This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Hello and welcome to another episode of, what do we call this, F*** Face Catches a Movie?
I don't think we've ever called it that.
I think that's maybe the first time I've heard
those words in that segment.
I'm saying, what do we call this? I'm asking you, what should we call it?
I think we just call it Watches
Blank. F*** Face Watches Blank.
I think it's just F*** Face Watches
Condor Man. Film Face.
Fuck Film. I think Film Face
is a really good...
Because if it was like Film Fuck,
we shouldn't do that.
See, I didn't... If we shouldn't do that. I think... See...
This is good.
See, I didn't...
If I hadn't asked that question,
we never would have gotten to...
What is it?
Film face?
Which is great.
You were trying to make a point
and couldn't remember the name
that you were making the point with.
No.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, so today,
this is the third iteration of this.
The very first one we did, we watched The Tuxedo.
And then the second one, we watched MVP 2.
And then today, we are going to watch the, I don't know, 1980 or 1981 film Condor Man.
Which is a Disney film starring Michael Crawford.
If you don't know who Michael Crawford is,
he was the original Phantom of the Opera.
Oh, okay.
Some mothers do have a Michael Crawford.
What's that?
What?
Yeah, Michael Crawford from the Phantom of the Opera
and also from Hello Dolly,
I think was his other big role that he did.
What was the one you said?
What did you say?
I said
some mothers do have them.
Some others do have them. Some mothers
do have them. Okay.
Relax. Calm down.
Jesus Christ. We're watching a movie.
Why are you mad?
I don't understand what he's doing.
Is that a movie that Michael Crawford
was in? No. It's like a popular
sitcom in the 70s.
But was he in it?
Was he in it?
Why would I be talking about that?
I'm looking at that.
I'm asking you.
Why is it written like the way you speak?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't like that.
Because that's the way he speaks.
Michael Crawford played Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do Avenue.
Frank Spencer is one of the most iconic characters in British
history. Really?
Yeah, well, Phantom of the Opera is pretty iconic in America.
That's fair. Good singer,
isn't he? What do some mothers have?
What is the um?
Like when someone's a dipshit.
They're like, oh, some mothers do have them.
Oh, like some mothers
have dipshits.
Yeah, same Michael Crawford. Easy. He, like some mother. Like, got it. Dipshits. Dipshits. Got it. Yeah.
Same Michael Crawford.
Easy.
He is also in this.
Interesting, really interesting resume, Michael Crawford's career.
I think he even won a Tony for Phantom of the Opera, but maybe I'm just remembering that.
Anyway, Eric asked, why are we doing this?
I think we're doing this because we wanted to continue to watch movies, and we were having
a conversation about if I were to pick a movie because i think i think technically the first
one was picked by gavin that was kind of his story the second one uh was clearly andrew's
the story of andrew learning how to skateboard from a monkey in his childhood a prized moment
i tried to reach back into my childhood uh the movies that i loved as a kid that i i couldn't make us watch today uh like the apple
dumpling gang like nobody needs to see that uh or the shaggy da or any of that stuff or those
fabulous dobermans is it racist no they're just bad it's their bed they're just bad sorry they're
long and boring kids movies it's like trying to to sit down and watch Mary Poppins today.
You're like, we're a fucking hour in and Mary Poppins hasn't opened her umbrella once.
Do anything.
Yeah, but the cannons have gone off.
The cannons have gone off.
That's what keeps you awake in the first fucking hour.
Anyway, so I remembered a movie that has always stuck with me called Condor Man.
And here's what I remember about the movie.
has always stuck with me called Condor Man. And here's what I remember about the movie. And I must admit a little trepidation and a little fear because y'all had great movies with great stories.
I just remember that when this movie came out, I was desperate to see it. And my mom used to take
me out on little movie dates where we would go like get dinner and then go to a movie like
mom and son kind of thing. And so she took me out to see Condor Man.
All I remember about the movie, all I remember about the movie is like a wingsuit and that
they promoted Condor Man Crunch ice cream heavily.
And so right after the movie, my mom took me to Baskin Robbins, or we used to call it
back then, we used to just call it 31 Flavors when I was a little kid.
But she took me to Baskin Robbins and and they had Condorman Crunch, and I ate it.
And I thought it was the best ice cream on earth.
And that's the sum total of my memory of Condorman.
I don't know what the movie's about.
I thought about going and watching it ahead of time to kind of prep.
But I kind of thought it would be better if I went in just as blind as y'all.
Absolutely.
And so I'm really nervous because the tuxedo?
Home run, right?
MVP 2, grand slam.
So the stakes are pretty fucking high for Condor Man.
And I feel like I have the least amount of touch point to that movie compared to the ones y'all had.
So this could be a flaming disaster.
But we all did make Condor Man Crunch.
Do you guys want to like talk about your condor
man punch i mean i did you might take a photo and share i took a photo i'm good to go i just
want to say that i wish we still and maybe it is in america we don't really have basket robins at
least where i live uh i wish we lived in a world where there was more licensed ice cream i love
the idea of movie ice cream in general i I was looking at other basket Robbins flavors. They did this one.
This is my favorite one.
I've seen can't stop the nuts that was inspired by the sensational new can't stop the music.
It's great.
Like, I just want that dumb shit in my life, and I don't think we really have it.
I agree.
But Gavin immediately shared his ice.
Is that OK?
That's OK. Let me just look. Is that okay? That's, oh, okay, let me just look.
Is that a, that looks really faithful.
Is that pecan pralines broken up?
It is, but also, I've made an addition.
Okay.
I've also, because I couldn't find pralines
because I didn't know what they were,
I bought chocolate pretzels.
Oh, that looks great.
And then I found pralines.
So I've added the pretzels on as to not waste them.
So let me list the ingredients
of the ice cream
as we're going through this.
As per the ad for Conor and Crunch
that we found on the internet,
chocolate ice cream
with crunchy praline pecan bits
and a milk chocolate ribbon.
And I have to say,
I figured I could go
into the grocery store
and find like chocolate
praline ice cream.
You can't. Like they hit on a flavor.
They nailed it out of the gate and then nobody else.
We tread over their steps.
There is a dearth of those ingredients even coming close to being in the same ice cream at the store.
From what I can tell.
Andrew, do you want to show yours now?
Sure.
So I had I couldn't find just pralines by themselves,
so I had to buy a praline ice cream.
So I went with a mix.
I also realized, Gavin, I thought yours had melted
because of the whiteness of the plate
and that that was what was left.
I have so much more ice cream than you have.
I have a full bowl.
It should be up on the photo right now.
Oh, my God.
So we got some praline ice cream in there with chocolate,
a deep chocolate ice cream,
and a little chocolate swirl on top.
It was the closest I could get to the pralines and the chocolate.
I think it's going to be delicious.
I'm excited to try it.
I think both of your ice creams look beautiful.
I think they're different and unique,
and I think you should both be proud of them.
Eric, do you have one to share, or is it just those guys?
No, it's just them.
I didn't get ice cream for the Condor Man because I made a cup of coffee.
I've got coffee, too.
Wow.
Me and Gavin, a couple of coffee guys, right?
God, I wish I had coffee.
I just have water.
I haven't told you guys about this.
It's main content, but I gave up sodas, and so now I just have water. I haven't told you guys about this. It's main content, but I gave up sodas.
And so now I just drink water.
That's fucking boring.
Yeah, my whole life is boring.
Not even Coke Zero?
No, I don't.
Okay, hang on.
It's a long story.
But no, not even Coke Zero.
I gave up sodas.
Wait, wait, wait.
What about Coke Zero?
No, I don't drink that.
Okay, but what about Dr. Pepper?
No, Dr. Pepper and Coke Zero are different things.
Coke Zero is barely a soda.
I've had
one Diet Coke since last
Saturday. Are you horrendously addicted
to caffeine and that's why? No,
I just was trying to save money and sodas
are getting real expensive with inflation and also
I drink five to ten Diet Cokes
a day. That can't be good for
me. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Honestly, diet Pepsi.
So maybe that's better in some way, diet Pepsi.
Don't you drink like six monsters a day?
Yeah, I drink probably three monsters a day as well.
And then two iced coffees.
Well, that's where all the money's going.
But I've cut all that out.
You don't drink any energy drinks now?
No.
I haven't had an energy drink since last week.
Maybe that's why you were so quiet when you joined.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I will say, man,
I've been consuming that level of caffeine
since I joined the army,
and I had to learn how to stay awake.
And I have been having trouble staying up past 9 p.m now
uh it turns out you cut i don't know a thousand milligrams of caffeine out of your day
you go right the fuck to sleep i love that you're like i'm unfazed by caffeine does nothing to me
and then you remove it instantly like i cannot stay awake me and the uh me and the chickens as
soon as the sun goes down,
we're fucking dead to the world.
Anyway, we can talk about all that in the face.
It's not for,
and it's not like a hard and fast rule.
Like, I'm not, like,
if I go to a restaurant
and they have soda on the menu,
I will order it.
I'm just not going to pay.
I'm just not going to buy a bunch of soda cans
and have them in my fridge and stuff.
Okay, anyway,
my ice cream is,
I also couldn't find,
I couldn't find i couldn't
find pralines at all i know what a praline is i know what a pecan praline is if uh if i had the
time i would have driven to like one of the mexican restaurants around my house and they
tend to sell them in little cookies you can get uh they're fucking delicious like at the at the
register but i couldn't find any like that at the grocery store. So I got chocolate ice cream with butter pecan praline ice cream, and I mixed that together,
which gives me some vanilla in there, so it's not really true to the recipe.
Then I put crushed pecans on it and then got into a bit of a heated discussion with Emily
this morning about what constitutes a chocolate ribbon.
She felt very, I was just going to pour chocolate syrup on. She felt very serious that they would
not advertise a chocolate ribbon as chocolate syrup because of consistency that it's probably
chocolate fudge that was folded into the ice cream. So it has to go all the way through like a vein.
Yeah. So I bought chocolate fudge and put that on it as well.
And I already ate it.
It's already gone.
I think yours looks the best.
Yeah, I think you did great.
Hey, Nick, what kind of ice cream do you have?
It's Midnight Crunch,
which is like a mix of M&Ms and like...
It has the folded in chocolate,
so I'm halfway there.
There you go.
I went no ice cream.
You just went any ice cream.
Yeah.
Solidarity, man.
If you were to ask Nick what ice cream he's having, he would have an answer for each episode.
I assume he's just always eating ice cream.
I think you're right.
I don't think this is specific to this thing.
It just is now aligned with his interest.
That's too real.
I'm going to say he's not in the mask.
Yeah.
No.
No.
No, Gavin Kevin you fucking idiot
is that a guess?
are you done with your guess?
a guess would be like are you in the
well wait so you're not officially guessing
you're just levying an opinion you're not asking
I'm floating an idea
well you're right
I can't believe I looked at a picture of condor Man and didn't know it was Michael Crawford.
Yeah, I can't believe I didn't know who Michael Crawford was until Emily said, wait, Phantom of the Opera?
Hello, Dolly, Michael Crawford.
And I was like, maybe.
And then he's like, oh, Betty.
And then he's like, oh, Betty.
Yeah.
What a wild career, huh?
He's done everything.
Has he?
And his name in this is Woody,
which is the same name as that guy from Cheers
that was in that movie review I just gave.
It was.
By the time this is out,
like, where do you think this lines up?
Just curious.
Ooh, I don't know.
Just curious about what you think.
We should date this.
Today is, we're recording this Friday, March 10th
at 1 p.m.
That, I didn't vocalize it at the the time but the fact that you remembered the character name was woody but
it wasn't woody harrelson baffled me because when you're saying that i was like i remember woody
harrelson was in that show but certainly he would know woody was woody harrelson so it has to be
like some other side character that i don't really remember that had the name of woody it's not that
was crazy.
No, I just thought it was really fucking fun.
I just thought it would be very funny to refer to Woody Harrelson
as Woody the guy from Cheers,
not Woody Harrelson the guy from everything you've seen your entire life.
Like Austin Powers.
What?
What do you mean?
Are we just naming movies now?
That's the only thing I knew him from for a while.
He's in Austin Powers? I don't remember him in Austin Powers. That's the only thing I knew him from for a while. He's in Austin Powers?
I don't remember him in Austin Powers.
He's Woody Harrelson. He's like when they're talking about the
rocket-shaped penis.
I was like, I don't know
who that is, but he's got a funny name.
Secondor Man.
Yeah, let's get to it, huh?
I had half an episode of F*** Face at the beginning
of this. Man, no kidding.

You can.

No, it is not.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, Jeff.
Oh, no.
If we watch the old volt shit.
Uh-huh.
Hey, y'all.
Yeah. I'm sorry if this movie's not good.
Once again, I only remembered the ice cream.
I'm not concerned with it, honestly, not being good.
I'm concerned about the content here with what we're about to get into.
It's a Disney movie.
If it was problematic, it wouldn't. if it was problematic it would if it was problematic
they wouldn't put it on their streaming service yeah anyway i got this on amazon prime we'll see
um so i'm gonna count down three two one now and then on now you hit play along with us and
together we will watch 1981's Condor Man.
Are you guys ready?
This is happening right now.
Were any of you alive in 1981?
No, not yet.
I was not six years old.
Not for another seven years.
God damn.
13.
All right.
Here we go.
Going to watch Condor Man.
Three, two, one. go. Gonna watch Condor Man 3, 2, 1,
now. Yes!
This film is modified
from its original version.
It's fucking pan and scan!
Is this like the American Airlines version?
What the hell is this?
You don't know my screen?
Oh, it's rated PG.
They did in 1981.
Can you hear it? Yeah, it sounds great.
This is some bootleg airline version.
This is on, like, Amazon.
Yeah, man.
It's 4x3.
Oh, I also have captions on just in case.
Oh, look at that logo.
I want that as a piece of metal.
I don't know.
That makes me look like I've...
Yeah, I would say it's kind of Nazi-ish,
except they're fighting Russians this whole movie, I think,
in communism.
Oh, we got animation?
It looks like a weapon you pick up in Contra.
Fire the Condor Man!
This is the most 1980s-ass movie I've seen in a long time.
Dude, this is what it was like to be a child in the 80s.
Oh, it's like a real object.
Oh, and it transitions.
I'm shocked we're still dealing with animation.
Is that the Trump Delamont?
Or the Arc de Triomphe, I mean?
I have no idea.
I love this font.
Yeah, it's a really good font.
Oliver Reed Krakow.
What British sitcom was he in?
Well, is it Barbara Carrera in a Bond movie? Which which one you would think gavin would know he's the fan
i don't know offhand hey is condor man really loud for anybody else is it a little bit it's
very loud isn't all of a read who they like cg'd his head on after he died? What?
There we go.
In Star Wars?
Yeah.
Sorry about that.
No worries.
Did a goofy scream.
I'm going to look up Barbara Carrera.
Is it Gene Zay,
the guy that did costumes
for Condor Man?
So another part of this movie
is animated, right?
This is it?
This is the only animation?
To my knowledge, yeah, I couldn't tell you.
I don't think so.
Are they going like Pink Panther vibes just for the beginning?
She's in Never Say Never Again.
Not official.
It's in Disney.
It's a Disney movie, so I think they're required to have some form of animation somewhere.
I think they're required to have some form of animation somewhere.
Oh, Henry Mancini did the music.
Oh, shit, Henry Mancini.
Wow.
I want the big guns.
Do you think Henry Mancini did the music for a movie like this, or do you think they just went to Henry Mancini and said,
what do you got that you haven't used yet?
And he's like, he just thumbs through some stuff and he goes, take this one.
No, I think he went deep
into the soul of Condor Man.
Scream Condor Man on top of this.
It'll be fine.
I don't think I've seen as much
of a movie without having any context
for what it will be. Like, we have no,
there's been no indication on what this really is.
Also, where's the sides of the image?
It's a pan and scan, man.
Listen, Henry made CD cost a lot of money, okay?
You would have fucking hated to grow up when I was a kid.
What if it's like the IMAX presentation?
That idea that this was ever in IMAX.
Oh, there he is. Oh, there he is.
It's the real guy.
What is the name of that show?
Mother's Gotta Have One.
Some mothers do have them.
Some mothers do have them. It's freaking expensive.
Mother's Gotta Have One. Some mothers do have them. It's freaking expensive. Mothers gotta have one.
Condor Man's gonna help somebody catch the bus.
That's all he's good for.
Wait up, wait up.
What if this was coincidentally also the day that James Bond jumped off the Eiffel Tower?
It's that fucking guy
He's what is right good talk
Always
James Hampton.
There's a Darren Aronofsky version of this that is really dark.
He was the dad in Teen Wolf.
That's how I know him.
He teaches Michael J. Fox how to be a responsible Teen Wolf.
Awesome.
There's no way the guy filming down there is able to capture this with a light scene.
Dude, that shit's real.
That's happening.
You could have been at the Eiffel Tower once and seen this shit.
You could have seen Frank Spencer
hovering above the Earth.
They paid the licensing fee to film at the Eiffel Tower.
Oh, no.
Oh.
What?
Was that like a little toy?
What was that?
He was in Sling Blade.
He was in Lady Gaga featuring R. Kelly,
Do What You Want.
Awesome.
Can we have it louder now that the music's over?
Yep.
Yeah.
How's that?
Good.
Thank you.
Fine.
So he's a comic book writer.
So he's a comic book writer. So he had,
he's a superhero comic book writer who makes sure that any superhero stuff he,
the Condorman does,
he can actually do in the real world.
Who cares?
Yeah.
Like what?
Like,
why would that be a thing that you want in a superhero who gives a fuck?
Well,
yeah.
You mentioned like reading an issue of the incredible Hulkulk and be like whoa what's realistic that's that's a yeah
that's a real weird jet that far like fuck dude i want real reality in my fantasy is what i want
who do you think would be the hardest superhero to be
if you had to be able to do their shit in real life?
I think Elastic Man would be a real tough one.
Yeah.
Dr. Manhattan.
Wait, do you...
Thank you.
Ooh.
We should watch Cloak and Dagger next.
It's a great movie.
It's a great movie.
And it takes place in Texas.
That's what he's trained to say.
Yeah, I don't think he's a file clerk.
He's got spy written all over him.
I think he's got spy.
I thought it was going to say spy HQ on the top so does he just like show up at
the Eiffel Tower in a condor man suit and
buy a ticket and they just let him up
the stairs oh it's that guy
is heavy cast Oh, it's that guy.
Dude, it's heavy cast.
That's Dana Elkar.
He was the guy in MacGyver.
I like the way everyone looks in this movie because no one looks like movie stars.
These are people I would see walking down the street.
Every single one of them.
I think I know who he's gonna ask for help.
Well, don't tell me.
If only he knew a real-life superhero.
If only.
Well, hang on.
Is Condorman able to deliver papers?
He won't write about it unless he does. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha! he won't write about it unless he does I love him can't get enough of him
riding him looking at him
big train guy
him looking at him. Big train guy.
Oh, he's going to show up in a... Oh, no, there he is.
Oh, my God.
I might hate Woody.
I'm with Andrew.
Is he going for Cluser?
Yeah, he he sucks Woody sucks
oh man
this guy's one of the best actors
of his generation
when
around 1981
I mean he nailed the Humphrey Bogart impression
nailed it to a wall he crucified it I mean, he nailed the Humphrey Bogart impression.
Nailed it to a wall.
He crucified it.
I really don't like Woody.
If I'm a fucking cop, and I'm not, but if I were, I'd have to tell you if you asked. But if I'm a cop, that's how it fucking works.
And everybody who's ever bought weed knows that.
if you asked, but if I'm a cop,
that's how it fucking works, and everybody who's ever bought weed knows that.
If I were a cop,
if I ever saw a dude under any
circumstances carrying a briefcase
that was fucking
handcuffed to him, I'm taking
that dude in. Guarantee.
It's never for a good reason.
Is he gonna be the
same plot as MVP? Is he gonna fall asleep and miss a stop and like
start playing hockey he's gonna end up in an animal reserve yeah he's gonna retire to the
sanctuary the condor sanctuary there must have the united states must have been in a huge belly dancing craze in the 80s because
when i was a kid it was a big fucking deal it was in every movie and i remember i now i just
remember this because of the scene my mom took belly dancing lessons when i was a kid i remember
that now what yeah i guess it was like the 80s version of Pilates or jazzercise or something but she would
yeah she would she would they she and her friends took belly dancing lessons
was it because the condor man it might have been it very well might have been
and that's the bond lady? Yeah, non-canon.
Eonabust.
Excuse me?
Eonabust?
Eon.
He's saying Ian.
Ian.
Ian. Eon. saying Ian Ian Ian Ian
I love how subtle they were with their
with their sexy names in James Bond
Pussy Galore
yeah
Esme titties
I watched GoldenEye the other day
and that's a really good one oh with Turbo Clunch yeah that fucking Esme titties. I watched Golden Eye the other day. And that was turbo clunge.
Yeah.
That fucking on a top.
What a great name.
Zenya on a top.
Yeah, it's fucking great.
I was going to recommend we do something on face at some point where we if we continue
to do these kinds of things and we want to do it with some sort of regularity, I thought
a fun angle to take would be to pick an actor or actress and do their entire body of work like do all of jackie chan or do all of like
oh my god i don't know somebody well maybe maybe not somebody with 200 credits but like somebody
uh with an interesting body of work that we could do maybe a bad body of work
but maybe it'd be fun to do all the james bond movies and And then Gavin could give us all his James Bond knowledge.
I mean, I'll watch him again.
Thanks, Gavin.
Are there a lot of non-canon James Bond movies, or is it just like one?
I think it's two, right?
Casino Royale. The first one.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the David Niven one.
Yeah.
Wouldn't that be
the most canon?
Wouldn't it?
Wouldn't that be like
everyone after that's not canon?
Have you ever read that book,
Casino Royale?
No, I haven't.
No.
It's a really good book.
It's a real fast read
james bond as written is a very different character than he is on screen
is he more or less of a complete bastard uh he's a complete bastard but he's more uh
fallible like you can you get a sense of his of how beat to shit he is a little bit more and not always
in control now he's just name dropping his own character i i'm with andrew i do not like this
guy no there's nothing i like about this guy well he's a buffoon
the drink needs to still be on fire I wonder if they ever made
a Condor Man comic book to go
like a companion to the movie
I'll look it up
what?
that was awesome
still hate him?
no I'm in I'm in on Woody
Woody's pretty great. Woody's amazing.
That would look like an optical effect.
Dude, I think
that there is
a three-issue set of
Condor Man. Oh, we need to get that.
That needs to be in the F*** Face
Museum.
It's like 15 bucks on eBaybay yeah we should get that i'll uh can you put that on the company credit card thanks yeah i'll grab it i'm back to not liking this guy i was just thinking it
would be fun to take those condor men comics and have somebody redraw them, but we change it to Andrew.
I feel like I should be insulted.
Why?
You get to be a fucking superhero.
Who anything Condor Man can do in real life, you know Michael Crawford can do in real life.
And if he can do it, you can do it.
I think that's about a butt.
He's doing his own stunts.
Yeah.
Who needs Jackie Chan?
Those are good hits, man.
Dude, that is a gorgeous restaurant these sequences are fun
yeah
that's not gonna feel good
I Looney Tunes in real life
is like my wheelhouse
and this is great
I'm having so much fun
my espresso machine takes like 25
seconds before it's doing that.
He looks like shit.
Look at him.
I'll do my best to avoid that
try to avoid
did you adopt that
Jeff after watching
do you have a try to avoid list
I'll do my best not to end up there
yeah my try
my try to avoid list
is prison
oh but he dropped them earlier.
There's gotta be some sort of mix-up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also, was the briefcase locked?
Like, he's handcuffed to it, but I don't think
the briefcase itself is locked or secure
in any way.
Oh, damn! Score!
itself is locked or secure in any way.
Oh, damn.
Score.
I'm going to have so much to write about.
A British an American
comic book artist falls in love
with a Russian spy
in Istanbul.
That's a story you tell your grandkids.
It's cool because in his comic now condor man can do all that stuff
yeah condor man can kiss a girl now
finally
it's like 12 episode arc
condor man gets lucky
condor man goes from restaurant to restaurant
and kisses Russian supermodels.
Oh, shit. oh shit I always wonder how long they've sat there
right like in this moment in movies
along
he was asleep
does he sit down there
and he pours himself the drink and then he's like
it looks so much cooler
with the drink
I'll just
I can't drink it
I'll just have to hold it
until she shows up
it's hot
yeah
that's the truth
you said it sister
preach to the converted.
Is that Oliver Reed?
Oliver Reed.
Fuck, I navigated to eBay.
Hold on.
Yeah, that's Krokov.
That's Oliver Reed.
You know him?
I just know that he died in the filming of Gladiator.
Oh, really?
Oh, really? I don't think he died.
He didn't die because of it.
What?
Did he die?
Did he die?
He died during the filming of, but not related to.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, I think they had to spend millions of dollars, like, CG-ing his
face onto someone else.
To finish his role.
I wonder if that's his most... They did that back in Gladiator times?
Wow. Yeah, I think that's why it was so
expensive.
That's a great joke there, Andrew.
Yeah, Gladiator.
Gladiator was the second to last thing he was in.
He was also in Oliver in 1968.
That's probably his most well-known role.
I have purchased Condor Man Comics issues one, two, and three.
Thank you so much, Eric.
Oh, he was also in a movie.
We might need to. Oh, Lord. also in a movie. We might need to.
Oh, Lord.
We might have a new movie on our hands.
He was in a 1980 movie called Dr.
Heckle and Mr.
Hype, an ugly, misshapen podiatrist.
This is for you, Gavin.
Ingests a formula made by a colleague and turns into a handsome devil-may-care but violent ladies' man.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hype.
An ugly...
He was the bad guy in Condor Man,
and then he was an ugly podiatrist.
Condor Man's a lefty.
I even wish you were talented. do you think that's his hand
I used to
who Michael Crawford's hand
yeah
oh definitely
at some point
you get old enough
to kind of give up on talent
it's just like
even if I still had it
it'd be worthless
at this point in my life
laser lady
laser lady
this guy's a
fucking dork
how about the fact that a dude threw
a switchblade knife at him
and it would have killed him but he stopped it and then he just walked it off like, yeah, it's another Wednesday.
It's a pretty echoey room.
Stop saying condor man
that's just some good trivia this guy's gonna get his ass kicked
he's not a real duck
is he explaining the concept of fiction kicked. The duck is not a real duck.
Is he explaining the concept of fiction? Oh, man.
That's another thing that the 80s was full of.
I don't know if you guys remember, but it was always a Russian trying to defect to America,
trying to flee communism to the freedom of America.
Red October style?
Yeah, or that Moscow on the Hudson, or
that movie with Gregory Hines
and the dude where they danced.
Good.
Then there wouldn't be a sequel.
How do we get that jumper?
Oh,
you know,
I was going to say earlier,
we all need spy jackets like he had on,
but maybe we just all need that sweater.
It,
it looks like he beat up the world's biggest kindergartner for that.
Yeah. go for a boy
it's interesting that that for a boy.
It's interesting that that like
weaselly
unattractive little voice
is one of the best
like musical theater voices of its generation.
You should hear him as Frank Spencer
and some others do have a voice.
Is it like
is it very accent heavy?
Yeah, you'd love it.
That's a great tagline.
Out of the inkwell and into real life. bear
laser lady laser lady is the bear laser lady is the bear
i wish that was what she's credited as like the actress like natalia aka the bear aka laser lady
Wait, is this guy British?
The main guy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is he?
Well, in real life, he is.
Oh.
Hence being in that British sitcom I was talking about. Well, here's the thing.
I didn't know that.
He's just been doing American shit here.
He's clearly wearing British sweaters. The Phantom of the Opera is British shit, isn't it? I don't know. I've never seen Phantom of the thing. I didn't know that. He's just been doing American shit here. He's clearly wearing British sweaters.
The Phantom of the Opera is British shit, isn't it?
I don't know.
I've never seen Phantom of the Opera.
I saw it.
It's good.
I saw it in the original place.
It's British.
Right, but he's British.
He's British.
No, but Condor Man's American.
Woody is American.
Woody is an American.
He's playing a character.
If you want to roll it back a little bit,
his buddy explains the concept of fiction.
We need a refresher.
Andrew, did you know this guy was British?
Yeah.
I had no idea.
I assume so.
Well, when he was in some of your mother's album
or whatever the fuck you have to be.
Mama needs one bad.
That's what made me look it up
because you guys were talking about it
and I went,
oh, that's weird that there's an American
in a show that sounds like that
and he's not American.
The most British guy in the world.
Where's Yugoslavia now?
What is that now?
That's where the Yugo was made.
No.
uh that's where they the yugo is made no dude that guy's fucking old-timey
lost him oh it's uh serbia and montenegro okay have you ever been to to Serbia or Montenegro, Gavin? I have not. I haven't either.
I think Serbia is a great name.
Serbia is a good name.
I think it's cool because the people are Serbs.
And I think that's a very... It's just very...
Like, consonant heavy.
I agree.
It's fun to say.
This guy's like a pre-Serb.
This guy's pre-Serb.
Is this not Woody?
Oh, is it?
Oh, it's Woody.
I think this is Woody.
He fooled us.
I was fooled.
Oh, the bear was hiding in the cave.
Wow.
It was the nose that fooled me.
Y'all didn't even know he was British,
let alone an old man.
He also kidnaps Christine Daae.
He's actually more likable with that face.
You should just keep that.
I like this character more.
Now that I know he's British, he sounds like he's doing an American accent.
Like, it sounds like a guy who's not American
I feel like
fucking British people
have so much more success doing American
accents than American people do have
doing British accents
I'm always so surprised
you're like I watched
all of the wire never knowing McNulty
was British yeah and like half
the cast is or fucking or what's his name in Walking Dead?
Oh, yeah.
When you watch Love Actually and you're like, what the fuck?
Yeah.
I think it's because there's only, like, there's like two American accents.
It's default American and Southern American.
But then a British accent is like, oh, you don't sound like you're from the North.
And it's like, I don't know what that means.
Let's fucking call up Krakow.
What kind of accent was that? What the hell?
He's got a tummy cane?
He's gonna shoot the bear.
How many bullets are in that thing?
He's fucking laughing.
He just killed his girlfriend.
He's laughing.
How has this never been a gif?
Because the world is largely forgotten about Condor, man.
It was lying dormant waiting for us to rediscover it.
That's so bad. Is this the first movie where the ice cream's better than the movie?
How many movies have an ice cream, though?
That's the problem.
That's a good point
Commitment to shoot on location in this movie this could not have been cheap. Oh fuck now. I gotta look that up
box-office mojo.
Steering mechanism.
There is...
No information on how much money this movie made.
Was he the first Brit to be a superhero?
An American superhero, I mean.
An American superhero.
Like, it's kind of the norm now, but... What about...
I'm not sure, like, the canon era Captain America movies
and, like, those superhero...
Spider-Man.
I don't know who was in those.
He kind of looks like that dude that plays
the great American hero.
He does.
I can't think of his name, but...
He was also in Big Wednesday, which is one of the best movies.
Monte Carlo.
There's an F1 race there.
Is that the one that's in the street?
I don't know.
Condor Man.
Too sentimental. It's hard to have less than two men
he said that like two men was a lot
I had two men following them like
it's essentially the minimum
how should he have phrased it a man and a spare
no yeah
I had double man
they were double
coverage They were double coverage Man
It's amazing we made it to the internet
It was a fucking
Slow inefficient world
Before
God damn
Oh shit That dude's got a mercury eyeball God damn.
Oh, shit.
That dude's got a mercury eyeball.
I don't think that will ever be referenced again,
which is why I like it so much.
It puts such an emphasis on a thing that I think is actually meaningless.
You don't think it'll fly out at some point?
No, I think that's it.
I don't think we'll ever see that again.
I'm going to jam my dick off when that eye flies out.
I think that's it.
I don't think we'll ever see that again. I'm going to tear my dick off when that eye flies out.
Everyone you're looking at right now is probably dead.
Oh, Jesus.
Well, maybe not that kid.
Kids are fine.
Those dudes dead.
That was 40 years ago.
I need to be 108.
What is happening?
This just got real sad.
It's Condor Man.
Are they all looking at Condor?
Yes.
Is he going to show up?
Wings and all?
A somber scene as they see Condor Man.
This is a really...
They're building the Condor, man.
I'm telling you.
You'll be flying by.
Okay.
Maybe they just don't ever hear vehicles.
That's the condor bell.
They're waiting for the school bell.
The donkey! The donkey!
That's... Wow.
That's a lot of Porsches.
That's fucking expensive.
That's not cheap.
And that Porsche has sonar.
Oh, the eye!
We just don't get to know.
It's a lot of choreography work to be part of this organization.
Alright, come on.
That's pretty cool.
That was pretty cool.
Much less impressive.
I hate him so much.
Back to hating this guy.
Yeah.
His accent's all over the place.
It's like if Dick Van Dyke's character in Mary Poppins tried to do an American accent.
That's the perfect... It looks like he's driving a car from Wacky Races.
His co-pilot's snidely whiplash.
Yeah, it's like the Ant Hill mob gang is about to get him. look at these awesome cars yeah this is great
they're about to take out peter perfect and penelope pit stop
look at this fucking thing.
It's the caveman.
It's Captain Caveman.
This is really hitting me in the childhood.
Oh, God. god yeah all these references
oh she's dead
oh shit
if you put the Park Naviage in Fast and Furious
They would maybe be the best villain in the franchise
They're great
This is kind of like the opening scene of the first Fast and the Furious
Yeah
If you consider they're the semi-truck
If that was filled with VCRs
It's the same
DVD players.
What is happening?
Wait, what?
Yes!
Yes!
It is a vehicle for wacky racers.
Yes!
Shouldn't one of them have stayed up there?
It's got green light technology.
They are, oh boy.
Just hit
any of those buttons, dickhead.
Oh!
Okay, that's pretty cool.
Kind of a single-use thing,
but that's pretty neat.
I want
one of those so bad.
You're telling me that car was
pulling a house for that long?
Were they sat on the roof?
They were in the
above part, yeah.
Why not just make the cab of the fake van
the real car?
I hope that they slip down into another one
underneath this one
you're telling me
that with technology like this
this guy was concerned about what
Condor Man could and could not do
for his comic
get real
you see where Batman stole all his ideas his comic. Yeah. Get real.
You see where Batman stole all his ideas.
Is that the rollable
font?
That'd be awesome if it
was.
Dedicated to killing. They gave a commitment ring to killing
they gave a commitment ring to killing
part of their organization
this is like not easy to film
or coordinate
this is very cool
where do you get three log trucks from
probably Oregon.
Yeah.
Wow.
This is great.
This is better than bullet.
Dude,
I would turn that jet engine on
just like we used to do in GTA
and blow those motherfuckers
motherfuckers
blow those motherfuckers halfway across the airport.
Oh, he did.
Oh!
Get cooked!
He screams,
you motherfuckers!
Whoa! Oh, shit!
Oh my god!
That's gonna be hard to walk away from.
God damn.
That's going to be hard to walk away from.
Frickin' hell.
They spent all the money on the second unit.
I'm going to get a Condorman tattoo.
Write that down. Condorman tattoo.
I got my phone.
Get Condorman tattoo.
Jump!
Uh-oh.
Oh, is it Repco?
Oh, shit.
It is!
Whoa!
Wow!
Fast and Furious got all their ideas from Condor Man.
Yep.
No shit, dude.
This is essentially GTA Online. Itta online that's the car i would
drive we have them i bet it costs like 12 million gta dollars yeah that's the fucking worst hey just
get the card oh there's the eye that uh I couldn't afford to film that for real,
this shot. What happened there? What was that?
Excuse me?
Okay.
Oh.
He just did, like,
18 grand's worth of damage.
He's just getting started. How did his bumper get back on?
Fuck that tree specifically
That must have been insane to time that shot
Mm-hmm.
You know, I gotta say,
I laughed at it initially,
but that guy is a dedicated killer.
Show the eye again.
Yeah.
He's my ex-boyfriend. I mean...
I told him it was over, but he won't take no for an answer.
He's useless can you imagine being in a a rural yugoslavian town and then fucking space cars with dudes with silver eyes just roll through one day
it would fuck the rest of your life up well i think you'd be like what is going on out there
that's how like tall tales like that's how like were'd be like, what is going on out there? That's how tall tales... That's how werewolves...
It's just stories about this stuff,
technology you've never seen before
that blows your mind in a way
where the whole country is different now.
Do you think this is how...
Do you think this is how Transformers started?
They tell stories and you can slivey about,
it was a bird,
but it was a car.
Oh, yeah, baby.
That's a fucking stunt.
The only thing we've seen him do as Condor Man, though, is almost drown.
Yeah.
That is true.
See, it's Transformers! Transformers!
Dude.
Take a chill pill.
God damn.
The gypsy truck turned into a race car i hate when that happens
oh he's covering the eye now He's tired after that blow.
Imagine how pissed you would be
if Condor Man kept fucking you over
and then you had to read comics about it.
Like, follow-up.
Look at him with his little S&M writing crop.
He'll give you a little spank.
You did a no-no.
You're a real bad spy boy.
A little stinker.
Bend over the table.
Do you think he spanked Borovich's eye out?
Do you think he spanked him so hard as I popped out?
Do you think he's committed to murder in the same way as everybody else?
Is that like a general thing?
Or is that like a squad?
Why are they climbing a mountain?
I guess they have to, is the idea, but it's just like...
Yeah, did that boat crash?
Yeah, did they run out of gas, or...
No, they were just in a boat.
Can it not reconvert back to a car after it's a boat?
Ha ha ha! boat how they can they built a car that's six different cars and didn't include a phone. How do they not have a phone?
They hadn't even dreamed up of that kind of technology yet
Crouch more
The police emo
She's just freshening up next to the dung pile hmm that dude's got a chin strap. but didn't he actually
kill a bunch of people
with his stick
yeah he also
blew a bunch of people
in cars up
by setting them on fire
he's killed at least
10 guys
yeah I would think so
at this point
it's pretty hot for a Disney movie yeah he's approaching Terminator 2 numbers He's killed at least 10 guys. Yeah, I would think so. At this point.
It's pretty high for a Disney movie.
Yeah, he's approaching Terminator 2 numbers.
How many double digit body counts Disney movies are there?
That's a great question.
Oh, man.
What kind of fucking joke parody character is this?
He's got one of those whips, too. It's actually Colin Farrell.
The prosthetics are amazing.
I didn't notice him for most of the movie. Oh, that's his friend, huh?
Oh my god, it's the guy he works with!
It's Harry!
You should always yell his real name.
You get real excited you should see what it turns into
how the fuck are all three of them gonna
sit in in two rows of a car
handcuffed
laughing rows of a car handcuffed.
Wait, are they still?
Why would they still be handcuffed?
Why wouldn't he undo the handcuffs?
Because people are watching him.
Yeah, man.
Look at all those eyes one lady walks
by that's it it's an empty village
can you imagine how fucking
great it must have been to be Michael Crawford
and this lady for the
three months they filmed this movie in some
of the most beautiful locations on
earth with zero
expectations of this movie be good yeah
really like zero expectations.
Do you think at any
point Michael Crawford
or anybody in this
film thought like
this is going to
make me?
That's like that
Fiat we drove to
Scotland, Gavin.
So we almost died
in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Gavin so we almost died in yeah you know he's Michael Crawford's kind of dressed like Shrek
you're right
there's a real Shrek feel to that
especially with all the hay and shit
there's no time there's no time
there's no time I don't understand.
He's got an eye patch on
because he doesn't want to draw attention
to his silver eye, I would imagine.
Yeah.
But if you don't want to draw attention
to your silver eye,
just don't get a silver eye.
I mean, don't you get a silver eye to kind of show it off
and be like, hey, I'm the silver eye guy.
Maybe that's just how it is.
Yeah.
Different time, I guess.
Yeah.
Probably sunglasses would have worked what
oh my god
if this fucking happens when Emily and I get married
you guys better not pull any condor man pranks at my wedding.
I'm calling no condor man pranks during my wedding.
We're doing this condor man speech word for word
in the middle of your ceremony.
Uncle Luigi. oh my god
everybody in this town hates each other I was just looking for an excuse Oh my god, the bitties! Oh, lady fight!
Everybody in this town hates each other.
I was just looking for an excuse.
This wedding was on the brink the whole time.
They're gonna settle some scores.
That kid is so happy.
That is the best fucking way to... Oh my god.
Zowie!
That is the best fucking way to... Oh my god.
Zowie!
Is he freaking...
Oh. I wish.
Comic books are so expensive now.
When is he having time to make these, though?
These are old.
He's a famous comic book artist. It's true
condor man would never do something this guy
wouldn't do in real life like cross the
alps these wipes are awesome
they're pretty jaunty wipes
yeah the angles
definitely interesting The angles. Definitely interesting.
How far are we into this?
70 minutes, roughly, of a 90-minute movie?
And we've had one scene of him in the condor suit.
I am shocked by the lack of condors.
It's the opening scene.
I think we saw more animated Condor Man
than him as Condor
Man.
These kids reading
Condor Man comics to.
This would have been a
way better movie if they
just cast Stanley as
Condor Man.
We've been there, G, dickhead.
You go feel it, buddy.
It's going to go in the bathroom
and feel it for a while.
Did he even bring the condor suit?
No.
He doesn't, like, have a bag.
The CIA will provide it for him when he needs it.
Where are they supposed to be now?
Swiss Alps, right?
Switzerland?
Yeah.
Thanks to climate change,
that area looks like the Saharan desert now, though.
It's a shame.
Fucking, is that laser lips?
Laser lips? Is that really laser lips? Laser lips?
Is that really laser lips?
What's her name? Laser lady?
Laser lady.
You're right.
All these little Swedish
American kids. Yeah, what do these Americans come for?
They've been written in English.
She's really hung up on the O.
The name. I thought she was staring at the A. she's really hung up on the oh the name
I thought she was staring at the a
you will not believe what I felt
I felt it I felt it
hard I felt it. I felt it. Arrgh.
Wait, is the last act conflict that she's in a comic and doesn't know about it? I don't know. go for boy
really
he's gonna disappear you don't go on that
walk he's going to disappear you. Don't go on that walk. He's dedicated to murder.
Should we?
All right.
I'm going to do some future prognosticating okay okay i
i'm envisioning a future where the face podcast is as successful as let's say joe rogan podcast
like that level where we've got our 100 million dollar deal and we're we're flying pretty high
right uh do you think we could at that point when we're that pretty high, right? Do you think we could, at that point,
when we're that successful,
recreate, like retrace the steps of Condorman
as content,
and just like follow his path throughout Europe?
Try to find all the locations.
You're picking like the least popular thing
that we could follow.
Like if you, like, oh oh batman like dark knight or something
at least that's popular that nobody is nobody knows what the fuck this is exactly and isn't
that the most face thing we could do but what about the comics we need to find the what if
we tried to recreate those like how comics are based in reality what if we made those comics
real yeah because to prove the thesis of the movie yes that
condor man would only do things that are doable in real life so then we have to do all the things
from the movie to prove that condor man was a true uh was up was a potentially possible film
what do you think the comics are just the movie and comic book form or are they completely
different stories i so i bought them but i didn't look into what exactly they are because I kind of want it to be a surprise.
Yeah, I can't find out.
Yeah, right.
We'll do it live.
Because if it's not the movie, if it is like The Adventures of Condor Man, that's insane.
I think it is.
I think it is.
That's what I would assume it would be.
I'll be so disappointed if it's just the movie.
I feel like there's no way it's not just the movie you think it'll be a comic book of the movie about a guy that writes comic books about what's happening in the movie with kids reading that
comic book yes now gavin you moved from a different country to amer. Was one of the main perks being able to read the Sunday funnies?
Was that one of the things that drew you to the U.S.?
Can you share her enthusiasm?
Were you reading Andy Kapp and going,
I gotta get over that old U.S. thing?
Oh my gosh.
Gotta go work in an American office like Kathy.
What's he wearing now?
It's his snow gear, man.
He looks like the bottom half of one of those
flappy car sales things.
He does.
This relationship is so fucking doomed
if you draw the line out. you think about like you know she
just had that moment where she's like well if woody is condor man and i'm laser lips and you're
whatever a gopher boy she now realizes she's gonna pick up the car she's gonna be like they're gonna
be married five years down the road and she's gonna pick up the comic and it's gonna be
fucking condor man talking to his buddy at the bar about what a bitch his wife is and how he just
wants to get away what a way to learn about an affair she's gonna find out he's having an affair and leaving her reading a comic one sunday morning
yeah that makes it easier it makes it less high wait they're only taking one why do they unpack one there's already one hanging there
oh my god what the fuck
i'm with gopher boy. I don't trust.
It's got.
It's got the brakes of a Schwinn bicycle.
It's a 12 speed.
Why is he pointing like this way? There one way you go one way there's no other path follow the path of the rockets taking you on
oh
so slowly how many pages of the Condor Man comic book
is this sequence
it's most of episode 2
it's volume 2
it's volume 2
it's gopher man okay
gopher boy
whatever his name is the gopher man okay gopher boy whatever his name is
the gopher
dude Romanoff is looking
no that's Romanoff
is looking fucking good
can you imagine if this movie just ended
with him killing all three of them
take the shot dad that movie's over Can you imagine if this movie just ended with him killing all three of them at the same time?
Take the shot! Dad, that movie's over.
Ah!
Oh, shit!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Oh!
God, you missed that! Oh! Oh no! I must have been losing my fucking mind
at six years old.
That was incredible.
I would love to see little me experience this.
Oh my God.
And what a great opportunity to pull out the wings.
I must have been so excited about ice cream at this point.
He got Condor Man crunched.
That was...
Yeah.
Oh, she's sad.
He's making a look at the body.
I told you I was dedicated to killing.
How did they do that?
How did they film that?
It's just there are like no tracks around them whatsoever.
It's just two perfect holes where they must have just dropped them.
That's pretty incredible.
Oh good.
He's fucking, he's beyond What if Harry just had an arm off?
Oh.
Oh. Oh no, she's in a nice place.
They're really torturing her.
Your punishment is to sleep in this gilded golden bed.
... he's gonna hit her with a chair imagine if he just never tried to save her and she found out because new issues a condor man kept coming out. so do you remember how this ends jeff uh i've remembered zero seconds of this okay uh that's
not true that's not true i remembered the eiffel tower part do do we think the condor suit will
appear again yeah i think it has i. I think it's going to appear.
How far into this are we?
Like 80 minutes?
75 minutes?
I think it's going to appear very soon.
If the condor suit doesn't knock out that dude's eye,
I'm going to be blue ballsed in two directions.
Maybe you should take a few minutes to go to the bathroom and feel things.
He's got an endless supply of sweaters are those
condor man ideas I think so
things that I know I can do
now yeah
uh-oh.
Oh, he's good.
What a relief.
Eric, whenever we want something for the show,
just say you have top-ranked clearance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That includes Fort Knox.
Yeah.
You got to add that part.
I have top clearance including Fort Knox
I feel like Fort Knox
was a really important thing
until like the mid 90s
and then everyone went
I think we're over this
yeah I think so
well we became
with the exception of Joel
everybody was kind of
got over the idea
of having to own
10 billion pounds of gold
to be wealthy
hey I'm not sure about pounds of gold to be wealthy.
Hey, I'm not sure about this section of the movie.
It's a lot of briefcases.
Those guys are all condor men on their next assignment.
I think... I think you might be right.
I think it's definitely Harry.
I'm hearing...
I'm feeling some definite Harry gopher man action.
You think that's them?
I think that's them.
Oh, I know a gopher when I see one.
Oh, I can sense a gopher.
His name is Jed Clampett.
And the younger man with him,
that's his cousin Jethro.
Very new money.
Oh, great trivia here about Oliver Reed.
One night after too many alcoholic drinks,
Oliver Reed tossed his tuxedo into the sea from a Monte Carlo hotel room. What's going on?
What?
What?
What the fuck?
What?
This is, uh, why it's not on disney plus then eh caesar's salads worth
oh god see do you think they tried to figure out how to edit this out and keep the movie i don't let's see when they could when they could have cut back in
yeah these feel like vince mcmahon characters to me oh big time
these guys are both going for the Intercontinental Championship.
That was great. Was that the most funny movie?
This movie needed way more of that slapsticky kind of stuff.
Yeah.
That's really funny.
The moments that had it were great,
but they were just too few.
Shame about every single other thing in that scene.
I like some of the flower arrangements.
God, they must have been on set for days dressed like this.
Oh god.
Oh boy.
Uh, beg my pardon, but I've been inside you.
This is so bad!
Oh!
Oh!
Choose love.
Jesus.
Fucking hell. this was uh this is essentially how they tried to get uh harry to go back into the woods at the end of Harry and the Hendersons.
It's true.
John Lithgow's like, nobody loved you.
Go away.
We hate you.
We hate you, Harry.
We don't want you here. That's heartbreaking. Is that code?
Yeah, was that... Did we miss something?
She's referencing the episode of Condorman,
the dip in Dostoevsky.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Ridiculous.
Jesus.
Nick, whenever he hears there's a condiment at the thing. Oh, fuck. Jesus. Ridiculous. Jesus. Nick, whenever he hears there's a condiment at the thing...
Oh, fuck!
Jesus! What? What?
Condor Man's racking up more of the body count.
Kill them all, Condor Man!
Let God sort them out!
It's the Disney way!
But first get changed, maybe.
Yeah, please. Yeah, please change.
We miss Woody. First get changed maybe yeah, please please change When this woody
Is he got the condor boots on oh man
right other side that is another very nice car
kilt
oh jesus
that was a good dive
yeah
you would be embarrassed for me.
History won't be kind to me.
For his like, you know, stop and go is like a lot of this movie is.
The stunts and car racing stuff and everything are awesome.
Yeah, really good.
Yeah, the cars, especially.
Oh, shit.
Wow.
They bought the shoe in it.
Oh, pull up the suit.
Wings! Do it! Wings!
Pull up the wings!
Oh, he's got the gloves! Do it!
Yes! Yeah!
Yes!
Dude, those gloves are just like kitchen gloves.
Yeah!
Imagine that this was the thing you saw you've never seen it before and this guy's like I got oh it's gonna put on the beacon glasses so we can cut back in
here if we do miss a little.
Hell yeah!
Fly, Condor Man, fly.
Holy shit.
How do they do that?
All practical effects, too.
Is he going to have an attack falcon?
I'd like to see him wind up.
Maybe we should start a competing company that's protected by condors
and compete against ourselves
So we're definitely a Birds of Prey podcast now
Alright, back out of the movie
Back in
It's all fine we're fine
good
it's rules look at that shot
it's amazing
banco de roma back out
yeah
dude
dude
how fucking cool
you're laying on top of what are you talking about
she'd have to literally jump off
this is all fine.
It's still good.
It's dicey, dicey.
And we're back out of the film. Yeah, better to leave this all out.
Yeah, we're going to cut this.
And... We are... And Harry's back, baby!
We're back, baby!
Who cares?
Yeah, it's rolling.
It's not your fucking car! Oh! No way!
Why?
You think that car is still at the bottom of that water?
You know they didn't have to clean shit up
as much in the 80s.
It's definitely still down there.
She held on for much longer.
His face.
Oh, that's helpful.
He's waving him in.
He's bringing it in like he's a fucking American Airlines 737.
Got an Ember Air coming
in for landing.
This is gonna
either look great or utter dog shit.
Oh, the little leg kicks too?
It was great.
Wow.
Why would you leave your wings?
Why?
CIA's got an unlimited budget.
He's got four knots at his disposal.
Definitely want to be safe though I thought he was going to bang his head on the visor.
That would have been a perfect Condor Man slapstick moment.
When we do our fan remake Condor Man 2024,
we're definitely going to ratchet up the slapstick.
Imagine if Batman
just changed out of his
suit and left it all
over a dock.
Oh yeah.
A condor boat.
These all feel like toys
that they never made.
Like we got to have the
car we got to have the
boat.
Oh that's a good point.
It's like this whole movie was made
for a happy male integration yeah
that thing looks like a
nightmare to be in
it is bouncing all over
the place
he can only answer the phone with his eye
out
it helps with the reception.
It starts as a Wi-Fi hot.
Yeah.
Oh, is it the five black boats?
Were they just there the whole time?
Are they always there?
Like, what was the...
How did this happen?
Finally.
What a miserable day of filming that probably was.
That's fucking cool. Hell yeah, look at this. That's awesome yeah look at this
that's awesome
this is beautiful
it's a genuinely fast boat
some genuinely good cinematography
I wonder where the condor boat is now
like someone must have that
it belongs in a museum I'll tell you that.
Why?
Oh.
What?
They got a condor gun.
What?
They got a condor laser gun.
Oh, dude.
Oh my god, he. Oh, my God.
He's killing so many people.
If he had that kind of laser technology the whole time,
I feel like he could have wrapped this up 45 minutes ago.
Without the use of his previous costume.
How come Laser Lady isn't shooting the lasers? That's a great point. 45 minutes ago. Without the use of his previous costume. Where's...
How come Laser Lady isn't shooting the lasers?
That's a great point.
If there was ever a time for Laser Lady...
Has she ever used or mentioned a laser?
No.
No.
Imagine staying at some Swiss resort
and seeing the shit on the lake outside.
Like, man, Monte Carlo's really got the shit.
Oh, God.
He's shot.
Oh, that's brutal.
Like a full-blown war movie.
Those dudes are melted to that boat.
Oh, that boat had a visibility spout.
We should try
or maybe a
comet leader would do it.
To go through and try to
accurately count Condor Man's body
count.
That stunt guy could have done
such a cool dive away from that explosion,
but he just plopped off
Like he was jumping into a pool
Fuck the shore
Laser
You know this was in 1981
Laser
Laser guns were so fucking popular back then
yeah here we are in 2023 and i don't i don't see army movies where army dudes
and marines are shooting lasers yet like what what's the fucking hold up
yeah lasers should come back we need more lasers
oh oh yeah i I split it. That was crazy
Oh
My god
He's killed like 35 zero moral cost on that murder at all
Can you imagine the
ecological damage that shot did?
Uh oh. It's the lasers of the general.
It's King Porsche.
Krokov's always hiding around somewhere.
That was a crazy shot.
Why?
They're getting soaked.
Krokov looks like one of the dudes on the... He looked with that helmet on. He looks like one of the dudes at the helm in Spaceballs.
Surrounded by assholes.
And dead fish Jesus
oh my god
oh no
oh no
yeah but they fucked up the sunshade
the sky lift
oh please tell me the boat has wings.
This boat can only turn right now.
This is just GTA.
You're absolutely right.
This is GTA Online.
We have done every one of these stunts in a Let's Play.
If he bounces off a wave and gets hooked, that's GTA.
Fucking Christ.
That's one of the things I'm most proud of.
Oh, damn. Now that's a dive.
That's a hell of a stunt.
Oh no!
Oh no!
Jesus!
Jesus the meatiest explosions
in any Disney movie
wow
I never saw that guy's eye pop out
all your friends are dead
Dodger Stadium
big Dodger fan
alright
look at him go
is condo man gonna fly down and land on the field
he would be a Dodgers fan
no kidding
he wrote into an episode last week that condo man
hit a home run now he's gonna make it happen
do you think Michael Crawford has any idea what the
dodges are do you think Michael
Crawford has any memory of making this movie
welcome
Natalia.
A.K.A. The Bear, A.K.A.
CIA.
Oh, USA, USA.
1981 World Series was Dodgers-Yankees.
This movie came out in August.
Oh, God. Do... Dodgers Yankees this movie came out in August do are we setting up Condor
Man 2
that's a good point
assassinate Condor Man
pack of cigarettes That's a good point. Assassinate Condor Man.
Pack of cigarettes. Cigarettes.
Oh, we'll have to wait and see.
Oh, we'll have to wait and see.
Where is Condor Man supposed to go?
I'll tell you where he's going to go.
He's going to go into the Condor Man fan fiction.
We start writing.
Yeah.
There are no credits.
No, they did at the front.
All the credits were front loaded.
It simply ended.
That.
Well, you know what?
First off, I was really nervous that this movie wasn't going to
it wasn't going to be as entertaining. It wasn't going to hold
up to the two phenomenal
films you guys already brought to the table.
But let me just say you're
welcome. Yeah, that was
awesome. A perfect
end to like our childhood trilogy.
I think that was fantastic. I totally
agree. So good that and that's a great way to put our childhood trilogy. I think that was fantastic. I totally agree. So good.
And that's a great way to put it. Our childhood trilogy.
There you go.
Well, did everybody eat all their
ice cream? Because it'd be a barely
soupy mess now. Yeah, no, it is
a soupy mess. Do you think Condor Man went to
Baskin Robbins? Do you think that's where the
it was the lead into the Condor Man crunch?
I would love to know how successful
that promotion was.
Gavin is just sending us clips of some mothers do have them.
Get a feel for the voice.
His accent.
What?
What?
Are you kidding me?
This is a mess.
It's Frank Spencer. this is a mess it's frank spencer frank spencer no way that's woody that's condor man baby
what a mess well uh jeff andrew gavin any parting words i can't believe going from that
to some others do i have him to the ph of the Opera. That might be the greatest range I've ever seen from one human man.
Pretty impressive.
Pretty impressive.
I'm glad that we got to celebrate the many talents of Michael Crawford today.
And remember what was a mostly bright moment in the history, in Disney's rich film history, with just about 12 minutes there that are a little less than stellar.
Well, I'm glad we did it.
Yeah, I'm glad we did it, too.
Thank you so much.
And I really appreciate y'all taking a trip down memory lane with me through my childhood.
Unfortunately, no monkeys, not a lot of Kung Fu, but we did have Birds of Prey and we are
a Birds of Prey podcast.
I have a question to you, though.
If this completes our childhood trilogy, what's next?
I mean, are we just going to try
and out-problematic your film?
No.
No.
Why would that be the angle we went?
We could.
Of all the choices,
why would we go there?
We could just keep going backwards
into Disney if you want to do that.
Oh, I'm out.
I don't want to do it.
Well, stay tuned.
We'll come up with something.
Bye.
We will. Bye. We will.
Bye.
