Actually no. He would have bounced off the train and left a dent on it. Unless he intends to stop it, and at the point in the movie, he didn't have the flight powers that could allow him to instant stop it.

I was in sixth grade. I was there opening night with my school buddies and it does bring back great memories because obviously we didn’t know this kid was gonna lift it up and I remember everyone laughing that was 1978. I remember it like yesterday here, I am at 57 years old, wow great memories. I’m probably the same age as Glen Ford right now, but I will tell you if I’m the Director they did a great scene, but I would’ve changed the look on Glenn’s face and say something like you have to be kidding me I mean something in complete shock. I mean, you have a baby lifting a truck and they don’t even say anything.
My brother and I would argue who would be Superman and who would be Lex Luther, I'd win, if I didn't get my way I'd say I'm not playing, shhhh memories.
Its strange to think a football that fell from an air plane could be going mach 30 Allen, but what do i know im just payed to lie about stuff on tv. oops i wasnt supposed to say that out loud. You heard nothing.
@@safalparajuli it's called a football in America for a reason. Also, his hometown of Smallville is in Texas USA, last I checked, not somewhere in the UK or Europe.
Yeah it definitely doesn't look natural but it's still kinda cool. I guess we can't be too hard on the F/X team though cuz this was pre-CGI & there were alot more limitations on those guys back in 1977.
Love how Jonathan isn't totally stunned by the fact that a toddler can lift a truck by himself, instead he chucks the rag on the ground like "Well I'll be." 70s acting man, gotta love it. Also there is no way that no-one else on that train apart from Lois saw Clark running alongside them.
It was 5 minutes earlier that he witnessed the same toddler survive and walk out of a meteor that crashed. Otherworldly is already something the Kents view the toddler as being.
I think he slammed the rag down because at that point he knew they would not be searching for his parents rather they are stuck with him and that's that.

@@ShelJones Wait so it's different cuts damn I remember a boy saying there's someone outside and he was told to stop lying I thought I remembered it wrong seeing this scene with little Lois
There is a different cut where it wasn't mentioned that the girl was Lois Lane. They cut it out becausd Margo Kidder is visibly older than Christopher Reeve. The scene made it back in in the televised versions. So youre not crazy.
I can't wait for this to come out. Going to go watch it at my local drive in theater. It will help to bring us all together. Especially after just losing Elvis.
It's cool that her name is not just alliterative, but ends in Ls as well (as "LL" initials are a common trend in Superman lore; even Clark's birth name, Kal-El, ends in Ls).
fun fact - over 3,000 "f"s were used in the comic book of superman during the 1930's - a depression led to a decline in the letter f, and so letters such as "q" and "p" were oft overused - a bit like an old woman boiling cabbage and beating her rugs and kids with the same stick....eventually Wall Street recovered and she gave rise to coke addict marxist grandchildren who now promulgate race war and Vatican One World Govt.
I remember when I was a teenager, and they were filming these school and train scenes in my hometown. I went to that school for 7 years. And that road he runs down to his home at the end, well, a few miles on, is the farm I grew up on. It was a big deal for our small town to see Hollywood move in that summer. Fond memories
I knew the Lois bit from the beginning. But what I just realized is they used the same actress who plays Martha Clark Kent to reprise her role in Bryan Singer’s underrated Superman Returns from 2006. Wow.
@Hedgehobbit I wonder why didn't Lois bring up that boy from the train to clark?she must still remember the train. After seeing, Superman. I'm surprised she never thought the boy running past the train
I have only just realised at 41 years of age; that the girl on the Train was Lois Lane!! Another classic within a film, of the director setting something up for later!!
If I'm not mistaken, the woman playing the part of the mother to the young girl 'Lois Lane' is the original Lois lane in the TV series that came out in the 1950's. If it isn't, they probably picked an actress that looked like her with this in mind.
I remember when the Director’s Cut released on DVD that added in the young Lois Lane scene, my older brother felt so vindicated because he swore for decades that he saw that scene. But it was never shown before that so everybody thought he was crazy. Then we found out that when this movie was broadcast on television for the first time after the original theatrical release, it was 3 hours long (not counting the commercials!) The network showed the uncut version in order to use more commercial time. They also did this for Superman II.
@country Except in this case he was correct. The Lois scene DID exist and he DID see it in that one broadcast. It wasn’t until decades later that the Director’s Cut added the scene back in.
I was a kid back in 1978 and I got several packs of Superman the Movie bubble gum cards. There was a card of the young Lois on the train scene and we were all confused. Crazy times in Mrs. Ledbetter's third grade classroom, I'll tell ya. 😁
Fun Fact: On 04:15 Lois's parents on that scene was the casts of early Superman live-action films, for example: Lois's father was Kirk Alyn the first live-action Superman (1948-1950) And Lois's mother was Noel Neill the first "Lois Lane" (1948-1958) RIP 🙏🙏🙏
If he didn't make it past. There are two scenarios. 1. He gets hit by one of two corners of locomotive and leaves a big dent. 2. Gets hit dead on, leaves a big dent and gets run over. If any part of his body is on the rails. It'll act as a derailleur and flip said train over.
Always loved the Mad Magazine parody of this scene: "Look, pa! I'm running faster than the train!" "It's the Long Island Railroad, son. Some folks walk faster than it. But keep it up, I'm real proud of ya!"
I like the parody of the sequel, where the President describes Superman as a guy who wears bright colors and a cape and Zod says, "Ah, one of 'Them'! On Krapton, we also had a gay rights movement!"
His above the waist motion (like skating)was completely at odds with his leg movements. A normal man's torso would have been torn asunder under those opposing stresses. Seriously!
Many people don't know that teenage Clark Kent's voice was actually Christopher Reeve's voice. Dubbed over the younger actor's talking. FOR SOME DAMNED REASON. Because apparently the original voice of the younger actor (Jeff East) was not close enough to Christopher's, and they wanted the teen Clark to be sounding more like the 30 year old Clark in Metropolis etc. But yeah, that's actually NOT Jeff's voice, but Reeve's....dubbed in there. Whatever...........
Movies back then were real escapism. I'm glad i lived those times. Movies nowadays act as meer screen savers with occasional gems but few and far between.
I grew up in the 80's and watched this movie countless times. For some reason I don't recall ever putting that together until now. Must have something to do with how foggy our memory gets after decades upon decades. Watching it fresh as an adult contained in a clip makes it really pop out! When before watching the movie you get caught up in like this movie mode mentally that just lets some little things blend into the background. I will admit, very strange I never noticed this until 2020.
That footage was added years later for the directors cut. It was always cut out of the original release. Same as the scenes where lex luthor attempts to stop superman using fire... Ice.... And heavy machine guns. Also of interest: the actors playing lois' mother and father portrayed superman and Lois in earlier versions. Yes.... I need to get out more.... But the worrying thing is.... I do get out... A lot.
I love the cinematography here. The way they film the train thundering down the tracks really conveys its speed and power. That Clark is playing games with such a thing subconsciously communicates that Clark is that much mightier, while also emphasizing his lighthearted nature. Fantastic example of “show don’t tell”.
Yes, but actually in this video scene, it is not Christopher Reeves, it is different actor playing young teen clark kent. I forgot his name, u can google it.
The father of modern-day superhero comics, and also the father of big-budget superhero movies. I love MOS but damn, this one is still the best Superman movie ever.
You mean Lois. 🙂 She also played the character in the Superman movie serials. Kirk Alyn played her father in this scene, and he played Superman in the movie serials.
Those railway tracks at 4:09 were a sign of things to come later in the film, when Superman replaced the missing portion to save a train from derailing.
I was 6 when I saw this beautiful Movie Superman with my dad. I was just awwwwwwww and saw the cinema of next level. Thanks for sharing my childhood memories. God bless everyone 🙏
Few superhero movies have this much heart. The special effects are outdated and Clark runs like one of the kids from Scooby Doo. But this film, at least this section, is classic Americana.
Lois Lanes mother on the train was performed by Noel Neill who portrayed the original Lois Lane on televisions "The Adventures of Superman" back in the 50's!
0:04 - The child actor who is playing young Kal-El is Aaron Smolinski. He also played the boy at the photo booth in Superman 3 (1983) and a Communications Officer in Man of Steel (2013).
It was a pleasure and a privilege to see this movie on the big screen in those 70's. The 70's were my favourite years for cinema and life in general. As well as this movie, I also got to see Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Evel Knievel and Watch Out We're Mad which was a double bill with another movie. This is all thanks to my Mum and Dad. The 70's was a decade of magic.
The scene inside the train looked like an extended scene to my memory. I grew up watching this on VHS and I don't remember the girl being identified as Lois Lane. In the VHS version I think the mom just says something like, "now what did I tell you about making up stories", or something like that. I only saw it in the theater once in like 1979, when I was 5 years old.
@Jon Valler their are significant difference's in the paradigms people are growing up in every decade. It was not this way a few hundred years ago at all. Things are changing more rapidly every generation. Multiple generation's used to have more similar, if not the same, paradigms they were raised in. Things are changing in more dynamic way's then I believe you are able to consider. Additionally irregardless of what generation we're talking about not everyone grows to appreciate the retrospective of their childhood memories either. He might share more details and richness of his experience, of the past, that you have no access to, if you were more open to listening to your elders. Things are changing all the time, and I don't believe you know where we are going at all. You don't even seem to know where you come from.
@@blanked3 I was born in 1974, and I've seen times change, but I can ultimately say if it has gotten worse or better. It's is all different and more... for the worse, and... For the better. Good intentions do not necessarily yield good changes. We might be moving closer and closer to better potential, that we don't know how to directly intend either. History as well as our future is full of people experiencing the mutually exclusive most unimaginably best of times, and the unbelievably worst of times. Cherish the good times while they're here. Try not to worry about the past or the future. The only time that exists in reality is right now. Good luck my friends.
This was the first movie I watched at the cinema as a kid. My dad and uncle picked me up after school, and I remember there wasn't many people in the theatre for the early afternoon show. I was blown away and instantly became a Superman/Christopher Reeve fan. You NEVER forget your first movie experience, and I was lucky that mine was... ahem... Super. 😉

Actors nowadays should be thankful. Now we have CGI, but back then actors had to actually train to run this fast. Simply remarkable.

Sadly, actor even was left quadriplegic after the exhaustive sessions of training to defeat gravity.

For a second I thought you were serious
Don't forget how hard they trained to hover
After he kicked the football and the train showed up, I half expected the football to smack the train. 3:16
Just like the baseball he hit into space in Superman IV could have hit the Russian space station he saved earlier
And derail it
Same
The football should had exploded upon impact with his foot.
I expecpected him to ran and catch it before its hit the ground,then run after the train.
When Baby Superman hugged Ma Kent’s neck, he could have easily broken it. He learned self control immediately

I remember when I was a teenager, and they were filming these school and train scenes in my hometown. I went to that school for 7 years. And that road he runs down to his home at the end, well, a few miles on, is the farm I grew up on.
It was a big deal for our small town to see Hollywood move in that summer. Fond memories
😮😮
You must be from southern Alberta. 😊
I just realized that girl on the train was Lois lane?
Her parents were Lois Lane from the TV show of the fifties, and Superman from the Radio in the forties.

Still better running form than the flash from justice league.
Yes.
Ezra was running like a bitch. Couldn't stop laughing at the theater.
IKR!
That cringy pose before he begins to run, you'll hear him say he researched it
Lol
After all these year I’ve only just realised “the girl on the train is the lady Superman ends up with.”
Me too
In the theatrical version, they cut the part where the girl exclaims to the parents (who, BTW, played Superman and Lois Lane in the serials).
I knew the Lois bit from the beginning. But what I just realized is they used the same actress who plays Martha Clark Kent to reprise her role in Bryan Singer’s underrated Superman Returns from 2006. Wow.
@@zorkmid1083 I didn’t realize the parents were the original Superman and Lois from the serials. Holy. 🤯
@@mensrea1251 Blew my mind too when i first heard about it.😁
This movie does more character development in 5 minutes than modern movies do in 2 hours.
@Hedgehobbit I wonder why didn't Lois bring up that boy from the train to clark?she must still remember the train. After seeing, Superman. I'm surprised she never thought the boy running past the train
You ain't lying brotha
That’s why it’s still a masterpiece.
I have only just realised at 41 years of age; that the girl on the Train was Lois Lane!!
Another classic within a film, of the director setting something up for later!!
Exatamente Loys Lane
Thought he called her Lana....
SAme here I have seen this movie too many times to count and I just realized that it was Lois lol
@@vickynewnham261 He did call the girl he met by the bench Lana; young Lois Lane, was the girl on the train... "No one ever believes me".
If I'm not mistaken, the woman playing the part of the mother to the young girl 'Lois Lane' is the original Lois lane in the TV series that came out in the 1950's. If it isn't, they probably picked an actress that looked like her with this in mind.
I remember when the Director’s Cut released on DVD that added in the young Lois Lane scene, my older brother felt so vindicated because he swore for decades that he saw that scene. But it was never shown before that so everybody thought he was crazy.
Then we found out that when this movie was broadcast on television for the first time after the original theatrical release, it was 3 hours long (not counting the commercials!) The network showed the uncut version in order to use more commercial time. They also did this for Superman II.
They also did it with Jaws and King Kong 76. I think sometimes they aired them over two nights.
@country Except in this case he was correct. The Lois scene DID exist and he DID see it in that one broadcast. It wasn’t until decades later that the Director’s Cut added the scene back in.
@country Not true, the monocle is actually there. This 2 minute video explains it perfectly: m.th-cam.com/video/iik25wqIuFo/w-d-xo.html
I was a kid back in 1978 and I got several packs of Superman the Movie bubble gum cards. There was a card of the young Lois on the train scene and we were all confused. Crazy times in Mrs. Ledbetter's third grade classroom, I'll tell ya. 😁
Technically it was two for one. The actress playing Lois' mother played Lois Lane in the Adventures of Superman TV series with George Reeves
superman 1978, still better effects than Bollywood 2017

The young superman running with train is a bad effect. He looks like he popping up and down like a bunny rabbit.

I was today years old when I realised Lois Lane was on the train
Same!.. 44 years later! ❤️ 😂😍😍

Fun Fact:
On 04:15 Lois's parents on that scene was the casts of early Superman live-action films, for example: Lois's father was Kirk Alyn the first live-action Superman (1948-1950) And Lois's mother was Noel Neill the first "Lois Lane" (1948-1958) RIP 🙏🙏🙏

Imagine if he didn't make it past the train? Biggest train crash Smallville has ever seen.
If he didn't make it past. There are two scenarios.
1. He gets hit by one of two corners of locomotive and leaves a big dent.
2. Gets hit dead on, leaves a big dent and gets run over. If any part of his body is on the rails. It'll act as a derailleur and flip said train over.
Discovered more like it!!
Kansas
Young Kent derails train, kills hundreds.
😂 l like how nobody realizes @connextro is a train aficionado and train will always be > superman in his mind
The scene where the kid lifts the car is so simple, yet so impactful. Less can be so much more.
*_1:31_*
*_Clark: holds truck_*
*_Dad: “a’ight, you’re the man of the house now”_*
He runs so weird tho, like he just cycled his arms up front 😂
Yh it was weird like he's pulled up on a wire and running in the air
That's 1970 practical effects for you.
He was attached to harness and the film was sped up.
No croma
he can’t fully fly yet. this is his semi flying mode, running between ground and air.
Always loved the Mad Magazine parody of this scene:
"Look, pa! I'm running faster than the train!"
"It's the Long Island Railroad, son. Some folks walk faster than it. But keep it up, I'm real proud of ya!"
😂😂😂
I like the parody of the sequel, where the President describes Superman as a guy who wears bright colors and a cape and Zod says, "Ah, one of 'Them'! On Krapton, we also had a gay rights movement!"
The music is what ties together every scene. And this was no exception.
brad: “Clean this up Clark!”
clark: takes brad by the ears, draws his leg back and punts brad to Kentucky.
More like Hey Brad pick up that Quarter!! 🤣
Couldn't they just drive the train slowly, make him run alongside, and then speed up the entire shot? His run looks so unnatural
It was the goofiest running I EVER saw!
His above the waist motion (like skating)was completely at odds with his leg movements. A normal man's torso would have been torn asunder under those opposing stresses. Seriously!
No. If you try that you'll make it worse. You get more unnatural motion this way.
Well how would you know? Maybe that's just how a human's gait looks when they're running at 60 mph.
@@evrint Nigga u stupid. Don't pick up physics or anything engineering related
Many people don't know that teenage Clark Kent's voice was actually Christopher Reeve's voice. Dubbed over the younger actor's talking. FOR SOME DAMNED REASON. Because apparently the original voice of the younger actor (Jeff East) was not close enough to Christopher's, and they wanted the teen Clark to be sounding more like the 30 year old Clark in Metropolis etc. But yeah, that's actually NOT Jeff's voice, but Reeve's....dubbed in there. Whatever...........
is that true? or false? ill have to consult a fact checker channell to find out
@@TribunalxWarrior true. Jeff East was pissed when he found out.
1977
Movies back then were real escapism. I'm glad i lived those times. Movies nowadays act as meer screen savers with occasional gems but few and far between.
The actors nailed this part. A man in desbelif, a child crazy wife. You can really feel their pain when trying to figure out what to do.
The train just evaded in the last second from being hit by Clark
@Big Hawn chuck was merely blinking and the force behind every blink pushed it
Actually he would of derailed the train!!!
@@rhuttrho88 honestly if that train hit him he would’ve gotten everyone in that train killed

@@rhuttrho88 Like Handcock would have
Been watching this movie for years just realized 20 seconds ago THAT THE LITTLE GIRL IS LOIS LANE!!
My whole life was a conspiracy...
I grew up in the 80's and watched this movie countless times. For some reason I don't recall ever putting that together until now. Must have something to do with how foggy our memory gets after decades upon decades. Watching it fresh as an adult contained in a clip makes it really pop out!
When before watching the movie you get caught up in like this movie mode mentally that just lets some little things blend into the background.
I will admit, very strange I never noticed this until 2020.
@TheW0o0w 4:22
That footage was added years later for the directors cut. It was always cut out of the original release. Same as the scenes where lex luthor attempts to stop superman using fire... Ice.... And heavy machine guns. Also of interest: the actors playing lois' mother and father portrayed superman and Lois in earlier versions. Yes.... I need to get out more.... But the worrying thing is.... I do get out... A lot.
@@dermothealy772 Well that makes a lot of sense of why we don't remember this. Thanks for that info Dermot!
Me to i was like wow Lois Lane
I love the cinematography here. The way they film the train thundering down the tracks really conveys its speed and power. That Clark is playing games with such a thing subconsciously communicates that Clark is that much mightier, while also emphasizing his lighthearted nature. Fantastic example of “show don’t tell”.
He was the best Superman ever!R.I.P. C.R. we love you.
Yes, but actually in this video scene, it is not Christopher Reeves, it is different actor playing young teen clark kent. I forgot his name, u can google it.
Jeff East
Not really. Take your nostalgia blinders off. And dudes been dead for a while . Enough with the stupid fuckin R.I.P.s. he's dead, not resting dipshit

Its good to see the original Louis Lane from the TV series playing Louis Lanes mother. Brilliant 👏
Louis?? Is that Lois’s cross-dressing brother? 😄
You mean Lois. 🙂 She also played the character in the Superman movie serials. Kirk Alyn played her father in this scene, and he played Superman in the movie serials.

Better CGI in the 70’s than in the early 90’s, incredible
Yes
There was no Conmputer in 70's so where does CGI come from 😂
Gowramma V same think :)
And the current time. Look at mos. that was just eye burning bad
@Gowramma V There were computers in the '70s. Star Wars is the biggest example where they used CGI.
This is one of my favorite scenes from any movie Seeing him race that train is simply awesome.
Those effects weren't very special.
Woohoooo!!😂
They were when the movie came out, you should be grateful you millennials
Damn! People are so triggered over this comment, calm down, it's not that deep.
lol millenials...
Booley 1 and what exactly should they be grateful for? Do you even know what that word means?
How cool that young Lois Lane sees Clarke whit her mom being the OG Lois Lane and dad being Jimmy Olsen
Those railway tracks at 4:09 were a sign of things to come later in the film, when Superman replaced the missing portion to save a train from derailing.
I was 6 when I saw this beautiful Movie Superman with my dad. I was just awwwwwwww and saw the cinema of next level. Thanks for sharing my childhood memories. God bless everyone 🙏
Wow💓
That's awesome 😊
That football just passed over my house
Anybody who saw this in the cinema when it was released will never forget it.Truly awesome at the time.
Few superhero movies have this much heart.
The special effects are outdated and Clark runs like one of the kids from Scooby Doo.
But this film, at least this section, is classic Americana.
BRUH YOU FUCKING KILLED ME
I wouldn't at all say that "few superhero movies have heart" but this one sure is a cinematic classic.

More like 200 quintillion tons. (All Star Superman)
He benched the entire Earth for five days straight and hardly broke a sweat in the comics

Lois Lanes mother on the train was performed by Noel Neill who portrayed the original Lois Lane on televisions "The Adventures of Superman" back in the 50's!
0:04 - The child actor who is playing young Kal-El is Aaron Smolinski. He also played the boy at the photo booth in Superman 3 (1983) and a Communications Officer in Man of Steel (2013).
Without unstable camera moves and without VFX , without unnecessary music.. such a classic scene
I miss the days when jittercam isn't overused.
Lois’s parents are Noel Neill and Kirk Alyn, who portrayed Lois and Clark/Superman in film serials in the late 40s/early 50s.
Had to confirm your statement. :)
That's an amazing fact. I would never have guessed
That’s pretty cool
What a lovely little fact.
You could tell by the sound of their voices.
Chris Reeve is the best Superman!
So loise was a child when Clark was in high school
It's only a couple year difference its not like they are decades apart
I was just thinking the same, so Clark is that much older than Lois? Lol

It was a pleasure and a privilege to see this movie on the big screen in those 70's. The 70's were my favourite years for cinema and life in general. As well as this movie, I also got to see Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Evel Knievel and Watch Out We're Mad which was a double bill with another movie. This is all thanks to my Mum and Dad. The 70's was a decade of magic.
The scene inside the train looked like an extended scene to my memory. I grew up watching this on VHS and I don't remember the girl being identified as Lois Lane. In the VHS version I think the mom just says something like, "now what did I tell you about making up stories", or something like that. I only saw it in the theater once in like 1979, when I was 5 years old.
I kinda wish I grew up during your time instead of nowadays, modern society sucks.....
@Jon Valler their are significant difference's in the paradigms people are growing up in every decade. It was not this way a few hundred years ago at all. Things are changing more rapidly every generation. Multiple generation's used to have more similar, if not the same, paradigms they were raised in.
Things are changing in more dynamic way's then I believe you are able to consider. Additionally irregardless of what generation we're talking about not everyone grows to appreciate the retrospective of their childhood memories either. He might share more details and richness of his experience, of the past, that you have no access to, if you were more open to listening to your elders.
Things are changing all the time, and I don't believe you know where we are going at all. You don't even seem to know where you come from.
@@blanked3 I was born in 1974, and I've seen times change, but I can ultimately say if it has gotten worse or better. It's is all different and more... for the worse, and... For the better. Good intentions do not necessarily yield good changes. We might be moving closer and closer to better potential, that we don't know how to directly intend either.
History as well as our future is full of people experiencing the mutually exclusive most unimaginably best of times, and the unbelievably worst of times.
Cherish the good times while they're here. Try not to worry about the past or the future. The only time that exists in reality is right now. Good luck my friends.
I think,70's and 80'sare remarkable
Saw this at 6 years old... 50 now... Never realized the girl was Lois! ❤️ 😍😍😍

This was the first movie I watched at the cinema as a kid. My dad and uncle picked me up after school, and I remember there wasn't many people in the theatre for the early afternoon show.
