Condorman
Dir: Charles Jarrott
1981
**
Not exactly the best Superhero film ever made, more Pink Panther meets Some Mothers do 'ave 'em. It actually starts off okay when the film is basically a spy spoof, it just gets stupid when 'Condorman' suddenly becomes 'our only hope' and designs his slightly cooler looking Batman/Chitty Chitty Bang Bang style mod cons (and gets them made in a day). This looks like your typical Disney 'made for TV' film that they made in the 60s and early 70s. At 1981 is was already looking a bit dated and don't get me started on Michael Crawford's accent. What was Oliver Reed thinking? Or was he drunk?
