The Steel Collar Man

I saw this movie, I think it was a pilot which was never bought. the most memorable moment is when Chuck Connors, he played McCain in the Rifleman T.V. series, goes to the trunk of the car to find a weapon, he takes out a rifle and does a little rifleman thing, clearly reminiscing of the series, then opts for a different gun. Besides that, it did't make any sort of impression. The android was gonna try to make it to Washington DC and convince the senator why he should exist. To make this a series, he would have to walk the whole way.

Why did I search IMDb for this series. My friend messaged that she was finally gonna have surgery on her very young knees then I wrote back, "didn't know bionics could be done for less than six million dollars". Then I remembered, hey, steel collar man, I should search IMDb for that title. Clearly this proves everything show and movie is listed on this database. All hail IMDb ..

I remember viewing this movie. I was very young then and did not have the impeccable good taste that I have now. Back then, this movie was cute, even funny in parts. But now that I'm old and my memory doesn't always jibe with the facts, I have a different recollection as to who starred in this movie. I could have SWORN Dave Thomas played the lead. Following the success of SCTV he was a recognizable and hot property. I recall in his role as the android, his mugging for the camera. It was funny. The other scene I though was funny was when assassin Chuck Conners was selecting a weapon to use to "kill" the android. He picked up the rifle he had used in The Rifleman, considered it for a moment, and decided against it. Were there two versions of this movie? Why is my vivid memory of it so different from the IMDB account of it? It's Mandella, I tell you.
