Some changes to the show's premise were made between "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1973) movie and the sequel. In the first film, Austin is described in dialogue as being a civilian, but in this film this is changed to him being an Air Force Colonel (and dialogue confirms this version of the character was a Colonel at the time he walked on the moon). As noted above, Oliver Spencer (Darren McGavin) was replaced by Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) (a character from the original Cyborg novels) and a new actor plays Dr. Rudy Wells. In addition, the organization, for which Colonel Austin works, is now the OSI, not the OSO.
First appearance of Richard Anderson as Oscar Goldman. Despite being featured in the original "Cyborg" novel, the character had been replaced with one named Oliver Spencer (Darren McGavin) in "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1973) movie. Also, first appearance of Alan Oppenheimer as Dr. Rudy Wells, replacing Martin Balsam.
When he appeared in this feature length pilot, David McCallum was two years away from starring in his own "The Invisible Man (1975)."
Britt Ekland would soon be cast as the next Bond girl after appearing in "Wine, Women and War."
"Universal" seemed rather uncertain about whether to commission a regular show, hence the reason for this second feature length episode.
"Cynthia Holland: [Steve is winning at a casino] Oh, is there anything you aren't good at? Col. Steve Austin: Well, I've never had much success at milking reindeer."
"Cynthia Holland: Do you like girls? Col. Steve Austin: [after cornering Cyn at the bar] Mmm-hmm. Yes, very much. I think they're great fun. In fact I wanted to take one to the moon with me. There were some experiments I wanted to attempt in a zero gravity situation. But they wouldn't let me. What you really want to know is why I hadn't made a pass at you. Cynthia Holland: Well, a girl does like to think that she's attractive. Col. Steve Austin: And you are. If I was ready to open up to anybody, I think it would be you. But... Cynthia Holland: Yes? Col. Steve Austin: I read someplace that you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry to be rid of a hurt. It's good for people to feel. That's what separates us from machines and some institutions. Cynthia Holland: That's so beautiful I think I'm going to cry. Col. Steve Austin: That's good for you, too. Now take off your clothes. Cynthia Holland: What? Col. Steve Austin: Get in your bathing suit, we're going for a swim. Then we have a big night ahead of us."
