Superman III (1983) - Gus Gorman gets drops off at the coal mine 

One of my best scenes is the take off curve I really love it😅

It's brilliant. When it's done for real on wires it always looks better and here it's perfect, I get that sense of awe of what it would be like to really see Superman

Exactly

But I liked Richard Pryor’s performance so much that he stole the movie…I ended up liking him more than Superman

The bloke on the left played the nutter in Only Fools & Horses. When Del, Rodney & Grandad go to the country to do some poaching.

Yes one of the best take off ever only done by the one and only Christopher Reeve Superman Forever

Truth. The flying in general in this movie was actually some of the best. The process shots and the practical wire work.

Superman III had the best special effects in the series imo and Reeves looked his best in this film. Love it.

Amen

Beats the CGI these days

Real funny, but it was actually tragic if you've heard Lana's story about the Diamond Ring pawnshop incident scenes earlier.

@@usamazahid3882 Wonder how much was that diamond was worth? What happen they lost her ring?

@decepticonleader316 Most likely Gus wouldn't have been interested in a diamond because he refused to have the job at that coal factory as a computer programmer and if he was interested in a diamond, he would have accepted the job offer feeling he can get as many diamonds as he wants.

Same here exactly! 😂 I always saw Pryor as Gus Gorman being 3 years old myself in 1983 when I first saw this. It was my first Superman movie and the scenes were so vivid. The acid. The Atari computer sounds. The sister turning into a robot traumatized me for life. The wheat field. Clark eating dog food on a picnic.😂 Drunk Superman. Clark vs Superman. The oil rig spilling. Skiing on a skyscraper. People drowning in cars in the opening. Clark and Lana HS reunion. There was so much scenery, colorful ness, and unusual ness for this in 1983.

I've always thought that. And there's another thing: when he is on top of the building, re-enacting Superman's escapades, he partial sings the Superman theme tune. lol

@magicjim1 Maybe in the scene after Superman rescued Gus from the collapsed computer area, he might have told Gus that his alter ego is Clark Kent and rips the shirt revealing himself as Superman.

@AmosMantyla Maybe as Superman rescued Gus from the collapsed computer area, he must have told Gus that Clark Kent is his alter ego who rips the shirt open to show he's Superman.

Yes he definitely was!!! Love how he was able to project his comedic nature into this great Superman movie. One of the many highlights of his brilliant performance was when he met Vera "You didn't tell me your mother was going to be here " "Hi Ms. Vulcan " Lol

Do you reckon he is doing an impression of slow Americans

He was also in Superman 1 as a reporter in the scene where Perry White wants the story on Superman

I believe this is it here boi 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZhTJqK7ze_E.html

Yes, it's on RU-vid as Superman III OST: Gus Flying With Superman.

This was an era before cell phones and, for the most part, ATMs. Superman may have been deliberately being a dick dropping him in the middle of West Virginia, so Gus would have probably had to walk there anyway. I'm guessing along the way, he'd be thinking about his Ferrari waiting for him back in Metropolis.

@@williamshaw9047 This is a late comment buy yes, this movie happened before cell phones existed which means if Gus wanted to call a cab, he would have to find a payphone (that is, if he had quarters with him) to call a cab to take him to the bus station. Regarding ATMs, they had MAC machines back in the early 80s where if Gus had a debit card, he could use it to withdraw cash from his account if he had cash in his account to pay for a taxi ride to the bus station but was most likely in debt not having any money since he was fired from Webscoe especially since his boss Ross Webster was arrested and most likely Webscoe went out of business. Also yes, I was surprised and confused as to why Superman made Gus stay in West Virginia since for one thing, it sounded like he and Gus were going to fly back to Metropolis together and maybe Superman (or his alter ego Clark Kent) was going to talk to Perry White to get him a computer job at the "Daily Planet" especially since Gus asked if they arrived in Metropolis from 0:50-0:51 with Superman first saying that he was going to make a quick stop at the coal factory, then when he said that they were going to get going from 1:32-1:33 where Gus said that he will take the bus to Metropolis (probably sounding like he was going to meet Superman at the Metropolis bus station just to prevent from being in the sky again) and without asking, he (Superman) put words in Gus's mouth for Gus to get a computer job in the coal factory and even though Gus acted like he was interested, he really wasn't by just waiting for Superman to fly away since he told that coal factory employee that he's not interested but is more interested in catching the bus back to Metropolis. (I was hoping Gus was seen on the fourth film as an IT person at the "Daily Planet.")

That line wasn't actually in the script, it was improvised and they loved it and left it in

@@dbanksey216 I didn't know that.

@trailtherapyman Maybe as Superman rescued Gus from the collapsed computer area, he must have told Gus that Clark Kent is his alter ego who rips the shirt open to show he's Superman.

Superman as a reference for a job is a hell of a reference. Honestly, what employer (except for Lex Luthor, prior to being exposed as a criminal) could say "no" to an applicant who was referred by the Man Of Steel himself?

Point about Gus is he really doesn't want to work anywhere hahaha , it's the funny thing

@@adrianacosta807 That might be true because I remember in the first scene of the movie, it showed Gus at the bank where the bank clerk found out that he wasn't keeping a job where he applies for a job and then drops out constantly where the bank clerk found out that he is no longer eligible to get a job (he probably was never able to find his niche in life) but, looked on a cigarette matchbox how you can earn a lot of money for working on computers which made him find his niche. However, it's unknown whether he really wanted to have a job in life or not since he sounded interested in the computer job at the coal factory at 1:50 where it's unknown if he was just pretending to act interested to Superman (he probably was waiting for Superman to fly away) or if he just changed his mind from 2:17-2:20. However, when he said he was going to hop on the bus to Metropolis, it's unknown where he was going to go from there and what he would do by maybe forgetting a computer job by searching for another non computer job (even though the bank clerk said he is no longer eligible to get a job). However, I'm sure he's not old enough to retire since he told one of his coworkers at "Webscoe" that he's still young under age 65.

It's obviously Supermans reference lol

@@Leon-zu1wp Yes, that could be true but, while Superman has been very popular on Earth, those coal factory workers don't know Superman (they only knew his name because Gus called him "Sup" the moment they landed assuming he was Superman after hearing news reports about someone named Superman) and probably don't know too much about him for him to give Gus a reference to have a job at that coal factory because Gus asked them if they have seen Superman before and one of them said "no" all from 2:34-2:38. Perhaps another reason the factory workers don't know Superman with him being from Metropolis while they're all in Smallville. So for these reasons, it was just surprising they all of a sudden decided to take Superman's reference not knowing him or have never seen him.
