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.

Sasquatch is SCARY

A legendary episode. I think Steve's first encounter with Bigfoot is still very effective. It begins with very effective foreboding and tension. When Bigfoot arrives, his eyes are still scary as all get out. Find some videos of animals with rabies, and that look in Bigfoot's eyes is exactly like that.

True, it was obviously an actor in a suit, but considering Bigfoot's nature, this is actually justified.
