Yeah, someone who does a decent amount of weightlifting could do that to many historically accurate swords. Depending on how sharp it was and if his grip was strong enough to keep it from sliding in his hand.
Loved this show, back in the day. To this day, other than Christopher Reeve, I can't picture anyone else as Superman, Dean Cain was great casting and Terri Hatcher as Lois, perfect.
I like how Christopher Reeve and Margot kidder as well as having good on screen chemistry aren't too good looking. They're both picked for how they are in their roles rather than being perfect looking. They're both 8/10 good looking but not picked mainly for their looks. The later supermans and lois lanes are perfect looking and the screen chemistry isn't as good. It's almost like they've just been picked for being that good looking and having some resemblance to how they should look rather than the chemistry you get with Christopher and Margot is my point.
@@Badgerlust Bullets heat up to a couple hundred degrees when fired. It's from both the gunpowder burning, and the friction between the bullet and barrel.
The best line he ever said to Lex was "All you need to do is to look up", Lex was proud he had the tallest building in Metropolis but Superman was always above him.
Which just proves how arrogant Superman is, and what αn azzh0le he is. Just think of Superman's arrogant reaction when Captain Marvel introduced himself for the time in JL:TAS.

@@mustang8206 Not really. I know it's also garbage, but it's still better than taking Superman 100% seriously like with the new movies. Just darkening the hues of his suit doesn't cut it. The concept has always been fun and ridiculous. I prefer obvious sets, cheap SFX, and comedic delivery. Or, if you're going to attempt a more serious portrayal, animate it like Superman TAS. You have to make a whole world where something like Superman makes sense. It will 100% fail if you just try to shoehorn the last Kryptonian into the real world. Well, Smallville was pretty good, but they never put him in the suit. Just my humble opinion.
I love the fact they included the tiny detail that the bullet would still be hot enough to burn Luthor's hand when Superman handed it to him. The quiet "HA-HA!" and dropping it immediately was a nice touch...
Always amazes me how when you quickly screw in a screw and then take it out, it's hot like, when did it have time to heat up? How does heat exist in the first place? Heat isn't a molecule or even an atom, more like how an atom behaves but they aren't influenced or even touched, just pushed aside. So essentially heat is just a change in pressure, the more compact an object becomes in a short time, the hotter it is and the less compact it becomes, the colder it is. Huh... with that in mind, how can we shrink and expand air using everyday objects
Actually, this particular version of Lex is an adrenaline junkie. If anything, _Luthor_ is super hard right now. -I mean, Superman could be too, but you know.-
There was a scene, not sure the episode or even if it aired, when he was on the phone with a cigar yelling at someone, some of the ash dropped on his hand so the yelling was genuine but he still kept in character and was praised for the acting. He wasn't acting. He even reportedly checked himself into a psych ward as Luthor to be diagnosed.
Check how he dealt with Joker when he decided to go to Metropolis for fun. Specifically what he told him. Also when he told Darkseid about the cardboard world he's living in.
Love the little extra not only did he catch the bullet, he mashed it in his fingers and then handed it to him. I mean catching it was enough but those little extra things make the scene so much better.
Never ending battle is one of the best lois and clark episodes: This scene is boss ❤. And the look on Lex's face when bullet stops inches from his chest is hysterical 😂
Oh, yeah! Closest we've also had is Injustice, and that's thanks to Joker making him kill Lois and thus destroying Metropolis, with the guilt he felt about his hand at it.
He played A good Luthor...but Rosenbalm, man, he WAS THE LUTHOR! I just never cared for the "debonair, fancy lady's man" Lex of Lous &Clark season 1. Luthor is before anything else a THUG in every version. This guy never felt threatening to me until he went bat shit insane during that whole clone mess... i also didn't think Lex would kill himself insteD if going to prision...Prision is where he has time to THINK and come up with the best escape and revenge plans ever! the show Superman and Lois' Lex they just introduced... now THAT'S LUTHOR!

@@ctrlaltdelete200390 so, Superman media was at an all time high by the time Lois & Clark was being made: the comic book was rebooted and gave Superman his more well known and now standard powers (and got rid of his more obscure ones), cartoons were being made, etc, it was just a really good time to be a Superman fan. The comics had progressed to a point where Superman and Lois were in a relationship, and lead to Clark proposing to Lois and she accepted. At this point, the writers were planning to make the next round of stories for the following year to lead up to the two characters have their wedding. This was when Lois & Clark was being written and filmed. Now, one of the writers in particular (I can’t remember his name for the life of me) always started their meetings with the same suggestion every single time: “LET’S KILL HIM OFF!” And the other writers would basically say, “That’s very nice. Here’s a cookie, go sit in the corner, the grown-ups have to work now,” and from there they’d proceed to make scripts for the rest of the year, etc. The writers submitted their plans and what they wanted to do, but the higher ups interfered and told them not to do it; they wanted to wait until Lois & Clark built up enough momentum to where they’d have their own wedding, and cash in with their own wedding story. This was a problem for the writers because their whole plan was the wedding, and they didn’t have any ideas at that point. Cue the aforementioned writer with his usual, “LET’S KILL HIM OFF!” And the rest of the writers admit that they weren’t sure if they were desperate, fatigued, frustrated, or what, but after that suggestion they all looked at each other and said, “…Yeah…LET’S KILL HIM OFF!” And from there, they wrote the Death of Superman.
@@JGUSMC7 The slicked back hair was interesting, giving him an air of artificiality, while Clark Kent's hair was natural, suggesting that was his real personality, and Superman was the disguise.

@@craigrussell3062agreed and John Shea definitely looked like Gene Hackman, and a few years later he went on to star in a tv series called Mutant x based on the x men pretty much.
This showed superman's human side. He seemed angry here, like he was beginning to lose his patience. Yes, he was willing to shoot Lex, but only to prove a point. The fact that he instantly caught the bullet reminds us all that he's still Superman, and his morals will always supercede his abilities.
Writers for Superman never forget to depict how people constantly try to take advantage of and bully good men like him. It doesn't even matter that he's literally fucking Superman, some people will STILL mistake his kindness for weakness.
We didn't realize it at the time. But this was one of the best iterations of live action Supermen. We didn't know this would be the very LAST time he would wear his fully comic accurate costume in live action either.
'Does that conclude your demonstration?'
'Do you wanna know how HARD I am, Luthor?'

And the other writers would basically say, “That’s very nice. Here’s a cookie, go sit in the corner, the grown-ups have to work now,” and from there they’d proceed to make scripts for the rest of the year, etc.
The writers submitted their plans and what they wanted to do, but the higher ups interfered and told them not to do it; they wanted to wait until Lois & Clark built up enough momentum to where they’d have their own wedding, and cash in with their own wedding story. This was a problem for the writers because their whole plan was the wedding, and they didn’t have any ideas at that point. Cue the aforementioned writer with his usual, “LET’S KILL HIM OFF!” And the rest of the writers admit that they weren’t sure if they were desperate, fatigued, frustrated, or what, but after that suggestion they all looked at each other and said, “…Yeah…LET’S KILL HIM OFF!” And from there, they wrote the Death of Superman.
I’d like to know how this show led to “The Death of Superman” too.
I'd also like to know how this led to the Death of Superman comic.
Crickets! I call bullshish on your analysis of these depictions. Death of Superman, my arse!!!
Superman shooting Luthor then catching the bullet is the best reflexes I've seen
"Superman, that was a priceless sword that was used to conquer half of Europe and Asia. I'm suing you for the damage."
I would watch this show every Sunday night on ABC. Fun show, great chemistry between Teri and Dean especially.
Incredible chemistry, they always put a smile on your face.
Dean Cain don't get enough props, he was a good superman
Doesn't
I was always a fan of the slicked back hair superman
Yeah, my mother and I were big fans of Lois and Clark, but or favorite TV Clark will always be Tom Welling 😊
@@evisule84hahaha, nice one 👌🏾
@@JGUSMC7 The slicked back hair was interesting, giving him an air of artificiality, while Clark Kent's hair was natural, suggesting that was his real personality, and Superman was the disguise. Christopher Reeves' Superman was the opposite: Clark Kent had the slicked back hair while Superman's was natural, suggesting that was his real personality, and Clark Kent the disguise.
Superman shooting Lex Luthor but catching the bullet a 1/2 second before impact Outstanding demonstration
That’s basically everyone when they just got superpowers and can’t wait to demonstrate it to someone.
This is the superman I grew up watching. It actually felt like superman to me, and Lois Lane was so beautiful.
So criminally underrated, for both portrayals.
😑🙄🔥
Not white not white not white not white not white not white not white not white
Best Clark Kent in my opinion. Despite the hair the best live action portrayal of Lex.
Luthor is baller as fuck to compose himself quickly enough to ask, "Does that conclude your demonstration?"
You wanna know how big i am? “Zip” “Bgm starts”
"so those tights DO compensate for something."
Does that conclude your demonstration ?
The pistol demonstration was next level
Absolute menace for that one mf knew he could’ve caught the bullet sooner too
I’m not sure if Batman would be proud of that or not
My favorite Superman. Just a great memory from childhood.
Good news The Actor is a policeman now a real Hero in Blue.
Could you imagine if Superman just made random visits to your house to bully you like this 😂
Dean Cain was great at Superman when he was a pissed Superman. I loved that he didn't let Lois get away with her crap either. He was the best of both worlds. A non simp Superman! Love it!
Facts
And now he's a Trump supporter to top it all off
@@philrivers7533 Makes sense. He is all for liberty and people of all creeds, instead of corrupt politicians and liars who shroud themselves with fancy words and platitudes.
I like him even more because he actually stands for the things Superman does
Ok I hope you're all trolling me because I used to love Dean Cain. He's my favorite superman. Don't make me hate him.😢
This is the superman I watched growing up
Lol i remember he was running up the stairs while changing into super man. If i remember correctly. There was one to with a elevator Clark goes in super man comes out
Pretty sure I seen this live with my folks and younger sibs.
Maybe the only tv shows we treated as a weekly movie...popcorn treats etc and everyone present.
Only time the "same bat time" nonsense actually applied
For me it’s Christopher Reeve all day. I was already grown by the time this came out.
Me too
@@jnnx
What happened to reeves was so random and unfortunate. I grew up at the tail end of his tenure and dean caine ended up being just as memorable to me just with the amount of time. Imho lois and clark was the best live action super hero series in 40years.
John Mulaney voice:
“Is that Dean Cain?”
The hubris of that look Lex gave at the end, as if to say, "Well I've got more..." when he literally could get vaporized by the guy he's antagonizing. 😂
I was disappointed they didn’t include this show in the flash multiverse scene. Loved it when I was younger and was robbed of the conclusion for the cliffhanger when they cancelled the final season.
Probably didnt want to include Dean Cain as he is an outspoken Christian Conservative who supports Trump
@@GCEXTREMEMN oh no they didnt include him in their woke bomb starring a retarded criminal. what now?!
@@GCEXTREMEMN exactly, they would rather defend the pedo "they them" cultist nut job violent criminal.
and they wonder why no one wants to pa to see that crap....
@@GCEXTREMEMN BS. He was on Supergirl. They didn't have him play Superman again because he wasn't in shape for it and they couldn't afford the CGI.
He said "probably". @alphanerd7221
I like to imagine there's no context or lead up to this scene. Clark just shows up in a random guy's living room and says "you wanna know how strong I am?"
Superman flies out the window, Luthor hears a muffled sound next door “You wanna know how strong I am Johnson?”
Supes did say Luthor, Implying not a random guy
"Do you want to know how fast i am?"
*Climaxes*
He looks like he'd have made a good Ultraman.
I love this show. When it aired i would beg my parents to stay because it was past my bed time. This series is absolutely top tier live action superman
same. I'd make sure there was nothing my parents could nitpick why I couldn't watch it, then it was straight to bed
The look on Luther's face as Superman aims the gun at him......this show was good.
The flash holds the gun to luthor's head and says, you wanna know how fast i am.
Not only is he strong, but amazing at mimicking all kinds of sounds.
Me: Who is your favorite Superman?
Comment section: Lois Lane.
This show ranges from meh to good, but Teri Hatcher is definitely the best actress ever to play Lois. John Shea's Lex is up there too.
@@craigrussell3062agreed and John Shea definitely looked like Gene Hackman, and a few years later he went on to star in a tv series called Mutant x based on the x men pretty much.
And the writers *KNOW* that.
@@craigrussell3062 not for me but she looked it.
That bullet scene was actually dope
Superman pissed off walking towards me would make me soil myself.
"Want to know how strong I am?"
*proceeds to do 90's strongman semifinal event
'Sir, I just wanted to know what you wanted from Wendy's "
"Superman... This is a Wendy's"
Superman at Waffle House be like
No this is Patrick..
"Wendy's, huh? Sounds like you wanna know how *HARD* I am?..."
My favorite superman. But then again this was my generations superman so I'll admit I'm biased. Best Lois hands down.
Good god😢😢😢
And one of the best Lex Luther's too.
What movie is this?
@@connormcgettigan7288Lois & Clark tv show. A bit cheesy but a ton of fun
@@SirGambitRocks thanks man, I'll definitely give it a peep
"Does that conclude your demonstration?"
"...Do you want to know how MAD I am?" *aims gun again*
Superman: you wanna know how hot I can make you Luther?
Luther: wait what?
Heat vision.
That show definitely had the hottest Louis Lane 😍
Lois.
LMAO "Louis Lane".
@@mikeawesome9212 oh shit i just realized 😳 lol. Heck yeah Louis is so perdy
What's the show name
@@siran804 The Adventurers of Lewis and Clark!
Everything about this show was terrific! Even Luthor's Butler was awesome!
Nigel/Tony Jay was a superb villain!
Absolutely loved this show. I think a rewatch is in order!
I think he voiced a large number of the Disney animated villains too! Perfect Shere Khan voice
@@davehumphries7635yep shere kahn in talespin and jungle book 2 and frollo in hunchback of notre dame, he was in other disney stuff too
@@davehumphries7635he was also Megabyte on Reboot
Ah yes. This brings me back to the days when my grandma would watch this in the morning 🥰
"Kal-el, great take, just excellent stuff...but the line was 'You wanted to see me Luthor?' "
Without the context this looks like superman just got drunk and is showing off😂
This showed superman's human side. He seemed angry here, like he was beginning to lose his patience. Yes, he was willing to shoot Lex, but only to prove a point. The fact that he instantly caught the bullet reminds us all that he's still Superman, and his morals will always supercede his abilities.
Writers for Superman never forget to depict how people constantly try to take advantage of and bully good men like him. It doesn't even matter that he's literally fucking Superman, some people will STILL mistake his kindness for weakness.
Superman: wow this gun feels nice. Imma use this every day.
We didn't realize it at the time. But this was one of the best iterations of live action Supermen. We didn't know this would be the very LAST time he would wear his fully comic accurate costume in live action either.
This version of Lex Luthor was great
Most underrated and unappreciated!! Imo he was better than Rosenbaum
