Brand Hauser (formally known as War Inc.) is set in the future, when the desert country of Turagistan is torn by a riot after a private corporation, owned by the former US president, has taken over the whole state. John Cusack plays the role of a hit man, who suppresses his emotions by gobbling down on hot sauce and is hired by the corporation's head to kill the CEO of their competitors.Everything changes when the ruthless killer finds himself head-over-heels in love with a sexy reporter.
At the end of the movie the character Jim Castillian makes a speach to Steve Austin about wishing he had a father just like him. This is actually an inside joke as Jim Castillian is played by Lee Majors II, Lee Majors' real life son.
The only bionic person from the series who did not make it for the return (aside from the 'Bionic Boy') was Max the bionic dog. Dr. Rudy Wells does make a mention of him though when he is visited by Steve Austin in his OSI laboratory. OSI secretary Peggy Callahan, played by Jennifer Darling also didn't make a return appearance.
Jaime Sommers:
[after throwing Steve through a window] Now look what you made me do!
Steve Austin:
Well, at least we know your bionic arm still works.
Jaime Sommers:
Fortress? They look like a bunch of tired mercenaries that ran out of countries to fight in.
Jim Castillian:
So, have you thought about that drink?
Trisha Sullivan:
I''''''''ve thought of nothing else.
Jaime Sommers:
I''''''''m a friend of your father.
Michael Austin:
You just lost two points.
Jaime Sommers:
So did you.
Oscar Goldman:
So what did you tell him?
Steve Austin:
I gave him the basic idea. He thinks bionics are cool.
Hired Hand:
Get into the car Ms. Summers.
Jaime Sommers:
What a lovely invitation. I''''''''m afraid I''''''''m a little late for work.
[He opens his jacket to reveal he has a gun. She leans forward in an attempt to attack him]
Hired Hand:
Aah, no bionic tricks or my friend over there will fire at those blind children by the van.
Jaime Sommers:
What do you want?
Hired Hand:
Well, if I told you it was your body you might get the wrong impression, but that''''''''s exactly what I want so get in. Now!
Michael Austin:
So, what are you gonna do about it?
Jaime Sommers:
That is none of your business.
Michael Austin:
You don''''''''t know do ya?
Jaime Sommers:
Leave me alone you little brat!
OSI Receptionist:
[after looking Steve up and down] I wonder what parts are bionic?
Oscar Goldman:
Thirty second mile! I''''''''m telling the Olympics committee.
Steve Austin:
What did Brubaker say about me?
Michael Austin:
He said that the reason you gave up flying is because you left your guts on the flight deck.
Steve Austin:
Well, punch him in the mouth.
Michael Austin:
I did.
Jaime Sommers:
I run. In fact I''''''''ll race you to the end of the park.
Michael Austin:
I''''''''m not sure I can cruise sub-sonic anymore. I''''''''ll give you a head-start.
Jaime Sommers:
Gee, your such a pal.
Jim Castillian:
So, your the six-million dollar man.
Steve Austin:
Probably thirty-four by now.
Steve Austin:
Well, at least you still have your sense of humor.
Jaime Sommers:
I sure hope you had yours when you went through that window yesterday.
Jaime Sommers:
So, how was your date last night?
Carol:
Great! It took til desert for him to figure out I was blind. I''''''''m so bad I asked him what it felt like to be on a real blind date.
Jaime Sommers:
Shame on you!
Steve Austin:
So why hasn''''''''t the aging process caught up with you Rudy? Have you been using some of these bionic parts?
Dr. Rudy Wells:
No one will ever know.
Michael Austin:
Why didn''''''''t you tell me?
Jaime Sommers:
Because it was secret. It happened a long time ago. I was in a sky-diving accident and your father made the same life or death decision for me. That''''''''s the closeness you feel. That''''''''s what binds us together.
Tom Brubaker:
Hey! What''''''''s shakin''''''''? The name''''''''s Tom Brubaker.
Hired Hand:
[looking at Jaime] She''''''''s a lot prettier than Austin, and easier to grab.
Martin:
Can I tell you a secret? I''''''''ve never been on a blind date before. You?
Jaime Sommers:
[shakes head no]
Martin:
And to think your friends thought we might not be compatible.
Jaime Sommers:
[puts her hand over her mouth and laughs into a yawn of boredom]
Trisha Sullivan:
Don''''''''t they have any chairs where you come from Mr. Castigan? You must have been raised in the zoo.
Jim Castillian:
That''''''''s Castillian. With two Ls.
[to Steve Austin]
Jim Castillian:
She loves me. Just playing hard to get.
Oscar Goldman:
[looking at the name of his boat] Summer Maiden. Any perticular "Summer" in mind when you named her?
[Steve remembers flashbacks of Jaime and himself in love]
Steve Austin:
Guess I couldn''''''''t forget her no matter how hard I tried.
Oscar Goldman:
How hard did you try?
Steve Austin:
Not very hard.
Steve Austin:
[angry] Oh, you never let go, do you Oscar?
Oscar Goldman:
It''''''''s hard when patriotism runs in your blood.
Steve Austin:
[more angry] You don''''''''t think that kind of patriotism runs through my veins? Didn''''''''t I give enough? Two legs, and arm and an eye?
Oscar Goldman:
The best we ever had.
Steve Austin:
Thanks alot. The answer is still no.
Michael Austin:
Carol.
[runs off to find Carol]
Steve Austin:
I can''''''''t do that.
Jaime Sommers:
I can''''''''t do that either.
Steve Austin:
[after Michael shoots Stenning with his laser eye] I can''''''''t do that either. You didn''''''''t kill him, did you?
Michael Austin:
No. I can control the intensity of the beam. Bet you wish you had one.
Michael Austin:
[after Jamie throws Steve through a window] So, Dad. Nice exit. Ever use the door?
Continuity: When Steve jumps off of the building to save Jaime, he turns in mid-air to land on his side or back. When he lands on the car he is face down on all fours.
Continuity: When Rudy shows Steve the new bionic laser eye it is brown. After it has been inserted into Michael''''''''s head we see it has become the same color blue as Michael''''''''s other eye.
Revealing mistakes: When Steve Austin grabs a machine rifle in the final climactic battle, he bends the end of the gun using his super strength so the user can''''''''t fire it. We can see though that just before he bends the barrel of the gun, it is slightly bent forward already. The gun wouldn''''''''t have been able to fire beforehand anyway if this was the case.
