i do honestly feel a little bad in looking up the answer as it's deprived us of an endless stream of early eighties films we thought we'd forgotten about and many we wished we had, but your clue narrowed the choice down too much..

 

interesting trivia topic though - got any more ?

I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath when that movie came out. I went to London to see it. Loved the movie. Best transformation scene ever.
