Extraordinary talent at work! I will never forget that magical first time watching "Superman: The Movie". That lighter than air feeling walking out of the theater.

We love you Chris Reeve. Really with a superheart 💓🌹

What it says is a classic was the pinnacle of modernity at that time And a typewriter at the time and telex was the equivalent of today's mobile phone every thing change

Kubla Khan Took the words outta my mouth. Man today everyone is so spoiled, a new superhero movie comes out every 4 months lol We're so used to cgi now that we're not impressed with anything. We take these huge production scenes for granted But back in the days of miniature, n practical effects it was a treat to see these. The epicness n sense of awe are pretty much gone. Not to knock on the new movies they are actually great for the most part.

Kubla Khan same here. Chris Reeve was always Superman to me. All the others are great but for me he was IT so to speak lol.

@@achrisofalltrades5620 I agree with everything you said except the new movies being great lol. I must admit I never gave them a chance though because I’m such a purist.

Absolutely!!!

Me too. The first two were epic. I didn't know much later about the crap that went on behind the scenes regarding the second film but it was still great.

I agree 💯💯💯

+Emmanuel Arce optical effects is a dying art sadly. They went through great efforts to make it look realistic without the aid of CG. These days even the best CG looks crappy compared to what they did back then.

George Reeves that is!

Fully agree.

Yes, though Brandon Routh has a extreme resembles to Chris.by the way , Brandon is good as Superman& the Atom( though he still can't replace Chris- no one can).

Robin Zander same

Christopher Reeve was Superman

It was also the fact of they way they made him fly that worked. They worked hard at it to make it right. And in those days it wasn't easy, I'll tell you that.

I know right this is why I was Soo damn glad I was born in the 80s

Still my favorite Superman movie.

🦸The best Superman movie ever! The S-Shield is the Kryptonian symbol for "HOPE"

I think he suffered from "Affluenza:" no one ever told him "no" or punished him for doing a bad job.

Thats so gay. But yeah....he was insanely good looking.

I agree 💯💯💯

Pretty cool. I work in that building today and the facade and lobby are landmarked and basically in the same condition.

RIP Dave Prowse,who was also "The Green Cross Code"man in the UK!

@@kevdoe3360 we had him visit our primary school which is a tiny wee village in the Scottish highlands and it blew my mind when he made his chest muscles bulge!

Oh stop being an old fart

Well, the Salkinds and Pierre Spengler wanted to just do a film but Donner was the one who wanted to make sure it was great art. They didn't get what Donner was doing.

@@sha11235, "Superman: The Movie" is a masterpiece. Watching this behind the scenes video is enlightening and entertaining.

This shows ugly whatever is called but it's ugly very ugly I don't turn this off you need to cancel what you doing

​@@sha11235I think the son loved superman it was his urging rich daddy & that creep spengler to finance w/ him he also wanted brando hackman donner etc. What's sad is id heard lester was already brought on as a threat since the salkans spengler threatened to fire donner all the time so they stopped speaking so how mature to make lester be the messenger. If I was him I'd be ashamed as another director. Anyway the last shot is bittersweet u see Chris & donner up front as they worked so so hard staying behind months to finish the effects plus reeve is a freaking kid yet bulked up 70lbs of muscle mass plus his acting & at his young age u see how mature he is & looks. Than u see lester grossly who did nothing standing in the shot right behind donner. What a horrible insult. While donner was there u did nothing!!! Just a go between for communication than u take the man's job! Ugh and seeing spengler who donner said really was the instigator & rat lol again the son I feel had to stick by daddy & his cousin spengler. How could these jerks come to set & not be impressed. Gene hackman the dad was probably complaining to about $$. They blew 6 million btw b4 donner even was hired on unusable effects.

The computers they had were designed to move the cameras in special FX work, I think, just like Star Wars.

Yea, and the zyoptic process was new when this movie started.

I agree 💯💯💯

He looked more like the comic book Superman than anybody else

AR John David Prowse (Darth Vader) helped Christopher Reeve get into shape for this role. Cool little tidbit!

Lotterydominator.col

Lottery

Yeah, it is "heirs". It's Terrence's accent that makes it sound like "ass".

But after Superman he kind of went off the deep end......

Correction it wasn't just 8 min as his part was cut shortly after release. I'd say 20 min or more was cut. Lots of people say I'm crazy but both me and my brother vividly remember seeing early in its release.

totally agree. He made no difference IF any to the movie -- ONLY his name.

@@Marjopolo302 You never saw the uncut version with Brando it was ok. Unless you saw it in the first few weeks of its release you saw the cut version.

My favorite thing was how he wanted go be Jor El as a talking bagel. Hollywood milked Brandi as they used his voice in 5 movies including Superman returns. He got top billing in this movie and was credited before Brandon Routh even though he was dead.

Reeve u idiot

fxp, heart-felt. Yeah, I know what you mean.

Then let's remain Hope-filled. It's certainly possible that Mercy and Truth may have arrived at the last possible moment.

fxp he STILL is but undoubtably IF the mutiverse exists he very well maY be? Highly probable???

fxp that’s is a great thought.

Leoncio Hernandez both now sadly deceased. RIP to both Kidder and Reeve.

@@RB747domme im sure there both in heaven right now having a drink together

fienga paul I didn’t know she passed away until I read your comment :(

@@johnb6850 yes she passed away very shortly after christopher did only lived another 17 months or so ..she died of lung cancer though she never smoked.. it is sad but also makes for a perfect story of a couple that really loved each other just think how happy they must be now together.

@UThink UCan Ah my mistake ty for the correction!

It's also harder with extras because you are mostly furniture, used when needed and you have no idea what they are shooting and why the hell they shoot it so many times. It's probably easier being more up the ladder because you can tell what is going on and you have more of a say in it and can have a good time.

Jaws.

Shane Hickenbottom superman 1 and 2 are the only movies worth remembering and you have to have gene hackman, being one of the greatest actors. They did use the 3 villians. Terence stamp is another amazing actor. General zod? Iconic.

The actor who played Non heard them of possibly bringing it to a total of 10 films.

Has he done a western? I'd like to hear his take on that, like Ennio Morricone for Clint Eastwood movies.
