SUPERMAN 1978 Facts You Didn't Know!

- In an intriguing anecdote from the making of "Superman" (1978), Roger Moore recounted in his autobiography that he witnessed a fascinating phenomenon involving the film's star, Christopher Reeve. Moore observed Reeve walking through the Pinewood Studios canteen in full Superman attire, causing a commotion of adoring female fans in his wake. However, when Reeve donned his Clark Kent disguise and walked through the same canteen, no one even glanced in his direction. Interestingly, this phenomenon mirrors the real-life experience of Harold Lloyd, a famous silent film actor who, when not filming and without his signature round glasses, went completely unrecognized by the public. Lloyd's own experience served as inspiration for the character of Clark Kent, who uses his glasses as a means of concealing his true identity from the public. #shorts #superman #didyouknow #moviefacts #moviedetails #supermanlegacy
And we finally get an explanation of how Superman could disguise himself with just a pair of glasses.
Most Superman fans never needed a TH-cam video to get it. His glasses were always genius in relaying the moral of how blind the common people are to something so simple
Early on in the comics, it is said that he has an inherent psychic ability. He’s not aware of it but his sense of wanting to be disguise makes some disguised. Like a super advance camouflage. Simply, I don’t want you to recognize me so I psychically make it where you can’t, but I am unaware that I do the action.
But not with people he works with
@@ryleeguy2763that must only work on people that don’t care about his secret identity. Cause Lois is constantly wondering if Clark and Kal are the same person.
@@005JR8funny thing is that when I took my glasses off at work to clean them, a coworker told me I looked like a totally different person. I think a factor is others seeing the glasses as a part of your face. To them, the glasses are the same as your nose and mouth. Especially if you never take them off. That’s why whenever Lois is trying to figure out if they are the same, she draws glasses on a pic of Superman.
No disrespect to the other actors who played Superman (and Kent), but Reeve was excellent at being a bumbling nerd and then being a superhero. The hair, shoulders/chest, demeanor, and attitude between the two characters showed that Reeves was a great actor.
His name was Reeve not Reeves.
Reeves was another actor
Because he created that. He made what we know as Clark Kent. George Reeves was a great Superman to his credit but his Clark was mild mannered but still kind of Alpha
Chris Reeve hunched his shoulder and looked constipated. He acted goofy. Nobody did that before him. Without Chris Reeve we don't have what we know as Superman
@blackie6771 did that add to the point? Instead of adding something of value you come in like a rude geek pushing going "um teacher. That isn't correct"
@@riccardoc2524that's George reeves. He had a superman show. Although the budget was rather iffy so whenever they did a flight scene, superman was actually animated.
Since the inception of Superman, people have always made fun of the whole “glasses disguise” thing… but Christopher Reeve managed to actually make it plausible by his acting alone.
Yes, he did. Even the voice actor from the animated series, Tim Daly, couldn't manage to pull it off.
Its not just glasses. Clark kent slouches and has an overall meeker demener. Reed portrayed this beautifully in film.
Reeve also used a different voice.
Thats why hes the best. no other actor embodied clark kent and superman so effortlessly. No one played the bubbling clark like reeve. Actually, no one made clark a bubbling fool. The disguise does work.
And people say it wouldn’t work
those people are idiots. seriously you would be surprised how easy it is to not recognize someone when they try to not stand out.
Henry Cavill did similar experiment and it worked too.Shockingly well.
Well if you're close to superman you'd recognize him instantly "hey superman you look exactly like this guy I know", if superman were real his secret identity would probably be found out within a month or less. @@thanoseid2883
As someone who wears glasses & contacts I discovered that if my coworkers didn’t know I wore glasses & came to work with them because I was running late they didn’t recognize me. One job I opened the store & had to knock on the door & they wouldn’t let me in saying they were closed. They thought I was some stupid idiot until I took my glasses off because I realized they didn’t recognize me 😂
All hands down the best superman ever
TV Superman. George Reeves
Tyler hoechlin in superman and lois. But reeve was the gold standard to achieve.
@@rocknroll1973Hoechlin is good, but Reeve is GOAT.
Reeve will always be the best and only Superman.
I love Henry Cavills version of Superman, even met him (videos on my channel) great guy all around, and love his version. That being said..
Christopher Reeves Superman is unbeatable.
His body language as Clark was completely different than his body language as Superman. He was just phenomenal. ❤️
Christopher Reeves will forever be the best Superman.
Yes!! Indeed!
You mean George Reeves? There was no Christopher Reeves.
Yeah. I decided to call dummy the first person in the comments section who will misspell Chris Reeve's name. You are the first person you dummy 😄
@@wrlordChristopher reeve
I hope you all are school children and not grown ass adults. You kids sum up America really well 😂😂😂
Christopher Reeves was the BEST. The very best!! R.I.P.
Reeve not Reeves
@@irvingwashington8638 Beg pardon.

Christopher Reeve was superman from the 70's and 80's
George Reeves was superman from the 50's
Christopher Reeve was the best, truest Superman. No fake muscles or CGI needed for his suit.
RIP 🙏
He had the eyes and hair, too. He actually _looked_ like a comic book Superman come to life. The quintessential Superman.🦸
It also goes to show how well Reeve was at that character. They thought he was just a guy. Exactly what Clark always intended.
Just shows again how great Mr Reeve was in that role.
Also many people nowadays don't know Harold Loyd never used stunt men in perilous scenes. He did it himself.
He was another superman.
I remember Harold Loyd had a missing finger from an accident. He used a glove to hide it in his movies.
Christopher Reeve was one of the best humans
Reeve nailed Clark Kent. It wasn't just the glasses it was his whole demeanor and personality.
Christopher Reeves will always be my real Superman.
Snap and same here.
Another classic example of why Christopher Reeve is the best Clark Kent as well as Superman.
I was 5 yrs old when this movie came out .. everyone loved the Superman movies 😊😊
Can confirm. Some people who wear glasses actually DO look different at first without them.
Almost like when you see early pictures David Ruffin without his glasses it looks funny
Especially when what he always wears without the glasses is a Superhero costume. The uniform makes a big difference.
😁
@@patrickstewart3446RIGHT?!, OMG, I don't understand why no one else mentions that!.
Henry Cavill walked around Times Square wearing a Superman T-shirt (with his face on it) underneath a giant billboard ( with his face on it) and nobody noticed 😂😂
Who is this Cavil you speak of?
Part of that is NYC citizens minding their own business
Sure did.
@@trhansen3244I had to google lmaooo he played Superman? Who knew ahhhh
No one give a danm about Cavil lol.
rest in peace christopher reeve and margot kidder
Actually met Margot Kidder at a convention, weirdly she was off to the side with essential obscure stars ans had almost nobody wanting to talk to her get autograph. Shame she was great, me and a friend talked with her for quite a while.
@@apex2000LUCKY! she's the best actress for lois lane! She was so beautiful.
I worked with a new hire all day while wearing my prescription ray bans. The next day I wore my contacts and he did not recognize me for about 3 hours until I told him who I was. One of many times that has happened to me.
Our brains are so good at recognizing small differences in people's faces to tell each other apart, but it's very bad at finding similarities(in comparison at least)
Harold Lloyd is a smooth Ryan Reynolds.
As a real fan I knew this. The combination of his different behavior, shoulders up/down and glasses made the change believable from CK to Superman and back.
Christopher reeve the best Superman ever
The silent film actor is just ryan reynolds in disguise
😂😂
I wore glasses as a kid and when I was about 12 I tried it out and sure enough I walked right by my 2 best friends and they didn't recognize me. Clark Kent and Diana Prince would have an easier time of it than anyone would like to admit.
Its not just the glasses.
Its the confidence, the change in posture, the mannerisms.
If Roger Moore had played Clark Kent/Superman, he would have said, "Kent. Clark Kent."
Reeve _was_ Superman.
Any video about Christopher Reeves as Superman will always get a thumbs up from me
Every women ever, walking by clark kent looking for superman.
Lol
Cary Grant in “Bringing Up Baby” served as the inspiration of Clark Kent. Reeve said it in an interview. However, Harold Lloyd influenced a young Cary Grant.
I love that movie!
I'm sure the Superman costume helped him to be noticed.
Uniforms and superhero suits makes the wearer attractive.
Same with Dolly Parton and Marilyn Monroe. Anecdotally, that is.
Every time people argue how the glasses don’t work and say “how can they not recognize him without the glasses?” acting like they’re so intelligent. It’s just so superficial. I mean are you kidding me? Dean Cain and Tyler Hoechilin barely did anything to change their persona when in Clark Kent disguise. Reeve nailed it. Not only did the glasses work but his performance made people think he was just a bumbling geek.
Such a handsome superman❤
Free speech: you’re pretty ?!
"Clark Can't, Superman CAN!"
Best Superman. Period. No questions about it.
REST IN PEACE CHRISTOPHER REEVE
I'm willing to admit Harold himself looks a little like Clark and without the glasses a lean Superman, awesome
Christopher Reeve the best superman ever I saw superman when I was 12 my mother got me excited about superman thank you mom. my brother and I took her to see it for it's 40th anniversary in 2018 before she died of dementia R.I.P mom
Oh my god i would go MORE crazy for Clark Kent💜💜💜
Same! 🥰
Lana Lang, is that you?
Love the Kent-to-Superman transformation. The effects still hold up
In Banes voice; no one cared who I was until I took off the glasses
Best Superman ever.
It’s happened to me so much that I actually call my glasses my “Clark Kent’s”. I’ve had friends that have known me for years not recognize me if I wasn’t wearing my signature dark acetate frames.
I had a girlfriend who decided to wear glasses and tie her hair back for the first time since we started going out. I walked straight past her.
😃
She put that on because she had just gone out with me and wanted to make sure you didn't see her.
@@jedijones😂😂
So your girlfriend was really
Wonder Woman??
RESPECT 👊😎
Superman paling sempurna.. Christopher reeve 👍♥️
More evidence that eye witness testimony should not be used in court
There is a story that Groucho Marx was on a USO train tour. As the celebrities were exiting the train they were cheered except Groucho who no one recognized, so he went back on the train and slapped on the grease paint!
Nowadays with the amount of camera angles and close ups there would be of Superman, it wouldn’t work, and I feel like that’s why we all jump to that. But back then it’d be way different, he’d be flying around, they probably wouldn’t get a single good picture of his face.
Anyone else notice that clark sets his hair path at different sides aswell?
His dapper buttoned up bespectacled thing makes me want to mess him up
This would be fascinating if they could use that info in a Superman movie
I like that both Reeves and Henry Cavill did stuff like this (Cavill walked around time square which was full of BvS posters wearing a Superman shirt and no one recognized him) to prove that people not recognizing Clark as Superman works perfectly well due simply to no one expecting to see a well known figure in public, so you just dismiss it when you do see them.
Yet people still try to say the glasses are a silly cover.
Marilyn reported, I think it was in her autobiography, that she could do this same exact thing when walking down the sidewalk on a busy street. It was somewhat easy for her to remain 'incognito' when out and about, if she wanted. But then, whenever she dallied up with makeup and strutted, the fans would flock with sheer excitement.
This is more true than you might think.
Every time I see someone who works in the medical field outside in their regular clothes, I have no idea who they are. Completely unrecognizable.
He saw Reeves and his mouth dropped and I guaranteed he thought to himself wow this what Superman would actually look if walked out of the comic he may be the most perfect casting for a superhero all time he made the character seem real it's so surreal
And yet people always make fun of the whole glasses identity. There’s times people would get haircuts and all of a sudden they’re unrecognizable.
All you need to do to understand how the disguise can actually work is _watch Christopher Reeve's performance._ It's a lot more than just putting on a pair of spectacles; it's a total transformation of mannerisms, posture, body language, and overall demeanor.
And Christopher Reeve is the only actor who has ever given a live action performance of Kal El/Clark Kent/Superman and _actually accomplished it._ Every other actor I've ever seen playing him hasn't really done anything to differentiate between Clark and Superman aside from putting on the glasses. For example, there is _absolutely no difference_ between Henry Cavill's portrayal of Clark and Superman, and it basically makes it seem like a joke that no one can tell.
Plus in more modern comics, there's the fact that most people don't actually think that Superman even _has_ a secret identity; he doesn't wear a mask like the Batman, he doesn't try to hide his appearance in any way. From the perspective of most citizens of Metropolis, Superman seems to always be everywhere helping people, so it seems to just about everyone like he wouldn't even _have the time_ to have a secret identity or life outside of being Superman.
Christopher Reeve will always be the best Superman I like Henry Cavill but Christopher Reeve immortalized Superman❤❤❤❤
Find a picture of Zooey Deschanel without bangs and Superman/Clark Kent makes sense.
I think what’s great is he exaggerates his facial features and demeanor as Clark. Basically he will smoosh his face more and make himself look more dorky, but as Superman he’ll look more confident. It’s not just the glasses, but also demeanor.
Oh that is awesome, just like Superman!
I suspect it's also how you carry yourself. Reeves did an amazing Clark Kent
Best ever all time super man Christopher reeves next to non
Agreed.
STILL THE Best
NO one else
He LOOKS like Superman and he actually cared about everyone around him.
Even in that wheelchair, still Superman. Still cared. Still made a difference.
Christopher Reeve *
Christopher Reeve ... THE Superman
I think it would be more like, "Hey! Wow! You got the Superman costume on! Cool! That's what you'll look like as Superman in the movie!" and, "That's just the actor with street clothes and glasses, so no big deal. No one's ever going to ask me if I saw Reeves in street clothes and glasses."
Henery Cavill did this as an experiment and no one even bothered any attention, he was just a regular guy just chilling
People laugh at the idea of super heroes, especially Superman, having simple disguises, but it's very effective. Hiding in plain sight
The side crease helped as well !
He's the classic 😮
It worked not because it's not obvious, it worked because people would overlook it
Yeah when I go to work wearing my superman outfit I get looks as well.
I remember when I was a man entered our house, but apparently it was just my fasther wearing glasses.
He is the best superman ever played
It has NOTHING to do with Harold Lloyd (who was a wonderful silent star in his own right) and has nothing to do with being "a recognized star"
What happened was a testimony to Chris Reeve's remarkable talent and how seriously he took the role. Many people on set commented on how Reeve became someone else when he played both Superman or Clark. He walked differently, held his shoulders differently, his voice changed, different mannerisms, the man was a damn good actor, period. None of the other Superman actors came close to achieving the depth and subtlety of Reeve's Clark Kent.The women simply responded to Chris's power, his physique, and his charm and confidence when portraying Superman, and conversely ignored his weak, insecure presence as Clark Kent, even though he was the same person. That, is talent.
Fenomenal e maravilhoso. Cristopher é insubstituível e inigualavel
It's because Superman's outfit is so eye catching that your eyes are drawn to it. When it's just a normal ass guy people don't notice.
I know Henry cavill play superman good but C, reeves is the best super for me
Forever *my* Superman.
Physically Henry Calville was able to fill out the Superman roll, but I never was really convinced . He was Clark Kent. You look like superman with the pair of glasses on. Maybe it’s because he didn’t seem mild mannered.
He played Superman and Clark Kent as the Same Character.
There was really no reason for him to have a Secret Identity.
Supposedly Lloyd was also the inspiration for Clark's design in the original comics. Henry Cavill had a similar experience walking around I believe Times Square with a Superman shirt on but he wasn't recognised....supposedly.
Such classic super men
It's all fantasy anyway! It's supposed to be fun an whimsical! The inability of many people today to separate the two is disturbing!
Snyder Cultists are Disturbing.
The Most Toxic Fanbase In Existence.
It makes sense. Humans are silly and ignore someone, if that individual falls below their expectations.
TERRANCE OUT
Henry Cavill literally wore a Superman shirt in Times Square and was fine. The disguise works people
Hemans tan was the worst disguise ever. 😂😂😂
Those that consistently argue that Clark's disguise would never work in real life always comes from a place of already knowing Clark Kent is Superman. We already know the answer so we can see it. But as demonstrated by these stories when we're not looking we're not going to notice. In a city of millions of people he just blends in. Our brains are trained to notice things that stand out. Clark Kent doesn't stand out.
If they didn’t work for the same section of the Daily Planet, would Lois even know Clark was alive?
😁
That's actually impressive
Interesting enough, no other actor who played both characters since, could ever pull that off.
And this is why Clark Kent has not been found out by anyone other than Batman
People don't see what they don't expect.
James Henry never did that. That's a fairy tale.
The movie was very good, it was Marlon who was the weakest link!!😂😂😂😂
Of course Christopher Reeves would b able to pull that off he’s Superman
Llyod looks like Ryan Reynolds
Perhaps he should play him in a Movie?
It is true if you are mild-mannered and you not make a spectacle of yourself no one will notice you if the rock walked around dressed l ike Clark Kent no one would notice him
