In the 80s and early 90s when cable TV was taking off and really only like a dozen channels the Reeve movies were played all the time on WGN and TBS. Yes, the first one was '78 but it's not like you had to see it only in 1978 to have that be "your" superman. There's a reason Office Space went with the Superman III stealing half pennies joke because everyone was familiar with it.

The ONLY people on this planet that have an excuse for not hearing or knowing about Superman is the Sentinelese tribe and even then I bet they know about the god-like flying white devil.

House of the Dead for those headlights.

You're welcome.
I saw House of the Dead in the theater. It was my first experience with a Dr. Uwe Boll production. Became a tradition in college to go see his shitty movies with my buddies and laugh out asses off. The good ole days....

I just know that House of the Dead movie we thought was going to be serious, and lo and behold we were in for a surprise. It really became afterwards when they were all video game adaptations, we just would go catch a matinee on a Saturday or something and have fun. I think it's second movie was alone in the dark, but the best one I think we saw was bloodrayne, and you got to see Christina Lockens tits in that one. Hell it even had meatloaf, Billy Zane, and Ben Kingsley!

It was awesome.

His ability to get recognizable actors for those absolute dumpster fires was one of the most amazing things about the Uwe era.

I remember reading an article a long time ago about how the hell he was getting his movies made. He got a lot of his investment money from Germans through some sort of tax write-off program to fund his films, and I guess that's why he was able to keep pumping them out. I guess they would buy the rights for just these old video, bomb at the box office, and people that write it all off.

I'm guessing some of those actors were just hard up for a paycheck, but if I look back at bloodrayne, Billy Zane literally just gives soliloquies on a balcony, meatloaf is and one location, and Kingsley just sits in a throne for most of the movie and maybe has 5 minutes of screen time. I could be wrong it's been a long time since I've seen it but I just remember us commenting about how goofy it was after we saw it and went to go grab some wings for lunch.

Yeah I never saw a single one.

Only a fool learns from his own experiences.

Lies. According to the internet, superman did not play on network TV from 1982 until 1994 due to wb lawsuits (they were trying to form their own channel, which became the wb.) Same story for batman i suppose, idk i owned the batman vhs like everyone from my generation, wore that tape out.

I grew up on tbs (which was broadcast tv, not cable), know for a fact it didn't play on there.

Uwe Boll is the only person I actually went and signed the petition to have himstop making movies. It was over 300,000 signatures at one point. I LOVE cheesy movies, especially horror but 200% fuck Uwe Boll movies.

I wish Superman was real so he could fly to Canada and put out their wildfires since their commie government doesn't believe in forest management so all their smoke hits MN summers for the last 3 years.

MusicForFish MusicForFish let's write a script. And then have Superman destroy the canadian government.

2025: here's a new superman based on 1970s superman of which, we're not going to bother reintroducing the character. Fuck it, we're not even going to show you the whole ass first movie, we're starting this off midway through the 2nd film of his trilogy.

Superman Returns in the early 2000s was a literal sequel to the Reeves/70s Superman. I thought that movie was pretty underrated as far as Superman films go, Brandon Routhe did a pretty good Reeves style Superman

Yes, and the argument is that was a mistake. They should of rebooted with a fresh take rather than releasing a sequel to superman 2 30 years later acting as if the kids born in 1970 were still kids in 2006.

Think I only ever watched superman 1 and thought it was cheesy, I was born in 84 and was a huge marvel kid. Everything animated through the 80's 90s was awesome no matter what your taste was

Kids weren't taking to Superman in 1980s and 1990s not because there wasnt a Superman feature film every 3-5 years but because Marvel and Image Comics was more interesting.

Superman is a boomer superhero with boomer sensibilities.

The kids wanted shit like Wolverine and Spawn.

Yeah, I thought Superman was gay as fuck until "Death of Superman" as a kid. I fucking loved the art and it was the first comic I ever read that had bloodied/dead heroes in it.

I loved Bane breaking Batman for similar reasons. Although, Batman was cool even before that series, unlike Superman.
