Is this the movie with the theme lyrics (at the end) going something ike;

“They let me drive again, I feel alive again, they let me drive again”?

Also, I seem to recall a line about the fact that if the Japanese had won the war, they wouldn’t be having a problem with instruments failing.

As a teenager about 20 years ago, I had a movie on VHS, taped from telly which may have been this movie. I’d love to clear up the mystery as I’ve sometimes wondered whether I could find this movie again.

correct on both points it is the very same movie

You can get it on E-Bay where I bought my VHS copy a couple of years ago.

You are correct about the ending music but I don’t recall the other quote although there are so many great quotes in the film!

Don’t know, but a great film, one of Donalds best and a tour de force performance from the late Peter Boyle. Highly recommended!
