Condorman

A shy, inventive toy designer named Woody Wilkins is given a chance to become a real-life secret agent when he's tasked with delivering a package from the CIA to a contact in Istanbul. Using his unique, often outlandish, gadgetry, Woody, now codenamed Condorman, finds himself in a deadly game of cat and mouse with a ruthless KGB agent and his henchmen. He must rely on his wits and his self-designed 'Condor' costume to survive and complete his mission.

Condorman was met with a largely negative reception from critics, who found its plot nonsensical and its humor weak. While some acknowledged the visual inventiveness of the gadgetry, the film was generally seen as a misguided attempt at a spy comedy, failing to capture the charm of its inspirations. Audience reception was similarly lukewarm, with many finding it forgettable.

• A silly and poorly executed spy spoof.
• Relies too heavily on dated humor and uninspired action.
• Visually interesting gadgets can't save a weak script.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a mixed to negative reception, with many finding the film's attempts at humor to be stale and the plot to be unengaging. Some viewers recall enjoying the unique gadgets and Michael Crawford's performance, but these aspects were not enough to garner widespread praise.

The film's elaborate 'Condor' costume, complete with wings and a jet pack, was designed by Disney imagineer Pierre M. Pilon, who also worked on attractions for Disneyland.
