Today at Maker Faire 2008, MacGyver creator (and real life inspiration) Lee David Zlotoff announced he has a big budget MacGyver movie in the planning stages.

If you're gonna make a MacGyver movie, you've got to bring back RD Anderson. I've only got one question, and Judge will love this one.

Back during it's heyday in the '80s, Mac had gorgeous women throwing themselves at him left and right, but never showed any real interest. Was he gay, or did he have a girlfriend with a testicle lockbox?

Well, he did wind up with a son...

Gum a test tube and voila a clone son.

You forgot the Centrifuge made with a rubber band and Paperclip, oh and three rolls of Duct tape.

I was never a MacGyver fan, I only saw bits and pieces when my mother was watching it when I was visiting my parents so I am not conversant with all the details of his "improvisations".

Question, what exactly was the mission of the Phoenix Foundation?

About the same as FLAG for Knight Rider or The Firm for Airwolf

The Airwolf pilot episode stated that the Firm is a black ops division of the CIA. They built airwolf for espionage and occasional paramilitary work. FLAG is a private law enforcement organization which was founded by Wilton Knight. Knight was an auto manufacturer, which is why their primary crime fighting machine was a talking car.

Exactly.. combine the 2 of them and you have Phoenix Foundation

But phoenix seemed to have its hand in everything. In one episode they had a safehouse, I remember one episode MacGyver mentioned that they were developing alternate energy specifically a geothermal power plant. It has been a few years since I've seen a MacGyver episode.

By the way, apparently, mythbusters did a MacGyver episode.

Ya' know, I'd actually buy that MacGuyver was gay. Something about the way he grinned in the intro, the even tan, and the thing that you mentioned. If he wasn't gay, perhaps he was a closet case. Oh, and the hair.

I don't think it's what the character's creators intended, mind. It was the thing in the '80's to have your male hero be the 'unapproachable lone wolf'. Which actually reinforces that whole gay idea because most guys that give off that vibe are gay.

I think they would have called the series "MacGayver" if he was gay....

And he would have travlled the world interiour decorating using stuff he had to hand or found.

knightstorm · « **Reply #15 on:** June 16, 2008, 05:58:32 pm »

Well to be fair, the demands of the series didn't really allow him to end up with anyone. His character has to travel the world having adventures, so he couldn't get tied down with a girlfriend, and he was the hero of a prime time series which meant he had to set some sort of moral example, and not have multiple one night stands.

To quote Denis Hopper.... "Heroes are such shallow characters.... that's why I prefer to play villans.... now they have depth plus equal screen time and have more fun."

Is it true he made a bomb out a stick of gum?

Wasn't there an episode when they introduced MacGyver's son? I seem to remember it being late in the series, back when Pete was starting to be blind on the screen, (like the actor was in real life)

Akira_Commander567 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2008, 01:28:17 pm »

I think so, my mom has EVERY SINGLE episode avaliable on DVD. She likes to watch them alot.

Really? I thought it was because he was type cast, and couldn't get any other roles.

I just remember Terri Hatcher and the only babe who had anything resembling a role as his partner absolutely falling over themselves to get him in the sack, and he blew them off. That was 20 years ago, and I was lot younger, but even now, if Terri Hatcher is throwing herself at me, I'm not going to get philosiphical about it, I'm going to find the nearest comfy spot and start removing clothing.

Actually, I always thought Hopper's typecast was a drugged out loon, like he was in "Apocalypse Now".

Gary Oldman is still numero uno Hollywood villian...... he was great in "Leon".

If they want a super villian for another Bond film , then Gary Oldman would be ideal.

Pestalence_XC · « **Reply #24 on:** June 25, 2008, 06:14:07 pm »

Nope, MacGyver is not gay.. there are too many episodes where MacGyver is rescuing or helping an old girlfriend..

Once case in point.. Episode 63 The Endangered

While visiting an old girlfriend who's a park ranger at a wildlife reserve, MacGyver runs into deadly poachers who are intent on hunting animals on the reserve. When MacGyver tries to uncover their plot, they come after him. Now it's a race against time to escape the poachers, save the animals, and save their own lives.

I think if they make a MacGyver film, the villian will be Murdoc. He is Angus MacGyver's arch-nemesis.

Ok............... The only episode of MacGyver I remember is when he had to fight the neo Nazis, if I remember correctly.
