I liked the movie (and own it) because it's something different. I'm also in love with the music score too. I listen to this at least once a day. lol

[piloneman]

I don't care what people say. I loved this movie and this scene, in particular, is just magical.

[UKLeather]

The music from this film has been with me ever since I heard it as a child. Just awesome and inspiring.

[amcstudio30]

@UKLeather you know i love reading on here with others such as yourself about the great fils of the 80's

[Jez32uk]

i fell in love with helen slater in this movie and particularly in the scene where she looks down at her legs when flying for the first time, well hovering.

[Caswell39]

You all must admit; the rear screen projection and cable supports are still far more impressive than those pathetic Disney-parade "pig guards" and plastic eyed Ewoks of "Return of the Jedi", let alone those crude puppets and halloween masks in the "Cantina" scene of the original kiddie flick "Star Wars".

[bcoleman519]

The music is wonderful, and the medium close-up of her flying through the clouds at 3:16 still brings me great joy.

[kingcherub]

She's got to be one of the sexiest women to ever live.

[UFOSPACE1999]

Where did this SuperSuck Girl come from..The SWAMP? FOR REAL..could someone explain that CARDBOARD PICTURE OF HELEN SLATER COMING OUT OF THE FUCKING SWAMP???? NO! REALLY?

[DannyLovesOregon]

This movie would've been filmed in Chicago, IL and New York

[Andy2481]

This movie was filmed in England and Scotland

[janhammerrules]

I'd F her.

[DannyLovesOregon]

Using her powers which snaps, and using her heat vision to make plants grow

[hellgod21]

that is so cool ! ... i remeber this part of the film the most, when I saw it as a little boy, it made me feel so free and it still makes me soooo relaxed and carefree :))

[MiloDC]

As good as this scene is -- the whole feel of it is just majestic -- the best thing about it is Goldsmith's EPIC music. That is a SICK theme (just as good as Williams' theme for the heroine's male counterpart) and the way he scores it for the long-distance flight part is brilliant (LOVE that pizzicato double bass skip-beat and tambourine at 2:33!).

[pufferfishish]

BEAUTIFUL.

[Jimjones1980]

If only they had this technology in George Reeves' days. RIP Mr Reeves

[suburbcinderella]

does anyone know how they made her fly? back then i dont think they had CGI, and i didnt see any strings? PLEASE HElP!!!

[freddygotme]

Helen Slater (and a stuntwoman in some places) were in fact attached to wires. It's difficult to see the wires but if you notice her cape looks as though it's been purposely attached to her waist so you can't see the bulge from the harness. That's why it looks so real.

[pufferfishish]

it really does look so real; actually pretty serendipitous too that the cape is attached to her waist because if it wasn't, her cape would go over her head as she spun through the air and that would just look daft!

[gizmo4eva]

Notice from 02:00 to 02:28 the flying is filmed on a long lens with lots of out of focus foreground junk (tree branches and plant leaves), so the wires are out of focus. The film was also shot using anamorphic lenses, where out of focus elements are usually blur more veritcally (convenient for vertical wires)! ) 02:32 onwards is front projection.

It's pretty clever but fairly simple camera tricks. Alan Hume was the cinematographer and I think Freddie Cooper was the operator.

[DJMistaOz]

i got the dvd and i always put this in my home system at high volume. once wanted to do for my college years as a final project a short film of her. but i never got the chance to do it.

[JayCroix]

I think that 1:50 - 2:32 is some of the best flying sequences in ANY movie. Helen Slater really captured the essence of flying and it looked SO real.

[freddygotme]

It looks real because Helen Slater is attached to wires and a harness and it's excellently choreographed too.

[NXSeven]

I have to agree, I haven't seen flying like that in ANY movie produced...even nowadays. It's sad to think that a movie over twenty years old tops what we can do with our technology.

[alucard624]

Most people I've talked to who have seen this film and remember it can only really remember the part where she started flying to Jerry Goldsmith's music. I still think its the best part of the movie, next to the whole Phantom Zone stuff. Honestly, what was Faye Dunaway doing in this film? There should have been a real villian from the comics for this.

[porcorosso81]

Really beautiful music to a hilariously cheesy scene.

[SpiderJon07]

yeah

funny how the score is the only appealing thing in this movie aside from looking at Helen Slater :)

[gizmo4eva]

I dunno. 03.20 , when Peter Cook is staring in amazement still gives me goosebumps.

[williamkatt81]

I love the movie andthis piece of music here.... The music itself makes me want to fly... Great stuff... :-)

[SpiderJon07]

yeah me too man

really wish i could fly just like her

[zebulomzb]

Eu amo este vídeo! Eu sou do Brasil.

I love this video! I'm from Brazil.

I would like to buy the VHS or DVD of this movie. In Brazil there isn't this movie for sale.

[Latias82]

Not rubbish in my opinion. I first saw this film when I was 6 and thought it was totally magical!

[Argocity2006]

There was two versions of this music piece,The first before this was release on dvd was on the VHS and it was a very short piece,Years later when it was showen on tv,they have use this version of the music piece.But to awnser your question,this is the piece from the LP

[dafmurray]

Which version of the Goldsmith cue is this: the UK or the US version? Sounds like the version originally released on LP by Varese Sarabande in 1984.
