To me the thing about the punt is. That it does not look like CGI. Sure it was Slo-mo, but the the continuation looks clean, and most of all real to my eyes.
@Dakers11 It is real, in the sense that the football is made out of wood, and it is shot out of an air cannon buried in the field. You can see the dirt being blown after the shot.
Yeah, Brad is a jerk all right. Still Lana could have been the better person and stay behind and helped Clark. Later when Clark used his super-speed to clean up the stuff and beat the gang on the highway, he was then treated like a freak, which made him more depressed.
The only difference was that Clark Kent in Season 4 of Smallville had his chance to become a star quaterback of Smallville Crows, and quit playing only because he realised that it's close to cheating.
I don't understand why they just didn't film this part before Chris Reeve started working out, and maybe give him a different haircut. This guy doesn't look that much younger than Reeve anyway.
By the way I want to add that I never liked John Byrne's revision, making Clark play football in high school, college, whatever. How the hell can Superman play football and not be the best damn player there EVER was? John Byrne is not the Superman authority anymore then Richard Donner is.
Brad was such a little bitch and always a punk to Clark. As bad as Superman III was, it did give us a glimpse into what a loser Brand turned into as an adult, a man who only had his memories of playing football and being cool in high school.
Well said. Brad the typical scumbag jock in America that acts like a scum cause he thinks he can get into the NFL. And Lana at least in this movie is the typical dumb hot woman in America that goes for the jock muscle fags.
whats interesting here is he likes Lana(even yrs later) but is about to meet the second significant woman in his life,Lois-the little girl on the Amtrak
Altho its not easy to read, the train was painted with a fictional Kansas Star logo...it wasnt supposed to be an Amtrak. The train itself was from a Canadian fleet...
I know, I kinda told the other guy Amtrak never existed in the time period in that particular Smalville scene. He thought it was an Amtrak train So you are correct, it's suppose to be Kansas Star service even though in reality it's Canadian.
I don't know...I like the scene where Clark argues with his adopted father about how frustrating it is to have to conceal his powers. He doesn't call attention to himself because, as his parents taught him, he was brought to Earth for a deeper reason than to become a football hero.
John Byrne's Man of Steel didn't exist till like 8 years later. Besides, is that really the only way to portray Superman's past? Maybe Donner wanted to portray Clark as not having it easy, even with all his powers, that he has to make sacrifices.

Warner brothers made 10 seasons just from an extremely loose interpretation of that scene.

In Superman I we had Brad.
In Smallville we had Whitney Fordman.
The only difference was that Clark Kent in Season 4 of Smallville had his chance to become a star quaterback of Smallville Crows, and quit playing only because he realised that it's close to cheating.

There was no Amtrak service in the 1960s( the time period when the is in Smallville, Kansas takes place).
Amtrak formed in 1971. Superman arrives in Metropolis in 1978,

When Clark kicks the football in the air.......that was like the "matrix special effects" to me when I was a kid. I was like......"Whoa!"
