1950's Superman vs the Flying Saucers

[@ToonGal12]

You did an amazing job editing this all together! I'm sure if something like this aired back in the 50s, kids would've lost their minds. This would've been the television event of the year!

[@tvcrazyman]

Thank you very much!

[@stewarta5993]

brilliant. bravo

[@robertc8110]

Perfect!

[@StephenBazile]

Awesome wished they would have done that back then

[@mickeyray3793]

With all his smarts, Superman NEVER learned to enter a house through the front door. He just ALWAYS had to come crashing through a wall. 😮😮

[@steverogers2635]

Very cool! I still get a good feeling every time I see George Reeves as Superman. Those were the days!

[@klowen7778]

Yep, "Thank you again... and GoodBYE!"

[@bentonmarcum8924]

I think of him every birthday. I was born the day he died.

[@SteveSmith-qr6mb]

Classic. Only one season was in color. But back then black / white was the norm

[@ivane5110]

LOVED this mashup. I loved George Reeves Superman and could never get enough of it in reruns. He was MY Superman until Chris Reeve came along years later (and even then they both shared the honor, with George just becoming Earth-Two's Kal-L in my nerdy noggin). We always wanted something epic like this (I'd even pictured him vs saucers, but just one--Brainiac's) but this looked even cooler. Thanks for giving us one more trip into the Reeves-verse and an awesome one at that.

[@tvcrazyman]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Maybe, some day we'll get a major motion picture with a retro style Superman fighting space ships in the 40's or 50's. George Reeves and Christopher Reeve were the ones I grew up watching.

[@NoName-zm1ks]

Nah, Chris gave us the bumbling, awkward Clark, so unlike the original material.

[@randolfocarlos1]

MUITO SHOW

[@johnsaia9739]

This would have been so cool if they did make a movie like this in the 1950s.....EXCELLENT mash up! Thanks!

[@markfergerson2145]

Pretty close was “Superman vs the Mole Men”. Look it up.

[@alfredstimoli2590]

Be great if they made one now, today. Full on flying saucer alien invasion vs Superman.

[@favoritemustard3542]

We don't want "pretty close" - look it up.

[@IrvONeil-fn6cp]

A lot of fun! Really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for your hard work and creativity! George Reeves's Superman and Ray Harryhausen's saucers, a perfect duel!!

[@tvcrazyman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DavidCastro-fr9sl]

ditto!

[@IrvONeil-fn6cp]

​@DavidCastro-fr9sl just watched it again after seeing your comment. Thanks, this video really is total fun! To me, George Reeves is the #1 Man of Steel/Clark Kent! The Harrysaucers met their match!! 😅

[@tvcrazyman]

Hope you all get a kick out of this Superman and Earth vs Flying Saucers mix. It was just something that hit me last night. I thought to myself wouldn't this have made a neat movie or a cool Superman episode.

[@Papa-fv1rn]

Very well done. 👍

[@peggyfillmore1971]

That was actually pretty good , I've seen alot of the old super hero TV and movies, before I saw your comment , I was sitting here thinking I don't remember this superman movie .🤔😁

[@retrobilly1719]

Awesome Would of been aSmash if that hit Theaters Then!

[@benyaakov6453]

This would have been cool what I still don't get & never will is why Lex Luthor never appeared on tis show it wasn't like they couldn't have had an actor play him instead having Herb Vigran or some other actor playing generic gangsters all the time!! Herb Vigran instead of being Legs Leamy in one episode or Georgie Gleak in another episode could have been Luthor in different episodes

[@DarrylRuiz-s1w]

Great job featuring my childhood hero George Reeves as Superman and one of the best Flying Saucers movie of all time

[@PeBoVision]

What an excellent Mash-Up!! Earth vs Flying Saucers was one of my childhood favourites (along with every other movie containing Ray Harryhausen effects) and The Adventures of Superman my favourite TV show of the time. It was like acid-trip version of nostalgia.

[@Warped9]

Man, I would LOVED to have seen this storyline back in the day! Hell, it was cool now!

[@danjohnston9037]

I'm so glad I happened upon this by chance! Now that I've subscribed and shared the news of my good fortune I can make some popcorn to watch more.

[@tvcrazyman]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a lot of fun to make!

[@freeedward8]

Watched Superman on TV when I was a kid, and when I saw the ad for EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCER in our town newspaper, I begged my parents to see it-- and I was wasn't disappointed and was a big fan of Ray Harryhausen. Bought Mad comics, then the magazine, and Famous Monsters of Filmland every month. Wonderful memories. Nice to see your mix of these two "films" (though avoid mixing night clips with day clips!- I know it's not easy). Thanks much!

[@tvcrazyman]

Thanks.

[@vince5546]

Very creative ! Good job. I bet it was fun brainstorming and editing the story.

[@tvcrazyman]

I definitely had fun! Thanks! 😀

[@tonysantiago255]

The Great Ray Harryhausen usually did just the stop-motion animation for his films and the related design work. Except in Earth vs. the Flying Saucers where also wore the hat of Production Designer. So EVERYTHING you see visually is Ray Harryhausen. Except the actors. They just had to hit their marks and look in the right direction. All of us who grew up with George Reeves' Superman will have an affectionate place for him in our hearts. The pilot episode with the Mole Men scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid. Seriously creepy little dudes.

[@redmondphelanjr968]

Also, let's not forget The Invaders,Quinn Martin's Sc-Fi music contribution to this video( plus intro of Invader's ship on earth approach..great 1967 series!!)

[@technicaltaurus1]

Good job. The special effects were done by Ray Harryhausen. During the production of Earth vs the Flying Saucers the director went to the studio head to complain about this short bald man interruption of his work and wanted him fired! The studio head informed him that that bald man (Ray) did special effects work that no one on the planet could do, and if he refused to work with Ray, he could get another director! This was a Ray Harryhausen picture! Check the credits!

[@tvcrazyman]

Cool. You could definitely tell from the Earth vs Flying Saucers movie the effects were better than a lot of other sci-fi movies from back then.

[@KutWrite]

Awww... That touched my heart. I saw the film when it came out, and watched Superman religiously. Good job mashing 'em up!

[@colinduff2922]

Great video. You managed to combine my fave TV series with the best sci fi movie of the 1950s. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Sydney, Australia.

[@tvcrazyman]

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun project!

[@larrycj4382]

WOW & thank you!! I had watched the Superman shows as reruns in the 1960s. If I had actually seen your episode back then - WOW I would have been so excited that I would not have been able to sleep! Thanks again!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Brilliant! My mates and self(country yokels of Essex, England) used to watch Superman in the 50s and had a laugh knowing it was daft. But at the same time, liking it. George Reeves was the best Superman and the best American sci-fi superhero of all time.

[@georgesenda1952]

For me there is only ONE Superman and his name is, was & will always be George Reeves. I love this. I am a huge George Reeves fan ever since I watched the original episodes when I was a child in the late 1950s. With a nod to Bud Collyer, Kirk Alyn, the immortal Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain & the Superman from Superman & Lois. Subscribed.

The SFX in "Earth Verses The Flying Saucers" was done by. Ray Harryhausen. He also did the SFX for "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad" and "It Came From Beneath the Sea" and "20 Million Miles to Earth" and many others before, during and after the 1950s.

[@NS-ks5qc]

He also did Jason and The Argonauts, Clash of The Titans (81) version and the Valley of The Gwangi all are masterpieces.

[@pandarush.]

Excellent!!! More, more please!!!!!!

[@tvcrazyman]

Thank you very much!

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

Superman managed to crash every saucer into every important building in Washington so after the parade he was off to work some overtime at The Planet to help pay for all the damage he caused. Oh and it's amazing that Clark jumps out of a fast moving car then Superman appears and Lois STILL didn't know Clark was Superman. And you're right, Earth vs the flying saucers is a great fun movie to watch. I give it 4 buckets of popcorn out of five.

[@r1cam]

This is a perfect example of heartfelt good entertainment made by true fans. Way to go, sir! 👏

It sure did make a good movie again love how they did the special effects in those days 😀

[@tvcrazyman]

Yeah, they were so creative back then. It's amazing how movie effects varied in quality from film to film back then as well. Now, it's all down to CGI for the most part. I definitely like to see practical effects better than only CGI.

Totally agree bud 😀
