Big Mac Attack

True believers know that nothing stops MacGyver, not even cancellation. So when ABC axed the action-adventure series starring Richard Dean Anderson in '92, fans knew it was only a matter of time till its return. Time's up: Anderson is in London filming two new ABC MacGyver movies--"Trail to Doomsday" and "The Lost Treasure of Atlantis"--for next season. Both have plenty of Mac's patented escapades. "I hot-wire a Jeep loaded with missiles, climb up the side of a castle, crawl through sewers, and drive a Cobca sports car 100 miles an hour through the English countryside," says Anderson, whose next challenge--playing Wyatt Earp in an NBC movie--may be even more daunting. Dueling with him to redefine the role are Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell, both of whom play Wyatt Earp in upcoming features.
