Sadly, the plot was Reeves' idea. He was massively disappointed in the finished (well, half-finished) film, but letting him do an anti-nuke-weapon story was how Cannon convinced him to sign on.
@@ScreamingScallop That, and he had to do Superman IV in order for Cannon to green light his pet project Street Smart with Morgan Freeman playing a pimp. Good movie by the way.
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!
You think it's that bad? Very funny. I don't think it's that terrible except for the silly nuclear man. The robot woman from Superman 3 would have been better.
Nyran Stanton Superman 3 didn’t have the greatest script but I loved Chris’ take on bad Superman as well as his usual impeccable Clark Kent n good supes.
Superpiair1 Erm. I’m sure he did some bad shit as well as pull the face. He wasn’t evil just NOT good lol. Yea I like his take on angry bad superman - the acting wasn’t terrible
@WiiManElite I guess cos Bizarro is just Superman’s opposite rather than outrightly bad - and tbh I prefer bad superman haha. The supercomputer would’ve been better as Braniac as it had no personality whatsoever (well apart from its need to survive).

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.
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.
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 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....)
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.
wh3nderson95 certainly, but if you look back at the other superman movies, is the best of the 6... a 5/10 movie is the best out of the 6... lord have mercy
+BestintheWorld247 People who say that may legitimately not know that S4 even exists. I rank the movies like this Superman II Superman Superman II (Donner Cut) Man of Steel Superman Returns Superman III Superman IV
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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
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
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.
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.
That was a great review! I even kind of forgive you for not having mention one of the best lines in movies of the past century: Nuclear Man's "where is the woman!?". What the fuck was that?? And why on Earth Superman would manage to know that Luthor's son have a crush on someone he has just seen in the cover of a magazine?? Anyway, I'm telling you something about Superman IV and me that I think is kind of funny. I was like five when this movie came out to theathers here in Argentina, I couldn't see the movie that time, but I saw the trailers on TV. By that time, on air tv, I'd seen the first two movies already. Later on, cable tv became affordable for most people and then, we have movie channels!, movies all the fucking day!! But... something was missing. By the time I was 16, I saw Superman 3 for the first time and I've seen how all the movie channels have cast Superman 1 and 2, too many times, and the third one no that many. I've seen all of them and realize that none of them have "a black superman fighting with the real superman in the space". Yes, man. I was too little then and all I remembered was that part of the trailer. And I expected to see that on the third movie. What happened then?? What were those memories? Just a dream?. I even asked people, and no one have a clue of what I was talking about. Finally, as internet became more and more massive, by the 2000, was when I discovered that there was a fourth movie. I wasn't insane! I wasn't dreaming! I saw trailers, photos, everything. But I only managed to get a copy of the movie in 2004, the first time I saw it. Can you believe it??? For like 20 years that movie was like banned for every movie channel here. A couple of years ago, was the first time I've seen it displayed on cable tv. Much of the people didn't know it exists or just denied its existence. I mean, it's a freaking shit I know. Can you imagine how I felt the first time I've seen it? The movie that I was searching for years? But, isn't it too much? I even read that Christopher Reeves himself always avoided to talk about this movie.
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.
When Superman looks at his ship and it disappears he is using the same power to deconstruct his ship. It is to show that he has decided to stay on this planet because it is the only home he (and we) have.
+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 recently watched Superman II with Zod and that one was pretty hilarious too. Zod and his friends just roam around the planet languidly looking at things .. they ask a news reporter what a camera is and after learning about it they say ok whatever.. do your thing 😂🤣
I was 8 when this came out. All I wanted was fight scenes, and instead half the movie is a cringy parent-trap-esque double-date scenario with Supes and Clark. Even as a 3rd grader, I could tell it was really really bad.
My parents took me to the movies when I was 8 or 9... I didn’t realise how bad it was at the time of course but I remember being bored and disappointed at 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.
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 👍
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
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. :)
"STOP DON'T DO IT THE PEOPLE!"
Christopher Reeves' exact reaction to this movie being pitched to him
Sadly, the plot was Reeves' idea. He was massively disappointed in the finished (well, half-finished) film, but letting him do an anti-nuke-weapon story was how Cannon convinced him to sign on.
ScreamingScallop they also slashed the budget in half right before filming.

Hi Chris. The sun would be COMPLETELY unaffected. Don't worry about it.
Rump Buffalo Just go along with it for once! It’s a movie (a really bad movie at that), not an actual science experiment!
there already a video on youtube somewhere explained nukes shot into sun (from real science) that it would work but cost too much to do it.
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"?

Even getting independent companies that's not fund by the government would still cost millions of dollars to do it.
Yeah, the sun is 1.3 million times as big as THE EARTH. A few hundred nuclear missiles wouldn't amount to much.
Superman, "With my super powers, I shall blot out the sun."
Nuclearman, "Then we shall fight in the sh....."
Launching all nukes into the sun would just make a small poof on the surface like in the movie.
It might even prolong the sun's lifespan.
They'd melt long before getting *anywhere near* the surface of the sun.
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.
It's awkward because Superman III is more forgettable than part IV

$16,999,994 was Chris Reeve’s salary. The rest of the film cost $6.
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.
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.
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
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.
I laughed so hard watching this movie, I almost died.
Christopher Reeve was wasted on this movie.
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.
"Ass juice inducing flying sequences." Possibly the most hilarious thing I've ever heard. Yes, just so much yes.
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.
John I'm-gonna-pop-a-fuckin-blood-vessel Flickinger
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).
When I was a kid, I thought this was an amazing movie. I think I used to watch it every day.
Christopher Reeve's final turn as Supes deserved so much more!!
IMAGINE...
PEOPLE MADE THIS...
Imagine... people WANTED to make it this way
IMAGINE, that was Christopher Reeve's Superman las movie
the bad guy looks like George michaels on steroids 😂
Kold World Max 😂😂😂😂😂 omg yes
Steroid Whispers
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.
8:36 So, basically, what you're telling me is that
"Jeremy spoke in class today." 🎶🎵🎼
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
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.
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.
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
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.
I think he also said "Don't do it, the people!" in Superman II.
Chris Stuckmann and John Flickster in one video, *incredible*.
BRUH!! Up until the wall rebuilding powers I was like "HUH?"
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.
This review was so HILARIOUS
Ikr! I can't stop laughing throughout the video 😂😂
That was a great review! I even kind of forgive you for not having mention one of the best lines in movies of the past century: Nuclear Man's "where is the woman!?". What the fuck was that?? And why on Earth Superman would manage to know that Luthor's son have a crush on someone he has just seen in the cover of a magazine??
Anyway, I'm telling you something about Superman IV and me that I think is kind of funny.
I was like five when this movie came out to theathers here in Argentina, I couldn't see the movie that time, but I saw the trailers on TV. By that time, on air tv, I'd seen the first two movies already. Later on, cable tv became affordable for most people and then, we have movie channels!, movies all the fucking day!! But... something was missing. By the time I was 16, I saw Superman 3 for the first time and I've seen how all the movie channels have cast Superman 1 and 2, too many times, and the third one no that many. I've seen all of them and realize that none of them have "a black superman fighting with the real superman in the space". Yes, man. I was too little then and all I remembered was that part of the trailer. And I expected to see that on the third movie. What happened then?? What were those memories? Just a dream?. I even asked people, and no one have a clue of what I was talking about. Finally, as internet became more and more massive, by the 2000, was when I discovered that there was a fourth movie. I wasn't insane! I wasn't dreaming! I saw trailers, photos, everything. But I only managed to get a copy of the movie in 2004, the first time I saw it.
Can you believe it??? For like 20 years that movie was like banned for every movie channel here. A couple of years ago, was the first time I've seen it displayed on cable tv. Much of the people didn't know it exists or just denied its existence. I mean, it's a freaking shit I know. Can you imagine how I felt the first time I've seen it? The movie that I was searching for years? But, isn't it too much? I even read that Christopher Reeves himself always avoided to talk about this movie.
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
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
That wall rebuilding power could have really come in handy during Man Of Steel
When Superman looks at his ship and it disappears he is using the same power to deconstruct his ship. It is to show that he has decided to stay on this planet because it is the only home he (and we) have.
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.
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.
That part Chris about the green Crystal made me laugh so hard at work.
I recently watched Superman II with Zod and that one was pretty hilarious too. Zod and his friends just roam around the planet languidly looking at things .. they ask a news reporter what a camera is and after learning about it they say ok whatever.. do your thing 😂🤣
All the atomic bombs in the planet wouldn't make a dent on the sun
Only John is pronouncing nuclear right.
I had the _pleasure_ ¿? of watching this movie on a transpacific flight when I was a teen.
Even back then I could realize it was a shitty movie.
did you say you had the pleasure of having sex in a 69 postition.
You were a teenager. Of course you knew it was bad.
+RABID RABIDS I think most people can recognize a shitty movie once they turn 10.
I was 8 when this came out. All I wanted was fight scenes, and instead half the movie is a cringy parent-trap-esque double-date scenario with Supes and Clark. Even as a 3rd grader, I could tell it was really really bad.
My parents took me to the movies when I was 8 or 9... I didn’t realise how bad it was at the time of course but I remember being bored and disappointed at it
I find a crazy that the guy that was in Two and a Half Men that played Lex Luthor's nephew is now Lex Luthor on TV.
I love how supermans cape is rippling around like he was flying in a place with a atmosphere....not the vacuum of space lol
30 MIN removed? Hmmm, sounds familiar
Justin A hi,
40 minutes, actually.
Shafed Saghir touche...
Lol! "The Quest For Who Gives A Shit"... Hilarious
15:08 They're standing on the FLOOR of outerspace!
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.
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 👍
OK... Is it just me or is Chris saying "Nucular"?
+Soafyaan Zia Yup. More than once.
Like in "Idiocracy"
No, he is saying it..
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
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. :)
Throwing every Nuke on Earth into the sun all at once would make no difference to your day.
The Sun is like millions of nukes going off every day.
