Rocket man

[pyeth]

apart from Disney and the TV series with Robson Green in, who was in the other film called Rocket Man? I think it was set in the 20s and the main character was an engineer and developed a rocket backpack then by accident became a "superhero" with his rocketpack and red uniform. I had it on video years ago but lent it never got it back and would like to get it on region 0 or 2 (preferably) DVD

no, your thinking of The Rocketeer. See here - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102803/

Rocket Man is a comedy about a geek.

...The character in The Rocketeer is "Cliff Secord" played by Bill Campbell.

Then there was "king of the rocket men" - not what you were after I know, but I should imagine this was the inspiration for the film.

Just as a postscript , the Rocketeer is virtually unknown but one of the most charming and entertaining films out. It has all the humour and action of Indiana Jones and looks fabulous - the 30's never looked Better

Plus it has a completely Barking turn by Tim Dalton as Errol , oops , NOT Errol Flynn at all . A-Hem
