I feel like there were tons of movie related options had they gone back that direction. Easily a whole season’s worth of action hero stunts they could break down.
Just one episode could be on Commando. Schwarzenegger ripping the seat out of a car, or killing a guy with a thrown saw blade, or impaling another guy with a thrown pipe. Would be interesting to have seen them figure out the actual force requirements.
Or carrying a tree on his shoulder. Arnold had to bust that one himself; the filmmakers thought that he could do it for real but Schwarzenegger insisted that he wasn’t that strong and had them make a prop for him instead.
They could do years on Sci Fi tech, bringing down to what’s real, what’s possible. Didn’t they do a light saber at one point?
I’m watching the series Salvation and it is full of “advanced tech” that resembles reality somewhat. Imagine Mythbusters building the biggest rail gun they can, demonstrating both its potential and how it fails, and maybe even do a tour of military rail gun prototypes, then concluding with how much more the one in the show would have to be, and all the places it just wouldn’t work

A thrown pipe through a chainmail vest, through a dude, and out the other side. We gotta be historically accurate
Oh yeah. And into the boiler behind him right?

The movie ones are the most boring.
