Part 2

[coltras35 · 7/10 · 26 October 2023]

Steve Austin has met a colony of space travelers living inside a California mountain. They are observing earth and had used the big foot to test him. They intend to erase his memory of them. Meanwhile, Oscar Goldman and his team are preparing to trigger a small earthquake in order to prevent a larger one from happening. The aliens want to do the opposite which would mean many earthlings dying, and Austin is determined to stop them.

Part 2 continues the rather out-there yet intelligently told story - the special effects are good for its time, the location is great and there's a good message in there.

(note: this review covers parts 2&1) Iconic, heart-pounding, frightening, silly, and...wonderful. Steve tracks down a missing scientist in the wilderness, and is attacked by...bigfoot (andre the giant - THE PRINCESS BRIDE, MICKI & MAUDE)! But the big fella is simply an automaton, testing steve on behalf of peaceable aliens who are observing Earth. Steve is lured into their mountain outpost, through a wild rotating ice tunnel. Their scientist of bionics (stefanie powers - HART TO HART, HERBIE RIDES AGAIN) gets a fine case of austin crush. They plan to wipe his memories and release him, but Oscar is nearby exploding an underground nuke, to prevent a major California quake. The aliens try to prevent the blast, but steve stops them. Working with sasquatch, he helps save their survivors. His memory is erased, and he'll see them no more ever again...or will he? The greatest bionic fight ever - the stuff of indelible childhood memory. Toss in a quick bionic woman cameo plus no mustache-twirling villains, and it's all too marvelous for words.
