"They say the world doesn't need a savior. But every day I hear people asking for help."
Kal-El, Last Son of Krypton
This whole sequence shows that you don’t need a badass villain or overly violent fight scenes to have an exciting superhero film.
Well, Luthor was kinda badass for causing all that destruction with the rocket. But I know what you mean.
Of course not, just good writing.
Then why did Donner intend to have Zod and his two cohorts have a huge, destructive battle inMetropolis in the sequel? Folks really do love to stretch to pump up this film at the expense of more modern takes.
@@peterp2153 hey smartass I’m talking about THIS movie, not the sequel. Just cause the sequel did that, it doesn’t take away from the ending this movie had. Doesn’t matter if it’s the same filmmaker. They’re still separate movies.
Maybe you should actually think about what you’re saying before you spew it into a comment section
True but Man of Steel was a great combination of both good writing and bombastic scenes.
He wasn't the first. He won't be the last. But Christopher Reeve was definitely, the best.
Tessseract 2:56 I agreed with you.
He and Henry Cavill are the best movie portrayers of Superman
Dan Castro agreed.
Agree !
👍🏾👍🏿👍🏽👍🏻
Love how he even slows long enough for Jimmy to take a photo. He thinks of everything
2:55-2:58 me too.
He’s hooking his buddy Jimmy up so he can get a raise from the $40/week he’s currently making.
3:29 love this flying sequence. Feels like Superman is really flying towards you!
No other Christopher Reeve movie can beat Superman from 1978.
EDIT: No other Superman movie can beat Superman from 1978
Agreed. It's a classic and my all time favorite movie
Superman 2 Donner cut
Gentlemen is that man alright. Lines like that is what made this superman so iconic.
En el doblaje latino, Superman dice: ¿El señor está bien?
If that civilian wasn't alright, Superman would've air lifted that man to the nearest hospital and back to save everyone else.
Christopher Reeve is, was and will always will be the greatest Superman of all time.
What an absolutely brilliant film. The part when you can see Superman fly towards the bus while the kids are struggling always moves me. It’s that sense of hope.
0:10 me too.
"Go ahead. Shoot."
I like that bit, no idea why it was removed from the theatrical cut. It doesn't affect the pacing at all.
I like it too, but I remember watching it as a kid on TV thinking that rather than Supes carrying Jim for a good shot, he could be saving people! It just makes him blase about the disaster around him (which isn't a good thing) Actually, I think about his reaction in Superman 3 (when under the influence of the synthetic Kryptonite) and he was blase about saving the truck stuck on the bridge.
I agree
i thought it was cool the way he stopped for jimmy let him get the shot he was probably going for before the whole thing started
Just my speculation but it could be Donner felt it impacted Superman’s urgency in responding to the destruction. Had to be a creative decision rather than a pacing one.
2:57 me too.
Jimmy always risked his life for the perfect shot.
Eduvigis moreno Fajardo el mejor superman muy vueno
MMAFighter38 2:51-2:57 👍🏻
Agreed. Sadly he ended up with a broken leg and 12 melted film rolls while trying to get some good shots of the chemical plant fire in Superman 3
I love that part after Superman saves Jimmy. "Go ahead. Shoot." I'll bet Perry would have been pleased with those photos.
Perry would even let Jimmy call him "Chief " for that one day with the pics Olson got. Thanks to Superman!
0:14 "It's okay kids, it's all right now." Why this Superman is BEST Superman.
I've never seen this extended Jimmy footage. The part where he gets the shot should always be included! Great upload!
MP R 2:54-2:56 me too.
@@nathancruz9172 but there is also an extended shot when Superman leaves Jimmy with Lois ( after he goes back in time and Lois lives ) where Jimmy realizes he has no film in his camera ( I think it was film, could be the lens cap was on, long time since I have seen the 3 hour version.)
This and a lot more were all on its cinematic release.
@@JohnMartin-oh6bf I was going to say, I remember very well that the scene was in the theaters when I saw it.
The CZcams comments for and against Superman just show how if Superman was real, some people wouldn't appreciate him, a selfless hero who does everything he can to help the most people possible.
I would honestly agree with lex if superman was real. No man can have to much power. Power corrupts. Obviously in the comics I cheer for superman but in real life every villian is the hero of his story. Nobody would be able to stop him if he went out of line
@@motler7334 except batman ;)
Luke Freeman yes
@@motler7334 Your point is totally wrong. His weakness is the meteor rock from Krypton if he is out of line. In real world tho, people of power who you already hear in economic news, have 0 weakness since they managed to ruin education, ruin television, ruin healthcare and economy :) Who is gonna stop them buddy ? Yea. Thank you.
so So SO TRUE!!!
3:23 "You're safe here son"
Seconds later, boulders start falling.
I like how he knows Lois will be coming along soon.
Lmfao
1977
0:19 Love that shot, so realistic.
0:21 me too.
1977
Superman The Movie is and will forever be my all time favorite movie. A true classic
2:13 me too.
1977
Great special effects for those times
Luis Enriquez
And today....CGI sucks!
what's crazy is, the very first Superman had the best effects of all four movies. The fourth movie was absolutely horrid from a special effects standpoint and it came out ten years later.
Superman III has the best flying effects, as they had really mastered the wire work by that point. It’s the traditional visual effects that weren’t too great, relying on a lot of cell animation. Probably didn’t help that the cinematography on the film was pretty flat and just the look of the film had that ugly early 80s look. Don’t know if it was down to the film stock or that a lot of the daytime scenes are either cloudy or completely washed out (to hide the wire work I guess). Compare with the beautiful cinematography of STM by Geoffrey Unsworththat has an almost timeless look.
Superman IV was obviously a complete disaster, since it was basically budgeted like a 1950s B-Movie.
Superman II gets a grade of Incomplete. Almost all the big effects shots are from Lester, who like Joss Whedon on Justice League was rushing to finish the reshoots and additions footage with an approach of “thats good enough”. The few Donner scenes line up with STM since it was from the same crew and shoot. The Donner Cut new footage doesn’t really help as most of it is CGI work on a limited budget.
@@captainnutsack8151 A movie isn't going to be able to take advantage of the advances in special effects technology if the budgets keep decreasing.
I just wanted to see Henry's Super doing something like this.
I think Man of Steel needed more time to introduce Superman. But they tried what was the equivalent of mashing Superman and Superman II together into one movie, so they had to cut out the first movie heroics in favor of jumping straight into the supervillain battles.
Rest In Peace Margot Kidder
2:16 Gentlemen, does that man need help?
Na, we carry his drunk unconscious ass all the time 😆
Outside of Jimmy Olson being his co worker, you know Superman is just a bro to help him someone get a good shot.
The extra long version of the earthquake sequence conveys far better than the shorter version the sub theme I suspect Richard Donner wanted to convey - this is the destruction of Krypton all over again
Some beautiful flying shots and take offs here. Wish they were in the original cut
This generation is just too far indulged in modern cinema to appreciate how far ahead of their time these special effects were. They simply didn’t have the technology in the 70’s. The graphics they managed in this film were at no spared expense.
"gentleman is that Man alright?" Then he bends his body and takes off flying...that always gave me the chills....lol...since I was a kid. Chris really made you believe he could fly ..it's crazy when you're a young kid seeing this for the first time.👍🏻💯😃🦸🏻
1977
2:56 Should've been in the original cut
Indeed.
A town about to be destroyed.
Superman: 'Go ahead, takes some pictures, Jimmy'
The first hydroelectric worker's scream sound effect was used for Ernst Stavro Blofeld's hired helicopter pilot in _For Your Eyes Only_ (1981) and for one of Hugo Drax's perfect specimen soldiers killed in the space station battle of _Moonraker_ (1979). Remember, this movie's mono/monaural audio mix used Cinesound sound effects.
Did anyone notice this Jimmy was"The Cop in Justice League,The Better Version😂"that Lois Lane always brought an extra cup of coffee for on her way to visit The Superman Memorial.
Yea he was in that other version too,played"The Cop that was signing people in when Barry went to visit his Dad in Prison".
It was kind of cool that they established a friendship between the modern Lois and the Donner Jimmy, even if he wasn't literally Jimmy in that movie.
0:54 Adam Savage exaggerated the fuck out of this. It's actually pretty good.
I love it this scene, it's awesome.
I'll take quality miniatures made by artists and shot on film using great camera angles over CGI any day
And those miniatures - they were provided by Derek Meddings, a veteran of Gerry Anderson with shows like _Thunderbirds_ and movies such as _The Spy Who Loved Me_ and _Moonraker._ With Derek Meddings' miniature work, you know there is quality that will end with a bang...
There’s a few shitty miniatures that don’t pass the eye test later in this scene. Specifically the town downriver of Hoover Dam which look exactly like they’re 12 inches tall and have a pitcher of water being poured toward them.
@@peterp2153 Those few shots after the dam burst where Superman saves the town from the flood were not done by Meddings, but by his understudy Brian Smithies. By the time those shots needed to be completed, Meddings had set off to work on the next James Bond movie _Moonraker_ leaving his understudy Brian Smithies in charge - which is why they look like they came out of a subpar version/episode of _Thunderbirds._ If another _Thunderbirds_ alumnus also named Brian - Brian Johnson ( _Alien_ and _The Empire Strikes Back_ ) - who also worked under Meddings and on other Gerry Anderson productions finished Meddings' work, then maybe there would be more consistency.
same
That’s right. I’d forgotten about that. You can certainly tell the difference in quality.
Love this, thank you. This is my Superman.
1977
0:16 - 0:23 "hey, its Superman! he must have saved us". 0:38 - 0:53 SAVES an AMTRAK train from going over, thus, preventing hundreds of LIVES being LOST! 2:08 - 2:23 "Gentleman is THAT MAN alright? "Gee, it's Superman! He must have been the one that saved us!" 2:39 - 3:00 "Hang on Jim! Go ahead, shoot (camera shot)!"
THIS IS WHAT IT REALLY MEANS to be a Super -HERO!!! Not kicking ass, beating up a bad ass, destroying cities, BUT SAVING PEOPLE, CARING for EACH and EVERYONE!
Anyone can put on a crazy outfit and start a fight, but, it takes A REAL HERO 'to PROTECT those who cannot protect themselves', The motto of Marines. And to think there are those among us, that mourn the loss of fisticuffs in this great 1978 movie.
With the exception of the Captain America movies and, the first Avengers Movie in which the heroes went out of their way to save people from the Chitauri, a threat the heroes didn't cause themselves, what OTHER Marvel movies or DCEU movies, have focused on saving people as the primary goal? People that depend on violence to make a movie 'great' NEED to LEARN what it means to HELP people on-a-daily-basis. Being a Superhero you have to start small. then, over the course of time, what's external build to what has already existed, internally.
If the powers-that-be TRULY WANT to make another Superman movie receiving the same rave reviews of the 1978 movie, they must UNLEARN the cynicism of the past four decades, and embrace HOPE over so-called realism.
🙏
Estas escenas, nunca debieron cortarlas en TV.
Well thousands of people are about to die. Lets stop for a second to take a few photos 😂😂😂😂. Priorities 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
The earthquake scene was my favorite where Superman saves California from sinking into the ocean.
John Williams Isolated Score Superfeats
Las arañas que menciona Jimi?
Go ahead shoot!
Work goals right after getting saved 😂😂
Thank God he turned that switch off in time...lol...
The MCU can make anything they want but they can't top this.
Facts. Mcu wishes they could be at the level of this film and no matter how hard they try they never will be
1977
My Superman growing up the best
My hero.
I know its not what Richard Donner wanted , but all these scenes should have been deleted scenes in his special edition explaining why he left them out . He put a few back in anyway which were great ,after all he did shoot them ,its because the 3 hour Tv version was the Salkind's cashing in and Donner's toxic meltdown with ,but fair play to Warner for doing a great job & in Blu Ray
One of my favorite films of all time and very much defined my childhood, but it always bothered me that Superman goes to the trouble of traveling backwards in time and let's the second missile hit anyway. When he sees the alive-again Lois, she tells him the gas station blew up. The gas station blew up because of the missile strike. If you're going to travel backwards in time, you might as well stop the darn thing.
0:44 me too.
0:55 just like “Ice age 2”
Causó un inpacto cultural a nivel mundial
That's SUPERMAN COMPASSIONATE
U cut out the part where he pushed the San Andreas Fault back into position. That was dope.
BRAVO COSMIN BANICA
That train has no wheels 🤣
This part it is my favorite because it is superman
Did that guy just ran into a live wire? 1:55
I love him. The only one Superman.
4:10 Jimmy acquires super speed after dickhead Superman leaves him right next to a fucking mountain during an earthquake.
Why would you build a neighborhood under a dam? WHY?!
I love how superman stops n turns around to let Olsen film
Thank God, the irony, lol!😃
Awesome I wish I like that so cool dude wow
1977
I like it
Should've added the clips to the DVD!!!!!!
The extended footage is now available on the TV cut of the film on Blu Ray. It's worth getting IMO.
1977
All in a days work.
Superman ola que vien
Superman ola
Hello Enrique! There is a superhero in all of us, we just need the courage to put on the cape.
@@allen921 lol head ass!
1977
2:21 LOL
Hi I 've this on DVDs and I loved this video I watched it every Sunday evening with snacks and water👋👍🙂♥️
Lol just water? Nothing else, how about Coke or Pepsi with that?🤣🤣🤣

2:25 Jimmy is holding onto a flat surface
2:35 Jimmy is suddenly holding onto a very jagged surface
La escena de las arañas yo las. Vi en los 80s porque ya no se ve en ninguna edición?
uk tv cut soo many scenes, when they use to show reruns of this movie, i never saw this part jimmy taking a photo?!
Actually , this *is* the TV cut and the shot of Jimmy taking photos is only in this version.
1977
Yah, the days they and we used to say things like holy, mackerel even into the 1980s
This scenes were cut off because of the timing
The reason why Kim Jong Ill wanted to sign the peace agreement with US.
Eduvigis moreno Fajardo en español superman muy bueno como alluda ala jente
I wonder why him and Adam West never did a crossover movie
Huh? Because Adam West was good for what it was but that's a joke. This is a serious film.
@@integrity101 Superman 3 was nothing to write home about
@@alski200
I never said anything about Superman 3
I swear a few of those transitional shots of Superman flying from place to place are a dummy. It’s interesting as the flying shots from the theatrical cut were revolutionary. I’m wondering if the ones found only in the TV edit are from earlier attempts at getting the flying effects down. They don’t seem to jibe with anything from the theatrical.
And hence why they were all cut out of theatrical version. The extended footage of the destruction of Krypton also comes to mind in regards to why those shots were cut because frankly they looked cheap as hell with what looked like white styrofoam being thrown around in some shots.
Yeah. Basically the 3 hour cut was the locked assembly cut before Stuart Baird started the fin as k edit. So this would’ve been the point to start cutting out stuff that slowed the film down or didn’t look right.
2:43
Triste demais esse ator faz falta 😢
Superman saved Jimmy Olsen there once (1978) ❤
2:50
Came here to watch Superman actually save people, my generation doesn't have that.
JammyD Media Oh, fuck off. This is factually wrong.
You got TRUMP
@@nope5657 Found the Snyder fanboy. I guess destruction porn is more your thing when you have Zod and Superman destroying an entire city.
He's busy punching a giant laser for the sake of punching a giant laser in that atrocious film. Superman 78 and Superman II are superior.
I know, he just stands there and wonders why the courtroom blew up!
I love reeve
1977
Ago long I was teen saw at t.v. boy picture and superman save the of life.
2:56 go ahead, shoot. 📸
on normal version deleted scene or ? never see this on the movie
@@fipsassmussen1046 2:59 that’s from the 3 hours 📺 extended cut.
Superman's job? Replacing broken railway tracks with himself.
Jimmy rescued, etc funny ❤️
A brief loss of priorities for a picture
Yeah, this is nice and all
But, he's not letting thousands get killed as collateral damage, it's not DARK or realistic enough!!! Therefore i cannot relate to this Superman.
*AND do i sense actual saturated COLOR in this motion picture????* Worst Superman movie ever bro, needs more mindless CGI 'DBZ' esque action, political undertones & melodramatic neck snapping, _now THAT's Superman_
L K i’m totally stealing that lol
1977
How the fuck can he spare few seconds for jimmy to take few shots when speed is of essence to save others
It was deleted in the official version
I'm glad this was not the theatrical version! It's neat to see now but it's so much less serious when when you have all those little campy corny things going on !
Rude of Superman to reverse time so that Olsen lost the shots he took.
Lol poor Jimmy
Jimmy was never the sharpest tool in the shed. The dam cracks right where is standing and instead of running for his life is takes two steps to the right thinking the the cracking won't go any further. LOL. On a positive note, if Lex Luther did this today, the dam might crack but the water would not be much of a problem.
1:51. Explosion
Don't worry Jimmy.. I can't do a pull up either.
Superman vs quake
To think we see Marc McClure as a cop in Snyder's Justice League
And he played an older Kryptonian who had been on Earth a long time in one episode of Smallville.
1977
3ωρη τηλεοπτικη εκδοση;;;;;;;μονο εγω βλεπω 4:35 διαρκεια;;;;;;;;;;;🤪🤪
Who here came from watching Adam Savage's video to see the effect of using wrong scale on props?
As opposed to Man of Steel's "Superman DOESN'T save people. He just screams savagely and causes 9/11 times a billion." Superman 1978 and Superman II remain the gold standard for not only Superman films, but comic book films in general. Fuck that MCU garbage. 20+ movies and nowhere near as great as this first attempt by Reeve.
And for once, the three Amtrak EMD SDP40F diesels are not responsible for this near-catastrophe with the then _Southwest Limited._
