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.

What's ironic about the picture in the linked page is that MacGyver is a self-proclaimed pacifist.
That was pretty much his entire reason for using his DIY skills because (like Batman) he hated guns.

I just have one other thing to say about this:

Richard Dean Anderson or don't even bother making it.

If Harrison Ford can make another Indiana Jones film, then RDA can make a MacGyver film.

Oh, it would be great if they brought as much of the original cast as possible. I'd be just as happy if they brought back Angus' old stage-magician friend, Jack Dalton (Bruce McGill).

And don't forget that Murdock never dies. ;)

So I take it Batman and MacGyver are Liberals! lol! j/k

No. Batman just hates guns--that's how his parents were murdered after all. He's not a pacifist; he'll still kick the villains butt any day of the week. :P

If every good person had the same level of skill & training as the Batman, we wouldn't need guns either. :)

Hence the title. Note that MacGyver used an AK47 in the pilot episode... just not to kill anyone. He also lit and inhaled a few cigarettes, but was noticeably disgusted, lol.

I don't remember the AK47 but I do remember that he used chocolate to help prevent a nuclear meltdown.

I also remember an episode where he knocked the barrel out of a revolver to make an impromptu wrench. :laugh:

Oh wow. It has been too long since I've watched an episode of 'The Simpsons.' I had forgotten all about Patty & Selma's obsessive infatuation with Mr. Angus. :laugh:

And the strip-mining of 80s pop culture continues...wake me up when they make "Small Wonder" into a feature film...
