1985 saw "My Wicked, Wicked Ways: The Legend of Errol Flynn" based on his later period autobiography. There have been multiple biopics of Flynn over the years. Even after his early death in 1959 at the age of 50, the stories of Flynn continued to flourish in both rumor mills and with the success of his films on television and revivals. While some were confirmed others were of speculation or outright exaggerated or random rumors made by the tabloids. From his relationships with various people in the industry, drunken rages, fistfights, rape allegations, throwing a woman down a stairwell on a film set, rumored connections to Nazis and the Japanese in WWII, and much more. During his time in the limelight he was always at the center of controversy and rumors. But how much of it was true and how much of it was fiction or exaggeration? That may never be fully known. In 1937 Flynn published an autobiography entitled "Beam Ends" which chronicled some of his adventures in the jungles, in the seas, in various brawls and near death experiences that shaped his career as an action star.
Long before he was a leading action star in Hollywood with films such as "Captain Blood" (1935) and "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938), the Tazmania born Errol Flynn was an adventurer making a living between Papua New Guinea and Sydney. But from fights, brawls, and other mishaps galore, getting there is more than just a battle. A wanderer always in the middle of dangerous happenings, Flynn sets out on an adventure with his friends Rex (played by Corey Large) and Dook (played by William Moseley) by stealing a boat to sail back to New Guinea in search of mysterious gold. Taking place in 1930, Errol Flynn (played by Thomas Cocquerel) is guiding a group of American film producers deep in the jungles of New Guinea when they are brutally attacked and barely able to escape from the natives and their deadly traps.
