes and also run marathon etc around the world and the money he raises goes to good causes and the nhs etc ....
Also he could enter things like the world strongest man or arm wrestling competitions and all the prize money he wins he uses to rebuild himself into different things.
He could also build himself into like a transformer and when there charity events he could become a dreams wish for sick children so if they have ever dreamed of going into a submarine or going into space in a rocket he could then transform himself into that item and give the kids there dream wish...
So not only is he rebuilding himself he helping charities and kids as well...

You thought all that up at 4 o'clock in the morning?? :lol:

Yes sort of ive just got in from work and was thinking about it last night as i was working ...so now im just having a brew and catching up on Eastenders ..

I caught up on ee i know sometimes story lines are ott or far fetched or unrealistic but this week EE has gone to far . I mean someone having sex with shirley :shocked: how on earth can anyone do that . couldnt fancy her if i was pissed and tried to .... But Tanya on the other hand :pray: ow ow ow owwwwwww

if he the 6 million dollar man was made today they would do a public poll on what features he would have if the poll was done in the uk i think the result would be along the lines of this

he would have an asbo gun that shots out asbos that would be more like a chip you would put on a dog , hopefully he wont hit those delinquent teens in the balls

he would scan around playgrounds and out side schools shooting anyone over the age of 17 in fear that could be a sex offender

he would shoot breeds of dogs that have been given bad press in the tabloids that week because if a dog bites a kid it means that all dogs of that breed are evil

he would squirt water out of his nose to extinguish cigarets of people that smoke in public places

he would do a bullet time effect like the matrix but only when people drop litter

he would tell kids that the army is the best thing you can do with your life

he would also be there on your signing day at the job center and tell you how you should have a job if you don't meet your quoter for job search he will kill you

he would also have medical skills of that of a NHS GP so whenever people tell him they are sick he would simply tell them they are not and give them the easiest diagnosis with the cheapest drugs possible that do nothing but make the patient feel contempt they are a sick

he would also have powerful linguistic skills and procrastinate every word you say and turn it around with advanced syllogism word games

and when he speaks publicly about all the injustices in the world he will blame it on video games and hardcore movies and would be pro censorship he would get the PTA groups behind him and all of arrows film releases will be banned and only sold on dodgy street corners and classed as snuff movies but he would promote mainstream movies with no soul like him , movies like transformers and what not

and if they only had a limited budget for him i think he would be a malfunctioning pooper scooper that fines dogs for doing there business that's right dogs not the owners the actual dog

that's my take on it

so can i have my six million dollar man dvds now i wanna see him sing when the bionic woman dies so i can cry my self to sleep

Unfortunately, although the technology DID exist to make Steve Austin into a bionic man, the world recession just about shut OSI down... so when he had his life threatening accident, and needed his legs, arm and eye replacing, there was only one choice.

Repair him with papier mache made from old newspapers.

In the 70s Steve Austin made the headlines... now he's made out of the headlines!

Despite several attempts to make it as a secret agent, Steve was quickly retired. His enemies were able to read him too well.

These days he makes a few dollars working for a different agency. Up every day at 6am to deliver a very special product across the State, Steve Austin is now The Six Million Dollar Paper Boy.

Its set in the future where he the new Jeremy kyle and he doesnt need bouncers etc all he needs is himself.

He hates scumbags chavs etc and everyone who comes on for a lie detector test has been pre warned that if they fail the lie detector test its a vote of death where the audience vote should they die or be given a second chance...if death he just laser beams then to a pile of ashes.

But he does the lie test all they do is put ther hand on his ipad on his chest and he asks the Q? if fail siren goes and red light comes on, if clear green light comes on

Also hates single mothers and if they come on and they are pregnant and the bloke wants nothing to do with them or they dont know who the father is due to a one night stand then he injects the women with needles that are attached to his hands with a virus that automatical terminate the child, and also burns the womb to stops the mother from ever getting pregnant again. thatl put a stop to the young single i want a council house society

Serial cheats he castrates them live on tv not only stops then from cheating again but also from ever having a sex life..

Anyone who swears at him he washes there mouth out with soaps..

And anyone who makes a threat he just rips the arm clean of so they cant do any harm to anyone ....

I made a brilliant video with my son, imagining what the Six Million Dollar Man would be like now if made mostly of cardboard. Unfortunately I ran out of time and haven't uploaded it to youtube yet, and probably won't be able to until after this contest finishes! You'll just have to imagine how good it was...

Depending on what time this contest finishes, I may have time to upload a photo later...

If we did still have the technology, Steve Rogers would be repaired with nanobots, equipped with the latest in Articifial Intelligence. These things would be injected into his blood stream, where they would whizz around, self-replicating and essentially repairing then upgrading his body from the inside out. He would become the ultimate human, able to run, swim and jump better than anyone else. But the nanobots would take it further, giving him spikes and skin that secretes poison, protecting him from predators. They would boost his senses and his brain power to the point that he would be more intelligent than god. What's he going to do with that? Why, get himself a truck and drive across the States solving small town crime of course. And hanging out with bigfoot.

Sooo many fantastic entries with this competition! I was originally going to select a winner this morning, but couldn't bring myself to picking just one winner. So, I've gone through all the entries again and whittled it down to what I think is the best.

And that person is...

Fantastic prize, massive congrats to zombiedead...

Damn, Was excited for this one. Really hoping I'd get it. Oh well, Best man wins :lol: Congrats zombie!

Congrats Zombie! :clap:

No, we're not bitter... Honest...

cheers guys

the last time i won anything like this i was about 6 years old it was a competition in the sun news paper for some VHS tapes of the super Mario bros super show cartoon, the question was where is super Mario and his brother Luigi from i was like its Italy, but i dad demanded it was Brooklyn he filled it in as Brooklyn, I was a little peeved as i was certain he was wrong, well a month later a van drives up to my house and delivers a box and three VHS tapes where inside turns out in the cartoon Mario is from Brooklyn and in the game its Italy the thing is back in those days that show was only on sky TV something we didn't have and i had only herd of the show from some richer friends

so how did my dad know the answer, i think he was a closet fan of the super Mario brothers super show and where did he watch it , i bet he had a hidden sky box he didn't tell me about LOL

any way when i opens the box to see those VHS tapes i was so hysterical with excitement

cheers for bringing back that feeling Kyle
