Superman III (2/10) Movie CLIP - Rescuing Ricky (1983) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Superman (Christopher Reeve) swoops in to save Ricky (Paul Kaethler) at the last second from a harvester combine.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
In a major departure from the tone of the preceding two Superman adventure films, this mix of vile deeds and fantasy heroics drops the "S" out of cosmic and goes for comic instead. Right at the starting gate, Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) and a subsequent slapstick sequence upstage (Christopher Reeves again), who later develops an identity crisis. Gorman, newly trained as a computer whiz, starts working for a conglomerate run by the corporate nemesis Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn), intent on world domination. Gorman is sent to Superman's small town of Smallville to wipe out Columbia's coffee crop by fiddling with the computer side of a weather satellite. Clark Kent is in town for his class reunion, leading Superman to clash with Gorman, which in turn, leads Gorman to develop a hybrid red Kryptonite. Unwittingly, since Gorman's wits are always in doubt, the Red Kryptonite causes Superman to split into a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde schizophrenia -- but in two separate bodies. As the evil Superman swaggers around town, megalomaniac Ross Webster has other tricks in mind -- and in one of the more memorable action scenes (interspersed with a video game sequence), Superman is chased through the Grand Canyon by a fast-flying, very determined missile. Lana Lang (Annette O'Toole) is on hand for romantic interest (Margot Kidder only appears briefly -- she was growing tired of Lois Lane).

I love where Ricky goes “Superman” and Superman goes “ that’s me”

[naveenseth]

I don’t mind other actors who want to play Superman but the thing is Chris Reeve had the look and more critically knew how to play Clark spot on! He is definitely missed - god bless!

[niliradanad]

Christopher Reeve was always the best at his disguise. I loved his portrayal of Superman. 🥰

[anthonyward]

i was 6 years old at the pictures watching this, RIP Christopher Reeve, you was a legend 🙏

[sirsaint]

Mad props to Clark Kent for finding the dog! Really super job there!

[chembleton]

1:08 love the look Supes gives to the driver, "open ya eyes man, what are you thinking?!"

[skynet]

There will never be another superman like Chris Reeve❤

[RobertsonT]

Superman always made me smile saving lives and doing good especially saving children

[reneemartin]

CHRISTOPHER REEVE WAS THE PERFECT SUPERMAN... DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!!!👏👏👏

RIP SUPERMAN!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[JinhuoXiChina]

Man i can be young i and grew up with different supermans as Brandon, Tom and henry but when i see Christopher Reeve i understand why everyone loves him HE IS SUPERMAN ! In every single way possible

[jbgme]

As a Black little boy, he was my first hero. A true example of hope, truth, and justice. Superman, aka Christer Reeves made you believe a man can fly and do some many amazing things. I hope James Gun, will incorporate scenes of great transformation and flying scenes and leaps into sky like Richard Donner did because that are jist some of the things that made Superman amazing in the live action movies!

[rockys]

The thing about Christopher Reeve that every other actor who played Superman simply lacks is the charm and earnestness he possessed.

[shanan]

Without a doubt, the best Superman ever. He delivered the best Clark Kent and Superman. Brought so much life and depth to these characters. Henry Cavill and even Brandon Routh did admirably, but neither hold a candle next to Christopher Reeves Superman.

[tylerlamb]

You gotta love how part of the clark act is him being annoyed at Superman always making his personal life a living hell.

[davidk]

I like how Ricky was 50 miles deep in a wheat field before anyone cared to check on him.

[dancastro]

To think the actress who played Lana in Superman 3 would play Martha Kent years later on Smallville

[dylanmason]

The way Reeve moves his arms and body in the flying scenes makes everything work. So different than the last couple of actors.... They are simply still with their fist closed.

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

0:10 I have literally just noticed the sound wave coming from Clark's ear.

[xxlCortez]

"We were flying, mom!"


"Lucky you didn't float."

[terrycharnley]

I love what Clark says at the end, which isn't included in this clip, If he had a nickel for every time he was asked that ... always makes me chuckle. Miss you still, Chris, always ... I have Superman III on blu ray, great movie.
