Terrance Stamp is the perfect example of how you do not have to be tall/big to have a very commanding and strong personality. He just oozes power and charisma. Flawless performances all around here.

Kneel before Zod, if you know what's good for you. Kiss the 💍

You can tell how advanced Krypton was because they were making Zoom calls in 1978
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆💪🏻
You know even though you're joking, you're right.......LOL
Actually, Kryptonians were making Zoom calls around 1948, given that Superman was supposed to be around 30 years old in 1978.
@@damc8415 actually farther back than that, Krypton exploded thousands of years before Kal-el's arrival. The reason why he didn't age that much is because his ship was traveling the speed of light.
@@hdjksa52 That would make sense, but Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor actually says in the movie that Krypton exploded in the 1940s.
I love how Jor-El votes by just walking away without saying anything.
And the way he silently summons the Phantom zone with his crystal, thus casting his vote.
@@Lightray110 It's the Kryptonian version of dropping the mic.
The first lines of the story spoken by Brando. “This is no fantasy. No careless product of wild imagination” absolute genius in preparing you to believe a man can fly. A wonderful film in all its different cuts and iterations.
Fact
To me, it's the crimes he's speaking of. Though this is a made up court room, on an imaginary planet, the crimes are real and need to be taken seriously for both them and us in reality. Sadly, these people do exist in the real world.
@@silverpslm Yes. But there’s a superb double meaning. He is speaking to the characters in the scene as you say but also on another level he speaks to us directly as an audience. It’s genius. Superb writing. We don’t realise we are being primed to just accept that a man can fly. I was there in 1978 when it first came out. We’d just had Star Wars and then this. I can’t begin to describe the magic we felt. It was the first proper, serious superhero movie.
Very well said. I was there too and felt the exact same way.@@stevenmcnicoll5060
@@stevenmcnicoll5060not to speak for someone else, but I took it to mean there is a triple meaning. The explicit meaning relates to the trial, the symbolic meaning is the destructive cults of personality of the time period, and the subconscious meaning relates to the film as a whole.
Terrance Stamp and the late Marlon Brando are nothing short of excellent in this scene. A great way to begin what is hands down the greatest superhero movie of all time.
STAMP SHOULD'VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR
The intensity with which Stamp delivers the line "...your HEIRS!!!" always kind of scared the crap out of me.
When I saw this as a kid, I always thought for some reason he said, "Your Ass!
Wasn't until we watched it again on Videodisc I discovered I misheard, just like I thought the Cyclops on Krull wished for Fig Newtons (and I was not the only one who thought that either).
@@nowthatsjustducky
Same here.😂😂😂
He’s almost frothing mouthed with intensity. And the close shots of his gritted teeth and bulging eye. A true madman.
Another example of how absolutely amazing marlon Brando was as an actor
Terrance Stamp _IS_ General Zod. No one did that role better than he did.
Kneel before Zod!
Terrence Stamp Is Awesome As General Zod he pulled it off perfectly
This is one of the most powerful scenes ever created in science fiction. Powerful, chilling, and surreal. Brandon masterfully shows his legal authority while the criminals look like a death squad from the future. The council's images as they claim guilty feels so futuristic and cold but Terence Stamp really shined in Superman.
Yes,...Terence Stamp very Young...later he Will be the Suprime Chancellord of Atar Wars
Damn, Brando has such screen presence. I love just to watch him act.
0:13 me too.
He grabs your attention more fully and completely than any other actor, save for perhaps Richard Burton.
Jor-El: Are you an insurrectionist?
General Zod: I'm a soldier.
Jor-El: You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.
😆
Never get off the boat......unless you're going all the way.
'You fancy coming back for Superman 2 with Richard Lester Marlon?' "The horror...."
Donald Trump - Guilty
😆😆😆
I always thought that ZOD said “ass” but I guess it was “heirs.”
So glad I'm not the only one that thought that. For ages as a kid I though he was either saying "ass" or "S".
I guess I wasn’t as crazy as I thought too
Holy shut guys. I’ve been waiting so long for others to agree with me because up until I was about 20, I thought he said ass too. Glad to see I’m not the only one.
@@bfettrules1239 I was 9 when the movie came out, and I was like, “Ooooh! Did you hear what the bad guy said?!” 🤣
Honestly, I thought the same for the longest time
Just this scene alone is worth watching this film.
Brando's lines are nothing but a string of cliches but he somehow makes them seem fresh, original, exciting, compelling.
His screen presence was irresistible.
Hardly cliche. The writing by Tom Mankiewicz is immaculate.
The Krypton theme, this scene, and the escape from the planet are just amazing. I wish the whole movie had kept to this intensity and mood.
It was three movies--the intense first third, cartoon second, and the maudlin love story third.
RIP and long live Marlon Brando (April 3, 1924 - July 1, 2004), aged 80
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Can we just speak for a moment about how, though the scene is well-acted and superbly written of course, the background music _really_ sells the atmosphere of the last trial of Krypton? It's a low-level ambience at its quietest, and full blaring opera at its heights.
Jor-El to General Zod:
"I WILL MAKE YOU AN OFFER YOU CAN'T REFUSE."
XD
Thankfully, when Superman 2 came around, we never needed to hear him say "look how they massacred my boy".
“I offer you the chance for greatness, Joe-El!”
“Take it!”
I still get chills at Terence’s delivery…
I agree. This take on Zod's trial is better than the one in the most recent Superman movie. The most recent one, Zod didn't seem as controlled and calculating. He threw a tantrum, he was spitting, he didn't look like a person that was in control and had a plan.
Marlon Brando is my favorite actor. There’s just something about the way he talks and performs that’s just so goddamn captivating. Every time he’s on screen, I can’t help but smile.
He lands on the screen like a god damned anvil. First time I watched a movie with him I was 18 and it was the Last Tango in Paris, the absolute least interesting movie for an 18 year old to watch. I sat through the whole thing
AMEN!!!
@@mskidi Brando used a technique where the actor wouldn't know the lines in advance, he filmed each scene reading them from off-camera prompters or cue cards. He knew the plot and his character, just not the lines. He felt memorization would corrupt the authenticity of the delivery. Either that or he was just too damn lazy to read a script.
@@douglaslally156 probably both
@@douglaslally156 It’s something he did later in his career so probably just didn’t feel like memorizing shit anymore
I always liked how Brando pronounced Cripten
Even now I remember, as a boy of 8 seeing this movie in the theater, hearing his pronunciation and thinking along the lines of "Are we really still talking about the same planet here?" 😏 🤭
When he says it, it demands to be the correct pronunciation.
@@jude999
'Twas ever thus - we don't pronounce words a certain way because it's the correct way; rather, it's the "correct" way because the admirable among us pronounce them that way. 🤓
They could have gotten the case dismissed. Where was their attorney?
"Different planet, your honor"
@@joepalmer3241 🙄 😄
Such great dialogue, and a set and props that could never be bested by any computer.
"Ready to rehearse his opening scene he suggested to Donner that they roll the cameras during the rehearsal. 'Who knows,"' he said "we might get lucky.' He took his marks and began his opening monologue. He chose to play it straight and delivered the polonius-like adages much the way a Shakespearean actor might soliloquize. 'When he finished there was stunned respectful silence,' said Donner. The first take became the one that was in the picture.'"
Fact
I saw this in 1978 in the theaters as a kid. And for my entire life I though Zod screamed, "You will bow down before me! Both you, and then one day, your ass!"
How Brando can capture a moment with just the expression on his face.
Bold!
1:41
One of my favorite scenes!!
That slow walk away makes me believe Zod and Jor were once good friends. The way Zod speaks to him sounds like a terrible sickness.
The moment Jor makes his vote, it's like a heart was broken between both of them. And seeing him walk away in sadness, never to see him again.
The kryponian council were a source of nightmares for a while lol Guiltay
Terence Stamp owned this scene!
Heck, give his new order a shot. I mean the council disregarded Jor’el’s warnings of a total destruction of the planet Krypton. Maybe Zod’s order would have had the assertiveness needed to convince them to save the planet.
And Ursa would have kept the children in line. 🤣
He did! Even over the great Brando. His brooding arrogance reaches a crescendo in his threats against Jor-el
Interesting hypothesis. That means the greatest threat to the planet Krypton, wasn't General Zod but the Council itself
@@MasterJediDude She could keep me in line that's for damn sure!
@@alansmithee183she was amazingly hot back then, if you see photos from the 70’s and 80’s. And she was evil, but sexy in Conan the Destroyer. Her counterpart in Man of Steel (Antje Trau) is so beautiful as Faora Ul.
When the light turned on his wand, the tension. It was like the equivalent of a judge smacking down a hammer.
Trevor Howard with the final "guilty"...
They did “Mutiny on the Bounty” together. As opposed to their roles in that film, they both seem to be on the same side in this one.
@@totallyasimpsonjunki also the first "guilty" Harry Andrews, who starred with Brando in The Nightcomers.
@@totallyasimpsonjunki Good movie and Bridge over River kwai best old war movie.
by the way. anyone else find it funny that both Marlon Brando and Russel Crowe, have played Jor-El, but pre finding fame in the movie industry, Russel Crowe, as musical artist "Russ Le rock" released a single called "I just wanna be like Marlon Brando", so do you think that when he got the role of Jor-El, he was like "the prophecy's true!"?
Jor-El You have heard the evidence. The decision of the council will now be heard.
Krypton Council: Guilty.
*GENERAL ZOD:* _The vote must be unanimous, Jor-El. It has therefore now become YOUR decision. YOU alone will condemn us, if YOU wish, and YOU alone will be held responsible by me._
_Join us..._
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 you have been known to disagree with the counsel before? Yours could become an important voice of a new order second only to my own.
I offer you a chance for greatness Jor-El take it! Join us! You will bow down before me Jor-El I swear it! No matter if takes in attornity you will bow down before me!!! Both you and then one day your heirs!!!!!
The last "guilty" was the John Hancock of the trial. He waited for the others to announce their verdicts as a group so that his voice would be heard bearing his personal message, damning the traitors to eternal imprisonment.
I liked it when Jor-el's hair actually proved him right. Kal-el did technically bow before Zod just before he crushed his hand. Some times these things don't go exactly the way you invision them. 😆
Heir
I remember watching this as a child and fascinated by their demeanor ,mannerism and cleanliness.
This is why Mr Brando gets 12 cash back in the late 70s and yes I have been listening and thank you again for the acting lesson 🙏🙏👍.
Marlon does it so natural. He was reading the Q card..
You know what’s interesting? Considering that nowadays, modern superhero movies end with post-credits scenes that set up the next installment, when you watch Superman: The Movie, the FIRST thing the movie does is to set up the sequel, before it starts telling the origin story. Superman pretty much lay out the blueprints for the superhero movie formula, even the post-credits scenes, only in this case, the “post credit scene” is at the beginning!
Chris Reeve seemed to think Brando called it in with this performance. Was he so great that you can't take your eyes off of him even when he's calling it in?
Unbelievable how Michael Shannon (MoS) honoere Terrance Stamp... The voice tone is absolutely impeccable and a beautiful Homage
The music change when Ursur is charged.... eerie
Crunchatize me, Krypt'n!
So MANY layers of genius in this scene and NONE of them were obvious from the comic book. The iridescent fabric that made day for night of a fully lit film set, the back projected equivalent of a Zoom conference , the plate of glass that becomes a dimension of imprisonment, the mere IDEA to cast a Shakespearean Brando as Jor El. So MUCH creativity had to be unleashed against the constraint of a special effects industry that hadn't seen a solid breakthrough in FIVE decades.
With the entire Universe of digital effects at their disposal the producers of the 2014 reboot could only choose to fold their hand and rip off the visual design of 1969s Planet of the Apes for the Krypton aesthetic. Pathetic.
This is a singular statement AGAINST digital effects. I mean really.
This has become my favorite movie EVER over the past decade. Must be a reason.
Marlon was worth every penny.
I love how Jor-El is the only council member that believes in using sun screen.
The first 50 minutes is truly awesome.
After he grows up and moves to Metropolis, the story seems like a boring kid's cartoon.
I ❤ the parts with Marlon Brando. Kal-El traveled through SIX GALAXIES to get here. Even without super powers his story is amazing.
Always was fascinated by those revolving rings. Wonder how they worked.
I'm pretty sure they are fastened together where they meet. Then where the ring touches the floor, there's just a rotating disc that just moves the two rings around in a circle if you get what I'm trying to say.

This trial was so much better in this movie
Because this film got straight to the point instead of wasting 15-20 minutes setting up a MacGuffin like Man of Steel did.
I think he was referring to better than the Superman 2 trial
@@MrCjchamp Even so, I still stand by my point.
2:48 you will bow down, before me!
Captain Bligh and Fletcher Christian teaming up together to destroy General Zod
Zod knows as soon as Jor-el’s crystal glows…..he’s finished.
Most epic setup despite they only came back in the second movie.
Zod kept his word. I think in every superman encounter with zod, Superman has begged
On the woman Ursa..............Who's perversions and unreasoning hatred of all mankind have threatened even the children........ of the plannet Krypton
What perversions? 🤔
المرأة البشرية الشريرة التي قالت إنها ساحرة هي منحرفة كما في هذا الفيلم الذي طلب المساعدة في خمسة عشر عامًا وهو يتذكر. Նա հիմար է և ուժ չունի։
marlen brando had his lines on cards behind the camera so he could see his lines and say them with emotion he thought was needed
2:48 this is what i heard the first time i saw this movie....
" F**K YOU AND THEN ONE DAY, YOUR A## "
even my dad said that's what he heard
You left out the best part!
This was such a good movie. I wonder if this trial was held via Outlook Teams🤔
Terence Stamp said in an interview he was basically trembling in his boots while acting with Brando here. He doesn't seem to be a kind of guy who would be intimidated easily, but he, like most actors then, worshipped Brando.
When I first saw this as a kid, I always thought Stamp said "Your ass!!!" My reaction was, damn, he swore, things getting real now haha.
Interesting about the similarities of Jor El to God. He gave his son to mankind. Then there was the immigrant symbolism of Superman. He came from a place that he could never return to. A spirit of this country people don't believe in anymore.
Also,the similarities of evil are present in the 3 criminals….the diabolical trinity.jor-el effectively sending them to hell.
Not to mention that incredibly poignant and powerful goodbye blessing he gives to Kal-El. A metaphor for immigrants refugees and asylum seekers everywhere. Packs an emotional wallop.
"YOU!! AND ONE DAY. ..YOUR ASS!!!"
Amber Heard's last words to the jury just before closing arguments ended.
Okay, sure. Zod, Ursa and Non are chillingly evil, but the time it took the Kryptonian Counsel to reach their guilty verdict? Man, that was some cold shit. Lol.
For all his shouts and threats, Zod was just begging for mercy 😅😅
I can’t be the only one who heard “You will bow to me! First you and one day YOUR ASS!!!”
A lot of Americans did apparently
Recently I watched "Superman 2" again, and I was struck by the line at 1:05 and just how much Ursa has an almost Ghislaine Maxwell quality to her.
And then they got compressed into a .GIF triangle
2020 was predicted perfectly.
🤩zod
Why did Jor-El cast these bad guys away moments before the planet explodes? He spared their lives!
Probably because they wanted to start a new world order, and harm and kill innocent people
I dont think they belived in capital punishment,Also only Jor-el thought the planet t was doomed,
Terrence Stamp - Zod👍
2:26-2:34 😆
@@nathancruz9172 Mae un yn gwybod wedi mynd am byth rydym yn cadw got o saith deg un.
Just because Jor-el had disagreements with the Krypton Council before doesn't mean that he wants to help Zod, Non & Ursa subjugate all of Krypton, including the children. If those 3 evil renegades had any relatives at that time, they would be so ashamed of them for trying to overthrow the Council.

“….The Planet Kryppin”
Jor-El, bro, if you "mispronounce" you'll be calling him Jarrell 😂😂😂😂😂
❣️ Supermem
Zod- You will bow down before me Jor El.
Jor El- Never.
(Drops sword by accident)
Jol El- I'm not picking that up till their gone.
Zod, Non & Ursa's families would've been so disappointed of them for trying to subjugate all of Krypton including the children, if they had families when they tried to take over their planet.
I often pondered to what would happened if Jor El decided take General Zod's offer and DID join him...🤔
Krypton would have still gone boom and everyone dies(tm)
Brandon and Christopher Reeve died the same year. In other words Father and Son died together.
Watching this as a 6-7 year old, I had thought Zod had said “bow down before me……your *ass*”. Always said to myself how could that be in Superman(?)….Was maybe somewhat of a late learner and had never heard of “heirs”.
No deliberations?
...MR. CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!! 1:57
1:53 thought of this part after The Chauvin Verdict
1:55-1:58 guilty!
Chauvin pronounced guilty before the trial was held.
1:58 Zod's fate is sealed.
“first you, and then one day, your ASS!!!”
The Godfather vs General Zod
When you know this isn't entirely silly.
I remember watching this movie back in Florida when it was released? anyways M
Why didn’t he say Non’s name?
Reagan era after the craziness of the 60's and 70's.
0:00 Narrator: Our story begins when giant quakes threatened to destroy Krypton forever, but Jor-El, one of the planet’s leading scientists, didn’t know it yet.
Considering what happened to Krypton and how the council betrayed Jor El forcing him to send his son to Earth to save him from destruction it would seem that General Zod was correct.
Anyways me and my brother? went to the theater because dad wanted to see this film
Why did Jor-el say about Ursa “her hatred of all mankind”? How could she have know about mankind at that time?
My Father!
Zod wanted to RULE KRYPTON?!?!😦😧😧😨😨😨
The council members all look like they need some fiber
The thing that bothered me about Supermans father is that how can an old man have a baby and his wife? Man looks like he can be a grandpa by Earth standards. In the TAS cartoon he was given black hair and looked younger.
