Like James Bond--but without the high-tech gadgets--Angus
MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is one of those rare beings who can avert any
crisis without mussing a hair. (The rest of us should be so lucky.) In the pilot
alone, the secret agent dismantles a missile using a paper clip and fashions a
rocket thruster out of a pistol. Is there anything MacGyver can't do? The answer is a
resounding no. MacGyver's secret: the everyday items he "finds along the way,"
like matches or gum wrappers, and the ingenuity to put them to a myriad of uses
(a background in physics and chemistry doesn't hurt). Unlike Alias'
Sidney Bristow, he isn't a multi-linguist, a martial artist or a master of
disguises. Wits are MacGyver's weapon of choice. |
