Synopsis:
It's A Bionic Love Story!

Colonel Steve Austin's true love, tennis pro Jaime Sommers, is critically injured in a skydiving accident. To save her life, the O.S.I. transforms Jaime into the world's first Bionic Woman. But there is a price! Jaime now has amnesia!!! Can Steve win back the love of his life???

Find out in this soapy melodrama where there are no villains, only the sweet musical sounds of the 70s!
Intention:
This an HD remake of my SD fan edit The Bionic Bride from nearly a decade ago.
I just wanted to have some fun and inject some new energy into this version, rather than just doing an exact cut for cut remake. So along with better picture quality and a slightly altered narrative, I have added several needle drops of era appropriate music to help sell our characters' emotional journey.

<div>Another fine bionic edit from Bob! The music additions were all well chosen and he’s condensed 4+ episodes into a nice love story where our hero, played by Lee Majors, really gets to show his acting chops. My only little nitpick, which doesn’t detract from the presentation at all, is that I wish there was a mission or action sequence included to show Jamie in action and utilizing her new bionics. I guess that’s what the implied sequel is for! A great edit that highlights the bionic relationship we want to root for! I know Moonlighting was the original “will they/won’t they” TV relationship, but I feel like Steve and Jamie deserve part of that title as well.&nbsp;</div>

if you like the six million dollar man and the bionic woman and you like 70s music, boy oh boy is this the edit for you. very well done narrative with a beautiful wrap up of steve and jamie's intertwined life over the course of the shows. the soundtrack helped the narrative and fit perfectly. this was a banger and you need to see this.

Good lord what can I say about this edit.? Except pass the cheese. This has to be one of e the cheesiest things I have seen with the 6 million Dollar Man (42 Million in todays money, I checked). I mean the bad toupees, bad props (you can see seams), 2 to 3 stunt doubles (and they are damn obvious) in the same scene. Jamie's parachute goes from colorful to white to colorful to white before she hits the ground !!!! A tin roof takes out the Bionic Man while he hits a bad guy , while on the ground, with a pole and the bad guys just limps !!!!! A BIONIC HIT !!!!!! And I watched and enjoyed this show when I was a kid!!!????? Damn right I did as I do now. Ol' BB put together quite a bit here with this edit. And made it a seamless movie. I laughed I cringed. Do ya this Steve and Jamie could charge a Tesla? Anyway if you enjoy the 6 Million Dollar Man (42 Million in todays money) and the Bionic Woman you'll really enjoy this edit. As always no techie stuff here just enjoyment value. So on my popcorn scale I will give this a 10 out of 5 and a pack of AAA batteries, Steve might need a jump.
