Also on this one I voted excellent to this conclusion episode. They made a deal in stealing that Ming Dragon and MacGyver let know who's in charge. That right he himself. He says where he'll do the drop and when he does the drop after seeing Lisa and Kosoff. Great finale too. |

| I love the scene where Mac and Jack break into the air duct and steal the dragon...that whole scene has everythign I think of when I think of MacGyver. This is one of my all time favourate episodes. |

... continuation of excellence. Who do you enlist when you have to break your own flawless? security system? Who do you call when stealing a priceless national treasure? Who do you want on your side when risking international diplomatic crisis. oh.. and trying to save that stupid ex? Jack Dalton!!  Classic interaction. Some of the funniest stuff out of the entire series. |

| Ow... ch... urther? Since when do you speak Russian? How much further? That's such a good one and when MacGyver gets trapped inside that glass. He pulls a face like... you know that with his nose and Jack Dalton goes: 'I don't know the combination!' Mac with his finger on the glass and Jack goes: 'Nine?' That was hilarious.
I agree, second that motion. Seen it too. Nicholas Cage is da man. One of my favourite actors or should I say movie actors? It's a recommendation. |

I have to agree. I DON'T like Nicolas Cage and I think that was a great movie. That's how kewl it was. |

How can you NOT like Nicolas Cage??? He's one of my favourites. He and Mel Gibson are fighting for the first place as best actor in my mind. 8MM, Windtalkers, Leaving Las Vegas... all Cage recommedations. |

Don't know. Just don't. I like Mel though. but I  8MM?  Windtalkers? Good movie dispite him. Leaving Las Vegas? Never saw it. |

| Hmm, well a side note on movies here. I must second the recommendations for "National Treasure", which, next to Spider-Man 2 and Napoleon Dynamite, is like the best movie of 2004!!!!! I totally love this movie. It's definitely worth owning. It's is a treasure hunt movie, but it doesn't feel like a rip-off of Indiana Jones. It is similar to Indiana Jones, but Benjamin Gates also is like a combination of Indiana Jones, a little bit of James Bond, and definitely a lot of MacGyver!!!!! (I also felt a twinge of Mission:Impossible flavor in there too, with the team of Ben, Abigail and Riley.) In fact, Riley and Ben were quite similar to the team of Jack and Mac, which is what makes "Lost Love" (Part 2) such an awesome episode. MacGyver and Jack working together is hilarious. And Jack is really funny when MacGyver's trapped in the case and he's trying to figure out the combination. This is also one of the times where Jack helps MacGyver out- one time to counter for the gazillion times Mac's bailed Jack out! And MacGyver has the whole deal with running into his old, thought-dead love Lisa, finding out she's really tricked him, and then watching her double-cross Kosof and finding out she really does love him but then she's shot dead. What a turn of events!  As Benjamin J. Grimm would say, "What a revolting development this is!"But anyway, it's definitely one of my favorite MacGyver episodes. The 2-parters usually tend to be especially good. Another neat thing to point out is that this episode features the return appearance of a character from Season 1's "Thief of Budapest" episode! (At least I think this is supposed to be the same character, even though it's portrayed by a different actor. ) Other points of interest- look for a new Nicholas Cage movie next years when he takes on the role of Marvel superhero Johnny Blaze, better known as Ghost Rider! Also, cool rumor to think about. Disney is considering a sequel to "National Treasure"!!!!!!!!!! That would be cool if it's really done right. I can't wait. And some good Mel Gibson movies include "Braveheart", "Maverick", "Man Without a Face", "Forever Young", the "Lethal Weapon" movies and he's still very well known for his action persona of "Mad Max"!!!!! And my favorite Mel Gibson movie is definitely "The Passion of The Christ"!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Cool trivia fact- Mel Gibson has a small but significant cameo in the movie. It's his hand that hammers the nail into Jesus' wrist, showing that he is just as guilty as all of us of putting Jesus on the cross because of his and our sin.) Very awesome movie. And a very awesome episode of MacGyver. |

 I thought that when I finally saw it, too! Really great movie! It put me in the mood to watch MacGyver! It had some really cool MacGyverisms in it too, though I can't recall them off hand--been awhile now since I saw it! I remember thinking "Hey, Mac would do something like that!" |

I couldn't help but wonder whether Pete would have broken up over what was going on inside the glass when they were looking at the security tape, but they cut it off before it gets there!  I love how Pete never doubts his friend in spite of the condemning evidence. Super great episodes! |

| Something else I love about this ep is that Mac is the one getting Jack in trouble for once! When they're in Mac's room and he's telling Jack what's happened and what he has to do and he says to Jack "We have to steal the Ming Dragon" I can almost see the thought process going on in there. Remembering all the times he wanted to punch Jack in the nose, how many times he rolled his eyes at Jack's schemes, or all the times he tried to evade getting involved and got suckered in anyway--now it's his turn! Great irony! You can almost see the wince, even though it's not on his face. "What do you mean 'we', Kemosabe?" Heehee. And I love when Mac says "Egg-zactly." Talk about switching places. |

| Here's another one for the Nicholas Cage fans: "Kiss of Death." Also has David Caruso. Cage plays a totally psycho bad guy, the kind who's truly nasty but so nuts he's funny, too. I also noticed the return of the character from Thief of Budapest. I thought he was familiar! |
Safety first!
The foot chase through Chinatown is funny, and a good location to use. The scenes at the generating plant were very, very suspenseful I thought for sure Mac was going to drop the Dragon on the floor and into a million pieces. Jack had some really hilarious lines, like "Houdini was an amateur!" when Mac picks that lock in only a few seconds. And I laughed so hard when Mac put Tanya in that shed with the necklace! And then Tanya gets blown away! A great sequel to the 1st part.
