Synopsis

Woodie Wilkins, a comic strip artist/writer suddenly finds himself recruited to deliver diplomatic papers to a Russian contact in Istanbul. On meeting the beautiful Russian agent, Natalia, he introduces himself by the code name of 'Condorman', one of his comic strip heroes. More by accident than by design he beats off a trio of thugs and this leads us into some incredible adventures for he is taken by the KGB as an authentic agent! In trying to help Natalia escape from Russia he employs a panoply of exciting weaponry including a gypsy truck-turned racing car-turned hydrofoil and we have a finale which includes powerful racing boats and laser cannons as we race across the bays of Monte Carlo.

I saw this in the cinema in the summer of 1981 making it my first cinema experience so it's more of a guilty childhood favourite.   Michael Crawford's hokey American accent is pretty awful and the flying scenes are laughable but when it comes to good clean family entertainment you can't go far wrong. With Henry Mancini providing a memorable score which I would love to get on CD or vinyl. "Condormaaaaan!"     Its pretty much a silly Bond clone for kiddies with all the gadgets and exotic locations that we associate with 007.  Oh and Barbera Carrera is gorgeous as always.        An added bonus look at Tron is included on the cassette which is no bad thing.
