“Well, that’s funny. I’ve never seen garbage eat garbage before”
Love it, the most direct trash talk ever....
The Erikin84 I see what you did there..
I missed what he did there until you mentioned there was something he did there. Then I also saw what he did there. 💪
"Garbage eating garbage"
That technically counts as Cannibalism!
He is unintentionally calling there food garbage...
Is garbage eating garbage some sort of recycling?
Rest in peace Mr. Christopher Reeves. You filled my childhood with joy.
*Reeve
unfortunately he wasn't a good person and he was sent to the phantom zone.
Ricky Bond when You drive to your gf’s house to take her to the movies.
He ain't dead yet..
Javed Khan Yeah.. same here ❤️
To all the people who hate this scene: He was teaching a bully a lesson, he didn't actually harm him and then he paid for the damage! What's not to love?
That spin, or shive, could have easily killed the guy.
@@deborahthompson849 Technically the hits given to Clark by Rocky should not have made him bleed so much. And smashing Rockys head like this could have caused brain damage. The two battles are measured with two scales. First it appears to be horrific as clark suffers damage. Lois shouts at rocky. All are shocked like a greys anatomy scene. Yet in the seconsd scene where Rocky gets hits who could cause damage, it is played in a goofy or funny way. Like Bud spencer movies. And do not forget Clark started the confrontation because of a sitting issue. Maybe Rocky is a macho and had taken his seat but Clark was no idol model in that scene either. THey could have gone simply to another table. So it appears bully vs Bully. Rocky could not know if CLark was a dangerous, violent person the first time, wanting to start a battle outside because of a chair. So he had some reason to defend himself.
@@danielschoch4881 You've missed the point entirely. The reason why there was a battle over a chair to begin with was because when Clark was at the diner with Lois the first time around Rocky came and sat himself down beside Lois when Clark went into the rest room, even though he jolly well knew that Clark was with her. He asks Lois if he can buy her something to eat, simply to get under Clark's skin. When Clark came out of the rest room and saw Rocky with Lois he says to him that the seat next to Lois is already taken. Rocky responds by saying that your seat's in there, four-eyes (in reference to the rest room). When Clark responds by saying that someone ought to teach Rocky some manners, that's when the ensuing battle begins. Clark was simply standing up for his woman. Rocky was the antagonist. Clark came back to the diner in this scene to give Rocky a taste of his own medicine, not necessarily to extract revenge. He achieves that by giving Rocky a very bruised ego. And maybe a sore head and hand to boot.
@@darrenmiles-morland8038 Whatever. Would you defend Clark if it would be another person in another movie doing this? Or are you simply defending him because he is superman. Do not miss a thing. rocky is a bully sure. But going to another table would have solved the problem, so starting the battle or trying to beat rocky on his own field was not really standing for his woman in a good way.
True very true I have always loved Christopher Reeve
Reeve really was a hero.
His courage and resilience after his tragic accident was a great inspiration to me. He never gave up.
I felt emotional when he appeared in Smallville. It must have meant such a lot to Tom Welling, as it was seen as a passing of the torch.
Christopher Reeve, the music, it just made you feel like everything was going to be alright.
Yeah John Williams is pretty much the Godfather of movie music
Yup. Spot on
This music reminds me of my childhood, a simpler time
Take away the arbitrary and perceived need for “dark and gritty” and the fixation on over-the-top action and fight scenes... and that feeling you’re describing is, at his core, what Superman is all about. That what Superman is SUPPOSED to be about. People always complain “Oh Superman is too perfect! He’s too powerful! He’s too good!” The point isn’t that he’s powerful or perfect. The point is that good always has a chance. That things can turn out right. That’s what “Hope” means. That just maybe everything will be alright.
@@masonpines6349 yes, this type of feeling is missing in today's movie
He was absolutely the ideal actor for this classic. That right there "I've been working out" should be one of the top lines in movie history.
He's still the most goofiest Clark Kent, and that makes his transition into Superman more impressive than any other Supie actors managed to display, who appear more like "Superman in a leisure outfit changing into his duty suit" when they switch.
Paul Whitaker, true sir
You Preach the truth. I wholeheartedly agree
The most superman face ever.
0:55 ahahaha :D I don’t care this always brightens my day - go Reeve!!
Christopher Reeve will always be the definitive Superman. He was a symbol of hope to millions of people. He made Superman the iconic figure he is today. That smile at the end always gets me emotional. It’s as if he’s looking at you telling you, “I’m watching over you.” Even after his accident, he lived out his life inspiring others about perseverance and being an advocate for stem cell research. He would be proud to hear that there have been some people who were once confined to a wheelchair who have gone on to walk again. Fly high Christopher Reeve, forever our Superman. 💙❤️
YOU DAMN RIGHT
Amen!
FOREVER AND ALWAYS, 🐐
You took the words right out my mouth
he was the best looking out of all the supermans too.
The flyby and smile at the end always made me feel safe and protected as a kid.
To me it's a short but legendary moment in cinema history.
Did you believe in Santa Claus too?
@@darylfoster7944oh dear someone has to ruin things for no reason
Everybody gangsta til Superman wants his seat back
Aaron Fenton 😂
Unless it Hulk sitting there. Then it's sm saying I got a to go order.
Unless it’s Godzilla from 2019 then they both will piss thier panties lol joking 🤣👍😎
Ain't that the truth...
I love this scene too since as I was a kid. I always wonder where is this burger joint? It look like the restaurant in the middle nowhere and it also shape like a bus.
The late 70s and early 80s gave us the Superman movies, Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones movies, Alien, ET, Star Trek movies... what a time for Scifi and Fantasy fans.
Yep, it was definitely the golden age of cinema for Gen X. None of the remakes/reboots/sequels could ever come close to those films. They had soul.
@@crazyralph6386concordo contigo.
I still remember going to the theatre with my father and siblings. We all had a big smile on our faces. Mr. Reeves is the standard for playing this iconic role.
Gimme another plate of this garbage. Told my mom that once. Still can't see color out of my left eye.
In the theater for this scene, the audience shouted out, "Oh shit," clapping 😅
Henry Cavil is the only one that comes close, they both look like they were made in a lab with the sole purpose to play the role of Superman
@GNMbg I like Henry too his Clark Kent isn't clumsy. He has more of a serious approach to the role. I don't think he and Reeve look alike. As a child, I loved Reeve as Superman. He had a certain charm with his character. The music helps too
@@actuary33 that comment made me burst out in laughter 🤣🤣🤣
Christopher Reeve will always be the real Superman.
And Adam West will be the real Batman.
He was an actor.
@@williamhaynes4800 that show was super cheesy, and I loved every single cheesy episode...lol.
@@bubbaho-tep3468
Definitely. I watched the entire series on DVD with my 12 year old girl. The 1st thing she said was "That's not the real Batman!". She changed her mind after the Zsa Zsa Gabor《Minerva》episode. Thank the Lord it was released before AW passed. R.I.P. Adam West, Long live Batman.
@@williamhaynes4800 Liberace was Adam West's fave guest star.
In a hundred years time and 17 Superman reboots later that man will still be the greatest incarnation of the character.
effects were shit though
Cavill is doing a really good job representing the character but nobody will ever be Reeves.
@@bewmdogg - actually they were very good.
@@thegame346 yea man absolutely
Ngl, I will always absolutely love Reeves, his version of Superman is absolutely incredible, but for me personally, my favourite so far probably has to be Tyler's version, I just love his version, it takes the best parts from Reeves, and Cavil, and seems to mix them into one person, and I just love that. But Reeves will always hold a special place in my heart
I have never seen another actor recreate what Christopher Reeves did with this character. Whenever he’s Clark Kent he plays him completely different from Superman in every way. It’s amazing to watch. I remember Annette O’Toole saying in an interview that it was like working with two different actors.
When I was a small child I had difficulty visualizing them as the same person and I asked my father if it was 2 different actors and he assured me that it was the same actor. No other actor has ever done the clumsy bumbling socially awkward NERD Clark Kent like Chris Reeve. Clark Kent should be a NERD and he is NOT a nerd with the other actors.
That guy who never stops eating and just turns out of the way with his plate as Rocky goes sliding by is my hero.
Man I remember how good it made you feel when you heard that theme
Yeah, perfect for a superman movie.
V.L.07...never seen
Goosebumps
I totally remember and agree..I want the old days back👍
Still does
Actors should thank CGI now
Chris had to actually fly out in the space to shoot the scene
RIP LEGEND ❤️❤️😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's true. ua-cam.com/video/niiNPH64Xv4/v-deo.html
He had to learn to fly AND hold his breath for minutes on end. A true legend.
@@Alaska-Jack this is no laughing matter.
Dang what a trip lmao
Never will there be a more iconic music score than this. You hear that, and you know Superman is coming. These movies age like fine wine.
Jaws theme: "Hold my beer".
"come and get it four eyes"
Clarke adjusts his glasses
No one like Mr. CHRISTOPHER REEVE....NO ONE
My favorite part
Not only was Christopher Reeves portrayal of Superman amazing, but his Clark Kent was the absolute best ever!
Yup 😂
He just beat Zod and his thugs, superbeings...... so did anyone think Superman was going to lose to the bully down at the diner? lol
The only actor who nailed both Superman and Clark
@@josephinetracy1485 I'm guessing you didn't actually watch the movie. Sorry about that Miss, but you might want to delete your comment, because previously in the movie he chose to lose his powers, and be a normal person, and hence he had his ass kicked. So boom goes the dynamite.
@@doncleveland1245 Your response doesn't even match or contradict the comment. Do you really want to have an infantile debate?
There will never be another Superman, like Christopher Reeves...........may he continue to RIP
Christopher Reeve was a Superman in front of the camera and in real life. As Superman, he gave a generation of kids joy and inspiration. Despite the tragic accident in his life, he continued to live his life with integrity, teaching adults perseverance and true courage. You earned your wings, Christopher Reeve. Now you can truly fly in Heaven. ❤
Agreed and he saved more lifes out screen than in it
Nah, he's teaching angels how to earn their capes.
Yup, mister, reeves just got his wings and became an angel.
I swear, this music and Christopher Reeve-nothing like them, unparalled!
That's old school porn music.
And Lois Lane with Margot K is awesome, I fell in love with her when I was a kid. ❤️❤️
these Superman movies with Chris Reeves and the music and the writing combination will never be defeated by other Superman movies.
Enjoyed the same music in Superman Returns.
The way he pushes his glasses up when told to “come and get it four eyes”. Brilliant touch
I’ll never get tired of seeing this scene.
Haha me too lol 😂
Nor I
Yes. As a kid in the 80s I believed he was too soft to the guy.
Henry in MOS handled it how I would do it.
Moral of the story: Don't tug on Superman's cape.
Nobody has and nobody ever will replace Christopher Reeve as Superman!!!
Christopher Reeve really brought this character to life. Beautiful human being.
RIP and thank you
And humanity
I was onley 7 year old when I watch superman 2 on big screen god bless Christopher reeves
Remember that John Williams is the composer of the music of Superman. God bless you Christopher Reeve.
You're so right! He owned it!
Christopher Reeve will always be the quintessential Superman. And these movies will always be the best Superman movies ever made.
I remember seeing this in the theatres. The audience laughed hysterically at his “oh I’ve been working out” line. Then they gave the movie a standing ovation during his flyby. It was such a great experience.
Best Superman movies minus 3 and 4.
It was a better time for America for sure.
Im right here
The superman 🦸♂️
my child hood hero
I love how everyone was absolutely happy that Clark humiliated the guy
@clarkkent8286 how does clark have soo much,money?his job barely pays anything
He doesn't pay rent (Fortress of Solitude) and probably not taxes, either (he lives somewhere North of Canada and probably does not have an address). He can fly so he does not need to pay for gasoline or automobile insurance. He doesn't feel heat or cold so he has no need for heating or air conditioning. Think about how many years he had to stick money away.@@paulsmith9192
@@paulsmith9192Did you forget that Clark can make Daimonds out of his power.
Because this is all Clark's win not Superman.
The MUSIC! John Williams’ score helped make these Superman movies just phenomenal. Can you say “out of this world.” Ha! Ha! I crack myself up.
“I’m terribly sorry about the damage sir. I’ve been working out”. Lol hilarious.
Then he looks at the camera.
James Watson Atheist Gamer
Lol
Yeah! Talk about going hard
Albert Pringle
Lol funny
such a great comeback line RIP Chris! We miss you!
Dear god, nostalgia or not... that music makes me fly. John Williams' golden age.
Every kid on the globe running around with a towel tied around their neck yelling this theme while “flying”... absolutely right - John Williams made this and so many others, the timeless classics they are.
Goosebumps every time I listen👍🏻
I got tears in my eyes watching this . The nostalgia!!!!
The good old days
Oh yes!!! RIP Christopher!
The one and only Superman Franchise. loved these as a kid. Let’s not forget the magnificent performance of Gene Hackman as Lex Luther and of course Terrance Stamp as General Zod. General Zod is my all time favourite film baddie and still inspires me in comedy banter about anger management issues.
He epitomized Superman.
The character, the devotion to good.
Christopher Reeve, bless you.
When a guy with glasses looks for trouble and pushes his glasses up...look out.
Hey ! Did do that all the time ! Clark Kent and Superman is copying my style ! Please stop that ! I'm the only one pushing up my glasses to get ready for a battle field of tormenting evil doer !
@@richardscaggs5936 you fking pussy don't act tough
@@dimitriskontor8617 You’re either funny or something bad.
Yeah, either he's crazy or very dangerous.
Google "armwrestling school boy" for the real life superman.
I always loved the ending when he is flying in outer space & smiles at th camera.
Used to mimic it as a kid, the flying was so well done in the reeves superman
Yeah me 2. And he is first looking around.. Probably to check if everything is alright
Sup is so stong he can break the 4th wall too.
Keith Bolding like John belushi in Animal House and up on the ladder and being a peeping Tom and he looks back at the camera with that lustful look in his eyes and WHOOPS, he falls backwards on the ground
He did that in all four films he played Superman in.
Once upon a time, movies really were this good.
Christopher Reeve was a gentleman in the true sense. RIP. sir.
Back when going to see a movie at the cinema was an event.
Those days will return.
To be fair, whatever your opinion of the MCU, they did a damn good job of making Endgame a huge summer mega-event.
Ya an the entire movie wasn’t ruined by the interwebs
exactly and wasnt freaking nitpicked by millennials. was relaxing and enjoyed back then
whah? avengers is my movie event. we get huge groups of people and see the films together. we all get so pumped
I'm 52, I saw this movie and scene in the theatre. Everyone laughed when he did the working out bit. This movie was a big deal in the late 70's.
'cept it was in the 80's.
The.first.Superman.movie.came.out.after.Star.Wars....the.sequel.came.out.in.either.1980.or.81
Superman II came out in 1980 dumbass
It came 1980
@@clmco36 why so rude? and 1980 is still part of the 1970s. after all there is no year 0
Perfect, I haven't watched the Christopher Reeve Superman movies in decades but he still is the best one. Once upon a time people handled the bullies & criminals, or better, called the Police, today most just try to ignore it so it can happen again, and again. He stood up for the waitress like a gentleman and standup guy. It was Christopher Reeves acting to look so awkward, nervous and a little scared as Clark but also strong, confident and polite as Superman; just like Superman was intended.
So true. I like this scene because it's the flip-side of what we're used to seeing. This is Superman under the guise of Clark Kent, out to set things right in the world.
Absolute hero 🥲 rest in peace Christopher 🙏🏻
give us back this superman, the look and smile at the end still give me shivers. This is why Christopher Reeves will always be my fav
Yup---his successors, as good as they are, do not capture the contrast in his Superman and Clark Kent personas, nor the twinkle in his eye. I doubt any actor will ever top his performance.
@@TheWillHadcroft exactly. You rarely find that kind of depth and charisma.
Gives you shivers?
Ha ha ha really? 😂
@@samcoon6699 aye, just like your mum does
@@TheWillHadcroft Chris had that twinkle in his eyes in real ife as well. One of the nicest guys in Hollywood at that time, I've heard. And he didn't let his accident take that twinkle from his eyes either.
This is what defines Superman.
Not only will he teach the idiot some manners.
But he’ll also give you the money for the repairs as well.
Absolutely satisfying...
@@charlesarturo7718 Yes very much fair and honest.
RIP Christopher Reeve, your still loved here in 2021.
I agree!!
ah ah ah .. let's not forget that after he gave him the money THE WIFE TOOK IT
He caused less damage then when the dude beat him up
Always the best Superman, Christopher Reeve.
I think everyone in that place were glad to see that bully get what was coming to him.
RIP Chris. You were one of a kind.
“ im terribly sorry for the damage sir” hands him $12...
Hey, adjusted for inflation it's ~$38 lolz
🤣🤣🤣
And even then, it gets abruptly taken by her.
that's about what the shit costed back then
Haha right!! Even if he payed for it. The time and effort to replace it would be a pain. How are the workers so happy. He couldve easily taught him a lesson without damage.
The theme song and how he gets ready to fly still always gives me chills...i still like the old school style..
It's from back when the world wasn't quite so jaded.
Yea gives some feels I think
I feel you. I get goosebumps when i see and hear that.
He took the time to teach the bully a lesson, but never really injured him. Definitely held back.
Christopher will long hold the title for best Clark Kent/Superman ever!
Amen
The most satisfied end to a movie I’ve ever seen in my life.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Hell yeah! Was my favorite scene in the movie.
Watch Requiem for a Dream.
@@jim191185 WTF OMG, that's wrong AF 🤣🤣
Don Raggo
LOL I was depressed for a week after that ending.
‘I never seen garbage eat garbage before’. My brother and I will still quote that line any chance we can get up to this day. Love these movies, great childhood classic for me!
A phrase that was not heard in any Superman series or movie.
@@cristianruiz1095 Except for this one.
@@LordZontar I meant that this phrase is not repeated in any series or movie that I know of.
Yeah a buddy of mine says it somewhat often, lol.
Superman doesn't need to shoot frickin' laser beams from his eyes to burn someone. 😛
This movie is awesome , the end was perfect
This will ALWAYS be the theme music for Superman. It is every bit as iconic as the Star Wars theme and it's a shame they don't use it any more. It's not "dark" I suppose.
What a truly sad and tragic end for Chris. He will always be Superman.
And today had he lived and walked again he would be 69
What tragic end, he did his best.........isn't it!!!!!!!
Hes still Superman.
Im alive and well!
He is in the sun waiting to return again….He is superman.
As a kid seeing him smile at the end made me realize everything was okay because he was out there watching. Big hero moment!
My sister used to always say he was smiling at her. Still does actually. LOL
sooooo, I wasn't the only one....lol
yeah that was very cool
David Butler oh shit! me too bro
I thought I was the only one! It was my favorite part of the movie! That smile was so cool!
The best Superman film, ever. Thanks to my mother, I would’ve never known about Superman or any other Superhero for that matter. Rest in Peace Christopher Reeve. ❤️
Most EPIC payback of all time.
Christoper Reeve the best Superman there was and ever will be!! RIP Christopher!!!
Meh....yessssss...I'd have to agree...this is the Clark Kent I grew up with...RIP.....
I couldn’t of said it better
He’s a legend 🇬🇧
Yep
tom welling for me .
I remember watching this scene as a kid. The music brings back so many memories.
Yeah the music it's like Star Wars, you cannot forget it anywhere
John Williams...the master
Same here.
same im 15 and i remember watching this at 5 years old
Yeah man
One of the best movie ever , everybody wanted to be Superman or see Superman as a kid
This scene was the best scenes of the movie! Christopher Reeves was the best superman of the movies just a terrible shame that he passed away so soon! RIP;!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inspiration for every kid needing to stand up to a bully at school .
Otis Pulos until I saw your comment I was literally gonna write that every bullied kid/adult wishes they could do this to their abuser
Thats right, all they gotta do is face their bullies after they get their kryptonian superpowers back and they'll be good to go. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Except Dont lol
Yeah, once you hit that stage in puberty when you become bullet-proof, can fly, can shoot lasers out of your eyes, outrun a bullet, lift a building over your head with ease among other things that should give you just enough confidence to stand up to your Bully.
Haha this guy is trolling
Poor Christopher. He didn't deserve to end his days paralyzed.
Yet he lived a lot defying the medical science...
Stem cells 😭
@highlyanticipated death, stop being an asshole. Even after the accident, he was very active and he worked hard to raise awareness about quadriplegic people.
He had no end of days. He lives forever.
Even with his accident, he was, and always will be.... Superman.
His smile alone will soften the heart of anyone ❤❤❤❤❤
May his soul rest in peace. Great actor.
Watching Superman get his revenge on this Jerk is so SATISFYING. One of the best scenes from Superman. 🤩🤩🤩
Dave Mustaine Especially in front of everybody that was there the first time. What came around went around and that’s where the buck stops
Yes watching him beat up a bully with his powers like a coward is very satisfying
I love this scene too since as I was a kid. I always wonder where is this burger joint? It look like the restaurant in the middle nowhere and it also shape like a bus.
@@multiplemike5021 How is it any worse than a bully picking on someone smaller & weaker than themselves..?
Dude simply got a taste of his own bitter medicine.
@@condorX2 You're basically correct, it's an old fashioned diner, kind of like a pre-made restaurant. They made them years ago, with kitchen and seating pretty much all in place, sort of a mobile home or trailer. Easy to transport wherever you wanted, just hook up to services like power, water and sewer connections. There's one they use on the show NCIS these days. Look up historic diners online for more info.
He even smiles when he's in space 🤗
Reeve's Superman actually likes being Superman. Who wouldn't with that theme music?
Mike Johnson Great comment😂
He's smiling because he knows the answer to my question: How does his cape flap around behind him in the vacuum of space?
@@dantresohlavy7323 Don't pick apart the physics of superhero movies, TV shows, cartoons, etc. You're killing the fun for yourself.
@@dantresohlavy7323 Why wouldn't it flap around? Assuming he's up high enough to have only minimal atmosphere (near vacuum) then there's nothing to stop it from moving around as he does. Assuming he's not in orbit, he must be propelling himself forward, even slightly, and that would tend to induce some movement of the cape at least. Then again, there could be solar wind and electric charge effect coming into play as well, depending upon what the cape is made of, or a side effect of the force that allows him to fly in the first place.
Of course, this is a movie. If you're going to analyze it that much, why not ask the question "Who is he looking at, and why is he smiling at them?" He's powerful enough to break through the fourth wall! 😉
This was more meaningful then sticking a semi truck on a powerpole via CGI
I love how the bully tried to sucker- punch him not realizing punching Superman .
That wasn't a sucker punch. They were squared off. Clark was walking towards him in a menacing manner after telling him he's in his seat. If they were both human it would have been a fair man to man brawl.
Superman was born to be played by Christopher Reeve.

@@paulshepherd1348 this was really cheesy
@@gantze89 Tbh it was meant to be cheesy as during that period it fits in so well. Superman returns was almost like this pattern but it didnt work out so well because the trends of time had changed.
Im a die hard mcu fan but i gotta admit christopher reeves was and will always be the best superman. And this movie is a classic especially the theme 😅😅
Every single thing about these original superman movies is legendary. ❤
The best scene from the greatest superhero film ever. Period.
I saw this in the cinema and when he went back to that diner after he got his powers back everyone cheered and laughed.
Bit gay
🚨 ⚠️ SPOILER ALERT⚠️ 🚨
@fourierthejunglist
Thats a helluva lot of BS you just typed out. When Clark gave up his powers to be with Lois, he didn't become a 90 pound weakling. He still had the same musculature that he had as Superman...just not super-charged by yellow Solar radiation. Simply put, he had as much muscle as Christopher Reeves put on to play the role (and he was in great shape, with some solid muscle.)
So Clark didn't get beat down because he was out-muscled. He was at least around the same strength level as the trucker. Clark was beaten because he had no fighting skill. He was beaten because he had no experience about what NOT to do in a fight. He was beaten because he had never really experienced the pain and shock of being violently assaulted. The crutch of his powers had let him bypass all of that life experience.
"Fair" was simple. It was the human-strong trucker with his aggression and fight experience against human-strong Clark (who was no weakling) with his lesser aggression and lack of fight experience. He hadn't learned what most men learn growing up: You don't pick fights with someone when you can't back up your words.
As far as powered Clark returning to the diner to "settle things"...get even using his Vastly unfair advantage,I thought it was cowardly and ignoble on his part. I guess that's what Zach Snyder homagrd in a similar scene from Man of Steel.
What did it prove for Clark to use his powers to beat and humiliate the bullying trucker? What satisfaction could he have gained from that? The only satisfaction that can be gained from a fight is if there's a chance you could lose but you persevere.
It would have been a much better scene if Superman had depowered himself (after he and Lois killed the Phantom Zone criminals because...he killed them) due to reasons. He had the police pick up Luthor, had Lois wait at the fortress and went back to the diner as Clark. Then he would call out the trucker, NOT make the mistake of turning his back on him and we'd see the beginning of a fight. The next scene would show Clark returning to the Fortress bruised and bloodied, his glasses broken...but with a satisfied smile on his face that screamed, "You should see the other guy." I would've applauded that because Clark would have gone back to have an actual fair fight against the trucker at his human-equivalent strength and at the risk of his safety...and WON. Then he could limp past Lois to get his powers back again. And she'd say something like, "Men..."
The way they did that scene in the movie had no risk. It was like something a bully would do.
And yes, I see the irony that I wrote a lot of my own BS too.
@foodeater42 It's hard to realize just how stupid you really are when you think about it....right?
Martin Rowe the guy was a bozo
The smile to the camera at the end... classic. Reeve will always be no 1.
Love how she takes the money. 30 yrs later nothing changes
Yes, we get to see Christopher's blue eyes! Be still my heart!!
@@nancydemoss7904 gimme another plate of this garbage. Told my mom that once. I still can't see color.

Danny max yeah a true Al Bundy/Peggy Bundy moment 😂😂😂
She wore a satisfied grin of relief and double relief.
@@adambrick6224 I used to love Married with Children. I live in England and i remember when i was younger waiting up every Friday night/Saturday morning for it as it used to come on TV around 2am each week. Good times.

RIP Chris Reeves, old school Superman the best one.
Agreed. Best Superman ever, and best superhero series of movies. Mario Puzzo (author of The Godfather) wrote the original screenplay, and had the finest actors.
It's Christopher Reeve. George Reeves played Superman in the 1950s TV series.
He was good you don't know his name - George Reeves!!
Scott Brown l loved George Reeves' Superman. He acted cooler than Chris Reeve's version.
@PeaceCommando - Actually, it's Mario PUZO, NOT Puzzo. But good comment, by the way.
In this lifetime we are always looking for heroes because if we cannot stand up against a bully we deserve to have a hero!!!
I really did believe that i could i fly like Superman when i was a little boy. I’m surprised I’m still here in one piece to tell the tale 😂
Clark: Oh, I've been working out.
Diner cook: *thinks to himself* yeah, sure. Whatever you say, superman.
LOL yeah man. There's no way these people can be that stupid.
@@Scientists_dont_lie It's the 1990s
@@vaporouselm9932 It is the late 70s
@@vaporouselm9932 no no it was the '80s. But still there's a man named Superman flying around with super strength and then there's this guy come on.
“Wow, that guy must be as strong as Superman.”
"This orders to go. I'm terrible sorry about the damages sir, oh I've been working out"
Superman is kind and a badass at the same time I love it.
Clearly doesn't need to be all gritty, and angsty to be enjoyable to watch.
“Oh, I’ve been, uh, working out.” Anyone else notice how he looks directly to camera, raising his eyebrows… 😁 Perfect delivery! The legend that is our Superman, Christopher Reeve!!!
Rip Christopher Reeves, you will always be superman.
that smile at 2:00 miss u Christopher reeve 😢

I like how that one dude with the noodles just calmly moves his food out of the way, like this happens every time he eats there.
Hell yeah.. who knows how much that cost.. just move out the way
I mean, it wasn't hard to see what was coming next if the dude was put on the counter like a small child. It was a pretty good guess that he was about to be sent flying across it.
Maybe it does.
He moved it because he realized how much they cost
He's been around long enough to know it's about to go down.
Rest in heavenly peace christopher reeve
1952- 2004
The greatest actor to portray superman 🦸♂️ ❤ 👏 🙌
2:00. His smile at the camera...unforgetable...I miss my childhood...
Christopher Reeve is, was and will always be Superman. He is the only actor I can think of who successfully played Clark Kent and Superman making them seem like 2 entirely different characters. He was fantastic. RIP Mr Reeve
Couldn't agree more
i was about to comment the same thing, he is the BEST Clark Kent and Superman, period.
Have you people forgotten about George Reeves?
@@robertyoung3992 im sure theres a George Reeves tribute video out there somewhere, go find it and comment there, this is about Christopher Reeve, and how much we appreciate him.
@@IPfreely333 He was the original Superman
"I've never seen garbage eat garbage before." I've been waiting 38 years to use that line. Someday, maybe I'll get the chance.
If you lived in Rochester New York you'd be able to use that line every day. Because most of the restaurants around this area have what's called garbage plates. Two hamburgers or hot dogs, home fries and mac salad with meat sauce on the burgers or hotdogs. Do a Google search on Nick Tahoes garbage plate Rochester New York.
@@lorenzomaximo1818 All you'd need is garbage to eat it. Wonder if Cuomo is available?
@@robertthomas5906
He should be available. The Rotten bastard
are you willing to recieve a beating? unless you are superman.
@MasterOnion North Yup. Same here.
I'll probably never have an opportunity to use the phrase because I live in the wrong area. I learned here on UA-cam and then researched it myself, that in the area centered on Rochester, NY, diners often offer something called a "garbage plate". This is a large amount of food for a low price. It's popular with college students. The plate typically includes fried potatoes, macaroni salad, beans, topped with hot dogs, and slathered with meat sauce or ketchup. It originated in Rochester about 110 years ago. It's not fine dining, it's fuel.
So now, Superman's comment makes more sense to me. I always thought he was insulting the diner, but he's not. "Gimme another plate of this garbage" doesn't mean what it sounds like it means. You learn something every day. Lol.
Maybe someday I'll be in Rochester and can use the phrase.
Best scene ever in a film just brilliant
With todays CGI, technology, and all the frills we expect so much. Back then, in the theaters, this was awesome!
"That's funny. I've never seen GARBAGE eat garbage before."
Great insult from Clark.
Eyes11 called him out!
Christopher Reeve is the best Superman. Rest in peace
He's completely best Actor for others movies to.
Joshua - I agree
Eterno Superman.
Yes
Joshua true
I feel so bad for Reeves, if it wasn't for his terrible accident he would have made more superman movies and would still be here with us today! RIP real Superman
I too feel bad for Reeve and what happened to him. However, it didn't halt the Superman movie franchise, which was well and truly over by the time of his accident in 1995. At that point, he hadn't made a Superman movie for nearly 10 years, and hadn't made a good one for 15 years (Superman II)!
His prime was over by then
The Superman movies went downhill after the second one
He was a great actor and the best Superman. R.I.P. Sir
Maybe I'm biased, but I grew up with Christopher Reeve as Superman. He'll always be the best Superman to me.
best comment ever. i agree. it's more on opinion because we wanted to be like superman when we were kids. the young ones who grew up with henry cavill are that generation's favorite
I am also here...
@@carbuncle1977 I didn’t grow up with cavil but love him as supes non the less… almost almost as much as reeves. However I’m handicapped waste down. So for that alone I have a certain special allegiance to reeves.
Christopher Reeve looked like he jumped right out of the comics, Gary Frank even draws him like Christopher Reeve
