Trivia
During one take, when Condorman falls into the River Seine, Michael Crawford nearly drowned after the strength of the current was miscalculated. He was dragged five to ten feet under the water before two lifeguards pulled him out just in time. Crawford was willing to do the stunt again but director Charles Jarrott refused to allow it, and put a trained stuntman in his place.

Goofs
Wire work is clearly seen above the Condorman suit flying over the Monte Carlo pier.

Quotes
Turkish waiter: Your order sir?
Woody Wilkins: [indicates Natlia's drink] I'll have one of those.
Turkish waiter: One Istanbul Express.
Woody Wilkins: Yes. A double.
Turkish waiter: [suprised] A double? Nobody orders the double, sir!
Woody Wilkins: Okay. Make it a triple.

Crazy credits
When the Condorman logo appears, a cartoon Condorman poses next to it and gets his wing caught underneath it. This is followed by the Condorman cartoon flying (and crashing) over live-action footage of Paris during the opening credits.

Cheezy yet sweet

Think of Batman meets Inspector gadget!

Even for '81 this movie can bring you along for thrill ride. Beautiful women, neat gadgets and one of the best car chases. The main musical theme is easy to remember and consist of a one word lyric "CONDORMAN!". Yet "Condorman" is so ignorant that he doesn't realize the peril he puts himself into. He's a cartoonist for goodness sake!

Wonderfully cheezy in today's standards!
