#Superman1978 - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
"I must have fainted"
Superman...The only guy in the world who doesn't mind punking himself haha!
Hasan Abdul-Jabbaar Well considering he can jugggle cars then a little punking to hide who he is is ok...lol.
Because he knows himself that he's not a punk. He can kick everybody's ass on this planet.
BATMAN IN "BATMAN: BEGINS"????
You'd be surprised how much it would probably satisfy you to act like that. Considering you know that you live a life being invulnerable. Dare I say he probably has fun being "human" like that.
@@rapolasra934 hmm u called me?
This perfectly illustrates why Superman can so effectively hide his identity with "just" a pair of glasses: it's not the glasses, it's the persona he adopts when he puts them on. And people find that so unbelievable, but what I find far more unbelievable is that a woman only has 4 items and $10 in her purse.
Well, guess that's what makes more believable that it was a wild guess. XD
Santiago Morena still not worth getting shot over Louis!
Superman can also change his eye color, and has had shapeshifting friends impersonate Clark Kent
It only illustrates that Lois is a featherbrain!
@Santiago Morena dude...
I really like how at 0:47, Clark stands up tall and throws back his shoulders. He pretends that he's flinching, but he is also making sure Lois is completely shielded from harm. That's a Superman action, disguised as a "dorky Clark" action.
The reason Christopher Reeve was so perfectly cast in these movies is not just because he was a great Superman, but because he was a perfect Clark Kent.
Same thing with Peter parker and Tom Holland or Captain American and Chris Evans. That is their actual personality in life, so being themselves in films they pull off the characters. Also Chadwick Boseman as the King T'chala. May he live forever. Rest in power Christopher Reeve. You are missed sir.
He WAS a PERFECT Clark Kent
😄
It was similar to Patty Duke
Playing Patty and Cathy on the
PATTY DUKE SHOW on TH-cam
(Twins are like patty and cathy)
Well said👍
a robber with a nice suit
Daniel Haddad i think he is the mafia😂😂😂
Probably stole it.
He's not wearing a suit, he's wearing a sport coat with khaki trousers. An ill-fitting coat (probably intentional), which you can see when he extends his gun (a Smith & Wesson Model 36). It's too short for him. Back in those days, it was normal for guys to wear at least a sport coat in public. Nowadays, everyone slogs around in track pants and T-shirts.
The first part of the scene was shot in New York. The alley scene was shot at Pinewood Studios in England...you can tell by the signs on the buildings, which have English spellings.
god bless the 1950's
Wall Street?
I love how he’s pretending he’s weak and protecting Lois while acting like a coward and then catches a bullet. Epic!
That's what made Christopher Reeves so perfect for this role. He's walking the tightrope of not letting on upfront that he is the Man of Steel yet dropping hints that there's more to Clark than what meets the eye.
@JC Denton He was his father. He didn't want anyone to discover him that early. He was wrong but it's realistic. And his relationship with Lois didn't need development. Love at fist sight does happen you know. What did you want half of the movie to be about them ?
@JC Denton I don't think it's written anywhere that Superman had the perfect parents but either way the movie wasn't about any of that. Besides you realise we are weak and corrupt in more ways than one. The movie suggests that despite that we are worth saving cause we can be better. There's the hope you want. Superman was raised and lived as a human and that's why he became the symbol of that hope. He became the perfect example of what a human can become. Not a superhero of course but someone that cares about everyone, that wants the best for his world and tries his hardest for it.
@JC Denton His father's reaction to the bus incident wasn't reflective at all of his upbringing or what his father taught him over the years. It was only about hiding his powers which was somethong good to teach him even though it gets complicated when lives are involved. Btw you can say his father didn't have to die without becoming ridiculous and saying he was a coward for sacrificing to protect his son. The scene where superman kills Zod was freaking brilliant. Others will find plenty of excuses why someone has to die. That he deserves it or is too dangerous to be left alive. But superman values every life as one should and it's actually tragic to him that he has to kill Zod with his own hands to save the lives he was threatening. Also I don't know what you were on about how superman should be based on how he grew up but that's definetely not how it works. You can't tell someone who he is based on his past.
@JC Denton The world isn't black and white you know. You can't say he's evil for that. Just rewatch the scene and read some other opinion. I can't convince you of anything when you grap on the slightest details to prove that it's "poorly written".
What I love most about this scene isn't that Clark is (obviously) putting himself between Lois and the gun; it's that (given what we learned about his upbringing earlier in the film) he clearly would have done THE EXACT SAME THING even if he was not bulletproof. And it's that innate, old-fashioned, chivalrous decency which makes the character tick...!
That's the thing about Clark, he's a really nice guy! You explained it perfectly.
I love that smirk at the end when he catches the bullet in his hand.
Yup, his Supes comes out for a second😂 Reeve was so talented for this role
I loved how "Wonder Woman (2017)" did an homage to this scene.
Yankeefan24 you responded to 4 Different people who asked this question,and you Ended All of them With "so yeah"
So yeah..
Web Warrior Unlimited so yeah
Interestingly enough the director of 2017 Wonder Woman went to a high school in my town...
@Jack Hollins and everyone who doesn't agree with him is beta male? I don't even know what the hell that means
Wonder Woman was terrible.
So yeah
Chris Reeve can switch from ultranerd to slick Superman in second, thats how talented actor he was.
"ULTRANERD" STEALING THIS.
Your both nerd and dweeb, demi
@@sharked8831 who’s Demi?
s
But...he was typecasted with the role.
My aunt said, most who play Kal-El..something happens to them.
She knew in 1978. Something would.,
A freak accident 😫😥
When I was a little kid I used to say, “even when Christopher Reeve plays the role of a nerd he’s still the coolest man I’ve seen on TV” 😎
Doubt
The look of Christopher Reeve breaking the 4th wall by looking into the camera with a smirk before throwing away the bullet is still priceless!
And just from the change in body language he looks like a totally different person. No other actor has managed to pull off Clark Kent and Superman being so totally different like he did. When I first watched it as a kid I genuinely thought they were played by two different actors that looked similar
1:25 This boi said he fanted, ha. This is why Christopher Reeve is the best Clark Kent ever.
Fanted? You mean....FAINTED? Henlo fren.
The best way to hide his true identity is to play the opposite...and Reeves did it well
great actor and very handsome
boy*
Tino Brajokôil haha
Christopher Reeve played both parts so well. Greatly missed actor.
It could be argued that there were three parts: real Clark, wimpy public Clark, and Superman. Each had its own transitions and conflicts with the other ones.
RIP, Christopher Reeves.
When Christopher Reeve died Superman died the whole generation of it hasn't been right eversince
almost everyone from the movie is dead except genehackman who is 92!!
@@aseed89 Not quite. Valerie Perrine, who played Luthor's girlfriend, is still with us at 79.
I absolutely love this Superman! He is so believable in his innocent naive personality. SMH It's adorable to see that Lois believes she's defending him. I could watch this version a thousand times and still laugh and cry throughout. Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder are infinite icons for Superman and Lois Lane. Noone does it better.
I never understood how nobody could tell Clark was superman, but after wat watching this, it makes so much sense. Unfortunate that the current Hollywood films don't try stuff like this
Nope Calvi comes Superman using the alias of clark kent. Still has the same persona and talk of superman while but with suit and glasses.
Damn, Reeve was good. He really nailed being BOTH Clark Kent and Superman. What an actor! RIP.
“Ascribe to the Lord
you heavenly beings
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.” - Psalm 1-2
RIP, Christopher Reeves.
New "heroes" start acting like jerks and bullies the second they got powers or other advantage.
This one doesn't mind to look weak and timid, if this is what helps people.
Yep. Look at all the Marvel ones, cocky smartasses. Only Bruce Banner has a decent personality. One of the reasons Wonder Woman stood out was because they made her a nice person. She wasn't making smartass quips every five minutes.
Idk if this relates to anything you guys said but....
In marvel, they dont give a shit if people find out who they are except spiderman and some other people but thats their character
Superman was created by a Canadian in the late 1930's or so. Clark Kent is reflective of the Canadian style to act humbly to cover resolve as opposed to upfront bravado that usually covers weakness.
Terrible argument, do you not know how comics work?
Why the hell should so many hero's have the same boring personality?
You mean kinda like Jesus... he who has the power to save Humanity. The one and only chance to redeem us back to God. Humble and vulnerable to the point of death. Superman Aquaman the Hulk Thor and all the rest would kneel at the feet of Christ and be grateful. There is a comic for you. But many people can't handle the subtle truth of the Cross and The Amazing Power in the Blood that Jesus is spelled for you and I, and it is ignored. The greatest strength is in honesty humility kindness
"Golly, I guess I must've fainted."
"Fainted? You fainted."
"Sorry."
Does anyone else find this part hysterical? I absolutely love it.
The most humble hero ever. Thats why hes the best
Well, he was raised most of the time on Earth by the Kents. From there he learn how to be grateful with everything he has since they live in a farm and value hard work and ethics.
I completely agree!
RIP Christopher Reeve. The world's one and only Superman
khrystal1968 Yup and he was murdered
@@GrandMasterLynx are u serious??
@@naturfis7942 Sorry I was thinking George Reeves the 1st Superman
WAIT HES DEAD
I DIDNT EVEN KNOW
reeves is the only one that could play the insecure, terrified Clark Kent and be a superhero at the same time. Hands down, best superman. I haven't seen the other new supermans, i don't think i have to.
Absolutely agree. Playing Superman isn't the hard part IMO. Any sufficiently good looking guy with a great body and muscles and acting ability can pull it off...
... but playing Superman AND Clark Kent... that's the challenge and nobody pulled it off like Christopher Reeve. Not even close. He seamlessly and effortlessly can go from Clark Kent to Superman to Clark Kent again in 3 seconds with a furrowed brow, weak chin and slack jaw to slight grin and almost imperceptible eyebrow "wink" and glance and back. Perfect. The slight Superman fanfare that goes with it seals the deal, but even with it muted, it's all there in Christopher Reeve's face.
What’s the opposite of Christopher Reeve.........………………………................. Christopher Walken
They’re pretty good though. I enjoyed them. Will never beat this movie though.
Well the modern interpretation is that Clark Kent is just a regular guy but Superman is a larger than life figure
yeah like henry cavill plays clark like just a regular guy trying to be secret but crhis reeves acts like he is weak and cant do anything
0:09 immediately puts himself in front of Lois, Clark.. you're Superman is showing 😆
Damn, look how well dressed everybody was back then. Even the muggers had style.
There are people who have always been well-dressed. You just generalized everybody.
These scenes where he is Clark Kent and does Superman feats while trying not to expose himself were some of my favorite.
This never get old. For all the bells and whistles CGI provides Chris still sells it without any of that. I crack more now that the widescreen SHOWS him pointing the gun away from them lol.
Artisan1979 totally
Having a good team, a good director, good actors and a solid script is what makes a good movie not hiring the best company for the CGI.
1:20 Just noticed Lois pushing Clark's glasses back into place. Like, "Oops, I almost recognized him!"
Love how he smiles at the camera
Man of steel super man would have grabbed him and flew outer space
Or broke his neck.
Before screaming into the distance.
Dan D in the rain.
Supreme KayJay! 😂😂😂 I'm fucking weak
BvS Superman would've screamed 'Martha!!'
the first superhero who brokes the 4th wall on screen
Not even the fourth wall can withstand the might of Superman!
Luis Cristaldo and the timeline.
Wait how
I thought the same but checking the video again he didn't break the 4th wall, he just saw Lois, not the camera.
Louis was a handsome man, indeed.
1:00
AMERICA: "Lois? WHATRE YOU DOING!?"
JAPAN: "NANI!?"
I love the line in Mr. Kent's hair.
👍🏼🇮🇩
The Best Superman Movie Ever For Me. RIP Sir.
...and Margot Kidder was the best also.
Shreyas S nah mos was the best
I dunno Dean Cain did an excellent job portraying the televised version
It was the second movie I saw as a boy with Star Wars being the first. The cinematic score by John Williams. The brilliance by Marlon Brando and Gene Hackman. The beauty of Margot Kidder and Valerie Perrine. The great acting of Jackie Cooper, Ned Beatty and Glen Ford. Last but not least the excellence of Christopher Reeve. He made this then 9 year old believe that a man could fly. That’s why Superman is my favorite hero.
She was THE BEST Lois Lane!!!
the acting is near perfect in this scene, it perfectly portray the superman story, 0:10 Clark just step up and cover Lois right away with his body as a shield (protector sign), 0:40 Clark just shows his super positive attitude along with optimism (cheer and joy), 1:06, Lois stupidity gets herself into trouble and Clark Kent save her (comics regular stupidity)... 1:30 Clark down played his feat of bullet catch and pretend to be weak (the hero hiding side)...
a short 2 minutes scene completely cover what superman is all about.
Agreed, every single word and movement portrays an optimistic farm boy from Kansas, but with superpowers. It's just so exquisite.
Yes. THIS is storytelling. Something that is lost in modern Hollywood blockbusters. And the kids of today prefer a Marvel cgi fest with no memorable characters and not one iconic scene.
timmyfung01
Wait, all of that happened, what the f*ck....
Yeah, it's amazing, right?

I love how christopher reeves portrayed Superman perfectly
Christopher Reeve played both characters perfectly
I loved Wonder Woman's little homage to this scene. Unexpected but sweet.
Yankeefan24
...so yeah :))
Did she “faint”?
They should have made a Wonder Woman and Batman movie in the 1980s after Superman II.
@@sandal_thong8631 Technically they did make a Batman movie in the 80s. 1989 is still the 80s lol.
@@TheScarletWing2490 That was after _Superman IV: The Quest to Rest in Peace (1987)._ Before that there were Superman II (1980), Superman III (1983), and Supergirl (1984).
I love this scene. What a superb actor Christopher Reeve was
"Ten dollars, two credit cards, a hairbrush and a lipstick?" Love it.
There have been a lot of great actors that played Superman, but I don't think there will ever be anybody as good at playing Clark Kent than Christopher Reeve
That is true. Christopher Reeve will always be the one and only True Superman in my eyes.
His grin at 1:37 is amazing 😂
it's enough to make anyone smile
That isn't a grin, it's a smirk. But i get the sentiment.
@@MarcZankovic stop being a smarta**
You know you're getting old when THIS gets you misty-eyed. THIS is SUPERMAN.💖💖💖
I love how the Clark Kent persona is such a stark contrast to the Superman persona. He's a total dork and nerd but inside he's a brave and selfless guy.
The classic 70's Lois & Clark!😁 Miss them😞
Every director, writer, and actor out there have their own interpretation of Superman. However, so far no one has come close to Christoper Reeves. He is by far the "GOAT" Clark Kent and Superman.
Yessss... lots of actors have played Superman well, but ONLY Christopher Reeve has perfected Clark Kent. And how he was able to switch between Supes and Kent so effortlessly was just superb acting. Now the acting from just about everybody in those Donner Superman movies was over-the-top and comic book-y... but it was a movie about a comic book character, done in the 70's so what do you expect. But Reeve's performance in those heroic and meek scenes are gold.
best superman ever
I like how he looked at the camera and the iconic music plays 1:34
He was incredible at this role... Stunning
1:46 I love how after Clark tells her what she has in her purse and she asks how he knew that, He pushes back his glasses so everyone watching would get the hint of his X-Ray Vision. BRILLIANT! Reeves is The BEST!!
I was thinking today that he must have to use it consciously like at Luthor's place, and doesn't just walk around seeing through stuff. Could have been helpful if the gun was not loaded.
CHRISTOPHER REEVE.THE BEST SUPERMAN EVER.
Yes, but not with hiding his identity. Describing the exact contents inside someone's purse leads to MORE Suspicions.
Rest in peace Superman 🙏🏻
When thieves dressed down to commit a crime.Oh the good old days of classiness.
God damn does Mr. Reeve look great in that suit
RIP Christopher. The best superman!
I haven't seen a turtleneck suitcoat wearin robber ina while..
Really? I just got robbed by someone wearing that exact get up last week.
Gotta love how the cowardly Clark Kent almost immediately stands between Lois and a Gun. He's still able to seem like a frail man while doing it.
This scene is the reason why Reeve is the best Superman. In this scene, we actually see a HUGE contrast between the confident figure of Kal-El, the last son of Krypton and the nerdy, awkward Clark Kent. Even for the audience, who already know he's the same person, it feels like we're watching two separate characters on the screen, all thanks to Reeve's amazing performance. It's so much better than the most recent movie adaptations of the character we've gotten. With Routh and Cavill, especially Cavill, there never seems to be an effort to make Superman's alter egos feel like two separate people. They just sort of rely on the glasses shtick and nothing more. I feel that's one of, if not THE most important element of adapting ANY superhero, whether it be movies, television or any other medium.
He is the best but not just because this part
@ Max Isola Absolutely agree.
This was always my favorite version of Clark Kent. Even the animated series didn't quite do this persona justice. Every other interpretation seems to focus more on Superman.
Rest In Peace christoper you were such a good Clark Kent superman
The level of modesty is as legendary as his charm. Awesome 😊
Christopher Reeve was just as good at playing Clark Kent as the Superman character. Double the reason to love him and his chance to put his Juilliard training to practical use!
This guy is not as ripped as many modern encarnations of Superman, but sure has the impact, RIP Mr. Reeves :(
He was one of the first actors to embrace bulking up for a role at a time when it wasn't the norm for an actor to undergo extensive weight training. In fact, he added about 30 lbs of muscle in the process, and was trained by David Prowse, best known as the man who wore the Darth Vader suit in the Star Wars Original Trilogy.
It's Reeve not Reeves!
He's actually way taller than you think.
There's a picture showing all superman actors.. and he's defintely taller than Henry Caville. He was one of the tallest.
Christopher Reeve is so dorky cute haha
I love how it did a slow, mild version of the movie's theme when he held up the bullet. It's like even the music realizes it has to go undercover.
still the best, brilliant portrayal of Clark Kent. a man of steel who pretending as a nerdy coward but slily helps people when nobody knows
BEST SUPERMAN moment of all Time.
Love the idea of Dorky Clark
Showcases Superman's humility but also how well his disguise fits him
0:32 *the LOOK on that dude's face tho!!!*
Christopher Reeve will always be superman
I'm crying right now... :,( Margot Kidder has passed at the age of 69. RIP both her and Chris Reeve. She will forever be THE Lois Lane
Funny at 1:36 I always thought Clark broke the 4th wall by looking at the audience and smiling after he holds up the bullet. But I see now that he was actually looking at lois.
Yup. A lot here still think he broke the fourth wall but he didn’t.
I always thought he was smiling at Lois. But, now, I want to believe he was breaking the 4th wall.
He does when he smiles at the camera in space.
@@sandal_thong8631 Oh yeah! I forgot about that. You mean in the closing shot, right? Did he do that in all four movies with Routh continuing it in Part 5? I can't seem to remember.
Loved Christopher Reeve’s dorky Clark Kent.
0:09 As Scared as he's acting in front of her, Clark STILL casts himself between Lois and that gun with her being none the wiser. Shows that Supermans Greatest Ability is to Save first and ask questions later which is Clearly what he does in this scene.
Margot's Lois was closer to the Lois in the comics than Amy Adam's Lois. Not just the hair color but personality and attitude.
Actress Amy Adam's stinks
Margot Kidder was the best Lois Lane!
1970s & 1980s had charm. amy adams is part of the charmless 2010s & 2020s
My personal favorite Lois Lane was Erica Durance in Smallville. I used to think the worst Lois Lane was Kate Bosworth in Superman Returns....that is until I saw the new one in the Supergirl TV series who is just God awful
I wish they would made a movie from smallville series.
As amazing as he was even Superman couldn't stop his glasses from sliding down the bridge of his nose. He truly knows what it's like to be human. 🤔
God bless Christopher Reeve, man.
I'm sad that he's gone he was such a cool actor.
My favorite superman Christopher Reeve
Christopher Reeve truly could make us believe that a man wearing his underpants on the outside could fly. His portrayal of both Clark and Superman were outstanding and the way he could switch between the two so seamlessly showed just what a superb actor he was. Rest in Peace Mr. Reeve
The paint was still fresh at the world trade center in the background.
That theme. Gets me every time
Hell yeah
The perfect Superman
The most impressive thing about Superman is the amount of restraint he has.
Apparently 70s muggers wore tailor-made sports jacket and slacks ensembles. What a time to be alive.
Greatest Superman/Clark Kent of all time RIP Christopher reeves
Patty Jenkins was here
I just realize that
mipropiosoft a nice tribute
lol she wasn't even born
She was there saying, "Write that down write that down, that's soooo good."
Reeves played this so well.
Christopher Reeve was born to play this role. He was so wonderful. This movie, which had no cgi, was years ahead of its time.
Christopher Reeve The Best Superman Ever)))))
Charisma Charisma Christopher Reeves! LOVE IT!
*Reeve
I love the way Reeves transitions to Superman just by giving that knowing smile then transitions right back. That's good acting, real good acting.
Superman is more human than people relaize. He has the power to rid the world of crime but chooses to chase a single piece of tail.
REST IN PEACE Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder..
He resembles Brandon Routh!!! Not just the looks, but this is very much like how Brandon plays Ray Palmer too!
There is and will only ever be one superman..
I literally am stunned by The Resolution and Camera quality of this movie because it's wayyy better than most 80s and 90s movies, damn
Superman is my best superhero
Aw this was such a cute scene ! SuperMan acted really scared which is new 4 me sense I always see him all u know heroic and stuff
Vendo essas cenas percebi como ele foi o melhor ator a fazer o SuperHomem ...
RIP Christopher
