    • Trivia
      During the opening sequence of the show, the crash shown is actual footage of a crash of the M2-F2 experimental lifting body that was part of the research that eventually led to the development of the space shuttle.
    • Goofs
      The "Factual Error" that Austin's human left arm should have been amputated to prevent incompatible balance produces an enormous character error if such had occurred. The friendship that is demonstrated between Austin and Dr. Wells would never allow the latter to amputate a healthy arm of his friend, whether it would be mechanically efficient or not. Further, Dr. Wells is portrayed as the kind of man not to violate his Hippocratic oath of "Do no harm" which such an amputation would be in contrast to.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Rudy Wells: I want to show you something, Steve. This is your arm.

      Steve Austin: That's it, huh?

      Dr. Rudy Wells: Um-hmn. We're rather proud of it. There's a manual that goes with it that has eight hundred and forty pages. I'll give you a copy.

    • Alternate versions
      Re-edited into two episodes of "The Six Million Dollar Man" for syndication. To pad out the story, scenes were added from The Bionic Woman (1975), The Bionic Boy (1976) and Dark Side of the Moon: Part 1 (1977).

      Edited from Lost Flight (1970)

    Wonder If Show inspired any doctors or engineers ?

    I just watched a show on the History Channel talking about Star trek tech and how it inspired scientists and engineers or got then interested in science. It would be interesting to see The History Channel do The same for TSMDM and show bionic tech and talk to doctors and engineers who were inspired by the show to create real bionic arms legs and eyes or the doctors who treat patients with artificial limbs and eyes and ears. In fact I just remembered an episode when Doctor Rudy Wells created a bionic heart used to transplant into some important world leader who if he died would leave a power vacuum which would lead to disaster
