Adam, you are correct. It was movie critic Rex Reed who walked in while Chris and Margot walked out. The crew member whose reflection we saw in the revolving door was that of director Dick Donner. He and writer Tom Mankiewicz laughed about that during the commentary of Superman: The Movie. The alley way where Clark and Lois are held up was at the Pinewood Studios in London. While they are walking down the streets of New York, you only see the robber's hand since it wasn't that of the actor who we see in the next angle in London. On a side note, Marc McClure (Jimmy Olsen) is one of the nicest celebrities I've ever met.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 My husband and I just watched the original Superman after watching this vlog. We are almost 60 and have never seen this movie. Thanks buddy.
THE definitive Superman and greatest of the films. Also a big fan of Smallville. Loved the modern day take on Clark's discovery of his powers during his journey through high school, college and beyond. Phenomenal cast too. Lots of filming near and around Vancouver including the farm used for many exterior shots. Would be cool to see some of those locations someday.
I was born in 76 so im 47 now i was real little in 1978 2 years old then could not see this in the theaters. It is one of the best Christopher Reeves movie out there, his others are Somewhere in time was in 1980. Thanks for sharing the location spots on video, it really shows where it was for real. You take care and stay safe 🙏😎🎥
@@TheDailyWoo yeah. I agree. I know a lot of people prefer the second one but that first movie is just wonderful. I love the pacing of it. Love the acting. Really enjoyed this video. I think the daily planet section of the video was long enough. Glad you caught all that good footage before they sent you packing. 😁
Woo when I was a Kid I would go inside a payphone and pretend I was changing into Superman. This movie is my earliest memories of Movies I was fascinated by the Cryptonight In the movie, such a great film. Thanks this is great bro
Makes me want to watch Superman again. I was lucky when I was a kid, my Mom loved going to the movies, and my Dad would get us free passes all the time, since he fixed the A/C for all the majors theatres back then. Super cool filming locations! Man, NY city looks like, quite the place.
How many are jumping to the scene in Superman RIGHT NOW to see the globe?? Pretty, darn...COOL Mr Woo! Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park 🌄🏞️🐻
I was 7 (2nd grade) when my parents took me to this movie in Jan of 79. I remember I couldn't wait to get inside the theater because it was so cold outside. This movie had a bigger impact on me than Star Wars, which my parents took me to at a drive-in theater in the summer of 78. I was exhilierated when I left the theater. I was so verwhelmed and had a frog in my throat. Incredible experience and had zero clue as to the fun I would have moving forward as we transitioned into the 80's.
I was just in NYC couple days ago to visit this beautiful city. I guess I missed these missing gems of the famous filming areas of the movie of Superman. Thank you Adam the Woo for sharing these spots that few visitors don’t know about or forgot. Definitely I will come back to visit NYC and remember these location where Superman (Christopher Reeves) was once in NYC. Awesome video. 🦸♂️👍
Nothing better than the original Superman Movie, and the late great Christopher Reeves, there is no substitute!! One of the best super hero movies!!! I was 11 yrs old, and saw it in the movie theater when movies were cheap to go see!!
Two weeks from today, I’ll be in NYC for a ten day vacation. Coincidentally, I booked a hotel less than two blocks from that particular China Town alleyway. I would have never known that nugget of Superman history existed there if it wasn’t for you. Thanks for sharing, Adam! Great video, as always
Superman 78 is my favorite movie of all time! First time I saw it was the ABC Sunday Night movie , a two part movie, Sunday and Monday. I fell in love and have been ever since! A tip, go to the Daily Planet at night , they don’t bother you , I was in the for a long time just taking it all in thinking how I can’t believe I’m actually here! It was amazing!❤
Really appreciate the time and dedication it takes to vlog daily. If its turning into a grind ...maybe give up weekends... you deserve days off. Many thanks. Suggested with utmost admiration ❤ NY series is classic ATW!
I totally agree, Superman the Movie is the best superhero movie of all time, because it was so well done and the fact that there was no CGI back then and it truly makes you believe a man could fly!!
Dude, I work in the Daily News building. I wish I knew you were coming I would’ve got you a guess pass. I’m surprised they let you film in the lobby, they’re kind of touchy about that. Thanks for all your videos. Enjoy your time in nyc 😊
Great video Adam! I had the privilege of working on Christopher Reeve's last project, The Brooke Ellison Story. I was the stand-in for John Slattery. Christopher Reeve was the director. He spent most of the time directing by using a loudspeaker from the production truck. I was a huge fan of his work as Superman when I was younger. He would call me by name when directing me for lighting and sound. I couldn't believe that Superman knew my name. He was awesome! Sadly, he passed away before the movie aired on television.
Another fantastic movie location vlog! I was 7 when I saw this in the theater. They definitely don’t make superhero movies like they used to. An absolute classic!
Oh Man The Music !!!! And Cast. I was Superman as a Kindergartner as my Halloween costume. I used to rent these all the time as my rotation around 4/5 years old. I would hum the soundtrack at school for hours. Superman back then was the Best !
Thew new 4K Superman Collection just came out so this is great timing. I'm going to try to binge them all this week. I haven't seen them since I was a kid.
wow i cannot believe this movie is already 45 yrs old . this movie was the first hero movie i saw in the early 80s Thank you Adam for sharing . rip Christopher Reeves
Love this movie! Seen it dozens.of times, one of those comfort movies that never loses its charm. Another awesome job with your before&after comparisons to put scenes into perspective. Mahalo, Adam,.for another great video!
Love it when you do these type of videos. Lost count of how many times i watched Superman as a kid - it was a lot! So cool to see what some of the filming locations look like today. Amazing that the Daily Planet globe and that number 9 are still there. Thanks so much Adam. Must have taken a ton of research. Brilliant.
Oh boy, I love how flirty Margot Kidder is allowed to be here (with women's lib as the 70's backdrop) and how unintentionally campy the film is. Now THAT is a superhero film I'd actually watch in theatres -- Marvel, take note. She openly lusts for Clark while also being suspicious of him. She's a great character. I really wish her story in life had been different and that she had been treated much better. I knew folks who lived in Montana where she lived out her final years, and she gave out a ton of kids' books at Standing Rock. She was a kind and generous woman who I wish had gotten the trauma treatment that we have today, and she could have led a very different life. RIP Margot and Christopher Reeve.
My friend worked at Toyota way back in 2004. They had corporate offices at 9 W 57th Street and I was able to go in the building. I don't remember what floor they were on. Saw incredible views of the city. Absolutely breathtaking. Love NYC Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your time there.
Adam, I loved Superman and really enjoyed your awesome filming locations video! Thank you for taking me to NYC along with you! Looking forward to your next vlog. NYC is sooo beautiful!
That was very cool. Seeing the real life movie locations, was very cool! I remember seeing that movie in the theaters when i was the kid. Mr Reeves was great as Superman. He is greatly missed. Thanks Adam.
interesting film location vlog, cool your dad will really enjoy watching, since he's a big fan of the movie, my hubby Storyteller Donny also loved Superman, enjoy your NYC trip 🙏🏼 praying safety
This is a terrific vlog, Adam. I visited NYC in 2011, but I didn’t think to visit these locations. I caught some of the more popular tourist spots, which did include Grand Central but none of these others. Maybe someday I can visit again. This movie holds a special place in my mind as a great film.
I was 16 when the movie came out. I remember it well and always great to see your movie locations. I live in New Jersey so I’ve been to NYC so many times especially in the 70s and 80s and 90s to see concerts at Madison Square Garden.
Saw this when it came out in 78' And it was instantly one of my favorite movies of all time, They did such a great job with everything, They didn't give in to parodying Superman and took it seriously and that's reflected in the film. One point: You said when the crowd was gathering watching the helicopter on the roof that the cops didn't push them back, believe me they did,saying " Alright everybody get back" several times. Watch it again.😂 Biggest laugh: When he 1st changes into his costume and the pimp says "say Jim that's a bad outfit" and he takes off flying up,got a huge laugh from everyone! Lots of good memories from seeing this movie in the theater. Nice job with the video too.
All of the leafblowers have been replaced by car horns and sirens lol. Superman 1978 was my favorite as well as far as the Superman franchise goes. I was 12 yrs old when that came out, so long ago. Excellent job Adam. My mother lived at the corner of E42nd St and 2nd Ave. 2009 was last time I was there. They had just started on the Freedom Tower, actually about 4 or 5 stories tall when I saw it.
While walking around, if you go to Central Park (west side) near the Dakota where Lennon was shot, grab a few hotdogs from Grays Papaya at 72nd and Broadway and then try a chocolate chip/walnut cookie from Levain Bakery at 74th and Broadway. Also would love to see you cover The Ghostbusters filming locations ☺️
The movie "the panic in needle park" starring AL Pacino was filmed over there by 72nd & Broadway. I went to school in the neighborhood back then & can tell you it was gritty compared to now
@@MamaCarola1 my grandmother and and my great Grand parents lived at The Ansonia Hotel back in the 40s. My great grandfather worked there. They lived there at the same time that Babe Ruth did, I have his autograph she got from him in the lobby when she was a kid.
As a comic book nerd it was so neat to see the filming location to Superman the movie. growing up Spider-man has always been my favorite character but i do enjoy the Christopher Reeves Superman films. thanks for documenting it
I’m sure someone has mentioned this, but the giant 9 is an address marker, installed in 1974, for 9 W 57th street. Loooved Superman as a kid. Haven’t watched it in a couple decades but this definitely makes me want to watch it again!
Great video, I loved that Superman movie when I was a kid. To me it was the best movie since Star Wars which came out a year before. I became a Superman fan because of it. I've been to NYC 3 times and some of the same places you visited but it never occurred to me to do all the Superman locations. Thanks, Woo-man!
Another Iconic movie scene filmed in Grand Central station was the end fight of Carlito's way with Al Pacino. Everytime I go to Grand Central station and see those escalators that is all I think about! Also a lot of great history in that train station. They do tours I think.
so I had to watch Superman the movie again after watching your vlog 🙂 I don't think I've watched since I was a kid. My favorite was Superman II -- favorite line "kneel before Zod". I just remember my family and I thought that was so funny how arrogant the character was...loved Terrence Stamp ever since
You were right in my work neighborhood!! I wished I couldn’t bumped into you. I hope you have fun in nyc. I loved this movie. Gives me goosebumps when I hear the opening theme! The “9” is pretty iconic. It would cause an uproar if it were removed.
I've been waiting for this for a while. More filming locations (classics), NYC pizza/food, and different modes of transportation. Please and thank you!
Buildings in NYC are not very friendly to people filming in them. I was asked to leave the Chrysler building lobby a couple of weeks ago even though I just stood at the entrance and tried to take a photo with my phone. Great video though. Superman (1978) is a classic.
My favorite version of this movie is the complete 3 hour tv cut. Absolute masterpiece! Fun fact about that version: At exactly 1 hour and 0 seconds, it’s the final frame of Superman flying towards the screen out of the fortress of solitude (first appearance of Christopher Reeve). At the very next frame (exactly 1 hour and 1 second) it cuts to a shot of metropolis. So act 1 (the origin) ends at exactly 1 hour, and act 2 begins 1 second later. Coincidence or intentional?
I don’t usually comment on your videos but this one really hit me how much I liked this movie an brought back memories of taking my family to see this movie good times 😃👍 Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍👍
This was excellent, thanks! I think that the scene where the crook tries to take Louis Lane's purse was filmed there in that small alley and not on a sound stage. It looked close enough to me. The crook took them around the corner. Then when Louis Lane is confused how Clark knows the contents of her purse was filmed in the section that you filmed from behind the gate.
I was 11 when I saw Superman and I loved it so much, I remember the next day at school I was writing down lines from the movie that I could remember in a notebook, I guess kinda in a way so I can remember the movie. When VCRs first came out a few years later it was one of the first movies I watched on our new betamax
My father knew Chris Reeve, was an aide and helped him after his paralysis. Chris and his wife were nice people. Great actor and the best Superman!
An icon for sure
I agree! He was the best Superman.
That’s really neat! He was one of a kind.
He’s not the best superman, he IS superman 😉.. best by miles
Did u live in edison he went to the rehab center at kessler. also ive been to robert wood johnson where he was.
Christopher Reeve will always be the best Superman. MY Superman! Thanks for the tour!
Same buddy . Same
Mines too 🦸♂️🤜🤜
Yes, definitely the best! He was the most charming Superman. I did like watching “Smallville,” though!
Nothing can really compare to the Original Superman always a classic.
The original film or part 1 with reeves. I liked 2 the best.
I cried when he died many years after his accident... He'd probably still be with us today 😢
No one else can come close to being the perfect Kal-El / Clark Kent
Adam, you are correct. It was movie critic Rex Reed who walked in while Chris and Margot walked out. The crew member whose reflection we saw in the revolving door was that of director Dick Donner. He and writer Tom Mankiewicz laughed about that during the commentary of Superman: The Movie.

You knocked my socks off with this vlog! 1978 Superman - the absolute best. ❤
Thank you. Excellent job of capturing all the minutia. There is and only will be one Superman for those of us growing up in that time.
Woo when I was a Kid I would go inside a payphone and pretend I was changing into Superman. This movie is my earliest memories of Movies I was fascinated by the Cryptonight In the movie, such a great film. Thanks this is great bro
I know what you mean . Never see a pay phone or revolving door without thinking of Superman

Are you Batman?
@@Yoda1976-s7x Was.
I was ten when I watched it. A young girl who was totally hypnotized by Reeve’s blue eyes and a 100 watt smile! I was never the same sense. 😄❤️❤️.
Written by Mario Puzzo. After he wrote the Godfather. Such great films and memories! Thank you for showing us Adam.
I was just in NYC couple days ago to visit this beautiful city. I guess I missed these missing gems of the famous filming areas of the movie of Superman.

FUN FACT: Sirens are NYC's leafblowers.... just sayin'
I think car horns are…
After 20 years, I had to move to the suburbs of CT to escape it lol!
Early morning NYC movie locations! Gotta love it
78' Superman is the best! It just played again near me, so good on the big screen. Being at the Daily Planet 🌎 was surreal.
It was man . Blew my mind
Those movies (even 3&4) were some of my favorites as a kid, and Superman remains my favorite super hero still.
Really appreciate the time and dedication it takes to vlog daily. If its turning into a grind ...maybe give up weekends... you deserve days off. Many thanks. Suggested with utmost admiration ❤ NY series is classic ATW!
I totally agree, Superman the Movie is the best superhero movie of all time, because it was so well done and the fact that there was no CGI back then and it truly makes you believe a man could fly!!
yes. CGI never looks right, is overproduced and just looks too artificial. Pre-CGI has a more gritty real look

I live in New York City and every time I see that building with the red numbered 9 I think about this superman film
It's like when I see the Verrazano bridge I'm always reminded of Sat Night fever
My mom works in the daily news building. Every time I visit her it’s so cool to see the globe
What a great video!! I love seeing where Superman was filmed!! Thanks for sharing!!
Loved this classic! Great video. Thank you for sharing!

Love the globe inside the actual building even if you only got a few minutes. Unreal!!!! The view from the hotel is insane
That celestial ceiling at Grand Central is fantastic (6:39)!
Was just thinking how cool it would be for a couple to recreate all these scenes from the movie today… A lot more spots than I expected!
Same . Was a bucket list to check then out
What about when the earth goes in reverse
Superman is my favorite
While walking around, if you go to Central Park (west side) near the Dakota where Lennon was shot, grab a few hotdogs from Grays Papaya at 72nd and Broadway and then try a chocolate chip/walnut cookie from Levain Bakery at 74th and Broadway. Also would love to see you cover The Ghostbusters filming locations ☺️
You need to edit your post bcuz everything you're talking about is on the west side of Central Park.
@@MamaCarola1 you're right, lol...done.
The movie "the panic in needle park" starring AL Pacino was filmed over there by 72nd & Broadway. I went to school in the neighborhood back then & can tell you it was gritty compared to now
Grays ... so good!
@@MamaCarola1 my grandmother and and my great Grand parents lived at The Ansonia Hotel back in the 40s. My great grandfather worked there. They lived there at the same time that Babe Ruth did, I have his autograph she got from him in the lobby when she was a kid.
I’m a longtime fan of yours Adam now going to school at NYU! So glad you’re here in the city!!!!
Christopher Reeve🎉is the Ultimate Superman! Thank you for sharing this ❤
Gene Hackman was great in the first Superman.
Yes, definitely…
As a comic book nerd it was so neat to see the filming location to Superman the movie. growing up Spider-man has always been my favorite character but i do enjoy the Christopher Reeves Superman films. thanks for documenting it
Hi Adam, thank you, this is so good! I know you put a lot of time into your research. Can’t wait to see what you have for us next. Love NYC😊
Thank you !
@@TheDailyWoo enjoy your time in the Big Apple😊
A great tour of some of the Superman locations. I will have to watch the movie again. Thank you Adam.
I’m sure someone has mentioned this, but the giant 9 is an address marker, installed in 1974, for 9 W 57th street.
Loooved Superman as a kid. Haven’t watched it in a couple decades but this definitely makes me want to watch it again!
Great video, I loved that Superman movie when I was a kid. To me it was the best movie since Star Wars which came out a year before. I became a Superman fan because of it. I've been to NYC 3 times and some of the same places you visited but it never occurred to me to do all the Superman locations. Thanks, Woo-man!
8:58 that escalator is used in Carlitos Way (1993)
Another Iconic movie scene filmed in Grand Central station was the end fight of Carlito's way with Al Pacino. Everytime I go to Grand Central station and see those escalators that is all I think about! Also a lot of great history in that train station. They do tours I think.
Absolutely! And the platforms…
Adam in NYC!!! Doesn't get any better
Great filming locations and still a great city to visit with all the art deco.
so I had to watch Superman the movie again after watching your vlog 🙂 I don't think I've watched since I was a kid. My favorite was Superman II -- favorite line "kneel before Zod". I just remember my family and I thought that was so funny how arrogant the character was...loved Terrence Stamp ever since
Interesting video Adam. I always enjoy these filming location videos. Seeing NYC is also a plus. Your videos are the best! Thank you👍
Great video. I remember seeing this a few times in the theater when I was 7
Of all the places that really needed to keep a phone booth on the outside, it’s this one.
You were right in my work neighborhood!! I wished I couldn’t bumped into you. I hope you have fun in nyc. I loved this movie. Gives me goosebumps when I hear the opening theme! The “9” is pretty iconic. It would cause an uproar if it were removed.
I've been waiting for this for a while. More filming locations (classics), NYC pizza/food, and different modes of transportation. Please and thank you!
Love the work put in on this Woo. Your material never fails🇺🇲
The “9” is an art piece - it belongs there!
Buildings in NYC are not very friendly to people filming in them. I was asked to leave the Chrysler building lobby a couple of weeks ago even though I just stood at the entrance and tried to take a photo with my phone. Great video though. Superman (1978) is a classic.
My favorite version of this movie is the complete 3 hour tv cut. Absolute masterpiece!
Fun fact about that version: At exactly 1 hour and 0 seconds, it’s the final frame of Superman flying towards the screen out of the fortress of solitude (first appearance of Christopher Reeve). At the very next frame (exactly 1 hour and 1 second) it cuts to a shot of metropolis. So act 1 (the origin) ends at exactly 1 hour, and act 2 begins 1 second later. Coincidence or intentional?
Awesome video! My favorite Superman ever!
Great video Adam, makes me wanna plan a trip to NYC ! What a view from your room, too.
That’s pretty much as good as it gets in terms of hotel room views. Wowza.
No more "Truth, Justice and the American Way" in existence
sex, drugs, rock n roll now
Yes sir. We are truly lost as a nation.
Yeah notice how they changed it in Superman Returns. Was an eyeroller.
Agreed 💯 😢
I don’t usually comment on your videos but this one really hit me how much I liked this movie an brought back memories of taking my family to see this movie
good times 😃👍

The crook took them around the corner. Then when Louis Lane is confused how Clark knows the contents of her purse was filmed in the section that you filmed from behind the gate.
Enjoying your NYC trip. I used to work in the 9 West 57st building many years ago.
Thank you Mr Woo and for all that you do
Its so cool to see that it said Police Station about the doors of the last building for the boat scene
I was 11 when I saw Superman and I loved it so much, I remember the next day at school I was writing down lines from the movie that I could remember in a notebook, I guess kinda in a way so I can remember the movie. When VCRs first came out a few years later it was one of the first movies I watched on our new betamax
Thanks Adam, love your movie locations series.
