![Superman - LOIS discovers CLARK's secret identity [2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KRj2mQ7pAj8/mqdefault.jpg)
It just needs to be said that Christopher Reeve was a really, really good actor.
He was the perfect Superman.
Never really will be a better Super man
@Gary Mcguckin you mean Dean Cain right? or is that a Superman I never heard of?
@Gary Mcguckin I remember Dean Caine
Was an Amaaaazing actor
He went from Clark, having better posture, taking off glasses to Superman in a matter of 4 seconds. Freaking amazing. Only Christopher Reeve can pull that off.
HOW YOU CAN FIT SO MUCH PERFECTION IN ONE PERSON
I think that Christopher Reeve's ability to be both Clark Kent and Superman without turning into a cartoon caricature of either is amazing and underrated. The audience knows he's the same guy, of course, and Lois has her suspicions, but it never comes across forced or contrived when he switches from goofy, lovable Clark Kent to cool-as-hell Superman in a matter of seconds. I came to the realization recently that seeing Superman as a child when it first came out (totally giving away my age, but whatever LOL) started my fascination for tall, dark-haired, handsome slightly mysterious men. He really was born to play this role and Margot Kidder was born to play Lois Lane. I'm so sad that they're both gone from us now, but I pray that they are together, in peace and love.
It's a really subtle change
@@DarlingNikki2 now they share realm with Pavol Demitra, stefan Liv, Kobe bryant (today) Christopher Lee, Alan Rickman, to name a few.
The best Superman
Clark: *Gets burnt*
Clark: *Takes off glasses*
Lois: "OH SUPERMAN, THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE! CLARK GOT HURT!"
Nice meme by far my dude!
“WHERE IS THE COMMISSIONER!?”
But hey, where did Clark go?
Lol 😂
Hahahahahaahhaahahahahaha I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2:06 “where do you wanna fu- talk?!”
Meme: AH HELL NAAAAAWAAAHAAAAA
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
Lmao
Remember in smallville when clark did it with lana and it caused tremors
🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP to them both...reeve is forever the face of superman
And Margot will always be my favorite Lois.
Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve will always be Superman and Lois Lane in our hearts.
Amen to them both😊
@@cricketlover2526 Yes. She is.
Best. Superman. Ever.
When he tries to give Lois an explanation, and realizes it's pointless and punches the ground in frustration is easily one of the best Chris Reeve Superman moments.
Imma b-a-a-a-a-a. BLACK SHEEP TESTIMONY, DOES (HE) /G0D REQUIRE YOUR WANTON EXHIBITIONIST CUNTALINNI, AN OPEN MIND AND PROVE HEBREW, WHO IS alive, unt WHO Isn't the Devil/ Satan, which DECEIVETH THE MOTO/ WARM MOHAWK. LOL
"Oh come on, Lois, don't be sill - - - ehhhh, screw it." 😆
Yes....there was no way he could possibly spin being compltely unharmed by fire....
Es que el estaba enamorada de ella❤
I like how this movie had the intelligence to keep up with the fact that superman has super dexterity meaning he doesn't trip EVER. So some deep subconscious part of him had to want to trip
Indeed 😎
If you remember since the first movie he had been wanting to tell Lois his identity
Lies again? Quit Clark Kent To Become Superman
before he fell he was pacing back n forth it looked like he had something on his mind him tripping backed that up
He's so strong he wouldn't trip, his foot would just keep moving and send that rug flying lol! Then when he got frustrated and slammed his hand down on that table, it should have been crushed
The way his voice changes, his composure, and he kind of straightens up and fixes his posture is such great detail on Reeve's part
😂
He’s so pure. Chris embodies everything that Superman is.
Like
It goes without saying that Christopher Reeve was born to play the role of both Superman and Clark Kent as he is able to go from being a goofy guy to a confident gentleman in a blink of an eye, it's an incredible performance and it shows just how much of a versatile actor he really was
He literally played two totally different people, personality wise, in each Superman film
The moment his posture and back change from clark to superman! Amazing!
GO! Go! Zeppeli! His voice even changes
Reeve as Superman: maybe THE best casting choice in cinematic history.
One of the best.
There are others. 😏
Clint Eastwood would have just shot Lois after the first time she badgered him. Smoked a cigar while riding a flying horse. Hanged Lex Luthor while the theme from "The Good the Bad & the Ugly" played. Punched Perry White in the face for making him do 'paperwork'. Then told every one his name was CALLAN-EL. Traded Superman's iconic red boots in for some janky dusty cowboy boots, with spurs. I can't even go on...
Because he made his way into everyone's hearts
haha very dramatic
I don’t know... Robert Downey jr as iron man is pretty spectacular
Don’t get me wrong, I love this movie, I love Christopher Reeve as Superman, but your telling me, Superman, the Man of Steel, practically invulnerable, faster than a speeding bullet, powerful enough to reverse time, got exposed because he tripped on a rug???
Hes still adorably clumsy Clark Kent. Even he makes mistakes
Sometimes it's those little things that get us caught LOL.
*Genie voice:* I can't believe it, I'm losing to a rug!
It's what Lois said. Didn't you pay attention? He wanted to do that, he can't hold it anymore. That's why he tripped unconsciously.
@@DarlingNikki2 like not locking the door am i rite
Superman: takes off glasses
Everyone: I've never met this man in my life
Oh how i love comic book movie logic!! 🤣 😂
I wish no one would recognized me when I put on my glasses 😄
There's a clip on CZcams of Henry Cavill trying to get noticed in times square under a giant poster of himself as Superman and nobody sees. Humans just don't spot things!
Watching Reeve body language and posture change from Clark to Kal el is amazing physical acting. He did something like this in the first film when Clark arrived after Supermans flight with Lois. Clark takes off his glasses, voice changes, body language shifts, starts to tell her, has second thoughts, and reverses back into Clark persona..very impressive. But then, Chris Reeve went to Julliard so..
Not just that, he was one of only two students to be selected for advanced acting classes, reserved for the truly special talents. The other student was Robin Williams.
@@adrienneflowers2237 that's right
I wish he never had gotten hurt and was still alive today
We all do *sigh*. I was so heartbroken when he died, but then there was that little glimmer of comfort in knowing he was truly free of what had to be unbearable physical and emotional pain, even though he hid it well with the amazing strength and heart he had. I was just as heartbroken when his wife passed shortly after him and wonder if she didn't just sort of give up the will to live so she could be with him. I know she loved their children and never would willingly leave them but when the love of your life dies after such a struggle...well, I wouldn't blame her for wanting to be with him. May they both rest together eternally.
Maybe Christopher Reeves didn’t die, he just simply fake his death so he can become full time superman to continue protecting us
Christopher Reeve’s accident was most surly a burden to him and his loved ones. But to the rest of the world he became the perfect example of what a Superman in the real world should be. He fought for so long to cure his Paralysis while at the same time Sharing inspiring messages with the world. There’s a video of him moving his foot very shortly before he died. In that one moment he proved that paralysis might be cured one day.
I was talking with him a few days before, and he was his usual self which he could be only if already knowing you, as his true personality was to be just a born reserved person, observant. He was always so careful, nothing could tell of what would happen, he barely survived then and there, and I believe for a purpose too. His loved ones needed him much longer, and all those brave ones dealing with handicaps he came to represent as Public figure. But I had never the chance to see him again in person. Missed him way before he passed away. Many millions of people did, not only because his career, but because he was a very likable person.
Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder will always be Superman and Lois Lane in our hearts.
I must admit that whenever I watch another actress- even an actress I like, such as Amy Adams - play Lois Lane, I think, "They're no Margot Kidder." It's tragic how Kidder's life fell apart with mental illness and depression. She deserved so much better than that.
For me one of the best pieces of non verbal acting. When Clark stands back to Lois before the removal of his glasses. The subtle shoulder slouch of Clark changes to Superman’s stance. He grows by 2 inches. Really is amazing for me
The power of the glasses
And Chris Reeve's ability to change his body posture and mannerisms to the point where you believe they are two different people.
O melhor disfarce!
@@dan_hitchman007 Yes that's true
Glasses that won’t melt from heat vision
The power of Christopher Reeve's acting!
Rest in peace in heaven Sir Christopher Reeves
A childhood hero, A whole life inspiration
Reeve.
And RIP Margot, my favorite Lois.
@@gargouenzene dang she died too?
@@serenitybeats1677 Sadly yes, by suicide back in 2018. I was so hurt to hear she died but she had fought so many demons for so long that for her, death was a release of all pain into peace. At least, that's what I pray for her soul.
Christopher Reeve displayed a masterclass of acting in just a few seconds. Extremely rare technique
True. Another great turn like this was in The Good Place at the end of season one. Ted Danson. Brilliant.
“I don’t know why I did that.”
“Maybe you wanted to.”
“I don’t think I did...”
“Maybe you didn’t want to with your mind, but you wanted to with your heart.”
This is how you write a scene!
@@danielguth5777 🤪
@@danielguth5777 no this scene works and the donner cut scenes are better but these scenes is why lester is perfect directing superman iii
The screenplay was written by Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather series, that’s why.
He wanted to bone her and knew that revealing his identity would turn her on. He couldn't bare to hold in in any longer. The Clark jig made her dry as the desert.
He set the tone for all of the Supermen that came after him.
Probably all superheroes in general.
More like he raised the bar so high the rest sucked
@@80steen44 IDK. Henry Cavill is doing a good job.
@johnathanwoods1223 Henry Cavill is nowhere near as versatile as Christopher Reeve was. Christopher Reeve literally change his voice and body posture as a nerdy Clark Kent to macho Superman 💪
Sad day when we lost Christopher Reeves.! He was the best Superman. I love this one. I don’t think anybody could fill Chris’s shoes as Superman.
I was crushed when I heard he passed and then for his wife to pass soon afterward was just heartbreaking. I felt so much for their children having to grow up without their parents, but they all seem to have matured into good people so the seeds were sown early on.
I think the current Superman actor is good. What lets him down is bad writing.
Reeve.
Same goes for Margot Kidder, she died last year
@@IgorSalaj3578 RIP to my favorite duo as Clois.
Christopher Reeve performance as superman/Clark Kent is one for the ages!!!! Absolutely amazing
Probably u r an old man.
Today I knew this superman actor exist too
2:44 god his smile is the best
I have seen the unused scene where Lois shoots Clark with blanks. I can see why they went with this instead. Less about trickery and "gotcha" and more about "it's time to come clean and talk". Great transition by Christopher Reeve in both scenes!
I think the other does the character of Lois more justice. It was always a little ridiculous, that probably the foremost investigative reporter in the world, couldn't discern Clark from Superman when she was the closest to both. The window jump and the gun in Donner's original version, isn't about trickery, it was about Lois doing what Lois would do, pursuing her hunch, and uncovering the truth. Getting to the real him, and wanting him to be truthful with her. His reaction when she reveals it was blanks in the gun, is just pure admiration for her, which is again exactly right for both characters and their relationship.
RIP Mr. Donner, who brought me here (and to many other clips today).
That was for casting. And it doesn't make sense that Superman wouldn't know whether he was hit by bullets or not. I do think Lois should have figured it out for herself, like the scene where she doodles on the newspaper and jumps out the window.
@@LFire12 I think it makes more sense for Superman to reveal his identity rather than have Lois expose it, because the crux of the movie is about the battle between his selfish desires to be with Lois and him protecting Earth as Superman, so for him to reveal it is to start his arc of ignoring humanity meanwhile Zod takes over, otherwise it wouldn't be his fault cause Lois found out herself.
Christopher Reeves was an excellent actor and fantastic cast for Superman. Legend
My favourite scene from any superman movie.. Christopher Reeve acts this brilliantly still gives me goose bumps no matter how many times I've watched it
Christopher Reeve brought so much humility and goodness to the role of Superman. Replacing him is impossible IMO.
They've replaced him numerous times. Chris Reeves was the best Superman because he was our era's Superman. He was wonderful in the role, and it really humanized him beautifully. Since then, we've had three other Supermans, and they all have their fans.
I love the chemistry Reeve and Kidder had. I think it in many ways showed their real life friendship
What a handsome couple they were! still the best pair for the movie for my personal taste. RIP for both of them.
I prefer (shipping?) Clark with his high-school-crush, Lana. She likes Clark for who he is and isn't in love with Superman because he's good and powerful.
Has to be one of the best scenes ever. Absolutely brilliant acting by the 2 of them.
Yeah, in hindsight that room is pretty terribly designed.
They are playing newly weds in the honeymoon suite. The fireplace in the middle is supposed to be romantic.
gargouenzene if Clark was a normal person, he’d have been seriously injured, that wouldn’t be too romantic.
@@MadameTammalike she said : it happened because he wanted to tell her he's Superman. And newly weds are adults. Adults are supposed to be careful around a fireplace.
@@gargouenzene It was still stupid for there to be a rug like that, a rug that could so easily be tripped over. Even if there was no fireplace, for a rug like that, something that could be tripped over that easily, to be in the middle of the room like that, that was still pretty dumb. It was still badly designed with that rug, especially with that kind of fireplace in the middle of the room like that, regardless of how old or young someone might be.
MadameTamma it was the 1970’s ffs
Of all the Superman movies past and present, Reeve pulled off the Clark/Superman difference the best. Everyone else was just hunks with glasses.
This was movie magic. The acting, the music, the cinematography, the writing... all contributed to the wonderful verisimilitude of these 2 movies.
What's astonishing is he's giving a killer performance for the 8 year olds at the time who would grow up to discuss how good his acting is.
These two had an amazing, dynamic chemistry. Can't argue with that.
She really had some words of wisdom. And he, was lucid, presence of mind, etc. They were a perfect match.
Margot Kidder in this scene looks particularly stunning. And great chemistry between the two of course.
He really is and always will be Superman
Without question Christopher Reeve was the perfect man to play superman
Reeves was pure class.
Margot too.
I always loved this scene...the way these two are with each other...Reeve was so lovely as Superman, and Margot was so lovely as Lois ❤️
Christopher Reeve was the only actor who didn't need the cape to be Superman.
I saw one of those making-of casting videos where actors thought they'd have to pose with fists on hips and chest thrust out to be Superman.
i miss Mr Reeve & Ms Kidder you made my childhood special may you both fly together again in heaven you two were the best Lois & Clark
Reeve and Kidder were so perfect for their roles
Such a Romantic scene this is... one of best ... simple wprda...without any over the top dialogues... just feel happy looking at them both...
"You will believe that a man can fly." Or so said the advertising hook when the original Superman movie with Christopher Reeve came out. And you know what? We did...
She looks like Monica from friends
And a little bit of that woman from Criminal minds
She reminds me of Rashida Jones
@@maxamillion2140 yeah i always think Rashida Jones should play Lois
Max Amillion yeah but like lighter skin
Or should we say Monica looks like her? 😁
When Clark takes off his glasses, we see superman. When I take off my glasses, I don't see anyone 😂
Midnight on a Sunday ... watching this and just in awe of these two beautiful humans - masters of their craft and bringing back almost 40 years to a time of dreams and positive light. I mean the Clark to Kal El is just amazing here. Two truly beautiful people here making me dream again after all these years.
He is Superman and always will be.
Best super hero of all time. Period. Also, Christopher Reeve fits the superman description.
And Margot fits Lois's description.
Endgame is a thing so not even close
Loved this film as kid. Must've watched 30 times as kid
Back when hotels were affordable.
That amazing little nod to the Superman theme tune when he finally turns round after removing his glasses...
Just sheer top notch acting. Brilliant film all round.
Still my favorite superhero movie.
Clumsy scene but what stellar acting by Christopher Reeve. What a performance!
The ultimate dream male figure 🤩 Extraordinarily handsome, strong, super hero and super humble. This is the best Superman movie ever made 🌟
My mom use to say that's the most handsome white man she ever seen lol.
I realized as an adult that he was definitely the main reason I feel a strong attraction toward tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed White men lol.
He was an amazingly stunning human and a good man.
Is your mom Asian?
Great film. I first saw the Christopher Reeves movies as a kid & absolutely loved it. These films & “Jaws” were incredible to watch as a kid.
I'm torn by this scene, I prefer the Donner version because it shows Lois' resourcefulness with the blanks as opposed to the clumsiness of Clark by tripping on the rug. But the Donner version was a screen test with both actors being distant and almost uncomfortable compared to the Lester version, which had the advantage of time allowing the actors to become closer and familiar. Also there is one thing I believe this version does better, which is to show the vulnerability of Superman. The Donner version Clark was more closed off and judging at Lois for shooting at him, but this version we see Clark in a more open way, not as the bumbling reporter with no friends or the immortal and confident god Superman, but as the real man inbetween those identities. The vulnerable and regretful way he speaks whilst holding his glasses is one of only a few times this character gets to be honest with others and himself, this the Clark who sits on his own in the fortress of solitude hearing the whole world at once and maybe regretting his role as Superman.
She should have figured it out for herself; and not become a hysteric because she works alongside Clark Kent while knowing he's Superman.
I love Christopher Reeves Superman. He's the best even though he did just trip on a pink bear rug..
Like the woman he loves so much said : he wanted to do that.
Will forever be Superman...
Christopher Reeve was the best Superman his acting was just perfect!
Such a handsome man
I was so lucky to see this in the theater when 'you will believe a man can fly'. CR is the Superman of the ages. RIP
I Will Always Love You Lady Margot Kidder, What a beautiful Woman and What an Incredible Actress
Superman and Lois Lane were so much in love on screen
They had such amazing chemistry
Clark Kent's glasses: the best camouflage device ever conceived
It's not only the glasses. Christopher changes his posture and voice.
Umm. No. Lois lane has to be the stupidest person ever not to recognize him. I like her character but come on:)
@@michellemckillop2931 Funnily enough, Henry Cavill tried this out once in New York. He strolled out in public wearing his Clark Kent disguise (glasses, suit, everything) and nobody actually recognized him. PLUS, he even straight up opened his jacket to reveal the Superman logo underneath and STILL, nobody recognized him. He tweeted about his experiment later saying: "The glasses are enough!"
Famously, Christopher Reeves once ate at a diner in his Clark Kent outfit and nobody batted an eye. He came by sometime later in his Superman costume and suddenly everyone wanted a picture.
Seriously, you know what they say. If you want to hide something, hide it in plain sight. If you want to hide a tree, use a forest. If you want to hide a man, make that man as unremarkable as possible and watch him disappear in a crowd.
Christopher Reeve, such a good man he was.
These movies were my childhood.
I remember watching these movies and enjoying myself. Superman, Star Wars , Raiders of lost Arc and many others. Some were exciting and some were just nerdy, but you were taken away for a couple hours of the harshness that life can bring you. No hidden messages except for products and no politics or causes, unless you went to see a movie with that theme in mind. I miss these movies even if they were a little corny at times.
"Smoking causes cancer, Lois."
rest in peace to both and to quote mark hamill on screen she was magic offscreen she was the sweetest woman i have ever known i will miss you margo kitter.
ah this scene gives me so much feels...
It's amazing how Christopher Reeve can do 2 voices
The Superman of our time.
This Superman with Michael keatons Batman and Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman. Damn now that’s a movie
I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the theatrical cut of Superman II to the Donner cut. There are some things the Donner Cut does better than the Lester cut, but overall, I think the Lester cut is the better movie. It felt like a romance movie with Superman and told much more story, something the Donner cut didn't have a lot of.
I've also thought Superman 2 was top-notch. Superman was the introduction, but Superman 2 delved further in and is one of those wonderful sequels that matches the power and impact of the first movie (if not surpasses it) and draws people further in.
shreyan kanvinde That comment was a year ago. I rewatched the Christopher Reeve Superman movies and now, I agree Superman 1 was the best.
Both the original 1978 and II were the best.
But the Donner Cut of Superman II is the best in terms of being more in line what Richard Donner had envisioned.
@@DarlingNikki2 We talking theatrical release of the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2?
Viceregal Dust 31
I agree. This one holds a special place with me as well.
Ahhhhhh... great memories thank you all
I always loved Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder as Superman and Lois Lane.
Lois and Clark are now reunited in heaven. There's a good place for them both.
Heaven do not exist.
@@MMaheshThakur
I wouldn't disrespect the dead if I were you. They don't like being defiled.
@@MrScaryPasta 👍👍
I feel like Lois found out he was Superman a bunch of times throughout the four movies. If only Clark would stop errasing her memory!
He erased her mind of the memory in this film because the stress of knowing his identity was too much for her. She rediscovered his secret in Superman IV, and Clark let her have that memory until the end of their "joyride" at that part of the film, then he erased it again.
@@Gameflyer001 Didn't like her becoming a hysteric while working alongside him in his secret identity. The mother in the comic book, Power Pack, went insane when she found out her kids had superpowers, and that was after meeting superheroes and aliens.
Jimmy Olsen found out his secret identity upon meeting Linda Lee (Supergirl), so I think Superman must have given him the kiss of amnesia too.
"Let's go to my place." Freaking Superman. After taking her flying on their first date. And the music. This movie lived up to the legend.
This version of Lois is by far my favourite: she points out how stupidly see-through Clark's disguise is, she is resource-full, brave, grateful, inquisitive and she helps Clark out a lot. Most other versions of her are such whiners.
Very good acting and dialogue here.
Thus has to be the cutest scene ever!
Reeve was a brilliant superman even fooled me when he took them glasses off
"where do you want to....talk?"
-Damn Lois got thirsty quick!
Margot Kidder is, was, and forever will be the best Lois Lane ever.
This was intimate, & deep at the same. Love overrides always. Self-honesty. Is truth.
I saw this at the cinema back in 1980 and it was brilliant I've watched it more than 100 times I wish they were able to make another film so good
I love seeing Christopher Reeve. What a great looking man he was. RIP.
Lol "in that case lets go to my place so you can see 'ALL OF ME' (camera pans to Louis on her knees and kalel standing before her).... 2:00 jeez. Im glad i saw this with kids eyes.and did NOT pick up on this!
REBOOT AMERICA! He said no such thing. He said she should know the whole truth now. Good lord! What planet are you people on?! What movie are you watching?!
@@michellemckillop2931 again hollywood is perverted and was perverted back then. We didn't pick up on this as kids. Thank God. But NOW in context..JEEZ THESES MOVIE TYPES WERE PERVS!
THEY BOTH ARE ALWAYS THE BEST SUPERMAN AND LOUIS LANE....😊
My favorite scene😍
The definitive Superman...Christopher we miss you.
