At least it's not just me. Someon...Christian--<br /><br />At least it's not just me. Someone I know referred to him in this film as "not-Jim Dale" which is probably an insult to Jim Dale. I can't say I blame you for never making it through the whole thing. <br /><br />Joe --<br /><br />Cool, somebody else saw it! You're not missing it, but I would like a reminder of what Condorman Crunch tasted like. <br /><br />ZAR--<br /><br />If this wasn't a Disney movie, I could imagine that some label would be able to put out the score since the Mancini name would get enough fans to buy it. Well, I'd buy it. Oh well, I can always hope. Some of it is really good. <br /><br />Robert--<br /><br />No kidding, I saw this with my sister and while memories are vague, I think she did exactly the same thing you did. You're right that it was a missed opportunity--the lobby may very well have been more enjoyable.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-68661850009475215982009-09-19T21:51:00.068-07:002009-09-19T21:51:00.068-07:00I remember going out to the lobby midway through t...I remember going out to the lobby midway through the picture and returning just before the end - I was that bored.<br /><br />And apparently I didn't miss a thing.<br /><br />Just maddening, the missed opportunities... this was during Disney's attempt to go for an older audience - but their heart really wasn't into it.Robert H.http://mimezine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-21572879168446328022009-09-18T02:20:20.832-07:002009-09-18T02:20:20.832-07:00One of the first SF-themed movies I skipped!
It&#...One of the first SF-themed movies I skipped!<br /><br />It's from this "weird" era at the beginning of the 80s (up to 1984?), when Disney actually tried something new - including THE BLACK HOLE, TRON, DRAGONSLAYER etc.<br /><br />And while those three have a status as classics, CONDORMAN most certainly does not!<br /><br />I remember seeing the poster art and the photos and thinking to myself, this looks silly. Looks like I was right all along.<br /><br />Show-Off asshole actually liked this movie a lot but he never showed it to me, so bad lack again! (Instead I had to endure two hours of ice hockey on TV, since the little bastard wouldn't say it to my face that he <br />wanted to get rid of me. He rather waited for two hours and then let his grumpy asshole grandfather tell me.)<br /><br />The score by Mancini was and is quite in demand by score afficionados and as much as I have heard of it (mostly directly recorded out of the film) it should be quite nice. Though maybe not on the level of LIFEFORCE.<br /><br />ZAR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-25190293122699234002009-09-17T22:50:32.835-07:002009-09-17T22:50:32.835-07:00I too saw Condorman on that double bill with Song ...I too saw <em>Condorman</em> on that double bill with <em>Song of the South</em> in 1981. All I remember was Michael Crawford's voice being dubbed to sound American. Barbara Carrera's charms and Baskin Robbins offering Condorman Crunch were lost on me.

Has there ever been a more annoying lead than Michael Crawford? I'm glad he found his dark metier as The Phantom. This looks just like the kind of lifeless business decisions that Disney was passing off as movies.christianhttp://christiandivine.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
