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. 💙❤️
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.
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.
@@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.
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
“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!!!
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?
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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
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.
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 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.
‘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!
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
@@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.
@@Mythowars Is it a spinal cord injury? Chris's foundation might be able to help you with that if it is. The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation is one of the giants when it comes to SCI research these days.
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.
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
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.
Christopher Reeves was the Superman of my childhood and always will be. No one could ever take his place in this iconic role. RIP Mr. Reeves. You are truly missed.
All these 'photocopy' single dimentional actors just can't hold a candle to the gifted actor Christopher Reeve was.. Why do the hollywood moron producers keep making plastic copies of the Man of Steel?? No point to it, really.
For any real Superman fan, Reeve will always be the real Superman. They should've stopped making Superman movies after his death because they have all been stupid as shit. Christopher Reeve = Superman. Nobody else even comes close.
I can still remember watching this film at the cinema with my late father and sisters.....we had already been left dazzled by the film....was ready to get up and leave almost and then this scene came into view......the cinema went quiet, the anticipation was with everyone, it was an eruption when it played out and I can still see my dad laughing now. Great era,and a great hero in Chris with just the right amount of reality.
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 !
The actor who played the Bully, Pepper Martin, was a professional wrestler and starred in 70s and 80s tv shows. He’s in his 80s and still with us. Remember this scene as a kid. Loved this movie.
He(The Bully)looks similar to James Caan,from the movie "Misery". HaHa,Pepper Martin,that's the same name as the famous Cardinals Baseball player from the 1930's,John Pepper Martin.
To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? He that has ears to hear, let him hear. Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
B.A. K. 1965 : I always smile too, when I watch that scene. Makes me a little sad though remembering what Chris Reeve suffered after that horse riding event. This was the first movie that my then 3 year old son sat through without falling asleep. He would use a beach towel as his cape and run through the house yelling ‘Soupman, Soupman’ as he couldn’t say his ‘R’ sounds yet.
@@slcRN1971 hi,thank you for this wonderful story about her child that reminds me a little about my youth that I experienced something with a lot of superman alias Christopher reeve (rip in peace Chris and Margot) fanaticism, thank you for your nice story 🙏😘
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.
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
@highlyanticipated death, stop being an asshole. Even after the accident, he was very active and he worked hard to raise awareness about quadriplegic people.
Christopher Reeve's horse riding accident was such a tragedy, for such a physically fit man whose on screen physical presence was so immense to have sustained such a horrific, lifelong injury was truly appalling. I don't think that I've ever felt so bad for someone I didn't know before. He retained great dignity for the rest of his short life.
@@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.
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. ❤️
When my dad took me to these films, when this part came up, my dad would lean in and whisper "now get ready, he's gonna look at you and smile, so you wave back." As Superman would smile at the screen, I'd wave like an idiot. I loved it so much as a kid. I still think of those moments fondly whenever I watch these movies.
Christopher Reeves was definitely the best portrayal of Superman one of my favorite on screen characters. Sometimes the casting directors hit the nail right on the head 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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.
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
@@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.
Which brings up the question, "If he (Garbage #1) hates it (Garbage #2) so much, why keep coming back?" Maybe because it's the only place that gives him the freedom to step on people and walk all over them and say anything to them at will whether it hurts them or not. In other words, it allows him to be his true-to-life self: a bona fide bully. Either that or he's too lazy to drive to a much distant diner that serves better food. Either way, based on his character, he deserves exactly what he gets.
@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.
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.
@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.
When Chris and Margot did the scene " Can you read my mind ". I thought it was so beautiful. Years later, when both of them passed, I watch that scene and cried very hard. I loved both of these incredibly talented amazing actors. Both of them had such range, such depth. It was hard when Chris had his accident. Everyone believed he would walk again and he almost did. In my heart and soul, Chris is Superman for real. For what he had to endure in the years since that terrible day, he never let anyone around him know how he really felt. You just knew, that some where, in that broken body, a real man existed. Margot was gorgeous. Her raspy voice filled one's heart. She had so much too offer and it was sad, extremely sad, that she passed on. I'll always remember that scene. The two of them together hand in hand. It was so magical. They were so beautiful together. That chemistry. The smiles. The genuine happiness of being with someone professionally that you knew was a good decent human being. Chris & Margot We miss you both more than words can say. I know you both are really flying for real in the service of God. May you both Rest In The Lord forever.........🌺🌺 Can You Read My Mind ⛅
Margot was ugly, the fact you call her gorgeous is ridicolous...She was really bad and pero chemistry with Christopher..in fact she said he was for her like a brother..Who would say that having Chris Reeve kissing you?? She was crazy and she was not pretty , si glad when Lana appeared , at least someone Who was phisically more suitable for Christopher
@@diamantina5115 Margot Kidder wasn't a classic beauty, but she was attractive. She also had mental health issues to deal with which she eventually managed to get under control.
When Ms Kidder did that scene she went down deep into her soul and I think she use from personal experience . She cried like a person would who knows they can't have someone. Its a very touching scene. Amazing how much deeper some movies are when you see them as grown adults then when much much younger
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.
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 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.
I don’t care if it’s a bit cheese, or if Superman should be above this kind of thing….I love it!!! The whole scene was perfect. In fact, Christopher Reeve was just about perfect as Superman. RIP my friend.
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. ❤
@@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! 😉
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.
Yes effects aside, no one can pull of Clark and superman like Christopher. Absolutely born to play superman. Although I love this seen, let's not lose sight, this was a punk move. Just because we love it, doesnr make it right and where did he get that money? Obviously only Lois can afford a million dollar penthouse on park ave, that's probably worth 40mill today. Flies on a concorde to Paris, when Morpheus won't give Lois economy. She's lucky he approves a flight at all.

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.
When he flies by and smiles into the camera, it brings a tear to my eye. Christopher will always be my favorite Superman.
Agreed!!when that theme is starting up,and he's passing by and does that smile,man oh man..
#1 Superman and it’s not even close .
As a kid, I thought he was waving at me! Oh to have the innocence of childhood back, just for a minute.
I think that scene is more powerful given the tragic event he went thru in his real life; charismatic and moving actor, R.I.P.
I concur
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.
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.

@@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?
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.
One thing most of the movies shared is the same composer for the score. Look up John Williams.
@@drewverga4798 John Williams is amazing.
Also the Karate Kid, Back to the Future, Robocop, Ghostbusters, Transformers, Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more. All original ideas.
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
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!
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.
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

@@Mythowars Is it a spinal cord injury? Chris's foundation might be able to help you with that if it is. The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation is one of the giants when it comes to SCI research these days.
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.
well you know you could try making an ai to bring him back from the dead so he can act again not sure if it's possible but who knows it might be
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.

Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell?
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
1 John 3:8 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

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.

Which brings up the question, "If he (Garbage #1) hates it (Garbage #2) so much, why keep coming back?" Maybe because it's the only place that gives him the freedom to step on people and walk all over them and say anything to them at will whether it hurts them or not. In other words, it allows him to be his true-to-life self: a bona fide bully. Either that or he's too lazy to drive to a much distant diner that serves better food. Either way, based on his character, he deserves exactly what he gets.

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.

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.
Christopher Reeves will always b the real superman. Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. We will miss u😔
When Chris and Margot did the scene " Can you read my mind ". I thought it was so beautiful. Years later, when both of them passed, I watch that scene and cried very hard. I loved both of these incredibly talented amazing actors. Both of them had such range, such depth. It was hard when Chris had his accident. Everyone believed he would walk again and he almost did. In my heart and soul, Chris is Superman for real. For what he had to endure in the years since that terrible day, he never let anyone around him know how he really felt. You just knew, that some where, in that broken body, a real man existed.
Margot was gorgeous. Her raspy voice filled one's heart. She had so much too offer and it was sad, extremely sad, that she passed on.
I'll always remember that scene. The two of them together hand in hand. It was so magical. They were so beautiful together. That chemistry. The smiles. The genuine happiness of being with someone professionally that you knew was a good decent human being.
Chris & Margot
We miss you both more than words can say. I know you both are really flying for real in the service of God. May you both Rest In The Lord forever.........🌺🌺
Can You Read My Mind ⛅
Hey kat
Margot was ugly, the fact you call her gorgeous is ridicolous...She was really bad and pero chemistry with Christopher..in fact she said he was for her like a brother..Who would say that having Chris Reeve kissing you?? She was crazy and she was not pretty , si glad when Lana appeared , at least someone Who was phisically more suitable for Christopher
@@diamantina5115 Margot Kidder wasn't a classic beauty, but she was attractive. She also had mental health issues to deal with which she eventually managed to get under control.
When Ms Kidder did that scene she went down deep into her soul and I think she use from personal experience . She cried like a person would who knows they can't have someone. Its a very touching scene. Amazing how much deeper some movies are when you see them as grown adults then when much much younger
@@rjam1974 Agreed. She was an amazing actress and she is missed very much.
in my opinion the best superman movie...this one
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
“ 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.
We lost Christopher Reeves too soon. He was the best, a terrific actor and person.
I don’t care if it’s a bit cheese, or if Superman should be above this kind of thing….I love it!!! The whole scene was perfect. In fact, Christopher Reeve was just about perfect as Superman. RIP my friend.
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.
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! 😉
Christopher Reeve will always remain my Superman, inspired self belief, confidence and goodness.
Vijay Krishnan so you’re not a Trump voter
Every single thing about these original superman movies is legendary. ❤
Christopher Reeves always will be superman
It's Christopher Reeve. George Reeves played Superman in the 1950s TV series.
Eddie Thomas Yep best Superman ever.
perhaps, but after George Reeves........
Same as Sean Connery will always be James Bond, but the new ones aren't bad by default.
Eddie Thomas Yep!
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.
Sure, new movies have better effects and yada yada, but the charisma Reeve gave us, is unmatched. Still frikkin awesome movies!
also keep in mind they didnt use cgi so u saw reeves technically flying for real
Yes effects aside, no one can pull of Clark and superman like Christopher. Absolutely born to play superman. Although I love this seen, let's not lose sight, this was a punk move. Just because we love it, doesnr make it right and where did he get that money? Obviously only Lois can afford a million dollar penthouse on park ave, that's probably worth 40mill today. Flies on a concorde to Paris, when Morpheus won't give Lois economy. She's lucky he approves a flight at all.
Real actors with real acting. No hi-tech cartoon.
He actually comes off as kind of creepy.
Hammern28 facts the writing and and the chemistry these actors had was great they fed off each other the casting was so good too
