56 here. I was a fan also especially of the relationship between him and the Bionic Woman. I was wearing my Six Million Dollar Man wrist radio on August 16, 1977 when I heard Elvis died.
One of the best fight scenes from the series...the slowing-down of the action made it more ominous every time the robot approached. John Saxon did a great job of staring straight ahead at all times during the battle while maintaining that lumbering approach in battle.
concordo plenamente foi uma excelente atuação ainda tenho isso na memória... uma luta clássica com todos os efeitos de som muito harmônico com a ação.... sensacional...
Was fortunate to meet John Saxon at a convention in 2011 and he lit up when I mentioned his role in this episode of the 6 million dollar man and we had a great conversation.
Yes, I remember him alongside with Jim Kelly and the legendary Bruce Lee!🥋💥 Unfortunately, he passed from complications during the pandemic. 😷 Ironically he was buried next to Bruce Lee.⚰️✨🕊️ *R.I.P 🙏
Who here had the Six Million Dollar Man action doll - roll up his skin sleeve and see the electronics, look through the hole in the back of the head and see through the bionic eye… That, along with the Evel Knievel crank and go stunt cycle? You were the envy of every kid in the neighborhood!
Yep... I had the little projector you could look in and play the scenes by turning the crank. I made my mom buy me all that stuff . I cant believe that was 74-75 !!!
@@TheSeangerber The Fisher Price View-Master! Had that too! Remember viewing scenes from Brady Bunch? Partridge Family? For a brief moment you were absorbed in the dark viewing of those 3-D images - it was magically surreal. 😀
Kudos to the genius who suggested giving the robot’s sound effect to Steve Austin after this episode. It was a brilliant way to show his and later Jaime’s and Max’s bionic use. That sound is as legendary and iconic as they are.
They also gave it to Yamo during the fight in the snow in Doctor Wells is Missing episode. Maybe the sound effects guys put it in for a bit of a laugh.
it's the slow motion fight action. It's' the great sound effects. It's the music! This has to be one of the greatest sequences ever filmed for TV. Saw it first-run back in 1974. It is a true CLASSIC!
The guy who played the robot was the actor John Saxon. He was in the movie Enter The Dragon with the legendary Bruce Lee. Now, THAT had great fight sequences.
When Lee Majors knocked off John Saxon's face with that punch and find out that he is a robot, it reminds me of Yul Brynner as the robot cowboy in Westwood. Brynner's face came off like Saxon's to reveal the electronic parts and wiring.
Clearly the inspiration for android design in this episode. Funny how strong a trope this became and remained for a solid decade...until a certain sci-fi/slasher mashup debuted in 1984. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink) Suddenly, hollow mannequin heads stuffed with circuit boards and wires were "out" and chrome plated "skulls" peering through torn flesh were "in".
@marcushaynes Yes, the faceplate of the Robot was definitely inspired by the movie WESTWORLD which I believe had been made a year BEFORE this episode was filmed…Another interesting connection between that movie and the Six Million Dollar Man series is that the actor around at the time of this episode who was playing Dr. Rudi Wells was ALLAN OPPENHEIMER who a year earlier had played the main Robot technician in the movie WESTWORLD…..Allan Oppenheimer played Rudi Wells for the first two seasons 1974-1975 and in real life Allan was the NEPHEW of ROBERT J OPPENHEIMER who was the leader of the Atomic Bomb Project at Oak Ridge in the USA in the 1940s.

Wow, this reminded me of how much simpler life was when I was growing up. I'm grateful to have been a kid in the 80s and 90s instead of now with the mess the world is in. Thank you for posting!
@DaveP-uv1ml - Flawed studies perhaps, the world was a different place and people did not have access to information like today. Cite the studies please.
HE SEE'S THE GIRDER AND JUMPS RIGHT ON IT. VERY INTELLIGENT. I SAW THIS EPISODE, I BELIEVE IN 1974 WHEN I WAS 7 YEARS OLD. IT WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW. ANYONE HERE WATCHED THIS IN THE '70S?
I appreciate that Lee holds his left arm as though it is broken after getting clocked on that side. They really sold that he was afraid his fleshy bits would be crushed in a fight with a pure robot.
They were accurate with this fight scene but I remember the fight scene in "The Seven Milion Dollar Man",when Steve was able to brush Barney's arm away with his human left hand...I don't think they made that mistake again later!
I remember seeing this "first run" as a kid...the story was great, the actions scenes were great and the acting was great.....Simple effective and great.
I was 10 or 11 years old watching this premiere on tv in 73/74…I got goosebumps watching these slomo scenes back then. I’ll be 61 next month and I’m getting the same goosebumps seeing this for the first time since then
The physical acting here is actually quite good. John Saxon’s movements are robotic. Lee Majors emphasizes use of his right arm (the bionic arm) in his attack on the robot. When the robot hits major Austin’s left arm, he holds it as if it might be broken…. Great stuff…
@@zorkmid1083 I couldn't say for certain, but given that his normal arm was struck by his opoonents' bionic/robotic arm with such force, there's a good chance that it probably was.
Definitely! John Saxon performance as a Robotic antagonist was truly EPIC! -------- And Lee Major holding his injured arm sold it the scene for me. Very scary and intense moment in childhood tv life.
@@jamesbarbour8400In the book, Cyborg which six man was based on , he only loses one arm in the crash, but the scientists amputated the good arm too, because he would have been unable to handle the power of the bionic arm in his good human arm, and would have been physically unbalanced.
You can never find this scene on TH-cam too crisp or clear. It’s a Six Million Dollar Man classic and one of the creepiest with the weird growling noises coming from John Saxon’s robot. Excellent acting by him and Lee Majors.
Anyone else have a Six Million Dollar Steve Austin action figure? Remember you had to squint to see through the little hole in the back of his head to look out his bionic eye.
Yeah and there was a button on his back you pushed to crank up his bionic arm the doll came with an engine that he could grip with his hand and lift it up 😆
One of the most memorable episodes of the series, good performance by John Saxon, a great actor who made a valuable contribution to cinema and television.
or Flash Gordon's Ming the Merciless list of natural disaster buttons at the beginning of the movie such as Earthquake, Hurricane, Volcanic Eruption and the hilarious HOT HAIL.
The electronic sounds associated with Sloan were nicely altered as his/its condition changed. By the end they sounded almost like the living cry of an animal, of sorts. Both creepy and strangely moving.
I was about 6 or 7 years old watching this back in the 1970s. Oh man did the Fembots scare me green - I would be terrified to go upstairs to my bedroom alone, convince that one was in my room waiting to get me. Those of us at that age who saw these back in the 1970s would understand !!!
@fesswah I remember the episode with bigfoot also terrified me. I think the worst thing I watched as a kid in the 70s was the movie "When a Stranger Calls"; it was about this guy who kills to little kids while the babysitter is downstairs. I couldn't go to bed after that.
@@lawrencetaylor5407 I remember my cousin taking me to see it. I literally barricaded the door after we went to bed. That movie freaked me out. It's the only one that really scared me as a kid.
I have always wondered if Dr Franklin, the creator of Jamie Sommers’s Fembots, had ever met Jeffrey Dolenz, inventor of Steve Austin’s Robot Sloan. I always wanted a two or three part episode where Dr Franklin added Jeffrey Dolenz’s technology to his own (the actor who played Jeffrey Dolenz passed away soon after the episode where he created his Oscar Goldman robot) and managed to capture Jamie Sommers and Steve Austin. Then the real Oscar Goldman would have been forced to activate Barney Hiller, the $7,Million Dollar Man, to rescue them. Steve Austin, Jamie Sommers and Barney Hiller vs Dr Franklin/Jeffrey Dolenz’s Robot-Fembots. That would have been something to see…
One of the best episodes. One of Steve Austin's best battles as well. The Six Million Dollar Man VS: The Seven Million Dollar Man, Bigfoot, Deathprobe and Robot Oscar were great, as well.
One of the things that makes this scene work so well is that Steve is fighting smart, while the robot has a few preprogrammed moves and brute force. Also, that once Steve's arm gets injured, Lee Majors spends the rest of the fight looking like that arm is broken, or at least fractured.
Thank for uploading this. This episode and the episodes with the Mars lander running amok on earth are my two favorite Six Million Dollar Man episodes.
I never saw this episode, but i felt his arm snap when he got hit on it at such force....its amazing how making it slower made it seem faster and more powerful.
I met John Saxton at a convention about ten years ago. I had a chat with him at his lunch table and he reminisced about working at the Champion Film Company in Fort Lee New Jersey. He was a super laid back, nice guy.
Oliver Nelson wrote a marvelous score for the show and this is one of the themes I remember most strongly from my youth. Pity he died so young as he had a great talent. Many thx for uploading?
Good memories from my childhood. I was born in 1967. I never missed an episode. Neither his nor the Bionic Woman. Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏 A big hug from Brazil! 🙏🙏🙏
watching this now made me feel many of the same feelings I felt when I first saw it in the 70s as a 7 or 8 year old. I remember feeling scared of the villain for Steve Austin's sake back then, and I still felt some of it now. and the cozy feeling of being a kid. this is definitely a highlight of my day
When I was a kid, this episode of The Six Million Dollar Man was the first time I ever remember seeing actor John Saxon, who has an instantly recognizable face.
I always took the malfunctioning noises coming out of robot Sloan to sounds like seagulls. The scene after this, Steve sees the real Sloan sitting in the park, having no clue how he got there. Classic scene.
The Six Million Dollar Man used to be one of my favorite shows growing up. I used to watch this on the Sci-Fi channel way back in the 90's as a rerun not an actual airing. Including The Bionic Woman and The Incredible Hulk. The good times back then.
@@pacmancdi I used watch Monsters that came right afterwards on the Sci-Fi channel. Also the early days of cell phones and the internet. This brings back so many memories.
I hoped the Hulk and The Six Millian Dollar Man had a few crossovers. Too bad the Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman ran its course by the time the Hulk TV Series took off
Don't for get Steve's fight with Barney, the Seven Million Dollar Man. Barney was almost killed in an auto racing accident and also made bionic by Rudy Wells. However both of Barney's arms were bionic instead of just the right arm like Steve had.
I was 12 years old at the time of this episode. I remember at the beginning of this episode inside a laboratory a weightlifter attempted to lift a barbell with a lot of weight and wasn't able to, then somebody says "send in Mr. "X". All you could see is a person with a hoodie on his head with his back to the camera and goes over to the heavy barbell and grasp the barbell with one hand in the center part of the bar and raises the barbell in slow motion. But what caught me by surprise was that it was a robot that had no face yet!!
What I love about this fight scene is how Steve look as he’s actually fighting for his life. Incredible performances by both Lee Majors and John Saxon and one of the very best episodes in the entire series.

I understand.
I understand only too well . . .
I have always wondered if Dr Franklin, the creator of Jamie Sommers’s Fembots, had ever met Jeffrey Dolenz, inventor of Steve Austin’s Robot Sloan. I always wanted a two or three part episode where Dr Franklin added Jeffrey Dolenz’s technology to his own (the actor who played Jeffrey Dolenz passed away soon after the episode where he created his Oscar Goldman robot) and managed to capture Jamie Sommers and Steve Austin. Then the real Oscar Goldman would have been forced to activate Barney Hiller, the $7,Million Dollar Man, to rescue them. Steve Austin, Jamie Sommers and Barney Hiller vs Dr Franklin/Jeffrey Dolenz’s Robot-Fembots. That would have been something to see…
Watched this live back in the 70’s. Fantastic show - as were many back then. Miss those days - a better time.
A simpler happier time.
One of the best episodes. One of Steve Austin's best battles as well. The Six Million Dollar Man VS: The Seven Million Dollar Man, Bigfoot, Deathprobe and Robot Oscar were great, as well.
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Ted Dibiase?

Um this is so bad it makes star trek look real
@@Azazel2024 No, this looked real because of the complete absence of cartoonish CGI.
It would have taken ages what with them moving in slow motion and everything!
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc
That’s because he has properly maintained his bionic legs,arm and eye.
This and the Bigfoot battle were the best
watching this now made me feel many of the same feelings I felt when I first saw it in the 70s as a 7 or 8 year old. I remember feeling scared of the villain for Steve Austin's sake back then, and I still felt some of it now. and the cozy feeling of being a kid. this is definitely a highlight of my day
Lee majors was a great actor in the western big valley and the six million dollar man
Lee Majors was also great as The Fall Guy
Ohhhhh yeahhhh. He was on that show. All I remember was Heather Thomas.@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc

@@kenb2671 Thank you for responding to my comment.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc No problem. The Fall Guy does have a catchy intro.😊👍🏾
This is actually the first Gen model of a Terminator.
Westworld came out a year before, yul brenners malfunctioning machine that stalks the films heroes is still a great film today imho.
Yes it seems 👍
@6:28 we once again see the hazard of lithium ion batteries!
Electric boogaloo.

When I was a kid, this episode of The Six Million Dollar Man was the first time I ever remember seeing actor John Saxon, who has an instantly recognizable face.
This was one of my favorite episodes, along with the Death Probe episodes part 1 & 2.
*thanks for uploading! Been searching fir this full fight for years - sound effects/music and all*
5:48 I love how they added some Atari sounds here
John Saxon should've won an Oscar for this scene. I was totally convinced he was a robot. Boston Dynamics should hire him as a consultant.
They should, but he died!!🙂😑
the special efx are wild...I used to LOVE this show though
So cool I remember watching this episode when I was 10. That flying double leap kick was lethal!
The computerized background sounds after RoboSloanbot gets his face smacked off is the icing on the cake 😂
What a time of an era the shows were on TV, you excited to c the show. Now it is too much reality.
Wow I was six years old when I first watched that episode.
Same here. For Christmas my parents got me the Steve Austin doll and blow up lab. Smile😊
Me too
Me too!
I was 7 and I will never forget this battle, it has stayed with me for 50 years
@@donaldallen9804 I remember being afraid for him.
Chewing gum for the eyes classic thanks for uploading and getting me interested in 70's action stuff like the bionic man
I always took the malfunctioning noises coming out of robot Sloan to sounds like seagulls. The scene after this, Steve sees the real Sloan sitting in the park, having no clue how he got there. Classic scene.
The robot whimpers like a hurting dog when it dies🤣🤣🤣🤣
This episode had great sound effects.
The Six Million Dollar Man used to be one of my favorite shows growing up. I used to watch this on the Sci-Fi channel way back in the 90's as a rerun not an actual airing. Including The Bionic Woman and The Incredible Hulk. The good times back then.
Same here. I watched many 80s and 70s shows thanks to cable reruns. The Incredible Hulk and Battlestar Galactica were my favorites.
@@pacmancdi I used to watch these shows every afternoon. Also Quantum Leap. The good times back then. Battlestar Galactica came in every mornings.
@@Bates1960 Quantum leap was amazing as well. I watched the new version which was ok but I definitely liked the old one better.
@@pacmancdi I used watch Monsters that came right afterwards on the Sci-Fi channel. Also the early days of cell phones and the internet. This brings back so many memories.
I like the Death Probe, this one plus Bigfoot.
I hoped the Hulk and The Six Millian Dollar Man had a few crossovers. Too bad the Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman ran its course by the time the Hulk TV Series took off
@@3912JamesThey would have never crossed over regardless, two completely different series...
@@jameshendricks2197
I know. As a kid I had plenty of hope.
Which Death Probe? The original, or the newer, more deadly (black) version?
Bigfoot, was also good. I like the original one best (Andre the Giant).
Don't for get Steve's fight with Barney, the Seven Million Dollar Man. Barney was almost killed in an auto racing accident and also made bionic by Rudy Wells. However both of Barney's arms were bionic instead of just the right arm like Steve had.
The slow motion action was so cool, but the digital sound fx was perfect.
Awesome! What memories! That fall at 1:48 looked real and painful!
Somebody, somewhere, decided a killer military robot should wear brown flared corduroys, and frankly I'm here for it.
❤
6:26 gotta love those flexible steel girders! 🤣
Love the wrecked military half-track and helicopter cockpit / nose(?).
How is his coat suddenly ripped at the back 04:37? At 05:36 dark sleeves don’t match the coat.
I was in college when this episode aired. I remember this fight scene quite well. Pretty cool for the time plus the added weird sound effects.
와우! 진짜 감성 돋네요^^ 초등학생 때 정말 너무 재미있게 봤었던, 6백만불의 사나이!!!
I used to LOVE THIS SHOW. I remember this episode.
I was 12 years old at the time of this episode. I remember at the beginning of this episode inside a laboratory a weightlifter attempted to lift a barbell with a lot of weight and wasn't able to, then somebody says "send in Mr. "X". All you could see is a person with a hoodie on his head with his back to the camera and goes over to the heavy barbell and grasp the barbell with one hand in the center part of the bar and raises the barbell in slow motion. But what caught me by surprise was that it was a robot that had no face yet!!
The multiple blur while lifting with the eerie theme really made the robot more creepy! Great stuff!
Great scene from an awesome episode
This is still cool even by today's standards the music and acting making this stand the test of time.
What I love about this fight scene is how Steve look as he’s actually fighting for his life. Incredible performances by both Lee Majors and John Saxon and one of the very best episodes in the entire series.
This episode and the sasquatch one and the venus probe thing. I also remember this fight song.
This one is my favorite! Thanks for sharing!
I see why Saxon had so much padding on.
He was a buff dude in real life, naturally stocky but yea you can see some padding
He was cold. Normally robots don't even bother wearing a coat at all.
Great attention to detail that when he was hit in his non bionic arm the arm was badly injured.
This was the episode I remember the most from my youth! That long fight scene with the great John Saxon and that music! Classic!
