Condorman is a 1981 American superhero comedy film directed by Charles Jarrott, produced by Walt Disney Productions, and starring Michael Crawford, Barbara Carrera and Oliver Reed. The film follows comic book illustrator Woodrow Wilkins's attempts to assist in the defection of a female Soviet KGB agent.

Production

Condorman was inspired by The Game of X by Robert Sheckley, a novel published in 1965. The Chicago Tribune called it "genuinely funny and suspenseful." The New York Times said it was "often very funny". The Los Angeles Times called it "riotous".

The film was slightly more racy than Disney normally produced. Then-president Ron Miller said the Barbara Carrera character was "the sexiest in Disney's history".

The Condormobile was a modified Nova Sterling kit car.

Condorman was filmed in Paris, Monte Carlo and Zermatt, Switzerland. Rémy Julienne, a renowned French stunt driver whose previous work included The Italian Job and several James Bond films among more than a hundred others, coordinated the film's car chases and stunts.

The film's special effects were directed by Colin Chilvers, who previously worked on the first two Superman films starring Christopher Reeve. The effects were filmed at the location also used by Chilvers for the Superman films: Pinewood Studios. Using the same facilities meant efficiency for Chilvers to create the effects he desired, reusing the equipment from Superman and adapting it for Condorman.
