Superman Returns has the greatest live action Superman rescue scene of all times...the plane scene. To me, this is the zenith. I always get goosebumps and a big smile when I see Chris Reeve Superman rescuing Lois Lane for the first time from the falling helicopter in Superman 78...but Brandon Routh’s Returns scene is the one that really shows audiences...WOW...this is what SUPERMAN was born to do. It’s just a wonderful scene...
The soundtrack, music, visuals...the special-effects still holds up after all these years. Love how despite Superman’s speed and strength, he still struggles due to the plane’s limited structural integrity. It’s like you and I trying to save a fast falling papier-mâché plane, yet we struggle by trying to catch but not damage it. The wings breaking off, the haul turning into an accordion, and so on. Superman had to use all his skills to stop and place the plane on the baseball field very carefully without destroying and hurting the passengers.
Awesome, wonderful scene...
