Medicine Man / Sean Connery - I'm MORE confused.

[Alan Castillo]

Last night I watched an oldie but goodie, The Medicine Man / Last days of Eden (Sean Connery).

I had seen it several times, but years and years ago.

I would have bet anything whatsoever that in the movie, Sean Connery dies at the hands of the lumberers, and the formula for the cure for cancer is taken by his assistant to be developed / perfected / given to the world at the end of the movie.

It is obvious that I am confusing the last part of the plot with another movie on the same lines, ie forest / chemicals / cure for something / important formula for the good of humanity / hero dies / assistant continues work etc.

Can anyone name a movie on the above lines ?

I have been thinking and thinking and thinking, but my mind is blank.

The Omega Man with Charlton Heston maybe?

No Michael & DG.

Much more modern.

But thanks for chiming in

I just got a very small flash in my head !!!

It's something to do with limitless free energy or something (and no, its not 'The Saint').

Huh, that "chain reaction" flic with Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman, maybe? I´ve never seen it but I do remember it´s about a new source of energy.

Hmm, it could be Chain Reaction ! I have it somewhere. Must dig it out to watch tonight.

Thanks Michael.

The Formula with George C Scott and Marlon Brando touched on similar themes.

..... I still can't get a forest in there somewhere out of my head though. Don't think Chain Reaction had anything of the sort. The 'professor' lived on an island off NYC or something, if I recall correctly.

Mosquito Coast?? More of a tropical setting, but the main character dies at the end.

Harrison Ford has been quoted as eating his character in the Mosquito Coast (Misanthropic genius Allie Fox) I'd the closest to him in real life.

Nope, not mosquito coast either.

Chain Reaction has a forest scene as well...

The more I think about it, the more confused I get. I just can't place the movie. I'm beginning to think I made it up in my head, but I I'm so sure, its uncanny.

OT

I wanted to watch Chain Reaction last night, and lo & behold, I can't find the DVD.

Chalk yet another missing DVD down to our eldest making off with them over the years to friends' houses etc :angry

I swear, one of these days I'm going to present him with a bill & invoice him for the lot.

Well, actually, I will do it with my eldest (son), & middle (daughter). Can't 'blame' him for stuff like 'Bridget's Jones Diary' going AWAL.

Over the years, I must have around 30 missing DVDs. It makes me FURIOUS every time it happens. Want to watch something, and its gone.

Ordered it from play now & have to wait to watch it.

Sorry for the rant, but that really p***s me off, lack of respect for property.

I also remember that a movie that was similar out at about the same time if not the very same year. I cannot remember the name of it right now though.
It has not been named so far.
Now I need to go looking for it.
It did not do well in the box office and don't remember seeing it on video.

You are not crazy.

Here's hoping you find it mobius :thumbsup

No, it's OBVIOUSLY The Bridges of Madison County.


That or Steel Magnolias.
