MacGyver - Thief of Budapest
MacGyver Monday takes us back to another adventure featuring science-adventurer Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) finds himself working with a young gypsy pickpocket (Kelly McClain) who chose the wrong person to steal from putting her family in danger leading to MacGyver working to free her brother Bruno from prison, and later track down the fence (Sue Kiel) he sold the pocket watch to (unaware of the hidden information inside). However, after finally retrieving the watch, MacGyver finds himself pulled in to getting Jana and all of her family out of Budapest.
The Fun MacGyver moments include our hero retrieving a horse in the opening gambit, using homemade dynamite, a front loader barbed wire, and a lightbulb sandwich to stage the prison break, using a credit card to control streetlights, and making use of balloons and racing cars to stage the escape from Budapest into Austria (with the episode reusing footage from 1969's The Italian Job for the chase sequence). While some of the scenes are a little shaky (including attempting to film shots to make the chase sequences work), the episode still delivers plenty of MacGyver thinking on his feet and finding a way out of every situation.
