Can anyone name this movie?

After reading this thread - http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=19533



I thought of a film I saw years ago, which I've never been able to remember the name of.


I think it was probably a TV movie rather than a proper movie. May possibly have been a pilot for a TV show which never got made.


All I can remember is.....


The main character had some sort of accident, which gave him super-intelligence whenever he was exposed to sunlight.


My memory of it is vague, so I doubt the "info" above would help much.


EDIT: Hmm, may have been starlight rather than sunlight. I'm sure I remember the finale being in an observatory or something similar.

I remember liking the film when I saw it, but it can't have been that good if I have such little recollection. When you think about it, the premise sounds like a load of crap anyway, so no wonder it didn't get any further than a TV movie / pilot.

Can you remember any members of the cast please?

I'm sure I've seen this...

Didn't his head go all lumpy and his brain start to overheat when he was being really clever?

Heat Vision and Jack, was a very short run american series staring jack black??

this could be some old Sci-Fi film i'ev seen that i don't know the title of.

The guy was in a rocket and hot blinded by some star or something.

When he came back to Earth he could make his eyes go different colours to get better vision or hearing etc.

He could even make them go red for even better vision and powers but this could kill him.. He had to do this at the end of the film to save someone and ended up killing himself

I remember the series, can't remember what it was called though. He had to wear sunglasses all the time, because exposing his eyes to the sun brought on his powers but could also kill him.

Can you remember any of the names of the actors or characters? Were the actors oriental and did it have sub-titles?

The more I hear of this, the more it sounds like a quality series/movie. Not...

It was American, all English speaking, but I can't remember who anyone was. I can only remember one scene from the entire thing, which was the guy with the irradiated eyes taking off his glasses to inspect the scene of an accident and saying that he was going to 'do some forensics'. Funny how your brain holds on to random snippets of useless memory like that ...

Here's a link to a site that does Sci-fi videos and reviews.See if the titles mean anything to you. The reviews section does the plot for each video.

Hope this helps.

Well, I'm glad I wasn't imagining remembering this!


Still can't think of who was in it, or what it was called, though.
