The Tomorrow Man (1996)
not a bad wee movie!
Although suffering from a few "Terminator" plot similarities this movie-(TV series pilot?) is pretty watchable and not typical of the usual made for TV dross.Pity it wasn't made into what was obviously an attempt as a pilot for a series,I think it would have had the "legs" to make at least a few good episodes.Quite enjoyable and not the usual "aliens and monsters" B movie or Aircraft suspense junk.A few glitches in the continuity,The aircraft boarded changed in mid flight from a Lockheed L1011 Tristar to a Boeing 747b!-good trick that!, and perhaps the "rocket engine test" shouldn't have shown the tail and base of the shuttle Colombia?-not evident on the test pad!Otherwise one of the better efforts as a TV movie.
Sunday Premiere: Across the Lake (1988)
Fair wee movie-excellent lead man!
Fair wee movie,in response to other viewers comments- Bluebird K7-(the real one) was many different shades of blue during it's life and quite a few shapes as well!starting off in 1955 as a "smooth" design and ending up due to various upgrades and rebuilds with the Tailfin from a Folland Gnat jet fighter grafted on the rear and vastly different cockpit and front end- basically a work in progress.The replica K7 used in the movie is now housed in a museum in the Lake district.As for the movie-I agree that for some strange reason it was never released in the Uk and the only copies available are normally poor third generation copies on auction sites- pity,after all it's about one of the last British Heroes-Donald Campbell.All in all the movie is a fair account of Campbells life and the lead up to the events on 4th January.Perhaps a sequel may be made when the real K7 is finished being restored-if we get the funding!incidentially the replica used in the movie is a lot smaller than the real k7 and is displayed at a museum in Coniston.
