Clark Kent meets Lois Lane | Superman (1978) 

CJ S 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I agree even though I have to say Henry cavill was born to play superman as well.

Yeah, he out did his Father George Reeve 👍👍

Without a doubt, Best Superman ever

he knew how to play both sides of the character ,clark kent was a role kal el played to blend in with the humans reeves embodied that polarity .MOS clark n kal are one and the same they blurred the line that kal el himself and alot of super heroes create which is alter ego and hero persona

It's so, so cool that in the middle of this flawless newsroom scene that could be from any realistic 20th-century film, Perry casually references an alien having solar-powered super-cells from another galaxy without realizing it. This film is everything.

I like how the Chief describes Clark Kent as "mild-mannered".

Second best line. The best line he had was: "Olsen! Why am I paying you $25 to be a photographer when I should have you arrested for loitering!"

Meant $40. Been a while since I saw this movie 😂

She can hear the $$!

@@manoman0 She makes more than him.... She just thinks its very sweet that he is supporting his mother

There was quite a bit of accidental groin contact between Clark Kent and Lois Lane in this scene. When his pants got drenched, she tried to wipe it off his pants with her bare hands and stroked his johnson. And when he walked to his desk she backed up and instigated a spooning. Lucky (super) man.

@@mr.objective6936 You are missing Jim Olsen’s hand shake that’s far too low.

Ha. I didn’t try to think of that because I don’t go that way. Excellent observation.

Reece? lol

@@kellymulderino7156 Who's Reece? lol

@@enriquealvarado1812 read your post :)

The actor playing Clark here is named Christopher Reeve. However, it was spelled as "Reece" in the original comment. Either way you spell it, Chris is hands down the best Clark Kent and Kal-El!

Enrique, if you press the 3 vertically stacked dots on your post in the top right corner, you will see edit and delete. Hit edit, then correct “Reece” to Reeve and and voila, no more flack. Cheers.

Clark hasn't been clumsy in a LONG time. People forget that the Reeve movies were based on Silver Age Superman, where "Clark Kent" was just a disguise. The modern interpretation is that Clark Kent is the real man and Superman is just his public superhero persona.

I absolutely loved Christopher Reeve! Not just as Superman but as an Actor and human being! He was a huge loss!! On a side note.... His last name is without the "S".... It's George Reeves who played Superman in the TV series.

Reeve! Reeve! No 's'!!! Thank you. That is all, lol

Yeah but Lois smart-ass always figured it out that he was Superman.

@@williestriggs3989 In the comics she finds out only after Kent tells her.

I agree. I think it's a lot harder for an actor to play Clark Kent than Superman.

It’s like how a lot of actors can’t play Both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Like most actors can do a good Bruce Wayne but a bad Batman or a good Batman but not a good Bruce Wayne.

" it moves him naturally, like it would anyone else" Yes, but he's not superman in real life.

A question: Shouldn't that door had broken after hitting clark?

@@raulbetancourt5795 -- If you watch the sequence closely he moves his body away as soon as the door touches his back. If he didn't move an inch that door is likely shattered.

Agreed. Everyone in the theater chuckled at the layers of meaning in that line. And at the emotional wistfulness Clark Kent probably felt.

**"There is so much punch in that line"**

My art teacher, who also taught acting in school, always raved about Reeves, calling him the best actor of all time. After having watched Superman 1 and 2 this weekend, I know why,

Saw this at the perfect age of 10 when it came out. Loved this line then and love it now. Tell me you are an alien from a dead race without actually telling me you are an alien.

Yeah they were

@Zesanactor Over-5 so out of curiosity I went through the comments and I went through the replies... I started seeing a pattern of you popping up to say man of steel is the best and this is shit, do you either say it to troll or do you actually mean what you say

GodZpeed X7 name one actor who was miscast in this movie.

@White Krispy She's not ugly at all.

I have never seen this movie, only bits in youtube, i guess i will give it a try Edit - graphics are old so i am kinda confused, should i watch it or not

He's using xray vision to see them titties

Big Sexy LOL

I guess jor el didn't teach him sarcasm.

I look at this scene now and see the #metoo moment where Clark Kent "puts Lois in her place" by "accidentally" rubbing her up. ButI still love it. Then he's just staring at her. Kind of creepy, but it works to sell Kent as an obviously very handsome man who is REALLY weird, nerdy, and someone a woman wouldn't like upon first meeting. This is my favorite movie, and I still catch nuances that I wouldn't have caught as a child. This staring moment is brilliant. He lets her know that he's interested by staring at her (a little creepy) right after feeling her up. It automatically makes him less desirable. And, of course, Superman is a total gentleman (even after looking at her pink panties.). I say they're brilliant choices, all around. I even saw the guy in a red shirt try to give Jimmy his tea. I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!!!

@@robynpayne3323 wtf are you on about you weirdo 😂 clark is clumsy! He did not mean to rub off lois ......

@Zesanactor Over-5 yes we are

They're flying together in heaven.

@GodZpeed X7 in your brainless skull, they aren't. I bet you're a trumptard.

@@gargouenzene yea no and no

@Essig What are the high points? smh

I think it's because Clark would want to come out as awkward and insecure, not incompetent. Some people got to see the awesome person under the awkwardness, but most got stuck with the awkwardness and that threw them off. It made him invisible and paid the bills.

he's probably so proficient at it that he didn't realize he was way ahead of everyone else. That and it reminds the audience of who he truly is.

Great insight!

it would only work with Christopher Reeve, that's how good he was as SUPERMAN!

Because he was still learning how to use his superpowers and sometimes he slipped up a little, in this case with the typing

I mean, considering the RNG you get on some bottles, he may really be struggling with it. ;P

@@UltimaKeyMaster Nah hes superman, that was all an act.

Then Lois fell in love. It was only for a second, but it happened.

Yes, it was such a perfect line.

Can you explain this to me.. Why does that make him a boyscout?

Connor Limes He’s still a dutiful son and Kansas Farm boy inside.

@@bookwoman53 Doesnt make him a boy scout. Hes loyal and responsible for his mother, and he takes pride and joy in being so. Hate that term Boy Scout. Overused label

Sweetest thing ever

don't see that anymore, do ya?

That's because only half of him has any use for money. ;)

All men should do that honestly our mother's did so so much for us when we was young(most of them anyways)

iooi Superman does eat...when he's hungry. That's what he tells Lois at her apartment. But he doesn't need medical insurance or a car and he doesn't take any vacations...so I guess that saves a lot of money.

EXACTLY. Loved that.

Or Smallville, for that matter, since he's the only (known) Kryptonian existent at the time.

Nope, he's definitely one of a kind

Well in the second movie we get to meet a trio of kryptonians... sadly they "aren't" like him.

Well don't forget Supergirl the movie with Helen Slater, which is in the same universe and continuity and the City of Argo who are all kryptonians basically

Yes, that says a lot about female nature.

Emperor of the universe

All these years I thought he said, "She sold all her hair".

I ADORE Lois ! Especially Margot's ❤️

@@robertherrick6703 You must've been as dumb as your profile picture to think that's what Reeve said that whole time.

@@mikefit3343 How dare you mock the picture of the mighty Cornelius.

@GodZpeed X7 Amy Adams?

Christopher and Margot, my favorite duo as Clois ❤️

Margot def could've been prettier, look at the lineup they had for all the Lois's before her, they were WAYYYY prettier

Find out next time on dragon ball z !

@@SlickDemi find out never on Dragon ball z

Yeah like most movies today. The obsessive desire to look as cool and as perfect as possible has destroyed any believability in films these days.

Donner's catchphrase that served him so well with this movie: VERISIMILITUDE

Brandon did a good job w/ 3 out of 4 Superman 👍👍🍷

Can you stop being a Jack-ass to people who have a different opinion to you. I like Reeves version of Clark/Superman because it's before comicbook movies went really serious. I like Caviles version because...because...give me a reason besides him pulling off the superman look.

@Zesanactor Over-5 This was made soon after All the President's Men very accurately recreated The Washington Post newsroom and the influence is obvious. Depicting Clark Kent and Lois Lane in a similar environment as Woodward and Bernstein was an efficient way to meld the comics' heroic reporters created in the 1930s with the post-Watergate mythology of the Fourth Estate.

A 20 year old friend of mine used it in an online conversation today....and it totally reminded me of this scene!

@@MovieMouseFarmgirl how swell

Endgame used it too

Also heard in Superman returns

I use it all the time. Was never aware how out of sync it was and I'm 21 lmao.

My favorite duo as Clois ❤️

Rest in peace undertaker

@Stellvia Hoenheim Ehhhhh no not all woman. sir. 🤔😑.

Also, he's an only child either way.

@GodZpeed X7 Sorry Man of Steel sucked and put me to sleep. Also horrible dialogue and they made Superman a freaking madman!

@GodZpeed X7 I am a HUGE Man of Steel fan... Love Henry Cavill as Superman! ... I only saw these Christopher Reeves' Superman clip on youtube within the last week. I've changed my stance since then. Christopher Reeve is SUPERIOR compare to Henry. The movie looks more fun whereas modern one looks BLUE-ish and boring.

@@tonytran07 The problem with Man of steel is mainly Zack Snyder. He even mentions in an interview that after directing watchmen he had “deconstructed” the superhero genre and coming off of that he attempted to do the same with Superman as a character but missed the entire point of Superman as a character. These movies got him down perfectly and aside from some special effects it holds up today imo

2.32. He grabbed her private part.

@Pedro Ivan Sanchez Agree. Christopher Reeve was and always will be the real Superman!

Well I do like Lois & Clark, but I certainly could not bear to watch Man of Steel. It looks horrible.

@@aaronrosby7748 patience.

"aah, not really. No!" He delivers that line brilliantly with a hint of sarcasm & sadness.

JENDALL714

Nobody can duplicate Christopher Reeve's performance. And I suppose they shouldn't even try.

JENDALL714, this movie is 40 years old this year, and is much better that Man of Steel.

You know what there's only a few people left in this world who is actually comfortable using that word: swell.

JENDALL714 It sure is swell! The best!!!

@Zesanactor Over-5 No. Fuck you. This superman movie has the chemistry. Man of Steel is a good movie but absolutely can not reach this one's atmosphere. Clark Kent and Lois, Superman and Lois, both are amazing here. 😊

You are right. 👏🏻 👍🏻🤗

@Zesanactor Over-5 Comparing the "78" Superman to the Henry Cavils version is like comparing Ice cream to horse manure.

@Zesanactor Over-5 It's spelled "Cavill," and you'd think a fanboy would know that *stop, my invincible son*

whilst I loved "Man of Steel" there is truth to your comment. Unfortunately films today are just simply not made in the same way anymore

Leana Jo indeed he was. Many. People say Henry is better looking. I disagree, Christopher was a beautiful man.

Christoper didn't need a padded suit, like Henry. In fact, Christoper was supposed to wear a padded suit, but he rejected it because he thought it wouldn't look right. He went on fitness regime so he could feel out the suit.

I would not discount George Reeves, who brought an aura of gravitas to the Superman portrayal and was in his own way as good a Clark Kent as Christopher Reeve was -- just two different spins on Clark, but both takes are among the best screen portrayals of Clark.

@GodZpeed X7 He did wear a padded suit. Do you think the dude has silver skin? Because the silver accents you see in muscle of the DCEU suits are Muscle Suit. It doesn't matter how thicc you are, spandex would not be form your muscles unless it's padded. Oh and by the way, to this day many people still say Christopher Reeve is still the best Superman, don't use the fuck off slang here because believe me, I'm used to it.

I still love that!

Marc McClure

He also played a Kryptonian named Dax-Ur in Smallville.

He was also the cop in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

😂... Though the reference is lost on those who have only seen the theatrical version

@@yasseryasser1842 yeah 😂

It's the other way around, Superman is the mask.

@@gargouenzene not in this

REEVE

@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Kal el is the true person Clark and Superman are the mask

@Zesanactor Over-5 You're obviously watching the wrong films my friend, Hollywood today is more about the CGI and visual effects, over the heart and story sadly... On rare occasions like Avengers Infinity and Endgame... audiences today are focused more on the action than the story and heart. Sad times we live in but that's the reality of Hollywood and that's what makes money. Henry Cavill's whilst his Superman has the potential to be a good Superman, Zack Synder's Man of Steel lacked in Superman what the film was originally meant to be about... HOPE. Kevin Costner's Jonathan Kent was the type of father that would put his son down on every turn.... Lacked inspiration.... Believability doesn't come into it when you're making a comic book movie, e.g like Superman or Avengers... it's about Suspension of disbelief.. of course you can make elements real, but the comic book factor is always there. The reason Christopher Reeve Superman was and is still greatly loved by fans, isn't just because he had the look to play the character. He played it with heart, HOPE and humanity. Storytelling and the relationship between the characters was as vastly as important as the visuals. Audiences today have far shorter attention spans with big budget effects films, where Hollywood has become more focused on fast pacing action scenes,. Many actors are even replaced on screen nearly completely with CGI.. There is great CGI, but because of the fast pacing industry, there is sadly a lot of poor CGI as well e.g Justice League.... However you're wrong, e.g films like Avatar made it's money because of it's great leaps in new 3D technology at the time, story wise it was ok, but it made it's money based on it's visuals. Smaller Hollywood films have and do make profits, but they don't make the money that big budget Superhero films which rely heavily on visual effects which is what sells over story in most cases.

@GodZpeed X7 hell to the no, reeve is the literal film definition of superman so far, cavil doesnt even come close

That's basically all reboots in a nutshell

@GodZpeed X7 Wrong.

@GodZpeed X7 Wrong again.

I didn't know until I saw your post. So sad.

I hope you realize that you're using the crying laughing emoji...

Christopher Reeves is gone, and so is she-------OLD TIMES I SURE AS ALL CRAP WISH I COULD GO BACK!!!

Great post 😊

I agree with everything you said apart from Henry Cavill's quality. He is a fine actor and more than "just" a model. I found him good in Man of Steel (haven't seen the S vs B). I don't like him more than Christopher Reeve, but he is good. Comparing the older Superman movies with the more recent ones is not so much an issue of the main actor, but society as a whole and the way movies are made which have changed over the years. Now excuse me, I need to order bluray versions of these movies.

@@Trusteft Henry Cavill has been saddled with the fact that every DC movie he's been involved in has been a complete mess. In fact, I liked the casting for Man of Steel. I thought Laurence Fishburne was great as Perry White, I enjoyed Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Amy Adams was okay but inoffensive, and Michael Shannon was entertaining as Zod. It's just a shame that the overall tone and script is completely not suited for Superman. I would love to see a Cavill led Superman movie with competent people at the helm.

They're playing different interpretations of the characters, they aren't meant to be compared. Heck they exist in totally different Earths in the DC Multiverse.

Nailed it 😉

Then look how she jumped back like she suddenly realized he feels unlike a normal human being after rubbing him down for a few seconds.

When I was a kid, I didn't understand either but what I soon realized is that Clark is using an innuendo to masterfully suggest "Why WOULD anyone want to make a total stranger look like a fool?" It's an indirect character judgement hidden behind an innocuous comment. A perfect way for Superman to make people judge THEMSELVES 😉

He's making Lois think he's giving her the benefit of the doubt, but he's really putting her in her place.

@@vivianpowell1732 really a genius way to go about it, if you ask me.

Yes

You never know; there may have been guys like that working there long before Clark was hired.

Faster than a speeding bullet:::wink:::wink:::LOL XD

@flitcher abendan lol

flitcher abendan he’s like I bet she’s tight and wow

Make Superman great again

$40 must have been considered a lot during the 70s probably.

Idem !
