Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lee H. Katzin also directed episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man, explaining why this helicopter moves like it's barely under budget control.
This aired on NBC in 1975 when 'TV movie' meant networks burning money on stunts they'd never attempt today. The Riddler doing a heist flick? Peak 70s random casting.
