base40 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Getting busy on here Strange request. Anyone remember the Six Million Dollar Man? Remember the "bionic" sound effect they used when he did his bionic things jumping around and such? I want an audio file of it. Anyone able to help out? Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Didn't they make that sound by holding a perspex ruler over the edge of a desk and twanging it? Link to post Share on other sites
Dims 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Jesus base that brings back the memories. Close Ocean, very close. Speaking of such, anyone remember Shazam. He used to cruise around in a big Winnebago (sp?) with lightning bolts on it. Had a similar noise when he changed into Shazam man. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 http://www.wavcentral.com/tv/six_million.html I'm not at all convinced though. It sounds more like one of those expensive metal rulers my friend Jeremy had... Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I used to love that ruler music trick. I was always interested in the different sounds various rulers made. Link to post Share on other sites

I was contented to think that that noise was an authentic "bionic" noise. And now my day has been shattered by above revelation.

badmigraine 0 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 Here's another sound clip link. This one has a longer bionic sound, and also has the "rebound" sound! Six Million Dollar Woman site... Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 It's a bit different from how I remember it. I read somewhere that Lee Majors did his knees in making that show. They required him to jump from significant heights without bending his legs to make him look 'more bionic'. He said it really hurt. Then he had to have surgery on his knees, and had all sorts of pins and plastic put in there. So in reality too, he became the Bionic Man. Weird eh? Life mirrors Art.

oblivion 5 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I have fond memories of the 6 million dollar man. I'd really like to see some of it again - anyone seen it recently, does it stand the test of time at all? Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I saw an episode of the Bionic Woman recently. It was rubbish and very old looking. But that series was rubbish in the first place, if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites
