The brando stories are awesome. Love stamp's story & funny was he telling it. Very sweet that brando read the script for the very first time when they were on set ! Ithat he actually got excited about the movie once he read it & i know he got paid a lot but not only did his name get hackman finances backers but also i think donner sounds like such a great guy i mean every single actor crew person said they adored donner. I think his excitement as well. So i think this sounds like the last movie brando was into doing. Him saying no press than calling up all this press what a boost too. Brando hated talking to press about films so for him to do it for this one sounds so great
Ilya Salkind seemed to want to make a good movie but you get the sense his father Alexander was penny pinching like crazy and putting tons of pressure on his son to move everything along.
Cooper getting the role of Perry remined me of Michael Biehn stepping in to become Hicks, after Remar was originally Hicks. Cameron asked him if he had his passport in order and if so, immediately fly over to England to film Aliens, and the rest is history.
The Russo brothers had the same kind of mentality as Donner - they were fans, comic book geeks, and they were going to preserve the integrity of the fandom. There were a lot of famous directors that never worked on the Marvel movies because they wanted "creative control" - they would have done whatever the fuck they wanted and handed the baton off to the next person - like what happened when Rian Johnson directed The Last Jedi. The Russos had an over-arching plan, and directors had some level of creativity, but there were some things they couldn't fuck with. So from different director to different director, they still had an overall plan that unified all these movies. That's what would have happened if Donner had control of the entire Superman saga if he hadn't been fired. And he probably would have spawned the Justice League universe before Marvel.
Well, there was a note added to the home-video releases of the first two "Superman" films, starting in 2000. The last part of the end credits has a disclaimer about fur usage as depicted back then. Personally, if it came down to the animal or me, I'd pick me.
RIP. you're the best Superman director.
R.i.p. tom mankewitz
This film and cast are PERFECTION, from start to finish!!! The BEST Superman, and Lois!! RIP
RIP Richard Donner. Loved his contributions to this documentary and especially to the films he gave us.
I don't care what anyone says Chris Reeve is the best Superman/Clark, made so much better because of John Williams perfect soundtrack.
The majority agrees.
Chris will ALWAYS be Superman. He was perfect.
lightning in a bottle
Brando was just perfect. No matter his methods (no pun intended), he helped sell that movie.

Who knows how Alexander raised all that dough? 🤔
Love the Brandon story, he was difficult especially on the set of Apocalypse now
its hard to watch donners voice crack at 12,42, i almost cry watching it
Cooper getting the role of Perry remined me of Michael Biehn stepping in to become Hicks, after Remar was originally Hicks. Cameron asked him if he had his passport in order and if so, immediately fly over to England to film Aliens, and the rest is history.
That story about portraying Jor El as a bagel is hilarious.
Superman was part of superhero movie film history
Awesome, never knew Darth Vader trained Superman!!
David Prowse, his trainer at 12:41 is the actor that played Darth Vader (sans James Earl Jones's voice).
Oh, absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why he agreed to voice Jor-El's AI for "Smallville". I love his story about Jack O'Halloran.
RIP Chris x
17:35 - 20:04 Quite a story.
Reeve was by far the greatest Superman. His Clark was a little too goofy at times. But his Superman was just the best.
Margot Kidding wearing Superman's shirt cracked me up.
Pablo Martinez yeah was pretty funny. she was pretty hot back in day aswell!
That should have been Superman 3
Margot Kidder is as Lois they come. She acted in Brian De Palma's Sisters in 1973.
In every interview with Dick Donner he's always wearing that "No fur" button!
His brother was killed by a furry.
Also wild that David Prowse (Darth Vader) trained Superman.
Yeah, I think I figured that out!
8:23 Yeah so would I. 😂😂😂😂 This guy is fucking nuts!
Brando was a weird dude 😁
I think most great actors are crazy. Like the Phoenix brothers.

13:54 Is that the voice of Kreia from Star Wars KOTOR 2?
The opening scenes of young Clark have not been outdone. Although I always thought it could have used more dragons.
Whaaaaa...? 🤔
Chris put on 42lb of muscle to play Superman

He sounds like Kermit when he's Clark
Sad what happened to Chris Reeves 😢
*Reeve
Not 'every' interview. Besides, I don't mind the button. It's a good sign against Cruella DeVil wannabes.
That's because he's now an "animal rights" advocate.
Sarah is beautiful.
