Trivia
Features the first use of the iconic "na-na-na-na" sound, usually associated with bionic Steve Austin, during his tennis game but only for his bionic eye and not his bionic limbs.

Goofs
After Steve drops the steel girder, it bounces and wiggles as if made of rubber.

Quotes
Gavern Wilson: When was the last time you saw Mr. Austin?
Robot: [imprinted with Fred Sloan's memories] Mister? You mean Colonel Austin, don't ya? Steve would cringe if anybody would call him mister. He's all airforce, there's not a drop of mister in him. The last time I saw my buddy Steve Austin was on the tennis court this morning.

Best episode of the series!

I've seen every episode at least 15 times. Lots of great and iconic episodes, but this one was always my favorite. The triple TV cameras, the robot malfunctions, the epic fight at the end. The sounds. The story. All TEN STARS!
