The Making Of Superman The Movie 1978 (Part 1)

[LordReserei01]

Even out of character, he had the presence and personality of Superman. At 5 years old, he made me believe a mad could fly, and at the current age of 24 - he still makes me believe a man can fly.

Requiescat in Pace, Christopher Reeve.

This movie is a masterpiece. Thank you for uploading this documentary. 

[Jivette66]

I was so in love with him...and he could have been my dad^^

[DBNIGHT]

WHAT A NICE GUY . WHY THE HELLDID HE HAVE TO DIE

[Incrue]

USA was such a great country...

[OldSmellyCrotch]

The man with suckers to climb as a glass wall- Having things is not a valid cause of action, also Superman would have to appear as a witness to answer this question:

"Superman, can you tell me and the rest of the court, factually, what is the State?"

Lawyers, not even super-lawyers, can answer that one.

[avhimanyu1709]

Superman's Alter Ego is Christopher Reeve.......8)

[yumyumluckycharms]

My first, my only, and the best I looked up to during my childhood.

[thebakerman1]

It's a damn shame what happened to Christopher Reeve :(

[DanSullivan129]

@thebakerman1 I know, all because of a horse riding accident :( ....my childhood hero!!

[renrocks27]

[ion010101]

I think a black guy should play Superman.

[TheSebulba1978]

@ion010101 Nope - I like Superman as White and Blade as black!! Lets not fuck things up!!!

[msmithstud]

@TheSebulba1978 i agree. i've heard some blacks mention the possibility of a black James Bond.

[joeypesci]

@ion010101 Why? The character is white.  There would be up-raw if a white man played Shaft. It just wouldn't be right. The character Shaft is black, Blade is black.

[spacyfoil]

1 Dislike.....hmmm I wonder if that is Lex.

[postersandstuff]

@spacyfoil Nah , just Chuck Norris again.......he hates Superman and/or Bruce Lee videos *chuckles*

[Faceman825]

@spacyfoil Whoever he was, he knelt before Zod.

[ian3754]

You know what I'm a heterosexual dude, but dammit Christopher Reeve was a good looking guy!

[scumatron]

chris reeves is awesome! :)

[videozfann]

RIP Chrsistopher Reeve!! A Superman to the end!

[Transam4000]

You better believe it!!!!!! He is superman!!! No one will ever take his place......I really liked him!

[caitlinjane92]

Reeve was SOOO GORGEOUS in his years as Superman.

[027220]

2:21 Yes!

[Superbatfan]

Lois Lane said it best in Superman II: "You're a tough act to follow". Christopher Reeve as Superman is a tough act to follow.

[UFOSPACE1999]

IF only the Salkinds had left Poor Richard Donner alone..John Williams would of scored Superman 2..and NOT Ken Thorne and the London High School Band!!! LOL

[DaSupermanOf1990]

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE OF EVERYTHING! ONE MICHAEL JORDAN, ONE THE ROCK, ONE MICHAEL JACKSON, AND ESPECIALLY ONE CHRISTOPHER REEVE,

[miraeja]

[NC198600]

Christoper Reeves will always be SUPERMAN!!!

[MrGorancaci]

@NC198600 yes

[bigsleep32]

@NC198600 I'm sorry but Dean Cain is the real Superman. Just kidding. 

[the81kid]

@bigsleep32

Nothing wrong with Dean Cain. But Christopher Reeve was perfect!

[TheCoastalPirate]

I still miss you, Christopher.

[licksuck]

best movie ever... better than the new one!

[heartofzorro]

Reeve Superman 4ever RIP

[cellardoor199991]

Reeve was a very classical actor. There's nothing natural/method-esque about his acting. Still good though

[stingray4real]

RIP Susannah York

[ritter89]

Never understood the fascination with comic books heroes, even though I spent most of my life drawing comics. I always liked underground comics/ Mad magazine and graphic novels much better. DC superheros always seemed too one dimensional and boring, especially Superman. However, I really liked this movie. They gave the character a complexity and depth that was absent from the comic. The new DC characters are more like anti heroes, everything that the comic Superman wasn't

[personalkoment]

our family was so lucky to have a book of this one, THE MAKING OF SUPERMAN, it's still with us until now, we consider it as a treasure! we all love Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder.

[maxismax100]

@personalkoment GEORGE REEVS CHRISTOPHER REEVS SPOOKY BOTH DIES WOW

[CrusaderKal]

@maxismax100 everyone dies son....

[JaimeRoxy1]

Christopher Reeve is so cute. His blue eyes make me melt.

[TraditionalTKD]

For years, I associated Ernie Anderson the narrator with Superman. When I was 10 years old and Superman came out, I thought that movie was the greatest thing I had ever seen.

[Mysterwright]

That narrator was cool. He did all the intros for TV show premieres back in the day. I remember his voice on the commercials for V and The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, etc,

[DanZackIsrael]

Christopher Reeve IS Superman

[027220]

@DanZackIsrael Yes he is.

[twobit1000]

thanx for  uploading

[pjpolarski]

Gravity problem at 3:49 - 3:51! Superman's cape is hanging toward the building instead of hanging down toward the ground underneath him!

[butchd2009]

rip christopher reeve

[michaelslx]

This was a great video!

[rolybaby]

I haven't seen this since 1980/81 shown on LWT on Sunday.

[SonOfSpork]

@SonOfSpork

A correction: You show me another film and/or an actor that embellishes Superman, I'll call you a liar.

Sorry for the double posts

[Mastermind8908]

@SonOfSpork Tom Welling. The man has Christopher's and Super's jaw and the hair is perfect. I see him as the rebirth of Superman and should reboot the movies in memory of all that came before him. imo

[matt4lyfe]

I give a lot of props to the producers and whomever chooses the actors for choosing Christopher Reeve. Up until then, he wasn't a well-known actor at the time and I believe they passed up on more famous actors in favour of him. He seems to down-to-earth and this role fit him to a tee!

[KLT2013]

man, ever since I first saw Superman when I was little, I've had a huge crush on Christopher Reeve *drools* lol

[mimi42428]

wow he was only 26 years old here!

:-)

[ka85ak]

Fascinating!! Thanks my dear friend!!

[DEXTERTEEOHIO]

The narrator is Ernie Anderson !!! Best known in Cleveland as Ghoulardi !!!

[HCShannon]

@DEXTERTEEOHIO

and to us younger folks at the original announcer on AFV and the narrator of the first two PowerPuff girls episodes!

[achmedlolol]

It fucking sucks that Christopher had his back broken

[mangoprojects]

Thank you for sharing. This is a rare find from the internet archive. Once again, thanks for posting. Thank you. - behind vfx

[rmcnyc]

I remember seeing this on tv back in the late 70's/early 80's. It was on ABC (channel 7 here in NYC). That would explain the voice of the narrator, a VERY familiar voice to anyone watching ABC back in those days. This was shown either after the theatrical release of the movie, or the ABC television premiere a few years later. It is great to see this again!

[CalgarSkull]

Is there a part 3?  =O

[5648378]

those are the greatest movie sets in movie history I think

[CalgarSkull]

When is the making of from??

[iammt00]

just hope he would be still alive and play as superman's father in superman returns

[d4seasons]

@iammt00 if c. reeve was alive & healthy i'm sure he'll be a better actor or a politician. he was asked to run for congress.****

[EloiseDecember]

Could he BE any nicer? Sweet guy. Tragic what happened.

[Daniiel76]

Christopher Reeve always IS best Superman

[ELDESP1978]

THIS VIDEO IS WONDERFUL

[lailaizumi]

I LOVE CHRISTOPHER REEVE SO SO SO MUSH

[TheBigValley]

Great movie and unforgettable Christopher Reeve! Excellent soundtrack!!

[nostalgiajunkie70]

Is the narrator Ernie Anderson?

I just love this movie! When Reeve died, cartoonists drew him in his superman suit flying out of his wheelchair into heaven.

I recently watched Jackie Cooper in The Champ 1931....amazing talent!

[SonOfSpork]

Thank you for this great vid! The Man of Steel lives!!
