Trivia
The rotating ice tunnel featured here was at the time a brand new addition to the Universal Studios Tour called 'The Glacier Avalanche'. It was inspired by The Eiger Sanction (1975), but soon became linked with The Six Million Dollar Man. In 1997 it was redesigned to resemble the dormant volcano from Dante's Peak (1997) and again in 2001 as the entrance to The Mummy's Tomb.

Goofs
When the aliens are examining Steve, he is undressed. When they test his bionic eye, he is wearing his shirt for a split second, then he is naked again.

Quotes
Apploy: [looking down at Steve Austin] He's by far the most interesting man we've seen.

Part one

Two geologist friends of Steve Austin disappear in Californa while placing earthquake sensors in the woods. A giant footprint is found nearby, leading to speculation of the involvement of a Sasquatch. Besides that, there's some strange observers, possibly from the outer world.

This is an engaging start to part one with the highlight being the showdown between Steve and big foot, which, I must say is quite exciting and well staged- possibly one of the best fights on the show so far. The big foot is played by Andre the giant and he's definitely follicle-challenged and leaves giant footprints. The scenery is good - Stefanie Powers add some sizzle as one of the other worldly observer. It ends with Steve being captured and examined.
