I had forgot about this one. Lex Luther uses a Dodge Monaco to stop the military convoy. And it was driven by remote control. www.imcdb.org/v167985.html |

^ I can't seem to find a clip of that scene. There's lots of clips around from that original 1978 Superman movie, but I can't find one of the crash. Frustrating because it's a big part of the plot for Lex to steal the missiles, and it looks like a big ol' cannon-roll, it's been so long since I've seen this movie I've forgotten how the stunt actually looks. Did they get 3 rolls out of this Dodge ? We can see it's a 1975 Monaco sedan ...        ----- The Topps trading card company, aside from sports cards, would have trading cards for individual movies and they actually have a card for this crash !

Interesting. Yea, I forgot it was in there until I watched the movie on Hbo max. It shows the full crash, it def rolled 3+ times. Even had a short interior shot of the remote control driving it.
When it happened, I cringed to say the least. Lol

Even had a short interior shot of the remote control driving it. Yes, there's a pic of that as well at the IMCDb ...  CapedWonder.com has quite an extensive amount of behind the scenes pics from the movie.  Here's another shot of the passenger fender damage ...   And this is many years before Anna Nicole Smith came along. Anna was probably a fan of "Eve Teschmacher" played by the wonderful Valerie Perrine !  - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_TeschmacherEve was hiding somewhere I think ? And she ran out and lay down beside the car after the crash. The beautiful decoy, haha what a scene ...  - www.capedwonder.com/superman-the-movie-kryptonite-diversionary-tactics/ * Dang it, someone uploads a 4:49 long clip of the scene but they don't include the crash itself. What the Hell ?  The clip starts with the Army guys pulling up to the still smoking Monaco ... and the smoking hot Eve ! nyuk nyuk nyuk  . She is molested by J.R. Ewing ... |
