My favorite Superman Take-off. He's in a rush.... Flies through the concrete..Flys up and gets his bearing and turns toward the missle. This scene was so EXCITING when I first saw it as a boy. I am now 53 and I still get goosebumps. Thank you Christopher Reeve... You made me believe a man could fly.
He portrayed the character so perfectly. The way he tenderly touches her face when she says why she can't find a God guy. You can see the compassion. ❤ He will forever be my favorite super hero
Maybe she sucks at looking then. If there are plenty of women who are good enough to guys, then there should be plenty of guys who are good enough to women.
I think what made Reeve so unique was he was Clark first and Superman second, if that makes any sense. Even when he switched into Superman he maintained the earnestness, innocence and naivete in seeing things in black and white (for the most part). He really played the role as if he was a big wholesome boy inside a man's body. And of course he topped things off with the right look, physique, mannerisms, voice, everything. The biggest problem the Cavill movies have is that you have a moody, conflicted Superman and that's just not who Superman is supposed to be. I guess times change and our values change affecting our movies. But in my view, Superman and what he stands for should never change.
this is one of my favorite scenes in all of superman films. It just had a perfect build-up of excitement between the scene and John WIlliam's score. We couldn't WAIT for Supers to bust out of there and stop Lex's missile!!!
Shiwanker Bantawa Rai Superman has to be careful based upon his gravitational vibration, because he can set the rocket off in mid air explosion, that’s why he had to correct his timing in this scene to be able to catch up with the rocket and time the speed or else detonation, because Superman’s top speed is beyond speed of light, the same as Flash.
This scene was so badass, love how he busts thru concrete and immediately turns heading west as night falls on the east coast, no matter there will still be 3 hrs of daylight left to save California
Miss Teschmacher couldn't take it anymore when she was watching the world fall a part without Superman's help including her mother who lives in the same city.
Ive always loved her character, she's cute and is actually a kind character. It's so cute how she's always secretly rooting for superman behind lex's back
@@victortaylor7737well obviously since she kissed him she had so wanted to kiss him a long time ago and was happy when given the opportunity sorry im 3 years late
Whe I was a little kid I was convinced that Reeves was really Superman. But, damn it! He looked like Superman and he acted like Superman!. My apologies to Henry Cavill, because he's so good acting as the new Superman, but Reeves was Superman.
Henry Cavil's contribution to the cinematic version of Superman is that he is the first one to actually be built like the comic book Superman. Brandon Routh, Dean Cain, Tom Welling all added something to the role as well, but the champion was Christopher Reeve.
So many real life Teschmachers that it's sad to think about them. Broken upbringings perpetuate their broken choices unless a miracle... or a Superman, happens.
Henry Cavill was very good at playing Superman..Christopher Reeves was great at playing both Superman and Clark Kent. Still my favorite movie of all time. Superman: The Movie 1978
0:20 Though that this kiss ended costing the life to Lois Lane, because if Teschmarcher would took away earlier the necklace, than wasted the time kissing him, Superman won't lost this valuable seconds, that would allowed him saved Lois just in time, without need to reverse the time.
Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors in cinema's history .. his mighty role as the evil "Lex Luthor" in Superman gave this film his greatness & made it one of the best films ever.. Even with presence of great actors like the late Christopher Reeves & nedd beity
It wasn’t until the last time I watched this movie that I actually realized the _only_ reason why there’s two missiles is because Otis screwed up the first one 😂
No one plays clark kent/ superman better than Christopher reeve he is and forever will be superman rest in peace long live the late great Superman Christopher Reeve
@@shelbyvillerules9962 Oh, no, really? I hate to hear that. I hate how aging affects so many negatively. It's one thing to get old and simply pass from life due to the natural aging process, but it's another thing to have to battle illnesses/diseases on your way... Praying for her to have so much love and care in her life...
A woman takes advantage of a weakened Superman, lays him down and plants an unconstitutional kiss on him for absolutely no reason at all other than her own lust, feminists don't panic. But when the prince tries to wake up Snow White from a coma with a kiss, feminists lose their minds!
Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order and everything becomes chaos....maybe Otis should have rescued Superman and stolen a kiss from him in his weakened state.
I was a pup when this movie came out and I must've watched the whole thing with my mouth open. I thought it was one of the most amazing movies ever. Donner is certifiably one of the Knights of the Action Cinema Round Table. Watching it now as a grown-up Gene Hackman's one-liners and casual cruelty are hilarious! He was made for this role. And I think if Perrine and Kidder would've switched roles the movie wouldn't have missed a beat.
This was also a very expensive tentpole blockbuster. Realistic effects just aren’t feasible on a CW level budget for any show. Just look at Watchmen on HBO, which was a prestige show with an HBO budget. We didn’t get much in the way of effects, period. And when we got Dr Manhattan, it was a guy painted blue in a latex skullcap.
0:34 why did she 😘 him for no reason? 1:22 Superman flying to San Andreas. 2:05-2:07 bad idea to hold the nails in your mouth. 2:11-2:31 to infinity and beyond! 3:01 😆
Even though the Effects are outdated, something about watching it still look and feel amazing as it holds up even in 2023 compared to the CG like in the Flash Movie which was terrilbe
This was yet another excellent scene of such a beautifully made movie. I assume that Superman had difficulty & took too much time to catch the first missile (making him too late to get the second one) because he'd been weakened by the Kryptonite. It took lots of good ol' healthy yellow sun exposure time for him to regenerate to his full Einsteinian time-reversing speed. A good long cry over Lois' dead body in the hot desert sun did him a world of good. On a trickier note, we'll all have to overlook the goof that if it was nighttime as he left Metropolis, it would not have suddenly been daytime in the desert, to the west... far enough into the daytime for Lois to drive until she was out of gas and for Jimmy to tour the dam. Details, details.
1:33 - I swear Jerry Seifeld wore that same style of helmut that those guys at the monitors are wearing. In fact their entire costume is similar to the one Jerry wore during the famous "chessmatch" scene. Being a huge Superman fan, I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry bought one of those helmuts and used it in that scene.
She said why can't I get it on with a good guy? ...... As long as vision of a superman regardless of how time wants to change the image you will be there lives and you will be for 🇺🇸
Because he needs to be extra careful to approach the missile in the right angle to prevent his hair style being messed up by the hot air from that huge hair blower. Orbiting around the earth does not have such concern, because it is empty space out there.
In the TV cut, they show that the missiles have a new "avoidance system" that will thwart any attempt to shoot them down....Superman looks in awe as the missile comes right to him and then swerves to avoid him. While this is a cruise missile, the footage of the missiles being launched was taken from a Minuteman rocket launch at Andrews Air Force Base...the Minuteman is an ICBM, meaning instead of traveling parallel with the ground, it flies high into the air and then releases its MIRV warheads which have their own targeting system so the missile can hit multiple targets.
In the MAD magazine parody, Luthor shows Superman the Kryptonite and says, "What's the matter, 'Stupidman'? Feeling a little weak in the knees?" and Superman says, "Yes...and the broad in the bikini isn't helping any!"
Otis: Wait, aren't you even gonna watch Superman? He could get away. Lex Luthor: No no no, I'm going to leave Superman alone and not actually witness him dying, I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. What?

Looking back on it now, going after the Hackensack missile first was actually the right decision. Ground zero for a potential Hackensack missile strike and explosion would've definitely been more densely populated than that inside the San Andreas Fault. No way Supes would've prevented casualties in that scenario, outside of the time-reversal maneuver.
