Do you mean Roy Scheider, as in Jaws and Blue Thunder? Kirk Douglas was the ship's CO.

The song was voted the "most awesomely bad song" out of 40 on VH-1. Kinda funny to watch actually.

Yeah, that's a funny juxtaposition. The guy in Final Countdown played the protagonist role in the TV version of Blue Thunder, whereas Roy Scheider played it in the Blue Thunder movie, but was not in Final Countdown. :D

We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell ?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?

It's the final countdown...

We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so.

OK, so all this talk about the movie and the large amount of time on my hands convinced me to go rent the movie. It was cool but I remembered what was going to happen part way through (because I saw it once a long time ago). Fun to watch, but not really worth owning...netflix is your answer...

That song is prominently featued in the film if I remember correctly.

BTW, the song is nowhere to be found. Too bad, I was looking forward to it!;)
