Jon Anderson - Do You Want To Be A Hero (Biggles Theme)

[strade100]

I loved seeing this film for the first time!! So cool!! Wish I could do it again....

[barneyk100]

I read so many Biggles books as a child, walking down to the local library and talking with my dad. This was our christmas film, loved it

Peter Cushing a Great Actor.

2:30 Von Stalhein is a true badass - and has the flying helmet to match!

I would love to see a Spielberg / Bay / Lucas / Bruckheimer / modern version of "Biggles". no silly time travelling, but a real "Indiana Jones" type adventure.

There are enough original books to rival a bond francise.

With todays tech and good casting for our 4 heros. I hope someone would pick up on these stories.

@squeekdesk the interesting thing is this film WAS intended to be a rival to Indiana Jones. The film went into pre-production after Indy with that as the plan then Back to the Future came out and the studio decided to cram in the Time travel element. Looking at the plot it wouldn't of taken much to take out the time travel and make it a purely period film.

[squeekdesk]

Thanks, Recording engineer is, Studio music (sound track) recording.

[squeekdesk]

I was the recording engineer on this movie.

A few stories are involved, personality clashes and disagreements over 2 months of 24/7.

Now i plead. Do you have a DVD copy ?

I have it on VHS, but the VHS player has spent the last years being recycled..

[Retrovidz]

@squeekdesk Yeah I have it on DVD, you can get it very cheap in the UK, the aspect ratio of the DVD is 4:3 which is annoying but as I understand the film was shot 'Open Matte' and matted to a 16:9 ratio for the cinema so I did the same thing by ripping the film from the disc and created my own 'cropped' 16:9 framing as an avi file on my media PC.

So what's a recording engineer do then?

[squeekdesk]

Umm... I was the recording engineer on this movie.

A few stories are involved, personality clashes and disagreements over 2 months of 24/7.

[missypixie]

Always love Jon's vocals - seen the film a few times. Just <3 80's music.

[MrKayley10]

@missypixie Jon Anderson is the singer from Yes. It's the best band on earth.

[tylalagoo]

[Poltroon]

[SpudIllusionPictures]

Wow! great video! Thanks! I love this film!

[strade100]

brilliant!!



[mrcharlyasap]

Un autentico clasico! una de mis peliculas favoritas. La vi por primera vez cuando tenia unos 8 años. Gracias a Internet he conseguido recuperarla.

[SPeacock]

This should be the official video for the song :)

[fenianfranko]

yes well done man.love Biggles and it annoys me I cant get this tune ANYWHERE

[leofroop]

Yeah i agree, nice one!!

[COLUFAN1]

Excellent work Retrovidz!

I love this film, a simple storyline and action from the start and the theme tune is quite good too.

[SPeacock]

@COLUFAN1 You're right. Most films nowadays try to be too "complex" and fail in telling what could be a great story more often than not. I like this film because of it's simplicity and to-the-point plot :)
