    Fun Fact: the driving stunts were done by the legendary French stunt driver Remy Julienne and his team.
    The same people who did the stunts for The Italian Job & many James Bond movies.

      The 'Nova Sterling' is now 'Aerotec Nova' who has held the licence for the cast of the body work. I drove one myself, with a VW Beetle engine. Really bad car, no leg room, no visibility front, side or rear, no power and awful handling. Those black cars are kits too as the end shots show those were fibreglass bodywork, not sheet metal.

    Watched this film the night after I split my head open jumping a Raleigh Strika off the prom onto the beach. Two things always struck me as pure class in this chase. 1, at a time when Bond baddies were fooling around in Ford Cortinas, this movie managed to source half a dozen 911s, and one a flatnose special. 2, the actor, Michael Crawford was very famous in the UK for playing a comedy character called Frank Spencer. In this chase where, the stunt driver drives the Condormobile between the log truck wheels, Michael Crawford did the exact same stunt himself, on roller skates, as Frank Spencer. Awesome work all around. Love this movie.

  • @DanakarEndeel

    Such an awesome and underrated movie. The yellow "Condor" car used in that movie was actually a kitcar called a Nova that was usually put on an old VW Beetle chassis (I believe in the US they often used a Fiero chassis). I owned two of those kitcars back in the day. One was from the UK where the guys had the original molds and were pulling these kits out in a shed (so the quality of the fiberglass layers wasn't too great) while the other was from a company in the US which made a modified version called the Nova Sterling (that one also had solid flip-up headlight covers like we see in Condorman). I believe only 7 or so Sterlings were made before the company went under though.
    Ofcourse the one depicted here in the movie had some additional modifications; most notably the rear section as the Nova didn't have those jet-trusters or anything. There was also a Nova kitcar used in one of the Cannonball movies. You'll know it when the entire roof section opens and closes as that was the main feature of the car. 🙂

    My brother and I wore out the VHS as kids!!! One day the tape broke. My dad worked for Disney when we were little and would rent the actual 35mm reals of movies and project them on a screen in the front yard. He couldn’t play Condorman because it required a special lens on the projector. To this day, it’s still one of my favorite movies from my childhood.

    A forgotten gem. Forgotten in part, from a British perspective, in that Michael Crawford had become so indelibly associated with a decidedly non-hero role (to the point where he could barely leave his flat) in the UK that it was difficult for many to realise what a profoundly good actor he is.
