this was made into a very good movie, the 'ghosts in the darkness' was the title i think.







Kenya wants Tsavo man-eaters back







Col Patterson hunted down the Tsavo man-eaters in 1898Kenya is trying to recover the remains of two infamous lions which killed 140 railway workers in the 19th Century.
They are the legendary man-eaters of Tsavo who caused havoc among the Indian labourers who built the railway line between Mombasa and Lake Victoria.
The lions' skulls and hides are housed at a museum in the US city of Chicago.
But Kenya's National Museum says they represent an important part of Kenya's history and heritage - and it wants them back.
The two lions struck over a nine-month period in 1898, bringing construction of the line to a halt.
An Oscar-winning film was made about the Tsavo man-eaters in 1996.
They were eventually shot by a British engineer, Lieutenant Colonel John Patterson, who later sold the skulls and hides to the Chicago Field Museum.
A spokeswoman for the state-owned National Museum of Kenya (NMK), Connie Maina, said: "We will use international protocols to repatriate them... it would be good to get them back."
Ms Maina said the NMK was planning an exhibition of its artefacts in the United States and would ensure the lions' remains were part of the exhibition on Kenyan history.
"We hope these artefacts will form part of these exhibitions," she said.
Officials said the Chicago Field Museum might host part of the exhibition.

The movie was The Ghost and the Darkness and starred Val Kilmer as John Patterson.  It was a great movie!  The lions he killed can be seen at the museum in Chicago.  Apparently, they are/were freakishly huge.

I like that film, even the presence of Val Kilmer can't spoil it.

Its really good, it was a financial flop with a $55 million budget, but it is definately worth checking out.

Stephen Hopkins is a good director, I actually liked Predator 2.

thanks for correct title....i caught it on cable a few years ago, i think i'll go to amazon and purchase it.

the story was unknown to me before i saw it, how horrifying to be asleep in your tent and be dragged off in the bush and eaten by a lion. or even working in broad daylight. the lions were relentless and unafraid.

I don't know, if I had a choice to be eaten by a lion or a crocodile, I think a croc, lions like to nibble on live things slowly playing with their food.

I never made it to Blockbuster, was out with the family too much and after dinner I was too full to think about it. I have errands tomorrow, I will try then. :)
