Does anyone else here remember Condorman?

This was one of my favourite films when i was a kid and it's finally being released on region 2 DVD this Monday (21/8).

Great cast, brill theme tune, souped-up cars and boats, espionage, a would-be spy/superhero... This film had everything!

OK, i'll admit, it is a bit cheesy and Michael Crawford probably regrets ever being in it but I bought the video 2nd hand a few years ago and although the viewing quality was pretty poor it still didn't disappoint like a lot of films/tv shows do when you revisit them after a few years.

Go on, revisit your youth, give Condorman another go, you wont regret it! :D
 
I remember going to see Condorman at the cinema all those years ago. It was a frienRAB 9th birthday party.

I remember missing the Royal Wedding street party.
 
Aaaah, Condorman. :) I thought it was out on DVD already? Anyway, great theme tune, excellent car and boat chases, but not enough actual Condorman flying action. I'm almost afraid to watch it again in case it's not as great as I remember.
 
It was out on region 1 but i think it was deleted a few years ago. I know what you mean about old films/tv not being as good as you remember but i really enjoyed it after all these years, although you realise how cheesy it is when watching it now, its still great fun!

If you search around you can find it quite cheap.
 
It was on eBay a while ago, not on official release

(and yes, it is best not to go there), relive your dreams

The spycar however lives on...

You need to fit a better engine than the standard package. (they are also rear end heavy , same as Porsches) so ensure you go for a mid engined unit

A BX19 16V front end will slot in the back without too much trouble, giving you 150+ BHP straight away, and allow the LHM suspension to give the slant the bodywork neeRAB

Good luck
