You took it up to 11 this time, great job. You should honestly do a long documentary on Kubrick's the Shining.
Thank you very much dude!
This Documentary is outstanding, it has better production value then a lot of the ones that are purchased by television or Netflix and they have production crews in their 100s, I really hope someone recognises your talent and makes you the next Barry Norman, with your team supporting your production. One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen
Thank you very much Dean for your great feedback.
I absolutely agree. Just brilliant
Great doc
You could be the new Barry Norman
It has better production values than superman 4.
Harper, in my mind, you truly are as iconic as Roger Ebert or Gene Siskel. Your voice as a movie critic and fan are instantly recognisable... good work mate!
Cheers buddy!
Oliver is the man, but iconic? Iconic means someone or something that has received often worldwide attention, and is regarded as having contributed heavily to public discourse. Maybe after a couple more decades, Oliver will earn the title of "iconic". He is still starting his career, nevertheless has a loyal following and has produced incredible work, though. People throw out these words to increase the impact of a statement, but its overuse has ultimately diluted the sentiment.
".....and why not?"
Absolutely stellar feature Oliver, you've really outdone yourself Sir!!! Kudos!!!
Though it was awfully rude of you to conduct a retrospective in a cinema when others were trying to watch the film :D
Thank you very much Larry!
LGR, Gggmanlives, Oliver Harper, Ashens and others channels not off the top of my head, you're everywhere Mr Bundy. It's almost as if you have awesome tastes, Mr Bundy.
Larry Bundy Jr "Hello You!"
Great researched video! It kept my attention the whole way through!! I'm on "pins and needles" waiting to see what movie or video you do next!! Well done, mate! 👏🏻🎞👍🏻

Hello you!
a wild guru larry appears.....
This is really excellent. The fact that you actually went “on location”... literally... really elevates this to true documentary quality. Your presenting to camera is also very good, and the cinema set is a lovely touch. You should be very proud. More of this, please!
Thank you very much Rob for your feedback!
Yes I agree. Thank you Oliver
Brilliant video. This is worthy of being included as a extra in all future releases of S4.
Thanks for your feedback!
Oliver Harper if Warner Bros can find Sidney J. Furie’s final cut answer print of “Superman IV,” that would be the perfect opportunity.
Michael Kurland I wonder if that exists? I read somewhere that the negatives were burned or something? Hopefully somewhere, that cut exists. I’d love to see it instead of the workprint cut
Mark Simons according to Jim Bowers, there’s a very good chance that the print still exists.
Mark Simons plus, two of the deleted scenes were completely finished and were included in the international releases of “Superman IV.”
Fantastic documentary Oliver. You REALLY upped your game on this one. It was really cool to see you personally giving us a tour through the sets used for Superman IV's production. The effort and lengths you went through in this vid absolutely floored me. This is the kind of thing I expect from a professional production. Bravo. I however saddened by the knowledge that this vid will inevitably get yanked by WB just like all your other Superman retrospectives. :/
Thanks for your feedback Kenneth!
Oliver Harper no prob. You really out did yourself on this one.
@@OliverHarper Nice work, especially as I was still living at home in MK then and saw my old school science room being used in once scene. Why do you call Superman "Supergirl" in the intro though?
Excellent work Oliver....this really steps up the quality of your product, and was a very interesting, informative, and entertaining documentary.
Thank you very much!
Have to agree totally. Love your retrospective reviews and this was outstanding work. Bring us more!
The thought occurs, I'd love to see something similar on Aliens or Full Metal Jacket given their UK based production.
Top notch work here. Literally feels and looks like a tv series.
Thanks for your feedback!
Well done mate. I know Superman is dear to you, and you did a great job.
Incredible job Oliver retracing all those steps. What a trip down nostalgia lane this was. Cheers..
Thanks buddy!
As a television veteran, I can honestly say that you've made a brilliant documentary worthy of broadcast. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing more - hopefully, you'll be recognised as a talent to watch and that any television exec worth their salt will give you a programme of your own.
The next level has truly been reached, Oliver. Another sterling piece of work for fans of the little details that make the big movies.
Honestly, this channel keeps getting better and better.
As laughable as the Superman/Nuclear Man plot is, the Clark/Daily Planet stuff is genuinely solid. That farm scene back in Smallville (in which Ma Kent has presumably passed) is moving and delicately handled. Clark's "romantic" scenes with Lacey are hilarious and cute. Also, the tabloidization of the Daily Planet by a Rupert Murdoch-style huckster is pretty prescient.
gokinsmen It’s better than Superman III and Man of Shite, for sure.
I think it has some of the best relationship scenes out of the four films to be honest. Just all the worst action and comic stuff.
No way IV is better than Superman III.
The Lex Luther and his nephew and Nuclear man were the weak points in the film and the special effects.
It has a lot of great scenes that work off the cast's chemistry. I find it perfectly watchable and entertaining, but it does lack polish. Superman III was two very good but very different movies in one, and they both weighed each other down. The evil Superman plot and Clark/Lana sub-plot should have been the whole film, and Pryor could have made a decent comedy just about computers.
I really loved this Oliver, excellent stuff. Always cool to learn new things about the Reeve movies. A lot of effort went into this and it shows. The production is top notch, as well as your delivery, hats off to all involved. I bet you got a kick out of retracing Reeve's footsteps.
Cheers buddy!
It's funny, I see people frequently mention you're the new Barry Norman in the comments, probably based on the intro to "Fix it in Post". Based on this work, I would think a better comparison would be Mark Kermode. This documentary was remeniscent of his "On the Edge of Blade Runner", which is also an excellent watch.
Content like this is the reason I love TH-cam. This was highly professional and better than 95% of Blu Ray special features. The obvious depth of research, the interview, on-site footage, easy-to-follow monologues, and overall quality made this very enjoyable. No studio would authorize this much time and money creating a mini-documentary about a less-than-stellar sequel like Superman IV, but you obviously have a love for the making of this film and it showed. I look forward to seeing more of your content in the future.
Damn. This is an impressive documentary, Oliver. It should be on the Superman 4 Blu Ray. That would actually make the movie easier to watch. Amazing job as always!
Thank you very much!
Awesome work mr Harper. I love the fact your showing your face and actually have taken the time to go visit these locations now days, that puts a whole new spin on the “nostalgia” of it all. Speaking of which great choice in a movie to do a documentary on. Kind of an obscure gem that everyone alive in the 90’s saw. I’m looking forward to more of your retrospectives and more of these mini documentaries.
I SWEAR THIS GUYS GOIN PLACES, LIKE, subscribe, help this hard working guy out. He’s doing what he loves.
Always a treat to see you cover Superman related content. One can easily the notice the passion you have for this.
Loved this movie as a kid, lived just a few miles away from MK all my life and had no idea! Hats off to the film makers for that!
Dude you're the man! Easily some of the best retrospectives and reviews on TH-cam. The production value in this is outstanding! Cheers brother! From Milwaukee, Wisconsin!
Oliver, you are the 2017 version of Barry Norman, from the BBC 1 show, Film, I used to watch when I was a kid. Your reviews and retrospectives are top notch. Keep up the good work, pal.
I knoe Ebert and Siskel are very well know around the world, but I wish Oliver would have instead included footage from the Film series hosted by Barry Norman.
This was a great insight into filming the legendary Superman film series in the UK and very nostalgic looking at some of those scenes, thanks for posting such a fantastic video.
A wonderfully thoughtful, thorough retrospective. We all know Superman IV wasn't the best, and it would've been so easy to critically pick it to pieces. But you chose to present the facts in a respectful, informative way. Well done, Oliver, you should be proud. One of your best!
Nothing like waking up to find your favourite movie reviewer up with a new video.
Thanks James!
This was so well done. Loved it!
I have to say, I wish the deleted scenes were including in the movie as it would've been a better movie!! The news alert scene and Lacy with Lex scene especially. NOT the Metro Club scenes. I also think, on a side note, an interview with Jack O'Halloran would be interesting too. As such a fan of the 1 and 2, you would make it compelling!
I have to echo what everyone else has said Olly, fantastic work on this! Watched it this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it all. It was great to see how the locations have stood the test of time and just how creative the production was with what they had to work with budget wise. Congrats to you, Tim, Richard, Brad, Peter and everyone involved in this production....night put my feet up today and give Quest for Peace another watch today. Again, thanks for sharing and for putting so much hard work into this!!
The Jump in quality and production blew me away! This so so awesome! Hope to see more of these
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you so so so much for making this, mate. You have so much passion for this, you can tell.
Hope you aren't spending too much for this, it's really well made 😊
Brill job Oliver and Tim!
This was so awesome!!! I was a small boy in the late 80's, and I loved this film....never knew how badly it was regarded until I became a teenager in the late 90's. Superman IV will always hold a special nostalgic place in my heart, and thank you for the deeper dive into the film!
Really enjoyed this Oliver. It wouldn't be out of place on a Superman IV blu ray.
This doc deserves WAY more views and you, sir, deserve WAY more subscribers.
Cheers from Denver, CO.
Massive step up in quality, well done
Oliver Harper, The Man, The Myth, The Legend! You are the first of a few movie vloggers I started following couple of years ago, and you are the best, by far! I mean, it's an understatement to call you a "movie vlogger", but you know what I mean. It's an honor and a very special treat to watch your videos. With this one, you've outdone yourself! The level of your professionalism is something to strive for, and a really big homework for everyone else, doing this type of videos. Thank you, and keep up with your amazing work!
You’ve gone above an beyond on this video Oliver. I had no idea they filmed 99.9% of Superman 4 in the UK. This video was an eye opener.
Thanks for your feedback!
Oliver, as someone who shares your level of passion, and interest in the vast majority of the films you cover, especially the Reeve-era Superman films, I could comment on what a professional, informative, polished, and beautifully produced piece this is. However, what I most want to say is simply "Thank you!"
Excited to be the first to comment....Love the video...the quality of work you do, is the best that can be found on the Internet...it's amazing how your content only keeps getting better...I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this...I hope that you can do more of these...
Thanks very much Bryan!
Talent is one thing but when you add passion and heart to it (which is clearly visible here) you get something really special. Superman character (and Chris Reeves' Superman) have a very special place in my heart which makes this video greater than it already is. Excellent Oliver!
I'll admit it, I'm old and love all 4 Christoper Reeve Superman films . Great job, Oliver. You can tell that you put your heart into it.
The great thing about this, is the different angle it takes on the film, and does not rehash things that people know. Truly superb. Well done
This should be included on a Blu Ray release of Superman IV! As well-filmed and well-paced as any documentary I've seen for a film! You should be damn proud!
Wow, Oliver. You hit another landmark with this one. A new format and approach. This is worthy of any commentary on a big studio Blu Ray special features release. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Top job mate! Definitely a fascinating (and oft overlooked) subject matter. That particular generation of British set designers were a very resourceful bunch.
Thanks for your feedback!
An interesting, informative, and very well-made video here, Oliver. Fantastic job by you and everyone involved!
Thanks for your feedback!
Like a fine wine, you and your videos are getting better with time! The depth you went into for this is definitely worth more than 85K subscribers!
Mr Harper this is nothing short of spectacular. I'd demand more, but doing so would distract me from absorbing every frame of this documentary all over again. Kudos!
The level of care and polish that went into this is a testament to the fact that you are among my favorite youtubers, if not the most favorite.
You're in the top 3, at least. Cheers from Georgia!
All right, Oliver! You did it! This is like a full-fledged documentary and could have appeared on any special feature reel. I'm glad to see you're trying new things and think you may be on to something here.
Oliver, you have another hit in your catalogue. I could not believe how many movies have been shot in UK and most important, how with a few tricks you can transform a british city into an american location. Please, keep on making more of these docs that explained people that the magic of cinema is not only in the screen.
This documentary is over two years old and I cannot believe I haven't come across it until now. Great video and information. I can see how hard you've worked to not only put this documentary together as well as you have but also the research that you had to have done. I watch your retrospectives all the time and I really do enjoy them. Keep up the great work
Wow, thank you!
I had to pause the video on the FIRST FRAME to say: Damn! Chris looked good in that suit. No padding was necessary. No overdesigned crap, no dark muted colours. PURE Reeve.
Someone tell me why that suit can't work today? (other than the fact that no one could fill it like Chris did)
Ok, back to the video...
Awesome video Oliver! I was not expecting to see all of the location shots at the beginning but that was a great surprise. Your passion for movies is infectious and it's especially fun when you cover ones that are clearly very important to you
Thank you very much sir!
Your calming voice makes this documentary even more enticing
I've followed this channel for years and literally had no idea this was finally released haha - I'm so glad i've finally watched this - it's a fantastic insight into the film and its production. I met the director at a recent networking event - really lovely guy.
Great video man. All your mini docs are interesting and informative. I very much enjoy your content. Cheers mate..
Absolutely fantastic video, I am blown away by the details. Milton Keynes! Who would have guessed. Keep up the incredible work Oliver.
Incredible work my dear you tuber! As someone who’s completing a Superman IV documentary myself, I can only wish to attain this standard of work.
You truly have outdone yourself with this Oliver. My father actually worked at Elstree Studios during this time.
Easily the best thing you've ever done Oliver. You've managed to celebrate some unsung heroes and achievements and in the process lent some respectability to a widely derided film. Bravo! Also, you look good in front of the camera, for the most part poised and at ease. We definitely need to see more of you front and center in your videos. It's good for your brand!
This is really good, well made and interesting. Its clear you've put a lot into it and you should feel proud of what you've made and is a logical step up from your retrospectives
Thanks Matthew!
Excellent Retrospective of the superman locations,Very impressive and well shot+edited
Thanks Graeme!
Loved every minute of this. So glad I'm able to support this type of stuff via Patreon.
Thank you very much for your support!
Applause! Very nice job. As a Superman fan myself I find production stories of Superman IV fascinating, and this was very satisfying. Your hard work is really commendable, great stuff! Also nice to hear from Peter Young about it. (had the pleasure of working on a film years ago that he was set decorator on) I hope you do something like this again.
Fantastic video; loved it! Really well made. I was at Sir Frank Markham when this movie was filmed; I remember walking to my class in Secklow when I turned around and saw Christopher Reeve in his Superman costume walk past - I’ll never forget that! I also have a photo I took through the bushes, of Christopher Reeve reading the Sun newspaper outside his trailer. Good times…
This video makes Superman IV look really good. Incredible.
What an utterly brilliant documentary! Put a smile on my face
The quality of that video was amazing. Real talent right here on TH-cam.
You’ve stepped up to the next level. Good work.
Thank you very much!
This is one of your best videos so far. You've obviously put a lot of work in and it shows. Well done.
Hello, Owen. I’ve been a subscriber of your channel for a few years and I love your content. It’s been a source of entertainment and information about films and television shows that I’ve grew up with and even some that are unknown. I especially love the commentaries and spotlight on Superman related media like the documentary that I’m watching now. It seems to me that you have a special place in your heart for the Superman series as a whole which I kind of have myself.
I think part four is not the best of the original series but a lot of work was put into trying to make a believable world. Superman is now character that is kind of overshadowed by Batman (another character that I’ve loved) as not being relevant and just simply not cool. But disagree with that thinking. Just to cut this short, thank you and your crew for putting the time and effort into making this doc about one the less popular Superman films. To you and your continued success.👏🏿👍🏿✌🏿❤️
Thank you very much Thomas for your feedback!
Really loved this man, absolutely a passion project. I did a similar documentary on the New York locations of the Ghostbusters movies at the start of the year, would love it if you had a watch!
th-cam.com/video/0jfbzzUfqNA/w-d-xo.html
Interesting all they use the George Lucas soundstage is strictly coming dancing and now the live shows of Britain’s got talent seems a bit of a waste it’s not used for film production
I came, I saw, I enjoyed your video
Oliver Harper is the new Barry Norman.
This is brilliant. I grew up on this movie - i know nothing of its production. This is a real trip. Nice work Oliver
Thanks Jim!
Big - longtime fan of your work.
Just when you think you're one of the biggest superman fans out there, Oliver Harper does a brilliant retrospective doc and look-in on how the films were made and provides interesting insights to the film series overall production and history! Nice one Ollie and Merry Christmas if it means anything to you!
Fantastic review. One of the best TH-cam movie reviewers. Alot of research and work went into this, and the interview was a nice touch.
Wow, this is really great work Oliver. A real upgrade from your previous outings which were already great.
You did a fantastic job getting your story across, your love for the material showed through. That was a fascinating interview and I felt like I learned a lot of really neat new things. Thank you very much everybody for all your hard work on this, I'm very impressed!
The amount of information in this is mindblowing. Top quality.
Mr Harper, take your vast body of work, including this doc...go talk to netflix and leverage the work and land yourself a new movie/tv show in-depth review show...go get that tv money! Love everything you’ve produced sir!
Was hoping to hear about the fortress in Superman iv
This should be official bonus material on the Superman IV disc. Fantastic job, Oliver!
Thanks a lot buddy!
Amazing work oliver, its great to see you growing and still bringing the quality !
Re-watching this classic video and I still can't help but think Oliver is doing his best Barry Norman impression.
And why not!
I’m surprised that Warner Bros hasn’t offered you a job, Ollie. This documentary is first-rate.
BTW, I spoke with Mike Matessino about the test screening print of “Superman IV” and he seems to believe that it might still exist. That would be quite an historic discovery for fans of Superman, if it’s true.
It’s surprisingly cool to see the real world locations vs the movie clips. This movie was one of twenty VHS tapes I had as a kid so although I didn’t love it, I’m familiar enough to recognize the backgrounds
Oliver Harper is one of the best movie reviewers on TH-cam.
This is fantastic, Oliver! It's very clear how much care and effort you put into this project as I know this has been a passion project for you over the last number of years. Very thorough, informative, well shot & assembled. Hopefully, when they do the next anniversary release of the Superman Anthology (hoping we get a 4K UHD set release), WB will contact you and put this within the special features!!
Thanks very much for your feedback Witt! :)
Superb work as always! One of the only channels where I watch everything that is released, and all the way through. Like this new direction as well. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
For the love of Jor-El, this is GREAT work guys!! THE QUEST FOR PEACE is always a curio to this 80s sky kid. It could have been so much better and very nearly takes a different turn, but the money visibly falls away as the story, momentum and production crashes to earth in a fierce and fast back-projection plummet.
Thanks for your feedback dude!
Bloody Milton Keynes!
Honestly mate, You really brought your 'A' game with this one. Fantastic!
Thanks for your feedback buddy!
great job Oliver, been a fan from the early days, better than extras I've seen on DVD and Blu-Ray
I love the journey of this channel. You constantly improve your self bit by bit with every video you upload. Kudos!
Ollie! Every time you have a superman related video, I smile. You are awesome, sir.
Oliver, you do a bloody great job when it comes to delving into past films. Location finding is always amazing. I did the same thing in Australia a few years back on the location of the original Mad Max and just the genius of how all george miller did was use about 10 km of rural land to film his classic. He literally shot in one spot for one scene, then pointed the camera 180 degrees the other way and filmed another scene that popped up like an hour later in the film. It inspired me in how intelligence can save on money on a film, and 30 years on. The locations he used were almost exactly as they were in the film. For others they may think "so what?" But for us film nerds, it's like walking in the footsteps of giants when we see film locations we grew up with only on the big scree.
Oh cool! Cheers for the info Mike!
Oliver, wow, what an absolutely beautiful Retrospective you've created.
You have set the highest standard with this wonderful piece. I've always admired your work but you've blown me away with the depth, detail and love you put into this masterpiece of cinematic review. As a movie buff I offer my most sincere thanks.
I wasn't expecting this but wow, this was great! Even though I haven't seen Superman IV for years, it was great to see all of the locations and what they look like today!
Cheers Mike!
well done Ollie more documentary's like this would be welcome
Wow !!! Well done on Oliver on such a passion project, you must be very proud. Amazing video, a lot of time and effort has clearly gone into this, the production, colour grading, even the end titles all done to a high standard. Brilliant
Thank you very much Martyn!
Great job! Love Superman, and this was every bit as well put together as your retrospective videos. When WB inevitably screams copyright on this video, you should ask them to put this on the Superman IV DVDs as an extra.
This was extremely well done. I think you put more effort into this documentary than the writers put into the script.
