Young Superman is similar to Armie Hammer

[tylerlarowe]

Actors nowadays should be thankful. Now we have CGI, but back then actors had to actually train to run this fast. Simply remarkable.

[mistertwister]

When Baby Superman hugged Ma Kent’s neck, he could have easily broken it. He learned self control immediately

[papillonvu]

1:09 This scene, where Clark’s parents learn of his powers for the first time, with the Superman theme rising in the background.
Chills the first time I watched it… chills even now!

[nealwhaley]

Considering Lois’ luck with transportation vehicles, it’s a miracle the train stayed on the track.

[wcky]

After he kicked the football and the train showed up, I half expected the football to smack the train. 3:16

[emperor]

No one's talking about how fast the camera man was.
Following Clark at such speeds.

[sophiegolden]

RIP Christopher Reeve, you were my only superman and still

[D_J_P]

I remember when I was a teenager, and they were filming these school and train scenes in my hometown. I went to that school for 7 years. And that road he runs down to his home at the end, well, a few miles on, is the farm I grew up on.
It was a big deal for our small town to see Hollywood move in that summer. Fond memories

[liveinbingmaintenance]

I'm 50 years old and this scene is still stuck in my childhood memory. Great memories we all wanted to be Superman.

[DaFuqBoom]

Why this movie looks like it was made in late 2000s, but parodying 1970s?

[satireisnotdead]

Love how Jonathan isn't totally stunned by the fact that a toddler can lift a truck by himself, instead he chucks the rag on the ground like "Well I'll be." 70s acting man, gotta love it. Also there is no way that no-one else on that train apart from Lois saw Clark running alongside them.

[mewe]

The child superman lifted the truck with the mild superman music on the backround is just feels so right..

[ak_]

If Clark missed that jump by less than half a second he would’ve murdered everyone on that train

[Chad-ejue]

Fun story. They actually had to find a train fast enough to keep up with the actor.

[cisco]

The first movie I watched in a theater with my mom and my little brother, truly an all time favorite.

[ethandavidson]

Fun fact: they had to find a cameraman who could run as fast as the train too, not just the actor

[marcellou]

Fun Fact: they had to find an actor that could run faster than a train to be able to record this scene!

[KayzeChannel]

Yess, this era. Look at the all landscapes. I really can feels the fresh air. So clean, peaceful, and beautiful.

[sethglazier]

I love the cinematography here. The way they film the train thundering down the tracks really conveys its speed and power. That Clark is playing games with such a thing subconsciously communicates that Clark is that much mightier, while also emphasizing his lighthearted nature. Fantastic example of “show don’t tell”.
