MacGyver - His mind is the ultimate weapon


MacGyver is a highly intelligent, optimistic action hero who prefers non-violent conflict resolution wherever possible. He refuses to carry or use a gun due to a childhood accident with a revolver that resulted in the death of a friend—though MacGyver can be seen firing an AK-47 at some Russian soldiers during the episode "Pilot" before his dislike of firearms had been established. The character is portrayed as an outspoken gun control advocate as well as being politically liberal in other respects. Even in cases where his improvised devices are used to attack hostile opponents, he is always shown doing so in self-defense and, if possible, subduing or disabling rather than killing. He is often suspicious of militaristic attitudes within the government; he sees his Phoenix Foundation employer as an alternative to the more conventional (and violent) means of law enforcement.

MacGyver is a different kind of hero - he doesn't use weapons, he's afraid of heights, and he's an expert at making complicated machines out of ordinary things. A fan, a dough-scraper and some duct tape forms an excellent helicopter attack. A cut credit card can help cause a traffic jam. A light bulb makes an outstanding set of lock picks...

My comment: Nice drama series. He introduce this movie to me. May Ling, Sue Anne and someone out there watch this movie also. Hehe... but there should be someone share this to me and someone watch with me together. Hehe, thanks KeeLeng for your sharing... :P And who is the one accompany me watching this? :D :P
