Wow, blast from the past, I remember this specific scene but couldn't remember the movie, I kept telling people its the movie where a car is jumping another car from the front, but nobody remembers. lol well I can finally say I am not totally crazy. :P
As a 12-year-old, watching this film sparked a dream of owning a black 911, 19 years later I finally bought my first ..22 years after, I still have that car :-)
I'm similar, after seeing this film when I was 8 I always wanted condormans car. Dispite not knowing what car it was. But about 6 years later I brought a cool looking kitcar that was sitting on a farm, hadn't seen the film for years so I didn't realise (even though its yellow) until me and my brother were watching this scene that Christmas. Strangely this was 22 years ago and I also still have the car
@@Starry_Night_Sky7455 That's not a 911, it's a replica of the very rare (even then) 935. I say it's a replica because not even Disney would maltreat a 935 like that just for a movie. It's certainly a kit car, as are all the 911s that they crashed.
Whoever was in charge of the tech props was spot on - Apple touch tile and app interface, and center console Tesla tech. Early visionary, maybe Steve Jobs & Elon also watched this.

For car fans: Morovich drives a 1969 Porsche 935 'Flatnose'! The others drive Porsche 911 Turbo (930)! Woody drives a converted 'Nova Sterling'! The trucks are 1969 MAN 'Hauber'!
@mipmipmipmipmip If you watch closely you can easily tell it's not a real 935 just a standard 911 with a body kit, that's movie magic for you. Managed to work that one out when I was 10 wearing the VHS tape out repeatedly watching it in slow motion lol
@@karlx19 The Movie came out in '81. Porsche 911's were all over europe and easy to aquire cheap. I'm sure the 935 was probably a track racer modified for the film.
Every time I Google this or comes up in a discussion, what comes back is that it’s a 1969 911 (front and rear window surrounds are chrome not black) with a 935 slant nose body kit.
The 'Nova Sterling' is now 'Aerotec Nova' who has held the licence for the cast of the body work. I drove one myself, with a VW Beetle engine. Really bad car, no leg room, no visibility front, side or rear, no power and awful handling. Those black cars are kits too as the end shots show those were fibreglass bodywork, not sheet metal.
The 930 turbo flat nose driven by the boss was my favourite. I'd say you'd have to sell a kidney to afford one these days, but they're that rare, a kidney would probably just about buy the wheels 🤣
Exactly me too! The part where they pull into the village and the henchman causes the villagers to close their blinds in fear really stuck with me. Apparently debate "rages" to this day over whether the lead bad guy was in a real 935 or a body-kitted 911.
Watched this film the night after I split my head open jumping a Raleigh Strika off the prom onto the beach. Two things always struck me as pure class in this chase. 1, at a time when Bond baddies were fooling around in Ford Cortinas, this movie managed to source half a dozen 911s, and one a flatnose special. 2, the actor, Michael Crawford was very famous in the UK for playing a comedy character called Frank Spencer. In this chase where, the stunt driver drives the Condormobile between the log truck wheels, Michael Crawford did the exact same stunt himself, on roller skates, as Frank Spencer. Awesome work all around. Love this movie.
If you find one of the last episode done as frank spensor - he has a motor cycle - all the stunts are real and performed by Michael himself, you would not think he was a first class motor cycle rider and stuntman - it includes siting sideways, backwards, on the handlebars and operating all the controls as needed - all while acting the fool
As Frank Spencer he risked more than a bumper on those bollards! As you say, the stunt car work weaving the cars between and under the trucks was so much better than modern Star Wars CGI.
They even managed to snag Barbara Carrera. She was one of the Bond girls from "Never say never again." I loved those slant nose Porsches. They are rare today and a real one would probably fetch a decent amount of money.
@@matthewcaughey8898 in which bond actually relieved but somewhat earlier frustrated quips "not perfected yet". Barbara Carrera was casted perfectly as Fatima Blush
Awww, I was hoping to see the part afterwards where the villain explained to his boss how the KGB's best pursuit squadron couldn't catch a rickety old truck. And, I'm paraphrasing here... "But, sir! The truck turned into a race car! And then the car... the car, it turned into a BOAT!".
Don't forget how many Porsches gave their lives in the making of 1 chase scene. LOL. The repair guys were working over time trying to get just 1 of them to drive a couple hours on set, let lone do stunts. 🤪

Love it. Love it. Love it. I wore the VHS Tape away back in the day growing up. Sat my kids down to educate them about great films. They gave up after about 10 mins! This film was everything good about that era of films. Location. Cars. Easy to follow plot. Comedy. Action. Try to think of another underrated movie that just goes under peoples radar. Condorman would be on that list - a must see!
I remember watching this on TV when I was less than 5, never forgot about two scenes on this movie, the flying from the tower at beginning and this car chase... I didn't knew the name of this movie, it bugged me for years... but now after 10+ years trying to figure out I can now enjoy this again! thanks.
Exactly as me, I remember watching this movie as a small child in the 80s!, and all I remember was the scene where the yellow car appears below the old car and a flying man in a red suit! and the name of the movie as birdman, that's was why I was unable to find the movie until today, I was looking for this movie for years!.
@Patrick Swayze Yeah, it was such a great relief when I've finally found out. I've always think it was some 80's james bond due to the nature of the movie, and I even tried watch them one by one, but to no success. hahaha
Nice to see so many people with the exact same memories as me of this film. I used to watch this sequence over and over again on VHS. I wanted to be Morovich! And Barbara Carrera is hot AF obvs!!

Ahhhh, childhood memories. I loved this film as a kid, especially the flat nose 911 Turbo and Barbara Carrera, I used to think she was the most beautiful woman in the world… along with Stephanie Powers 😅
I saw this in the cinema with my brother and both my uncle and his wife when it came out in the cinema more than 40 years ago . 2 scenes including the truck descending seats into the sports car and the moment the hero opened up his wing suit to become condorman .Its been this long ago huh. Thanks 3rd uncle rest in peace wherever you are.
Such an awesome and underrated movie. The yellow "Condor" car used in that movie was actually a kitcar called a Nova that was usually put on an old VW Beetle chassis (I believe in the US they often used a Fiero chassis). I owned two of those kitcars back in the day. One was from the UK where the guys had the original molds and were pulling these kits out in a shed (so the quality of the fiberglass layers wasn't too great) while the other was from a company in the US which made a modified version called the Nova Sterling (that one also had solid flip-up headlight covers like we see in Condorman). I believe only 7 or so Sterlings were made before the company went under though. Ofcourse the one depicted here in the movie had some additional modifications; most notably the rear section as the Nova didn't have those jet-trusters or anything. There was also a Nova kitcar used in one of the Cannonball movies. You'll know it when the entire roof section opens and closes as that was the main feature of the car. 🙂
I loved this movie when I was a kid in the mid 1980s. I actually just loved this car chase scene. Must have scratched the VHS tape after rewinding it 30 times! 😁
Wow this clip brings back a memory. Baskin Robbins 31 flavors had a limited edition flavor called "Condor Man Crunch " and when you ordered a scoop you got a free promotional movie poster. I had one on my bedroom wall. Wow!
Conder Crunch - An ice cream flavor sold by Baskin & Robins in conjunction with the movie, along with some sort of poster giveaway, IIRC. Also: Bet the Disney prop department really enjoyed making all those VW Beetle-based Porsche replicas...!
Either they didnt know back then to parley this into a 10+ movie installment franchise (like Fast & Furious)... or back then people had lives to the point they weren't bored enough to wanna watch 10+ sequels to a movie.

i have a feeling some of the 007 crew worked on this :) I think (in the uk), Michael Crawford was too well known for Some Mothers Do 'ave 'em. To then be cast as a lead/hero character in an action movie. But as a kid i loved it too :) And Crawford was famous for doing his own stunts.
Wow... Frank Spencer grew a pair! 👍🇬🇧 Damn, I have never even heard of this? If you had said this had happened I would never had believed it! I have to find this now.
Remember seeing this film as a kid on TV and my dad was "Oh - It's Condorman" - counldn't understand he knew about a super hero I'd never heard of... Years later, while watching this clip, it dawns on me that I was born the year this film was made and he'd probably seen it at the cinema 🤣😂 And just realising now that it starred "Frank Spencer" ("Some mother's do 'ave 'em" was actually one of my favourite shows as a kid) 🤣

I remember seeing this movie as a kid somewhere in the 80s. All cars I drew from there looked like a cross between Condormans Car, KITT and the Coyote from Hardcastle and McCormick
Bad guys always drive german cars 😆 I really loved that movie as a kid. Never forget the car chase scene and the great soundtrack. Thanks for bringing back the memories 👍🏽😊
I saw this movie in it's theatrical release here in Chile with my father. It blew my mind and it deserve a full restoration and a 4K release. Disney should license it to Arrow Video so we could have a fancy 4K like the one they gave to "Dune" or "True Romance".
It is not implausible that the leader could drive his 935 on such bumpy grass. The Porsche 959 had AWD with an adjustable suspension and was successful as a rally car for several years so maybe his 935 was built with similar equipment. I would not be surprised if Porsche had a working 935 AWD prototype or two sitting around...
This used to be one of my favorite movies. I played it for my father one of the times he came to visit us in the late 80's. He laughed hysterically through out the movie.
Driving stunts coordinated by Remi Julliene which is unusual for a Disney movie. It's possible he was used simply because those scenes were shot in Europe.
I was trying to remember what this film was only a few days ago, then up this pops in my feed! Brings back so many memories especially the car coming out of the truck like that. Must try and find the film to watch it all again...
A forgotten gem. Forgotten in part, from a British perspective, in that Michael Crawford had become so indelibly associated with a decidedly non-hero role (to the point where he could barely leave his flat) in the UK that it was difficult for many to realise what a profoundly good actor he is.
My brother and I wore out the VHS as kids!!! One day the tape broke. My dad worked for Disney when we were little and would rent the actual 35mm reals of movies and project them on a screen in the front yard. He couldn’t play Condorman because it required a special lens on the projector. To this day, it’s still one of my favorite movies from my childhood.
Casually playing 35mm in the backyard? 6-8 reels, 20 minute each for a complete movie, on a giant projector, with deadly voltage bulb, etc. I'm skeptical but rock on.
The boats were custom made at the Chris Craft factory for the film and flown to Monte Carlo on a Cargo 747 at the last minute. The stunt drivers for the boats only had 24 hours to practice driving them before they were destroyed on camera. The entire boat chase was filmed in a single afternoon.
Barbara Carrera never looked better than she did in this movie. Not even in NSNA (which was not an official Bond movie) Love this film. Rest of my family hate it along with Disney's other epic The Black Hole. Have to watc them on my own.
I'm stunned. I have vague memories of this movie but I could never figure out what movie it was that I saw. I randomly run across it in my UA-cam suggestions in 2023? What?!
Disney probably won’t release this film on Disney+ anytime soon. This movie is old enough that the original print is either decayed or lost in the film vault. That and the music rights weren’t updated for streaming.
In between playing Frank Spencer and Andrew Lloyd Webbers Phantom of the Opera, Michael Crawford plays an American spy. With Oliver Reed as the bad guy and Barbara Carrera who went on to be in the unofficial Bond movie Never Say Never again.
Was 4 y.o. in Congo watching that on VHS with my Bro ... i was exited to play it again and again ... nowadays it seems ridiculous those effects but was great that time ! 80's 90's the best !
Fun Fact: the driving stunts were done by the legendary French stunt driver Remy Julienne and his team.

I just said it automatically 😂

I used to LOVE this movie as a kid! Managed to get it on dvd god it made me feel like I was 6 years old again! Thanks for uploading
I loved this movie when I was a kid in the mid 1980s. I actually just loved this car chase scene. Must have scratched the VHS tape after rewinding it 30 times! 😁
Wow this clip brings back a memory. Baskin Robbins 31 flavors had a limited edition flavor called "Condor Man Crunch " and when you ordered a scoop you got a free promotional movie poster. I had one on my bedroom wall. Wow!
LOVED this Movie.
Conder Crunch - An ice cream flavor sold by Baskin & Robins in conjunction with the movie, along with some sort of poster giveaway, IIRC.
Also: Bet the Disney prop department really enjoyed making all those VW Beetle-based Porsche replicas...!
Condor Crunch, huh? What were the ingredients of this flavor?
To think, that guy became the Phantom Of The Opera..
Always think of him as Frank Spencer
Either they didnt know back then to parley this into a 10+ movie installment franchise (like Fast & Furious)... or back then people had lives to the point they weren't bored enough to wanna watch 10+ sequels to a movie.
I'm so glad Disney has not done a remake of this film, it's such a gem 💎 that it's not even in the radar of Disney and not even in Disney+
Don't give them any ideas , they will remake it just to insert lgbtqfjb content .
@@jason9035 Jeez!! 😖😖 I think you're right, Jason. Disney is now run by evil people.
@@jason9035 I love gammon and eggs

Why that's just fine and dandy , now why don't you go grab yourself a bowl of steel cut oatmeal with a tall glass of Orange juice and you'll have a nice well rounded breakfast .
Now what all that has to do with the initial posters comment or my initial reply is anyone's guess .
Perhaps you can reply with what you plan on having for lunch, perhaps a hamburger, or a pastrami sandwich, who knows ?
Please keep us updated as to what food you like , we are all on pins and needles , the suspense is almost to much to bear.
@@jason9035 He was using a poorly veiled insult towards you. "Gammon" is a political U.K insult used to describe an angry, white hetrosexual male with "right wing" views that merely speaks their mind and gets classed as a racist, bigot, sexist and what have you.
i have a feeling some of the 007 crew worked on this :)
I think (in the uk), Michael Crawford was too well known for Some Mothers Do 'ave 'em. To then be cast as a lead/hero character in an action movie. But as a kid i loved it too :)
And Crawford was famous for doing his own stunts.
And here I’ve been all these decades thinking I was the only one who remembered this turkey… Condor.
There's so much wrong with this, that it makes it awesome !!
Wow... Frank Spencer grew a pair! 👍🇬🇧
Damn, I have never even heard of this? If you had said this had happened I would never had believed it! I have to find this now.
One of the best movie of my childhood
I'm 46 now... I think I forced my dad to take me to see this three times in the early 80s
Only 3 times?
Fantastic! My favorite movie as a kid. Natalya is gorgeous.
Remember seeing this film as a kid on TV and my dad was "Oh - It's Condorman" - counldn't understand he knew about a super hero I'd never heard of... Years later, while watching this clip, it dawns on me that I was born the year this film was made and he'd probably seen it at the cinema 🤣😂 And just realising now that it starred "Frank Spencer" ("Some mother's do 'ave 'em" was actually one of my favourite shows as a kid) 🤣
Was today year's old when that penny dropped 🤣
I was born in '86 and used to watch this with my dad about 10 times a weekend haha.
@@stephenhill5131 Yeah - cheesy, but good :D
Yeah, it’s amazing that Frank Spencer and Condorman are one and the same. 😂
CHRISTIANITY VS BIBLE & ISLAM
ISLAM & THE BIBLE, AGREE WITH THE F0LL0WING
Jesus Could only perform miracles with god's permission ( Acts 2:22 )
0nly 0ne God ( Mark 12 : 29 - 31 )
Jesus was a human, not God ( Numbers 23 : 19 )
Jesus was a great Prophet of God ( 1 Timothy 2:5 )
No one can see God, and this proves Jesus is not God ( 1 John 4:20 - John 5:37 )
Only God knows the future & Jesus does not know the future, which proves Jesus is not God ( Mark 13:32 )
The biggest joke ever is 👉🏻 The bible EXP0SES CHRISTIANITY 🤦♂️
Also the Phantom of the Opera
I remember seeing this movie as a kid somewhere in the 80s. All cars I drew from there looked like a cross between Condormans Car, KITT and the Coyote from Hardcastle and McCormick
Bad guys always drive german cars 😆
I really loved that movie as a kid. Never forget the car chase scene and the great soundtrack. Thanks for bringing back the memories 👍🏽😊
Are you sure they don't also drive Toyota Camry's haha
The main bad guy in the film had a Rolls Royce.
Definitely true during WW2.
Remember that weird sci-fi action film, where aliens stole Porsche's and caused mayhem?
I saw this movie in it's theatrical release here in Chile with my father. It blew my mind and it deserve a full restoration and a 4K release. Disney should license it to Arrow Video so we could have a fancy 4K like the one they gave to "Dune" or "True Romance".
Those black 911s were beautiful ❤️ great movie scene
It is not implausible that the leader could drive his 935 on such bumpy grass. The Porsche 959 had AWD with an adjustable suspension and was successful as a rally car for several years so maybe his 935 was built with similar equipment. I would not be surprised if Porsche had a working 935 AWD prototype or two sitting around...
Condorman is a serious mouth breather.
Best scene hands down. Also, I always loved at 4:25 how the bumper gets ripped off and then it's back on the Porsche in the next shot. Classic.
Some pretty impressive stunt driving actually! That slant nose is bad ass looking!
I very much remember as a 6 year old... my father with his hands on his head yelling at the screen "Oh no, those poor Porches!!!"
Yep, it's bittersweet! A man of taste.
Oliver Reed was outstanding there!
Now THIS needs to be the next Disney + series....
(still one of my all-time favorite movies)
This used to be one of my favorite movies. I played it for my father one of the times he came to visit us in the late 80's. He laughed hysterically through out the movie.
I love this underappreciated movie to no ends. Watched it on repeat as a kid and my dad even made me a pair of cardboard condor wings
I find it hard to stop saying hmmmm betty In my head 😂
Driving stunts coordinated by Remi Julliene which is unusual for a Disney movie. It's possible he was used simply because those scenes were shot in Europe.
I was trying to remember what this film was only a few days ago, then up this pops in my feed! Brings back so many memories especially the car coming out of the truck like that. Must try and find the film to watch it all again...
A forgotten gem. Forgotten in part, from a British perspective, in that Michael Crawford had become so indelibly associated with a decidedly non-hero role (to the point where he could barely leave his flat) in the UK that it was difficult for many to realise what a profoundly good actor he is.
But then he went on to become Barnum and the Phantom of the Opera.
My brother and I wore out the VHS as kids!!! One day the tape broke. My dad worked for Disney when we were little and would rent the actual 35mm reals of movies and project them on a screen in the front yard. He couldn’t play Condorman because it required a special lens on the projector. To this day, it’s still one of my favorite movies from my childhood.
I'm hoping that now you have this on DVD, and maybe have several backup copies. It needs to be preserved.
Casually playing 35mm in the backyard? 6-8 reels, 20 minute each for a complete movie, on a giant projector, with deadly voltage bulb, etc. I'm skeptical but rock on.
The only thing that topped the car chase was the speed boat chase in the finale.
to me the boat chase goes on a little too long. the car chase is perfect.
The boats were custom made at the Chris Craft factory for the film and flown to Monte Carlo on a Cargo 747 at the last minute. The stunt drivers for the boats only had 24 hours to practice driving them before they were destroyed on camera. The entire boat chase was filmed in a single afternoon.
what the....! FRANK SPENCER??!?!? how did i miss this??!?
Saw this in the theater when I was 12. Was already a huge Oliver Reed fan and loved the idea of a comic book writer assuming his creations persona.
J avais 7 ans, super souvenir, ce film m'a fait rêver. 😊
Porsches are just so explosive
Wrin chef stuff never exosdibced
@@sharonbraselton3135 are you OK?
Those Porches look awesome. Just needed wider wheels to fill the dodgy body kit though.
Thanks for sharing
At 4:26 the 911 smashes it’s front spoiler off
One of my all time favorite films. Loved this movie as a kid.
Barbara Carrera never looked better than she did in this movie. Not even in NSNA (which was not an official Bond movie)
Love this film. Rest of my family hate it along with Disney's other epic The Black Hole. Have to watc them on my own.
Just the clip... and remember being a child and liking the music a lot. Cheesy movie... but so likeable.
This was back when Disney was trying out a lot of new things. Night Crossing came out the same year and also Dragon Slayer.
I'm stunned.
I have vague memories of this movie but I could never figure out what movie it was that I saw.
I randomly run across it in my UA-cam suggestions in 2023? What?!
this is what should be on Disney
Disney probably won’t release this film on Disney+ anytime soon. This movie is old enough that the original print is either decayed or lost in the film vault. That and the music rights weren’t updated for streaming.
Barbara Carrera Was Beautiful back in This Movie Like a Doll 😘😘 Gonna Look For This Movie to Watch It Completely BTW Nice Clip 😁
Is that frank Spencer!!!!
Yes it is
In between playing Frank Spencer and Andrew Lloyd Webbers Phantom of the Opera, Michael Crawford plays an American spy. With Oliver Reed as the bad guy and Barbara Carrera who went on to be in the unofficial Bond movie Never Say Never again.
Some mothers do have em.
Was 4 y.o. in Congo watching that on VHS with my Bro ... i was exited to play it again and again ... nowadays it seems ridiculous those effects but was great that time ! 80's 90's the best !
Just wish I could watch this on Disney Plus :(
Best movie car chase EVER!!!!!!! at least for me. God, I love the soundtrack!
