    I used to work as security on Hollywood Boulevard, I used to know this guy, We had a situation at a theater I worked at with our client, the client had their bag stolen from them and we were in hot pursuit to catch the thief, low and behold, this guy spotted the thief and we caught him. His quote to which he told our team (to which we all laughed it off.) was "at least Superman was here to save the day!" I will never forget that... Rest in peace Hollywood Superman you where a hero to us, and my team.

    Man, I don't know why, but the story of Hollywood Superman hit me as particularly tragic. Feels like the story of a man who tried as hard as he could to do the right thing, but completely lost control of his life, and it caught up to him just as he was starting to regain that control. I also feel terrible for his girlfriend, I can't imagine what it's like to not only find the person you love dead, but in the circumstances she did.

    Wow, the Hollywood Supes was definitely a really depressing one, it started out with those nods to Superman on the Mega Drive and even Superman 64, but by the end, as the story progressed, it definitely took a much darker turn than I expected, and sadly, this happens alot in LA but Chris definitely had the Man of Steel gig going for him, and they say that no one can relate to the Big Blue Boy Scout. It may be years since it happened, but may God rest his soul.

    You know, the Hollywood Superman story is very tragic. I could forgive him even if the campaigns are technically scam for drugs or the mugging incident was made up.
    First, the goal isn't that big of a deal and for such a small value, physical rewards aren't to be expected. Second, judging from his routine, I could see his desperation and depression.
    Finally, even though both cases are true, he still fulfilled partly of his wishes of making tens of thousands of souls happy and entertainment. I pray for him and his girlfriend's peace.

    The ballast tank is also used to balance watercraft that are made of steel and thus very heavy. They work a tad bit like those oil and water things that continually tip back and forth that are a desk toy that was popular in the 80s, except this is with water and air. I worked on an aircraft carrier which had a system of 4 interconnected tanks at corners of the ship. They also help to stabilize hard and fast turning. In a submarine, it also keeps the vessel upright by using gravity.
    Anyway, that's the layman's explanation. I don't know much more than that, I was a radar tech!

    I hope he's resting in peace if there is an afterlife, most addicts don't choose addictikn over a good life. When life hits you hard, drugs help, then it's a slippery slope and it's all down hill from there. It's a massive struggle getting over active addiction. It sounds like he was addicted to the superman gigs as well. RIP Chris

    Hey Slopes, just wanted to say that I think that Superman did have a dream he was working towards, it's very unfortunate that the money got abused, but life and death hold some unbelievable cards and I for one , am not going to judge when I wasn't on hand, and in person. God bless his heart and soul

    I have a critique here. I like the idea of collecting older stuff into videos like this but your opening bit is really vague about it. It makes it come off like you're trying to sell this as wholly new content which I doubt you were intending. I think you should make it a bit clearer what these videos are at the start.
    Otherwise keep up the good work man. Looking forward to those upcoming videos.

    The thing that I feel was passed over or missed in this video is that "The Hollywood Superman" was severely mentally ill. He had harassed the mother of Christopher Reeve to try and get her to admit he (Christopher Dennis) was actually her illegitimate child. He had also gotten in trouble tons of times for yelling at, harassing, and generally acting like a person on meth towards tourists. So, as sad as his story is, he wasn't just some tortured artist battling demons. He was a sick man, who through drugs and hard living ended up seriously deluded and even violent (especially if you dared tell him that he may not actually be related to Christopher Reeves). Still a tragic story, and tragic that he wasn't committed, and helped to get well.
