A Child- Hood Memory From A Bygone Era!

There was a time when i was a kid, my mother used to rent some strange film's this was one of them, it's been quite a while since i've seen this and i only look forward to picking this up on DVD, What i can remember is The great Alan Arkin is Captain Invincible, and The alway's great Sir Christopher Lee, is his arch nemesis who with the aid of his sidekick, a Sock puppet of some sort, decide to take control of New York, The Return of Captain Invincible is seriously for Alan Arkin Fan's and Sir Christopher Lee( who in fact belt's out some sort of impromptu show-tune! Apparently George Miller of Mad Max, and that terrible pig movie 'Babe' had something to do with this curio, So that's All i can recall until i then watch this space for a much decent rating and review!
