Ah, few know of the joys of Condorman. I, too, have a special place in my heart for this movie, seeing it in the theaters, alone while my mother did the weekly grocery shopping, in the summer of 1981...
I remember when this was out in the cinema (I was young). Everyone loved it. It was the talk of school. I'm not that sure why some people are so down on it. It was fun.
I remember seeing this when it came out, loads of junior school kids including myself loved it, as it was a kids styled film. I'm glad I own it on dvd . My kids found it fun to watch as well.
Joel, you've totally nailed this review. I saw this at the flicks back in 1981 having been a big fan of Michael Crawford's Frank Spencer character since being a young child in the UK in the 70's. Have just visited a friend this weekend (who is also a Frank Spencer fan) and gave him the dvd as a present for him and his young family. Was shocked to find that he hadn't seen Condorman before! Are they in for a Sunday afternoon family treat, or what?! (They just don't make films like this any more!)
Paul Magee Tron and Wargames double feature.... Not saying it "beats" anything.... But as a young kid who used microbee pc's and 2400bps modems, it was bloody awesome....
I never saw this as a kid, but I was a huge fan of Darkwing Duck and now we have Big Hero 6 to be this generation's Condorman. I guess Disney has a thing for superheroes.
I watched this at the cinema with my Sunday School. At the time in the UK Michael Crawford was a huge star from the sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. I grew up with his pratfalls, and it was thrilling to see basically the same character in a James Bond/Batman style spoof. This was many years before Austin Powers and Johnny English. I never understood why it was a box office bomb. The critics were very sniffy about it, but I am surprised it didn't get an audience beyond the critics. Like you say it's a very enjoyable film - probably more so for kids.
Brilliant review. The reason Disney is what they are today seems knitted into this gem of a film. When this movie came out in theaters i remember how instantly i wanted to embrace the film due the preview and poster. It may not have generated a huge summertime revenue but i still think it won over viewers just like yourself.
Solid work on this review. I agree with everything said here. I just tonight re-watched _Condorman_ to share it with a friend who hadn't seen it, and... it holds up. I still love it.
Damn, this video should be in the dictionary for hitting the nail on the head. You couldn't have been more eloquent and truthful to the tone of the film. This is your first video I'm watching and I'm incredibly impressed with your work. You need to be hired ASAP by someone in this field. PLEASE Lord let there be a reboot, but please don't et them destroy this film by making it suck. Wll share this video everywhere.
Great review! I introduced this film to my girlfriend recently, and she enjoyed it. I think this movie deserves an update in a TRON Legacy style, where it passes the torch and sets new parameters without having to alter the original. This film never gets enough respect. I've used the "If you bring the dip..." line since 1982, and people still give me weird looks lol.
Well done review, sir. Very thoughtful. I loved the nod to the neon Mickey. My sister and I bugged our mom to rent this movie as often as possible, and then we'd spend all Saturday afternoon watching and re-watching it. At the same time, I was going through a phase where I recorded all sorts of things on my tape recorder, and would play the audio back in my room, 30 minutes at a time. It always cut out in the middle of the boat battle at the end, but I didn't care. Nostalgia indeed!
What I like about Condorman is it has Levels - kinda like Ghostbusters - it's played straight but it's actually kinda amusing in some strange ways - it's actually more amusing when it's not trying to be funny. the things that made me smile are the things like when those Porsche's avoid the rear cannons on his car. as it's so unexpected. Doesn't hurt when your car is one of the most attractive Ferraris of the era and the main enemy Porsche is a rarely seen 935 (same as the Transformer Jazz) . His flight harness though a bit clunky and with some bad blue screen is at least conceptually believable to some degree. I enjoy the heck out of this Movie flaws and all.
I wasn't even hoping for a trailer of this movie.. And I Found a review of it! And a good one, btw. Great job. +1sub. Gotta have a look at your others video.
WOW‼️ I’m glad someone likes this movie as much as I do. I remember seeing it when I was a kid and was blown away! The music the gadgets were phenomenal! But your breakdown of it really gave the movie depth more than what I remember, and I saw it many many many times on video to the point of wearing the tape out🤣🤣 I haven’t seen it in years but after this I think I’ll give it a viewing. GREAT video‼️😎👍🏽
I loved this as a lad. My dad, who i havent seen for thirty odd years, once read me and my sister the novelisation as a bedtime story, perched on a stool on the landing equidistant between our bedrooms. I remember not having the heart to tell him that the girl was natalia rather than natalie! Though I was slightly annoyed cos I was a bit in love with the actress! Interestingly(or not) she actually did become a kind of bond girl afterwards, in never say never again!
Same as you saw this countless times as a kid, rewatched it in my 20's expecting to think it was shit, actually was surprised I thought it was (still) pretty damn good. It's tone is so much different to pretty much every other superhero movie ever made. No idea why it's not a cult classic.
Thanks for the great review Joel, this movie was a box office flop where almost every review for it was overly critical of it due to this; rather than seeing what everyone missed. Yet for some reason as a child through to an adult, I kept watching & enjoying it. It's not perfect, but it does have some great moment's that really stood out from other movies at the time. But the action was varied, well done & focused on area's that other action movies haven't done before. I never forget the car chase with the Nova Sterling Kit car, the Porsche 935 & it's 911 supporter's.
This film was released at the cinema at the same time as Raiders of the lost Ark. I was going to see it with a friend in London but at the last minute he suggested watching Raiders instead, as the poster looked really good. We spent the entire afternoon watching Raiders 3 times in a row, hiding under the seats from the cleaners in between showings so we didn't get kicked out, it was that awesome. Best cinema experience I've ever had. Never got to see Condorman. Never regretted it.
I originally watched this film because I was a fan of Michael Crawford, however as well as his performance, the film/story itself is really well made and creative - although you could argue the final half is a bit rushed. I will say also that it is not beyond comprehension that Natalia got sick of working for the KGB itself.
Brilliant work sir! I consider this "Genuine Seriousness About Silliness" which could be anything I've often talked about regarding bad movies that I love. Again, it is such a comfort knowing some fellow fans of later Disney Live Action films that many have either forgotten about, or never want to give a second glance. This review of Condorman was spot on! Everything you've said is what I would've expected to hear from a fan! You've now made me a subscriber sir! I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Speaking of Bond girls - Barbara Carrera later on really played one, named Fatima Blush, in Never Say Never Again (though some would rush to state that this is not a canon Bond movie). She was also known to say that Sean Connery looks "sexier without the hairpiece".
i love this movie, and parts of it still give me the chills, the scene where woody draws her always brings a tear to my eye the music is so haunting, and the build up to where you first see the condor car with the music ramping up gets my pulse pounding, they dont make them like this anymore
This movie came out when I was 4. My favorite scene was the car chase. I loved those Porsches, even though they were driven by the bad guys. Doesn't make the cars bad, does it? I also like the boat chase. I had to love the end, where Natalia (Barbara Carrera) finally made it to America. Great film. I'd like to see if I could find it on Amazon, maybe.
Well I never - it all makes sense now - I had no idea this movie was based on a novel by Robert Sheckley - what I was able to find of his stuff was always interesting dynamic quirky and often thought provoking so that is pretty interesting to know - thanks for making this video so I could learn that..
I bought a Nova kit car back in 1980 from a Kit car company based in yorkshire and i had parts off the car in this film. The car was based on a Ford GT40...
Condorman is better than bond and michael crawford is an absolute legend, everyone should check out his stunts in some mothers do ave em, especially the rollerskate scene.
The sequel bait ending would probably have hinted at the adventures continuing in the comics, kind of like when the "Beyond the Black Hole" series was published after the adaptation ended.
This was one of those movies that I sometimes wondered whether I actually saw it or just dreamed. It would be on TV once in a while, and I really liked it, but most people I talked to had never heard of. When I saw it I thought it had pretty elaborate production value for a one off, so I wondered if this was a franchise from yore that I just wasn't familiar with. But no, just turned out it was a Disney romp that lost money, so never got a sequel or cartoon spinoff. I wanted more once I saw it, but alas, this just sort of slipped into obscurity.
What a great review, well done. I saw this in the theatre at the time and then owned a kids novelisation which I read many times. Magus review has uninspired me to look the movie up again.
There was a Disney movie trailer that scared me as a kid. Think it was the late 70’s or early 80’s. Can’t remember the title but Betty Davis was in it and I remember some type of monster in the woods. Remember the trailer freaked me out, I think I was 5 or 6. Do you know the movie and can you do a review on it? Thinking back on it, I couldn’t understand why Disney would want to do a horror movie.
Another great review, and strangely enough I was discussing this film with some friends last night, which I haven't seen in ages. I would like to revisiting this one again, especially how I've rediscovering a lot of Disney's live action output of late. Plus, a fellow Godzilla / Kaiju fan I see?!?! :)
+MONGREL-STAR COMICS. I could go on forever, but some of the ones that spring to mind are Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Guns for San Sebastian (and just about everything else Morricone has done), The Omega Man, Brazil, Carl Davis's silent film work (Hollywood and The Thief of Bagdad, especially) and Macross: Do You Remember Love. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The Cinemologists Looks like I prefer the scores to popcorn movies, mine are Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Last Starfighter, Masters of the Universe and Krull. That's some interesting choices though. Condorman means a lot to me too, this is the first video of yours I've seen but I'm definitely going to check out your others.
MONGREL-STAR COMICS. Those are all excellent choices! I get so much joy out of Craig Safan's Last Starfighter soundtrack. It's one of my favorites too.
my favorite soundtrack maybe even more then condroman, though this is close, is black hole :> One of the most upbeat moving songs ever....and one of the most horrifying pants wettingly scary songs too :> Funny how a movie can have two so completly contrasting songs.
We had this on VHS and watched alot as well kids in our school talked about it alot as well but it never quite reached cult status till now, but even still its very neiche
J'ai vu ce film au cinéma avec un copain du pensionnat en 1981 ou 82? trop drôle et impressionnant!! J'avais 12 ans. Il faut le visionner, ça en vaut le coup, croyez moi!
Crazy, silly idea, but instead of a reboot Condorman can we get a sequel? Something written well enough to stand alone for those who haven't seen the original but which doesn't ignore the original or -heaven forbid- try to stuff 1981 world politics into 2018+?
Joel - this is an absolutely stonking review - well done!! Having filmed a few video reviews myself, I can appreciate the work you've put into this. On to the film- I watched it myself last night (brief review here: www.moviesloths.co.uk/condorman-1981) and really enjoyed it after last seeing it in the cinema 34 years ago! Eeek! You summed up the subjective and nostalgic nature of its appeal really well, and yet underneath I think the plot emanates from a pretty cool idea - getting wacky gadgets made facilitate your own spy story - nice work if you can get it! Anyway, keep up the good work - where can I find your own movies? Marc (aka The Hitman)
bro, i saw this on disney in like 81 or 82. it's one of my fondest childhood memories. I wanted to be a spy when i grew up to be just like my hero. my love of comics too. unfortuneately, my discovery of the evils of the US intelligence opparateus and how it visits cruelty on our own people made me decide be a different type of good guy. Jedi space wizard comes to mind. so i'm writing a movie now, the hero might die at the end but real heros know the risks and so do i.... btw totally read on John Dee and his 5 books of mystery. the end is near. LOL
Ah, few know of the joys of Condorman.
I, too, have a special place in my heart for this movie, seeing it in the theaters, alone while my mother did the weekly grocery shopping, in the summer of 1981...
Sat in the condor car when it was in Milton Keynes in 1981-2 was awesome then.
I remember when this was out in the cinema (I was young). Everyone loved it. It was the talk of school. I'm not that sure why some people are so down on it. It was fun.
@Karl...I saw it in the cinema. I was so embarrassed and disappointed by it. It was bad.
I remember seeing this when it came out, loads of junior school kids including myself loved it, as it was a kids styled film.
I'm glad I own it on dvd .
My kids found it fun to watch as well.
it holds up, it's a great film!
watched this movie when I was very little and I still love it
Same
I saw it when it came out in 1981, great chases at the end. I was eight years old at the time.

Don, you totaly nailed this comment
An absolute classic watch it and tron in VHS on the same night lol beat that!!

Yes, this movie was ahead of its time - spoofing superhero movies before they had even become the thing!
Brilliant review. The reason Disney is what they are today seems knitted into this gem of a film.

Duuuuuude..... the rotating neon Mickey!!!! I forgot about him. That's just instantly took me back to my childhood!

I think this movie deserves an update in a TRON Legacy style, where it passes the torch and sets new parameters without having to alter the original. This film never gets enough respect.

I enjoy the heck out of this Movie flaws and all.
You guys should review "The Devil & Max Devlin" since that was another edgy 1980s Disney film.
I wasn't even hoping for a trailer of this movie..
And I Found a review of it!
And a good one, btw.
Great job.
+1sub.
Gotta have a look at your others video.
WOW‼️ I’m glad someone likes this movie as much as I do. I remember seeing it when I was a kid and was blown away! The music the gadgets were phenomenal!

GREAT video‼️😎👍🏽
If Disney made a little Condorman figure for the INFINITY game....I'd totally get that.
never seen this movie, all i remember was kids at school laughing at the title thinking it said condom man!
I loved this as a lad. My dad, who i havent seen for thirty odd years, once read me and my sister the novelisation as a bedtime story, perched on a stool on the landing equidistant between our bedrooms. I remember not having the heart to tell him that the girl was natalia rather than natalie! Though I was slightly annoyed cos I was a bit in love with the actress!

Best cinema experience I've ever had. Never got to see Condorman. Never regretted it.
So pleased to see this review...I went to see this at the cinema as a kid, and it had as much influence on my youthful mind as Star Wars.
The main theme makes this movie way better than it was no doubt.
I originally watched this film because I was a fan of Michael Crawford, however as well as his performance, the film/story itself is really well made and creative - although you could argue the final half is a bit rushed. I will say also that it is not beyond comprehension that Natalia got sick of working for the KGB itself.
This one of my all time favorite movies. I was afraid to watch a review but you nailed it. The wrong music can kill a movie.
A definite childhood favorite. It really holds up entertainment wise. Great review!
I remember this movie! It was campy fun. It was basically combining James Bond with Inspector Gadget.
Brilliant work sir! I consider this "Genuine Seriousness About Silliness" which could be anything I've often talked about regarding bad movies that I love. Again, it is such a comfort knowing some fellow fans of later Disney Live Action films that many have either forgotten about, or never want to give a second glance. This review of Condorman was spot on! Everything you've said is what I would've expected to hear from a fan! You've now made me a subscriber sir! I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Saw this at the Cinema aged 8 and then repeatedly on home video. Definite classic, despite its flaws.
A real gem! Amazing that it's still not available on Disney+
Speaking of Bond girls - Barbara Carrera later on really played one, named Fatima Blush, in Never Say Never Again (though some would rush to state that this is not a canon Bond movie). She was also known to say that Sean Connery looks "sexier without the hairpiece".
Condorman isn't just special to you Dude. Glad you reviewed it :)
i love this movie, and parts of it still give me the chills, the scene where woody draws her always brings a tear to my eye the music is so haunting, and the build up to where you first see the condor car with the music ramping up gets my pulse pounding, they dont make them like this anymore
I love Condorman I also had the vhs disney tape with the neon Mickey
I saw this movie endless time as a kid and if i remember i see myself playing with toy Porsches on the ground, humming >Attack of the Prognoviach
This movie came out when I was 4. My favorite scene was the car chase. I loved those Porsches, even though they were driven by the bad guys. Doesn't make the cars bad, does it? I also like the boat chase. I had to love the end, where Natalia (Barbara Carrera) finally made it to America. Great film. I'd like to see if I could find it on Amazon, maybe.

I love this movie, but everyone I show it to hates it! It's hard to translate nostalgia to others. :(
I bought a Nova kit car back in 1980 from a Kit car company based in yorkshire and i had parts off the car in this film. The car was based on a Ford GT40...
One of my favorite films as a kid. Your review nails it. Wonder if they will ever bring it to Disney+?
I remember seeing this on the Disney Channel in the early 90s when I was 9 years old.
Condorman is better than bond and michael crawford is an absolute legend, everyone should check out his stunts in some mothers do ave em, especially the rollerskate scene.
The sequel bait ending would probably have hinted at the adventures continuing in the comics, kind of like when the "Beyond the Black Hole" series was published after the adaptation ended.
I, like you grew up watching the hell out of this movie and it is also very special to me. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for this most thoughtful and thorough review.
Sorry last line should read "this review has inspired me to look up the movie again"
This was one of those movies that I sometimes wondered whether I actually saw it or just dreamed. It would be on TV once in a while, and I really liked it, but most people I talked to had never heard of.

What a great review, well done. I saw this in the theatre at the time and then owned a kids novelisation which I read many times. Magus review has uninspired me to look the movie up again.
Still love this movie - Come on Disney+
When I 1st saw condorman it was in the school auditorium on 3 reel projector film well Actually 2 and a 1/2 reel
Amazing film, remember it fondly from my early years
There was a Disney movie trailer that scared me as a kid. Think it was the late 70’s or early 80’s. Can’t remember the title but Betty Davis was in it and I remember some type of monster in the woods. Remember the trailer freaked me out, I think I was 5 or 6. Do you know the movie and can you do a review on it? Thinking back on it, I couldn’t understand why Disney would want to do a horror movie.
This car was built in Ravensthorpe Dewsbury West yorkshire
Another great review, and strangely enough I was discussing this film with some friends last night, which I haven't seen in ages. I would like to revisiting this one again, especially how I've rediscovering a lot of Disney's live action output of late. Plus, a fellow Godzilla / Kaiju fan I see?!?! :)
I have the same issue with the movie The Black Hole. My adult brain knows it's bad, but my 8 year old kid brain still loves it.
Could you please review one of our dinosaurs is missing?
I love this movie. When is the remake coming out?
Where can I find this movie?
Such a fun movie.
Epic theme song
I love soundtracks too, which are your all time favourite ones?
+MONGREL-STAR COMICS. I could go on forever, but some of the ones that spring to mind are Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Guns for San Sebastian (and just about everything else Morricone has done), The Omega Man, Brazil, Carl Davis's silent film work (Hollywood and The Thief of Bagdad, especially) and Macross: Do You Remember Love. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Awesome review! Excellent work dude.
I saw it in the movie theater.
I want to know, where this picture at 00:25 is from. Do you possibly still have the link to it?
We had this on VHS and watched alot as well kids in our school talked about it alot as well but it never quite reached cult status till now, but even still its very neiche
I love this movie, in certain way, it´s a parody of Batman and 007, if you think about it.
I think it great I got on DVD I remember growing up it's enjoyable and fun
I'm watching it again...subscribed.
Grüße aus Deutschland, gut gemachtes Review😊
I love this movie and I even have the comics
Another awesome review subbed
J'ai vu ce film au cinéma avec un copain du pensionnat en 1981 ou 82? trop drôle et impressionnant!! J'avais 12 ans. Il faut le visionner, ça en vaut le coup, croyez moi!
I love love love this movie.
Crazy, silly idea, but instead of a reboot Condorman can we get a sequel? Something written well enough to stand alone for those who haven't seen the original but which doesn't ignore the original or -heaven forbid- try to stuff 1981 world politics into 2018+?
Joel - this is an absolutely stonking review - well done!! Having filmed a few video reviews myself, I can appreciate the work you've put into this. On to the film- I watched it myself last night (brief review here: www.moviesloths.co.uk/condorman-1981) and really enjoyed it after last seeing it in the cinema 34 years ago! Eeek! You summed up the subjective and nostalgic nature of its appeal really well, and yet underneath I think the plot emanates from a pretty cool idea - getting wacky gadgets made facilitate your own spy story - nice work if you can get it! Anyway, keep up the good work - where can I find your own movies? Marc (aka The Hitman)
michael crawford's own stunts on this film what made the film funny like some mothers do ave them!
Great job, kid!
13:59, *(Mythbusters) GRANT IMAHARA...?!?!?!*
It's not on Disney+. I just checked. Maybe they are ashamed of it..
Cool bro me too nice! You just gained a subscriber!!
How dare you call it silly
I got the dvd from Amazon and it is terrible quality
Why does a 12 year old kid have the voice of a 37 year old man lol?
Valiant effort, but the cringe was too strong. Couldn't make it past the intro. Good luck.
This film was terrible. Saw it in the cinema. So cheap looking. Terrible effects even for the time.
bro, i saw this on disney in like 81 or 82. it's one of my fondest childhood memories. I wanted to be a spy when i grew up to be just like my hero. my love of comics too. unfortuneately, my discovery of the evils of the US intelligence opparateus and how it visits cruelty on our own people made me decide be a different type of good guy. Jedi space wizard comes to mind. so i'm writing a movie now, the hero might die at the end but real heros know the risks and so do i.... btw totally read on John Dee and his 5 books of mystery. the end is near. LOL
oh yeah and read on synarchism.
