Chris, Im an astrophysicist and throwing all of Earths nuclear weapons into the Sun wouldn't do anything.... Actually Im just a shit head who makes RUclips videos. Thanks for letting me join in on the Hilariocity review!
@@LuizBarrosPoa, more important while discussing cutting the strand of hair with bolt cutters, how the fuck did his parents cut his hair, and how does superman shave?
For all its shortcomings, we must acknowledge that "Superman IV: The Quest For Peace" exposed failures in DC's logic concerning the Kent foster parentage of Superman. How did the Kent's manage to cut Clark's hair all those years? I mean, they would have needed kryptonite scissors or something. All I can think of is Ma Kent going to cut her adopted son's hair only to see him lapse into epileptic fits in the process.
+Magnus Nygaard i was about to say that, he really don't know about science, every nuclear weapon on earth exploding wouldn't make a dent to the Sun, even throwing the entire earth into it wouldn't do shit.

Hey Chris, if you're wondering about the effect of throwing all the nukes into the sun, because of the size of the sun and it's temperature, the nukes would juts fissle apart and nothing would happen
II iii Don't know about that. Given what we know now on how crazy nature can be, All nukes at once could cause a disruption starting from top to inside, something not noticeable right away, What if it changed the location of sun spots or laid ground work for solar storms to build and pull reserves from the excess energy, What if the sun got disrupted and later on shot a SUPER massive SOLAR flare at us later on years even.. It's not about the size or the fact that they would fizzle away , It's about disruption, Like dropping a stone in the ocean that causes ripples down the line. Therefore because of the ripple effect. I'd say lets not.
You guys vastly underestimate the size and power of the sun. The sun actually IS one gigantic perpetual nuclear explosion. Even if all of the weapons detonated at once, literally nothing would happen. We would not even be able to see any change in light from the sun even with the best telescopes. Even if every single nuke on earth went off at the same time and place, the planet itself would not be damaged. Just a short mini ice age, nasty fallout for a few hundred years, and a big crater. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs delivered tens of thousands times more explosive power than every single nuke on earth, and yet it is only the size of a mountain. The sun is simply so incalculably large and powerful that even the entire planet crashing into the Sun would have almost no effect on the sun's activity, integrity or longevity.
@@jsbaldo5556 nah it would be like a mosquito biting an elephant. They would just dissolve, the sun is so massive. These are like firecrackers in a massive bon fire or a fraction of that.
@@dannydemonic4799 that’s why I said if it was every nuke at once and one Nuke is equal to the heat of the sun, if this hits the inner layer which is a lot cooler , a chain reaction can occur and this is more likely if EVERY NUKE was launched, also each nuke can be different in blast radiance and size of blast, given that radiation is also present slightly different when manufactured in different ways and with more components than the sun which yea also has radiation not including other elements present in each Nuke, you HAVE TO CONSIDER that nature is delicate and any disruption is bad to natural processes, and since each can have an equal or OPPOSITE reaction the risk of throwing things off is greater than you would think, we also have to think about solar flares and build up, the energy doesn’t just dissipate, it spreads and is also released outward and a solar flare containing new elements the sun is not used to admin pressure , composition, etc, is far far more than a mosquito bite, IF and only if a solar flare was released right away due to the reaction it could cause extra momentum to reach earth with more devastation than If it was 1 inch radius less , we’ve barely missed them before on this line, so consider we can’t know for sure, the amount of Nukes and most importantly.. nature is Very very delicate if the balance is thrown off by even a hair! Let’s also consider if we launched each Nuke at the same time at different areas of the sun which would cause the radio us to meet at each shockwave point and cause sn extra kick which would still happen when each Nuke is even a mile apart
@@jsbaldo5556 I appreciate you making an argument but all the nukes in the world hitting the sun at once wouldn’t matter. It’s like dropping a firecracker in Texas. I’m not just guessing. You’re not correct.
10:40 - Keep in mind that Earth's entire nuclear weapons stockpile wouldn't impact our sun at all since hurtling them towards it would cause them to melt/vaporize hundreds of miles (probably thousands of miles) away from the sun and in any case, the sun is essentially a massive fusion reactor (much, much bigger than the Earth which is easily dwarfed by our sun) which would not be affected or snuffed out by atomic explosions. :)
there's an interesting documentary on Netflix called "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films" which includes some of the behind the scenes of what went wrong during the making of superman IV
WhyteLis21 1) Why the hell are you pointing to a RUclips video as something with any credibility.... at all. And 2) Showing WHAT works? What the hell are you taking about "working"?
Timothy Jahn instead of bitching about youtube as credibility, do your own research beside youtube if you don't believe it. I know I did. Like I said cost would hindered it. Just getting into it out of earth's atmosphere is hard enough. not to mention should something do go wrong during the launch it can cause radiation leaks if the launch do explode. Even getting independent companies that's not fund by the government would still cost millions of dollars to do it.
I have to hand it to the critics of this film they have some awesome collection of films and anime behind them and a Nintendo 64. You know something though, even with all the hate for Superman 3 and 4 given I love all 4 movies as a Kid I can't hate the last 2 films mostly because I am a Christopher Reeves fan. It is like the Super Mario Bros movie which we all know it is bad, but we enjoy watching it as a guilty pleasure. I would still watch all 4 Superman movies because I am a fan of Christopher Reeves. Honestly I feel kind of sad that Superman 3 and 4 did not get the treatment it deserved like Superman 1 and 2 which were awesome, but still don't see any better Superman then Christopher Reeves. The same with Michael Keaton from 1989 Batman which was the most realistic and real Batman in my eyes.
That's somewhat true. The sun would take a pretty decent hit from the explosion but that's assuming the weapons even get to the sun. They would explode much sooner and that would spell a ton of danger for Earth. So still not a good idea.
they would burn up before even arriving at the surface, hell you could drop the moon into the sun and only earth would notice.... (the lack of tides for example....)
Actually Chris, Throwing all of earth's nuclear weapons into the sun won't even tickle it. The amound of energy produced daily by the sun vastly exceeds anything we can throw at it.
My Superman movie rankings: Superman: The Movie. 9/10. Superman II: 10/10. Superman III: 4/10. Superman IV: 1/10. Superman Returns: 5/10. Man Of Steel: 7/10.
+MegaTaunTaun I could've sworn in one of Chris' videos, I think his retro rewind of Toonami, he said he would review Attack on Titan. But, so far, still no video. Hopefully, one of these days, he'll get around to it.
I agree with you. That's why I was telling Chris, he should do an updated review and, see if his opinion is still the same? Or if he sees more humor in it now? Nuclear man? They could have come up with something better than that.
They actually explain in the first or second movie (been a long time since seeing either) when Superman first takes Lois on a flight, that he also has power over his body's energy and can make it encompass another person, which is why she can "fly". Now once he lets go of her ... well, don't know about that.
Rectus Rectumius people pronounces it differently. I pronounce it that way. It depends on how you were raised to say it. Like the word “either” and “gif”
@@corbinthepieguy0249 Well congratulations you're wrong, because while some words have some wiggle room, that wiggle room does not extend to adding entirely non-existent letters to the pronunciation for the hell of it Nuclear Nuc - Nuke le - lee er - er there is no extra U, have a nice day.
Martin Sevcech just because there isn’t an extra u doesn’t mean people can pronounce it that way. Almost everyone in the south says it like that. People pronounce things weird all the time. Some people say gif like it starts with a j and some don’t. Yes grammatically nuclear with two u’s is wrong of course but that’s not going to stop hundreds of people saying it that way. There are plenty of words that people pronounce it with extra letters and stuff. Like I said it’s grammatically incorrect, but I’m not wrong on the fact that people are going to say it that way
10:50 the sun itself is just a gigantic nuclear explosion that's been going on for five billion years, all the nuclear weapons on earth wouldn't affect it that much at all as it produces more energy than all of them combined every second... (correct me if I'm wrong)
All of the nuclear weapons, along with the planet Earth itself and all of the other planets in the solar system could be flung into the Sun and...absolutely nothing would happen. At all. It'd be like a ping-pong ball bouncing off The Rock's chest.
7:30 - Did anyone notice that the display case floor collapsed before the weight dropped (Probably from the glass that hit it)? How did no one in editing catch that? Or were they just hoping no one would notice?
Hey, Chris. I was first introduced to your work via your Nostalgia Critic crossover. Just wanted to pop in and say that I appreciate your work (because we all know getting through schlock like this isn't easy).
Richard Donner was asked to come back, but he said no because he was busy directing Lethal Weapon and thought that the franchise's reputation was damaged beyond repair.
Every nuclear weapon ever made launched into the sun would not even phase it. They would not even make the surface, since they would be vaporized long before reaching the surface. He could have just launched the missiles out of the ecliptic plane of the solar system where they would be travelling, forever, through space. Maybe some distant star or planet draws them in for contact or vaporization. Like Carl Sagan once said, "all you need is one impoverished graduate student" for scientific reality.
Heads up everyone: the "Chris Stuckmann" going around the comments saying his book will be delayed isn't actually him. The channel has no videos or subscribers, so it's just someone who gets their jollies from doing this for... some reason.
The sun is literally billions of time more massive and powerful than every nuclear warhead ever. Launching them into the sun would be the soundest option of disposal, actually.
+Enthios Exactly. It's quite literally an unbridled nuclear fusion reactor. throwing a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of fissile and fussile material into the sun won't do a darned thing.
I just watched a video saying the movie studio cut Superman 4's budget in half and used it on Masters of the Universe. If the Salkins would've just left Donner alone we wouldn't have been cursed with Superman lll or lV
Just for comparison: Superman 4 cost 17 million to make, and looks like shit. Aliens cost 18.5 million, came out ONE YEAR BEFORE SUPERMAN 4, and has stood the test of time. Think about it!
8:15 If you read Christopher Reeve's book "Still Me", then you would know that it was his idea about ridding the world of nuclear weapons. What is so wrong about wanting World Peace? It was unrealistic because there will always be wars, but it was very ambitious and optimistic/ hopeful. Let's respect Christopher Reeve's vision/ good intentions. Let's remember that Superman IV was filmed during THE COLD WAR so it was not random. The Cold War was on everybody's mind at the time.
This Hilariocity is truly one of my faves - along with The Wickerman, The Happening, Steel, The Fanatic, Batman & Robin (which i dont think I can watch that much now because of Joel Schumacher's passing), Night Killer, Sleepwalkers and The oscar of the Best Hilariocity for me is Samourai Cop
I know, makes you wonder how he cuts his hair or shaves if his hair is so powerful. Though I guess thats why they later create the Maguffin of him using his heat vision off mirrors or some shit but really that just raises more questions.
This film originally had a budget of $35 million! The same as the first film, but Golan/Globus went nuts by also giving huge budgets to the rest of their productions..... when time came to shoot Superman 4, budget was slashed to $17 million.... The filmmakers had nothing else to do but bend over and take it. This movie was so under promoted in the summer of 87. I should have been all over considering how much I still love the first two, but I didn't see it until the ten years later or so....
OK... I'm 18:52 into this now and I'm laughing so hard, I was crying. I had to pause it. Damn I wish I'd gone through your back catalogue a long time ago, this is GOLD 👍
Please be a retro rewind of the *Avatar: The Last Airbender Series*(i know it's not a movie, but a fantastic series nonetheless)! And next to a Hilariociity Review of *The Last Airbender*! That movie needs to be ripped a new one for disgracing such a wonderful franchise. (Equivalent to what happened to Dragonball)

It is like the Super Mario Bros movie which we all know it is bad, but we enjoy watching it as a guilty pleasure. I would still watch all 4 Superman movies because I am a fan of Christopher Reeves. Honestly I feel kind of sad that Superman 3 and 4 did not get the treatment it deserved like Superman 1 and 2 which were awesome, but still don't see any better Superman then Christopher Reeves. The same with Michael Keaton from 1989 Batman which was the most realistic and real Batman in my eyes.
lauching every "nucular" bomb into the sun would be exactly the same as doing nothing. The sun wouldn't even burp.
That's somewhat true. The sun would take a pretty decent hit from the explosion but that's assuming the weapons even get to the sun. They would explode much sooner and that would spell a ton of danger for Earth. So still not a good idea.
13:07 Is no one gonna talk about how Chris's doodles are insanely good?
You are actually right
The sun is so big 100 nukes would barely scratch it
they would burn up before even arriving at the surface, hell you could drop the moon into the sun and only earth would notice.... (the lack of tides for example....)
"Won't SOMEBODY think about the CHILDREN!"
15:08 They're standing on the FLOOR of outerspace!
Reeve said this movie was a huge mistake from start to finish.
Actually Chris, Throwing all of earth's nuclear weapons into the sun won't even tickle it. The amound of energy produced daily by the sun vastly exceeds anything we can throw at it.
My Superman movie rankings:
Superman: The Movie. 9/10.
Superman II: 10/10.
Superman III: 4/10.
Superman IV: 1/10.
Superman Returns: 5/10.
Man Of Steel: 7/10.
I'd say superman returns is 6/ 10 but that's cause I really like the actor
Ayeeeeeeee, who's ready for Batman V Superman next week?!!!!!!
Me!
+Marty Byers (CommanderLewis) me
+Marty Byers (CommanderLewis) i will go to see it, but im not excited... im worried
ME
+Marty Byers (CommanderLewis) I'm going to a midnight screening on the 25th! :D
It's awkward because Superman III is more forgettable than part IV
Some would say it's redeemable because of the clark vs supes fight.
Hey dude
Well yeah! Lester directing it? He should have went back and, watched a Hard days night that he directed. When he actually was a director.
Can you please review Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Attack on Titan, Naruto, or Samurai Champloo?
+THUNDERcrackr FiveFour FMA:B, and Champloo would be interesting to see, but Naruto and AOT? Nah, and I like AOT.
+THUNDERcrackr FiveFour
Exactly!! He needs to get on that ASAP
+THUNDERcrackr FiveFour you have good taste in anime.
No.
+MegaTaunTaun I could've sworn in one of Chris' videos, I think his retro rewind of Toonami, he said he would review Attack on Titan. But, so far, still no video. Hopefully, one of these days, he'll get around to it.
This was hilarious, you two need to do more videos together destroying mediocre films!
I agree with you. That's why I was telling Chris, he should do an updated review and, see if his opinion is still the same? Or if he sees more humor in it now? Nuclear man? They could have come up with something better than that.
Flick Pick isn't funny..
@@ProtagonisTeneT you're not funny shut up
Not even Mediocre movies just bad movies.
@@ProtagonisTeneT why?
*Stares at Lois butt*
*Butt disappears like his ship*
*Laser tears*
They actually explain in the first or second movie (been a long time since seeing either) when Superman first takes Lois on a flight, that he also has power over his body's energy and can make it encompass another person, which is why she can "fly". Now once he lets go of her ... well, don't know about that.
Nuclear, not nucular.
Rectus Rectumius people pronounces it differently. I pronounce it that way. It depends on how you were raised to say it. Like the word “either” and “gif”
@@corbinthepieguy0249 Sure, Curbin Calvin.
Rectus Rectumius sounds way cooler
@@corbinthepieguy0249 Well congratulations you're wrong, because while some words have some wiggle room, that wiggle room does not extend to adding entirely non-existent letters to the pronunciation for the hell of it
Nuclear
Nuc - Nuke
le - lee
er - er
there is no extra U, have a nice day.
Martin Sevcech just because there isn’t an extra u doesn’t mean people can pronounce it that way. Almost everyone in the south says it like that. People pronounce things weird all the time. Some people say gif like it starts with a j and some don’t. Yes grammatically nuclear with two u’s is wrong of course but that’s not going to stop hundreds of people saying it that way. There are plenty of words that people pronounce it with extra letters and stuff. Like I said it’s grammatically incorrect, but I’m not wrong on the fact that people are going to say it that way
This review was so HILARIOUS
Ikr! I can't stop laughing throughout the video 😂😂
10:50 the sun itself is just a gigantic nuclear explosion that's been going on for five billion years, all the nuclear weapons on earth wouldn't affect it that much at all as it produces more energy than all of them combined every second... (correct me if I'm wrong)
+Eoin O'Kelly agreed. plus i think the nukes would vaporize before they got that close to the sun anyway.
+nph53 yup
Christopher Reeve's final turn as Supes deserved so much more!!
All of the nuclear weapons, along with the planet Earth itself and all of the other planets in the solar system could be flung into the Sun and...absolutely nothing would happen. At all. It'd be like a ping-pong ball bouncing off The Rock's chest.
7:30 - Did anyone notice that the display case floor collapsed before the weight dropped (Probably from the glass that hit it)? How did no one in editing catch that? Or were they just hoping no one would notice?
Superman IV: Search for Piss
hahahahahaha best comment EVER
DramaHateNation the movie was warm piss in a dirty alley so...... the quest for piss is hilarious (sometimes basic is funny to me lol)
somebody doeant appreciate puns.
Chris, the nukes would melt before they could touch the sun. XD
This is the best/worst hillariocity review so far!
+Oskar Wetterbrandt It's automatically the worst because TheFlickPick is involved.
no
you are half right
+Oskar Wetterbrandt I would pick The Happening hilariocity as the best/worst! that was awesome.
Steel starring Shaquile O'Neal😂
19:37 that shot was also used at the end of Superman 2 and Superman 3.
Wait a sec.... if you can't cut Superman's hair..... how does he get a haircut? Or is it saiyan hair, and doesn't grow once you are and adult?
Mark Bada-Bing its been shown in the past that he uses his heat vision to cut his hair, shave, etc.
Henrique Silva Wow, Cool to know that, thanks
I would assume he grows SOME hair, as we saw his facial hair in Superman 3 (when he was evil).
he cuts his own hair by using his laser vision
Must have had plenty of bad hair cuts when he was little hahahaha
When I was a kid, I thought this was an amazing movie. I think I used to watch it every day.
yeah.... all the Nuclear weapons on Earth, many times over, wouldn't do anything to the Sun.
+Titan Of Titans Its funny that some peaple actually think our nukes could do anything against a star...
Especially considering how much larger it is than Earth.
*Superman pushes the moon
Nuclearman: "Stop! Don't do it! The people!"
More like “Stop! Don’t do it! My powers!”
Hey, Chris. I was first introduced to your work via your Nostalgia Critic crossover. Just wanted to pop in and say that I appreciate your work (because we all know getting through schlock like this isn't easy).
30 MIN removed? Hmmm, sounds familiar
Justin A hi,
40 minutes, actually.
Shafed Saghir touche...
9:21 You’re also describing what happens in Superman: The Movie.
11:03 actually, it would be a good idea. Do you really thinking nuking the sun will blow it up?
"Ass juice inducing flying sequences." Possibly the most hilarious thing I've ever heard. Yes, just so much yes.
All of the Superman movies ended with the same visual shot of Superman flying towards the sun.
Tyrant Gregcag nope 1 and 4 are same, 2 and 3 are slightly different. In 2 and 3 he raises his left arm.
"He bitch-scratches him"
"Superman and Nuclear Man Porn"
God, I'm fucking dying. You two make an amazing team.
They are an amazing team but they didn't get that Superman's sickness after the scratch is radiation poisoning.
@@juskahusk2247 bro he gets charged from the suns radiation.
The credit goes to flickpick. His jokes are hilarious!
Richard Donner was asked to come back, but he said no because he was busy directing Lethal Weapon and thought that the franchise's reputation was damaged beyond repair.
Every nuclear weapon ever made launched into the sun would not even phase it. They would not even make the surface, since they would be vaporized long before reaching the surface. He could have just launched the missiles out of the ecliptic plane of the solar system where they would be travelling, forever, through space. Maybe some distant star or planet draws them in for contact or vaporization. Like Carl Sagan once said, "all you need is one impoverished graduate student" for scientific reality.
Chris Stuckmann and John Flickster in one video, *incredible*.
Heads up everyone: the "Chris Stuckmann" going around the comments saying his book will be delayed isn't actually him. The channel has no videos or subscribers, so it's just someone who gets their jollies from doing this for... some reason.
15:03 wtf does Christopher Reeve do here when he puts his arms up to block? It looks ridiculous.
I think he also said "Don't do it, the people!" in Superman II.
8:36 So, basically, what you're telling me is that
"Jeremy spoke in class today." 🎶🎵🎼
17 million dollars went to this crap?
I could've paid my taxes with that! smh
Gemma Snape Are you serious
It was supposed to be $36million, but Cannon cut it to make Masters of the Universe.
I see you live in a democratic city.
$16,999,994 was Chris Reeve’s salary. The rest of the film cost $6.
17:19 MAN! This movie actually got released!
The sun is literally billions of time more massive and powerful than every nuclear warhead ever. Launching them into the sun would be the soundest option of disposal, actually.
+Enthios This. I mentioned the same thing. It's human arrogance to assume we have the ability to effect the sun with any of our current weapons.
+Enthios Exactly. It's quite literally an unbridled nuclear fusion reactor.
throwing a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of fissile and fussile material into the sun won't do a darned thing.
I literally died when the train conductor made that noise and fell out
When’s the funeral?
@@animaldays2 no u
It was the train driver. He had a heart attack.
To be fair every Superman movie ends using that exact shot from 1978. It's not being lazy it's being consistent and is tradition at this point.
Man of Steel ended with Clark Kent being accepted to the Daily Planet.
I just watched a video saying the movie studio cut Superman 4's budget in half and used it on Masters of the Universe. If the Salkins would've just left Donner alone we wouldn't have been cursed with Superman lll or lV
John I'm-gonna-pop-a-fuckin-blood-vessel Flickinger
13:15 Superman! Look to the left! Superman peers through the blinds to the right.
Just for comparison: Superman 4 cost 17 million to make, and looks like shit. Aliens cost 18.5 million, came out ONE YEAR BEFORE SUPERMAN 4, and has stood the test of time. Think about it!
Ikr. It’s so shocking, because it shows how poorly the budget for Superman IV was used.
8:15 If you read Christopher Reeve's book "Still Me", then you would know that it was his idea about ridding the world of nuclear weapons. What is so wrong about wanting World Peace? It was unrealistic because there will always be wars, but it was very ambitious and optimistic/ hopeful. Let's respect Christopher Reeve's vision/ good intentions. Let's remember that Superman IV was filmed during THE COLD WAR so it was not random. The Cold War was on everybody's mind at the time.
I laughed so hard watching this movie, I almost died.
This Hilariocity is truly one of my faves - along with The Wickerman, The Happening, Steel, The Fanatic, Batman & Robin (which i dont think I can watch that much now because of Joel Schumacher's passing), Night Killer, Sleepwalkers and The oscar of the Best Hilariocity for me is Samourai Cop
So it means that Clark Kent has never gotten a haircut?
I know, makes you wonder how he cuts his hair or shaves if his hair is so powerful. Though I guess thats why they later create the Maguffin of him using his heat vision off mirrors or some shit but really that just raises more questions.
This film originally had a budget of $35 million! The same as the first film, but Golan/Globus went nuts by also giving huge budgets to the rest of their productions..... when time came to shoot Superman 4, budget was slashed to $17 million....
The filmmakers had nothing else to do but bend over and take it. This movie was so under promoted in the summer of 87. I should have been all over considering how much I still love the first two, but I didn't see it until the ten years later or so....
OK... I'm 18:52 into this now and I'm laughing so hard, I was crying. I had to pause it. Damn I wish I'd gone through your back catalogue a long time ago, this is GOLD 👍
How does Superman cut his hair?
Kantrol Apparenty the same way he rebuilds walls.... he just.... can.
Heat vision
Please be a retro rewind of the *Avatar: The Last Airbender Series*(i know it's not a movie, but a fantastic series nonetheless)!
And next to a Hilariociity Review of *The Last Airbender*! That movie needs to be ripped a new one for disgracing such a wonderful franchise. (Equivalent to what happened to Dragonball)
do the show!!! love airbenderrr and korra
That part Chris about the green Crystal made me laugh so hard at work.
This review is better than the movie being reviewed.
