Bionic Woman (2007 TV series)
Since the rights to the novel "Cyborg" by Martin Caidin were held by other parties, the new series excluded any overt elements from it (although it did not prevent the writers from giving Jaime elements of bionics from the original novel, such as a bionic eye). This was the same for the character Steve Austin from the "Six Million Dollar Man", of which the original "The Bionic Woman" was a spin-off. Neither Kenneth Johnson nor Martin Caidin received screen credit on the new series, where they did in the original "Bionic Woman". Johnson has confirmed on his website that he had no involvement with the new "Bionic Woman" series. Lindsay Wagner, the original Bionic Woman, also played no part in the new series. Wagner said, "On a technical level, it was very good, but I don't think they understood the show. It was steeped in that old-school thinking. It was like a lot of things today, angry and dark."
Second Wind (1976 film)
Michael Walsh remarks that the film was made when Canadian producers found it easier to obtain financing if they cast American actors in starring roles, a regular strategy used by producer James Margellos. This was the first feature film for James Naughton, who had featured in television roles since 1972, and was best known at the time from the single-season 1974 television series "Planet of the Apes". Lindsay Wagner was known for her lead role on the American science fiction television series "The Bionic Woman".
