I hear you, but the near fence is a great illusion, and you cannot have fence everywhere. Besides, watching steve run in slo-mo shows off what is the most wonderful on screen runner, EVER! Notice how his shoulders move but his head moves through space like it's on rails. He sold that running like a boss!
In the book Cyborg, it describes how Austin’s bionic legs enabled him to have a longer stride. It looks like Lee Majors must have picked up on that and incorporated it into his running.
It was decades later that I realised that if he was running at that speed for real, he'd be covering a much bigger distance with each stride. I don't care though, it was a good series.
Not necessarily. His legs would just be going more than 4x faster than what's shown here. If you look at Usain bolt he peaked at 27mph and his legs and the other guy that he barely beat, their legs were whipping around so fast it almost looked like they were on wheels lol. If Steve was really running this fast you'd barely see his legs as they'd be moving at near invisible speed.
@@chrisparkes2179 I don't care either! Cuz you're right! I was a good show. It reminds me of being a kid and being surrounded by my whole family all enjoying the same thing at the same time!
The book it was based on "Cyborg" by Martin Caidin was brilliant, the two follow-ups "Operation Nuke" and "High Crystal", were less good, but still enjoyable. The TV show was really one of the first, if not THE first, of the Saturday evening "take your brain out of gear and just run with it" shows that led to "The A Team" and "Dukes of Hazzard". All great stuff...
Even as a kid when this was on TV I thought it was strange how he could break out of handcuffs by pulling them apart. Yes, one arm is bionic, but the other is not. He would not be able to hold his not bionic arm still or pull against the bionic one to break the handcuffs.
I always found it odd how he could run 60mph in daylight hours and not draw attention to himself? Also when he jumps 40 foot into air onto a balcony he don't check around to make sure hes not seen.
The bionic arm construction was poorly imagined even by early 70s standards. Some circuit boards and flimsy metal with no metal skeleton. What a leap it was just 10 years later when the Terminator's construction was imagined by James Cameron and others.
As a young boy I loved this show. Looking at it now, it’s as cheesy as a show ever was. 😂 Great memories anyway!
its great i still watch it now tbh
Man this brings about child hood memories
Hey back in the seventies, this show was awesome and supercool, and a huge hit👏👏🥴🇦🇺
Too bad they had to go with the slow motion. Him running along that fence was great.

I wonder where they filmed the fence scene?

FYI, that fence was built especially for that shot with the fence-posts built closer together to create the illusion of Steve running faster.

No, just the time in the air between foot contact would be greater, faster stride too, but mostly the time in air...
That's what I mean, he'd travel further with each stride than he covers in the slow motion. His legs would be a blur if shown at proper speed.

Yeh it was speeded up just perfect , great moment 👍🏃♂️
Lee Majors runs beautifully just like Tom Cruise

The one vote down must be the bionic Sasquatch didn't Steve Austin rip it's arm off

only here because of how phoebe buffay runs
Anyone else here from Friends to see how he runs and if its anything like Phoebes run 😂
I can run at 17-18 mph, not quite 60.
Please reboot this series without lame CGI and weak storylines.
