the six million dollar man bombs at the movies
i'm not sure if we are to take this mess as drama, action, comedy, or just the junk it is. the "plot about a world where cars are outlawed to "enslave" the masses is never given even a remote bit of believeable grounding. the movie then throws in a pilot from the korean war played by the great burgess merideth as the way the goverment tries to stop majors who just happens to be a former race driver who has the last working car and a pump to pull gas left in the bottom of old gas tanks and is running from the goverment to "free califorina" and freedom, . they give this hundred year old man a jet and tell him to kill majors. the fact he doesen't is just silly. this one must have been the nail in majors film life. just junk not worth the time it takes to watch. think about it have you ever heard of it being out at the theaters.

Lee Majors versus the Socialist Totalitarian Dreamland
One has to wonder whether this movie was the inspiration for Al Gore's desire to ban internal combustion automobiles. In any case, this movie shows the kind asinine totalitarian regime Socialists seem to be trying harder and harder to turn the United States into. It gives us a taste of the sort of top-down, "obey the rules or else", brainwashing type of society we could find ourselves in if we're not careful. <
> <
>Having been 'convinced' over the years to submit to authority and preech the 'goodness' of the new oligarchical system compared to the 'badness' of the old individualistic system, Lee Majors' character, an ex-race car driver, find encouragement in a few short pirate television transmissions. "Radio Free California, calling America" inspires him to dig up and reassemble his hidden race car, and flee the defacto prison the east coast has become. <
> <
>In true neo-Democrat/Socialist style, he is ordered stopped at any cost, preferably by being killed. A single Vietnam War aircraft and its pilot (Burgess Merideth) are pulled out of mothballs and a bottle, respectively, for this task. <
> <
>Other means are also employed along the way to try and stop the car and its occupants, including a Stalin/Mao-esque slaughter of a group of innocent people who took them in to give them medical care. <
> <
>Now in 2005, since California is literally going broke spearheading the Union away from individual rights and toward Socialism, the idea of "Radio Free California" returning to machines and to personal liberty takes quite a leap of faith, but it's a fun 3000 mile trip across the country nonetheless. <
> <
>As the story goes, the Social dystopia was able to take hold after a disease wipes out much of the population. Since the time the film came out, 1980, the likelihood of such massive devestation from disease has only increased. And never has the proverb "Power corrupts; Absolute power currupts absolutely" been any truer than it is today. <
> <
>I don't agree for a second that the point of this movie was to encourage the worship of the internal combustion engine or petroleum products. But yes, in the case of Lee Majors' character and the race car, it was a gasoline engine that was the appropriate, if not the only tool capable of escaping tyranny. <
> <
>If this movie is one big ad for big oil companies, does that mean every movie about police who use firearms to help arrest evil-doers, or which shows someone defending their own life with a firearm, is just a big ad for Colt or Glock? <
> <
>Loners who are ticked off at the system trying to pound them into behaving like everyone else will like this movie. I loved this movie! But if you're into that whole "ride public transit or go to jail" thing, you'll only like the first 15 minutes of this movie...so have your Michael Moore tapes ready.
