The parenting fail was the most realistic part of the scene.
Ikr
Well not really. The kid did this in a earlier scene and parents pulled him down from the railing and spanked him and told him not to do that. So really it's the kids fault for not listening to his parents.
@@MiiPower She literally said, "Yeah honey, that's nice" while he was toying with death. Major fail.
@@personne7542 you need to watch the whole scene. This is not the full scene. In the full scene that kid is hanging off the railing and Clark rushes to stop him but his parents got to him first and pulled him down. That's why at the start of this clip Clark said Lois did you see what happened?
@@MiiPower Yeah, no. That's not how kids work. I hope you won't get any soon, or at least not with your current logic.
I like how that kid just falls and falls and Supes taking his sweet time flying down there, making sure that the theme is heard for long enough to make the moment epic
Supes? Kids today, I tell ya.
That was perfect to me.
I think what we saw was really everything happening at all once at the same time.
Slowest fall ever lol the people came running faster while Clark had time to change and slowly fly down to catch, and I still don’t mind rewatching this scene all over again
tbf the film was made a really long time ago
He has powers to do that..... know the difference. Your talking to him💪🏾⚡️🦸♂️💯
He has superspeed so time is relative to him.
I imagine if he flew at super speed to catch someone they would die. He has to limit his strength. It's like when Andrew Garfield's Spiderman got his powers and broke a tap and a doorknob the morning after. If Superman and Spiderman punched a normal human at full strength that human would die
The film was made in 1980. What's your point?
I don't care how implausible this scene seems. I can't not smile when I hear that music.
same here
John Williams! How can you not
For a superhero movie it’s not that implausible
Still gives me chills to this day... I'm old school I guess.
It's real. Alexander Salkind had just married Margot Kidder and he took her to the falls for their honeymoon and to scout an intro for Superman 2.
I was a young kid and I was messing around on the fence line and fell. Back then, the fence extended up three feet and a different fence extended out three feet over the water. I slipped and fell onto the grating of that horizontal fence. When you fall, you disappear from view.
AS, wanting to have kids with MK, runs over to pull me back over the fence and is a little surprised to see me. He then noticed the extra fencing. That is why the movie used the fencing on the US side that doesn't have the horizontal component. On the Canadian side, that area is a hotel for honeymooners, or was, and that is where they were standing when I slipped on while playing on the fencing/railing.
1.36 "of course he's jewish" LOL
pao pao a ese niño ha ha ☝️☝️☝️ eso no se hace
1:36
Wtf????😂😂😂
Jackson Liu I never noticed that until now... Lmao
I noticed that too,its funny 🤣🤣
Originally from Niagara Falls USA and was in the Navy at the time.
Was home on Leave before deployment, and had walked across the bridge into Canada and saw a crowd standing around and went over to check it out and was surprised to see that it was the filming.
Wow. That's all I can really say. :)
Thank you for service in the United States Navy.
ما شاء الله
That's amazing
Lies again? Nurofen + Aspirin
Thank you for your service, sir. I always try to thank members of our military when I see them. Its because of brave and selfless men and women like you that we enjoy the freedoms that we do.
Superman: "There you go!"
Kid: "Again, Again!"
Superman: "No I'm sorry only one ride to a customer!"
I love that line!
And if you try to commit suicide again, I'll kill you.
@@johnnysparkle something that homelander Will said to that kid
Director Richard Donner on this scene during the commentary:"I wanted to beat that kid!"
XD
He didn't direct this scene though, unless Lester retained the actors from whatever equivalent scene Donner would have filmed.
@@axebomber2108 Yeah but they still kept this scene in Donner's Cut, albeit with some rubbish changes.
Christopher Reeves will forever be the Real Superman in my books
Reeve*
Might be believable if you get his name correct.
We all love him
i agree
@@Hilux5972 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bad parenting
Also, that's one slow fall right there
@Kyle Campbell I agree. Especially when the kid said to his mom, “hey mom look” and she only says “uh huh, yeah honey that’s nice” instead of grabbing him and pulling him back over the railing. Unless she wasn’t looking at what he was doing since she and her husband were looking at a brochure and maybe he’s a kid who talks nonsense and she assumed he was going to talk nonsense and when she said “uh-huh, yeah honey that’s nice” was her way of saying “I don’t care for your nonsense talk” and/or “don’t bother your dad and I we’re busy.”
@Kyle Campbell Also yes I agree, it was a slow fall since he should have fallen into Niagara Falls before Clark turned into Superman since everyone was standing over the Niagara Falls.
@@afriendofbean she didn't know that lol. She wasn't paying attention
@@davidbaker3837 While I think he's a kid who talks nonsense as I mentioned in my past comment, she should have maybe known that he was doing something dangerous because earlier he was standing on the railing when he could have fallen over into the Niagara Falls where his mom pulled him off the railing just in time. So for that, maybe she should have looked when he said "hey mom, look."
Lol yeah that kid would have hit the bottom long before sup got to him. It’s a 57 meter drop. It took the jumpers at the World Trade Center about 7 seconds to hit the ground and that was from a height of 413 meters. The terminal velocity of a person falling when they reach that speed is 53 meters per second. I’m assuming you wouldn’t reach terminal velocity at that height though till you got to the bottom. So let’s be generous and give you 2 seconds lol
christopher reeve is superman to 70s 80s 90s kids no wonder hes the best
marc waters no movies were made in the 90s
Like Errol Flynn is "Robin Hood" and Sean Connery is "James Bond".
He’s my superman and I’m a kid I mean come on he is superman I’ve only been able to say that also for Tyler in Superman and Lois
I mean I'm a 2000s kid and Christopher Reeve is my childhood Superman cus I had the DVDs
Every time I go to Niagara Falls, I remember this scene 😂.
Half of the time this is why I go to Niagara Falls.
I tried to duplicate it once. It did not turn out well.
@@chiefscheider you can only do it once. Literally.
@@chiefscheider You should have said, "My brother tried to duplicate it once."
I survived with only a broken back. I plan to try it again before I turn 50
I like how the mom decides to scold her kid instead of being grateful he's alive 🙂😀😄😆🤣😂
I know, I know.
Yea and she beat him Asian style once they got home.
That's usual for when your kid almost kills themselves out of doing something foolish.
@@Inaworldoflove yes, what would a responsible Mum do after all?
@@Inaworldoflove She's to blame,too.She was an irresponsible parent.Why wasn't she watching him? She's the adult and the mother in the situation.The scene in this movie has not aged well at all. I love the movie and I love Superman but it makes the mother look inept(and I'm assuming that the man with her is the boy's father so it makes him look inept,too).
"Once you go Superman, you don't go back." -- Lois Lane, probably
“You’re a tough act to follow”-Lois Lane
The great green screen graphics of 1980
Lit Muesli that’s my favorite green screen 📺 graphics of all time.
Neither green screen or blue screen, it's projection, blue screen was used for flying in III and IV
Lit Muesli It’s not graphics. It’s composite footage.
@@KyleCashGames in lll they also used projection and in ll they also used blue screen not in this scene and also in l
sarcasm is funny :|
Good thing no one is asking for a selfie with Superman lol❤️❤️❤️
Christopher Reeve is the best Superman!
Well they can always use the 1980 Polaroid Camera that Lois has.
Lol the mom sure has her priorities on straight. "Embarrassing me in front of everyone!!!" 🤣
This was a great scene. Even more special since visiting Niagara Falls on vacation as an adult. This was shot near the Horseshoe Falls. The building used as the Honeymoon Haven Hotel actually houses a cafe and gift shops.
Superman: takes off glasses
Everyone: I've never met this man in my life
Somebody friggin' notice him!
@@jeremyriley1238 Well, Lois figured out that Clark was Superman realizing that Clark is never around when Superman is around especially I'm sure Clark tried keeping his identity especially later when Lois jumped into the water, Clark probably didn't want to show that he's Superman but instead he decided to jump into the water too after breaking off a branch from a tree so Lois could use it as a float. However, I guess he had no choice but to show off his identity when she found out that Clark's hand didn't get burned into fire. Luckily he erased her memory at the end of the movie.
Way to go, Superman!
How can she just yell out help like that's an ordinary lake to jump in and grab the little boy. Who the hell is jumping into Niagara Falls?😂🤣🤣
I was thinking that too. WTF did she expect people to do? Also in real life he would have hit the bottom in 3 seconds. My suspension of belief is working overtime for this scene.
Joe Swanson
Well, Superman does... And Lois herself, though not for this boy.
1:35 Never noticed this audio from the lady in the beige coat: "What a nice man!" Then, in voiceover: "Of course he's Jewish!"
Wouldn't it be kinda fitting?
I mean, his creators were Jewish.
I heard "cute", but it's hard to tell.
Classic!
Nick Cannon thinks otherwise.
@@ikonyk4370 and Canadian
Who's watching this in 2019 😂
Oh my God superman just save a
girl from the falls
me
Me.
🙋♂️
I just did last night but it is Donner's Cut of Superman 2 I watched
"Yeah honey, that's nice." Lady you weren't even paying attention to your son! He could have fallen to his death if Superman weren't there to rescue him!
There were so many things wrong with the scene now that I look back at as an adult but I still love it.
@@JR-ju3kj Have you seen the Richard Donner Cut of Superman II?
Yep, another examples of how the older Superman movies made mothers dumb (Lois included in Superman Returns, as she did not know the kid she had in this film has superpowers).
Yeah, so what you just saw is actually from a fiction art form called cinema and not footage from a real event with real people.
@@BrianMcInnis87 LOL.
You can tell how relieved that mother was that her son was alive...lol.
@Shane A Well she was still angry at him when she said "come here, you're going to get it when we get home, you gave me a heart attack."
@@afriendofbean Um dude, that was sarcasm.
@@plstne48 Okay. Also, how did you know whether I'm a man or a woman since you called me "dude?"
@@afriendofbean People use dude as a generic term for both men and women. It's not something to get offended over.
@@plstne48 No, "dude" is for man and "dudette" is for woman. As a matter of fact, I know a woman who looked like a man (she wasn't transgendered) and another man said to her "excuse me dude" and she had a woman's voice when she said "yes" and the person said "sorry, beg your pardon, in that case excuse me dudette."
Old lady: What a nice man!
Other lady: Of course, he's Jewish!
😂😂😂
That’s what I though I heard but I wasn’t sure
My Jewish mate as a kid always cheered that bit lol
Well, he WAS created by a Jewish writer and a Jewish illustrator...
it was a homage to the creators of Superman.
Talk about a groupie "It's me! It's Lois!"
Sorry, Lois, one ride per customer.
@@sandal_thong8631 She got straight ignored 🤣
@@sandal_thong8631 Cold! LOL!
That kid fell for days 😂, thought gravity was a thing 🤣🤣
lmao this part always cracks me up "Hey Mom! Look!!!" Then the parenting fail happens at 0:50
I know that these visuals are beatable by CZcamsrs nowadays, but I don't care!
These films were my childhood and the visuals are amazing for the early 80's...
You can always improve visuals. But whether you can have 'heart' in those visuals is another thing. These reeve movies had a lot of heart that many superhero movies today dont.
@@ninjaturtlemaster24 the feeling of 'heart' is caused by being impressed by how difficult it was to pull off. Movie makers thought that it is the visuals themselves and how immersive they are which impresses audiences; it is actually the difficulty of making visuals which impresses us, which is why we are never impressed by CGI but in fact hate it.
Not bad fx, for it's time it's excellent
The best Clark Kent and the best Lois. The chemistry between the two of them is so good.
1:20 - 1:51 Best Superman Theme
Thanks John Williams
I still get goosebumps just listening to it.
0:51 Google Maps, the 1980 version.
Charles Darwin must be so pissed.
1:02 a major voice crack
He’s not voice cracking he’s screaming
Dang! Lois is so smart she knows Clark and Superman are one.
I’ve always loved this scene
I’m not really a superman fan, but being a Canadian and seeing him fly over our country’s flag is incredible and pretty badass.
A Canadian invented Superman.
Clifton Hill in the background is not so awesome. It's an upholstered toilet and an unfortunate blight on the Niagara landscape. Tacky as they come.
Superman is for the world, not just America!
@@sheltv100 Joe Schuster and his family moved from Toronto to Cleveland, Ohio when he was 9. His cocreator was Jerry Siegel, a Cleveland native. Both nice Jewish boys.
Superman broke dozens of immigration laws.
Superman is the hero and this scene gives me a little chills when the child falls into NIAGARA Falls 😳🌊
Reeve died tragically
If Superman had to save every idiot from his/her stupidity, he would be saving thousands every day.
He's supposed to be an inspiration for people to help each other and care about the public good.
Damn kid had no sense of self preservation at all. He should have shat in his pants, and been both terrified and grateful that Superman for saving him, and he treats the whole thing like it was a carnival ride. Mom should have had tears in her eyes of fear and gratitude as well, but instead, she's probably just gonna tan his backside with a belt for embarrassing her. The writing (quite literally) just ignores the gravity of what just happened to keep the scene light, but it really doesn't come off as believable in any sense, not to me, anyway. I know, I know...it's a Superman movie, lol
Ignoring gravity... that's exactly what they did.
The kid deserved a good beating and the mother was also an irresponsible parent and she was a bad parent.Your kid's hanging off the guardrail at Niagara Falls and you can't be even bothered to look up and pay attention to him?
Also,is it just me or should the guard rails at Niagara Falls be higher? If someone wanted to commit suicide by jumping to their death,the guard rails won't do anything to stop them.
In the superman movies,its as though the characters know that they are going to be saved by superman
Sejak kecil sampai sekarang..saya suka film Superman....Sukses selalu ya Pak Superman...🙏🙏🙏🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩👍👍👍
Yeah. This scene scared the crap out of me back in the day. It still does. The CGI here holds up WAY too well. XD
This was way before CGI. It was all done with in-camera effects.
@@7775Kevin Okay. So the EFFECTS here hold up way too well.
@@7775KevinCGI did exist back then. It was just not widely used because computers weren’t powerful enough to generate complicated scenes. Tron used CGI, as well as the music video for Dire Straits “money for nothing”. They were blocky as heck though. I think minecraft has better resolution.
CGI wasn't invented yet. This was all practical effects.
reeves, cavil, routh, and hoechlin… the 4 supermen that i will never be discredited in my book
That little boy almost gave his mother a heart attack.
“Bye bye baby”
the VFX are impeccable
This scene is both heart-pounding and magical. The way the crowd looks at Superman on the lookout and the boat in amazement as he races after the boy like he's an angel or protector of souls. I would actually cry if I saw that unfold for real and heard that music at the same time.
O Mundo precisa urgente do Superman, quem sabe Deus coloque um heroi deste na Terra, viva o Superman, viva Deus...
He did. It's called jesus
I'll bet you the boy got a spanking from his mother. He's too mischievous, doesn't know how to keep himself out of trouble. Lucky for him Superman showed up.
Also, the mother needs to have a lecture on keeping a better eye on her kid, because Superman may not be there to save him the next time.
I love this scene so...so much
Is the falls like 6000ft high? It took 30 sec from the KID fell till superman saved him. 30 sec free fall
One of The Greatest Superhero Comics Book Characters Ever Filmed
Ngl I’m pretty sure gravity goes faster than that
Plot twist: the kid was superboy
you do know its not real... sigh
1:35 what a nice man! 🙂
Or in Spiderman's phrasing "Everybody get's one, tell em Peter"
inolvidable!
1:12, i find it funny how the guy in the blue coat points his finger up like he’s giving the demand “Charge!!” and instead of running everyones like jogging to the scene
I Love the superman movies!✊✊✊❤❤❤
Only one ride to a customer. Good job Superman.
This scene used to terrify me. That kid was VERY LUCKY Superman happened to come along at the right moment.
No creepy CGI upper lip. We love you Superman Reeves.
Yelling somebody help when he’s falling, what the hell is anyone supposed to do?
Greatest Superman movie ever!
“What a nice man!”
“Of course he’s Jewish!” Hahahahaha
1:35...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At this time the music is actually louder then when they talk
It has to be, to cover up for the stupid reason of Superman's appearance.
Damn
2013 superman:slow poke
Every kid in the 80s: So cool scene!!!
Anyone who watch in 2021: How lame scene!
If this happened in part 3 Superman would’ve dropped the parents in there.
Superman รักนาเดียร์ แต่งงาน❤นาเดียมีแฟนใหม่แล้ว
That kid almost gave his mom a heart attack.
Well,maybe she should have been paying more attention to her son in the first place.
Oh mom say oh that's nice. Classic movie
I love the line of the old woman in the sunglasses.'"What a nice man, he must be Jewish!":
"Eh, Natural Selection at work. I'm hungry."
Thank You Christopher Reeves 🙏
What a naughty boy! It's dangerous playing on the steel rim near the falls and nobody notices?
IKR? Not even his own mother cares until after he falls.
Yea fairly famous scene. I finally got to see Niagara for myself, pretty amazing place!
This makes me sad.
I remember crying when the tour guide shot Niagra falls to save the kid.
Best superman
Lois Lane, the only girl to actually use her noggin.
I liked the newspaper scene and where she jumps out the window and lands on an awning to prove Clark is Superman. Makes her a more savvy lady than Clark just tripping into the fire by accident/on purpose.
1:31 Take that, Darwin! Natural selection doesn't win today!
Ilove this movie superman Christopher reeve
i love the old woman's response; "What a nice man, he MUST be Jewish!"
The end of this scene is great, when he changes back into Clark Kent, picks up the hot dogs at the stand, and walks back to Lois like nothing happened.
Kid was falling for over a minute. 😂😂😂🤷♂️
If superman wasn't there and lois is shouting help and somebody do something what can the other people do to save the kid
That's the longest time I have ever seen *any* human being fall down Niagara Falls ... for real!!!!!!!!!
I think the water in the background hit the bottom first. Maybe he caught an updraft?
I remember visiting this spot when I was a kid.
That kid took an unusually long time to fall 130 feet.
Way to go superman
**WHEN SHE ASKES.... ""WHERE WERE YOU??? HAHAAHAH BUT THIS WAS CUT OFF....**
In reality, it would’ve only taken him about 10 seconds to hit the bottom of the falls.
MMAFighter38 I feel like even less lol
2 seconds

My childhood movie reminds me of the good old days
“What a nice man!” “Of course, he’s Jewish.” 🤣
This is the fakest scene of all time. Kid is playing on the railing and parents don't care.
And superman leaves his clothes in phone booths , wonder how many times it got stolen along with cash.
*Because
Well, yeah. His work clothes are basically as much of a disguise as those glasses that keeps fooling everyone.
I live about a mile away from this spot.
The fact that he had the power to make people think that he was different person without glasses is insane👀❤
Jimmy figured it out, but he just kissed him and made him forget; too bad they cut that scene.
Glasses wasn't the only thing he did. He stands different, more hunched over, wears baggy clothes to hide his physique, has his hair swept the other way without the curl, and in the comics the glasses have kryptonian glass in them that changes his eye colour, tho i don't think they did that last in any films
Nice parenting skills.
The longest drop ever lol 😂
Just read the script from 1977. Boy and his dog were supposed to in a rowboat about to go over the falls. Oh, Canada!
