A Candid Interview with Mark Pillow ⚡️ Unveiling the Legacy of Nuclear Man - Superman IV Insights

[@Realdealrob]

Got to meet mark and he is this nice and more.

[@comicbookcinema]

He definitely didn’t disappoint 😁👍🏻

[@williamramos-n8h]

I agree he is .. he was my coworker at the bar in Yankee Doodles , Santa Monica Promanade long time ago.

[@comicbookcinema]

@@williamramos-n8h That's pretty awesome! What was it like to work with GREATNESS every day? 😅

[@privateyesman4046]

Oh man! This video has made my day! I remember seeing this in the theater when I was 9. I also wore out my VHS tape watching it everyday(more that the previous films). Like you I was a huge fan of this character. Over the years, I’d go online to look Mark up. I knew he obviously has been off the radar for decades, but I always wanted to know where he’s been or what he was up to. It’s so cool to finally see that him out like this! He looks great and seems very nice and down to earth. I can’t thank you enough for doing this video! I hope to meet him someday.

[@comicbookcinema]

It’s so cool to hear other stories like this! 😁 That’s why I started a KZbin channel. To build a community! I have always loved the Nuclear Man character. I hope this villain is brought back in the new DCU films. And as for Mark. Yes! Super nice guy. Super tall guy as well! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

Special effects aside, in some ways I actually find Superman IV more entertaining than some of the others. That movie definitely did not have pacing issues.

[@comicbookcinema]

This film will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️

[@davidlwilliams81]

Superman IV is my favorite of all the original Reeve movies. I've seen other interviews of Mr. Pillow pop up in the past few years. It is always refreshing and a true joy to hear his story of playing nuclear man. That is one of the nicest human beings around and I would someday hope to meet him too in person.

[@comicbookcinema]

He’s a very nice dude and extremely down to earth. It is so cool to hear from all of these Superman IV fans! Happy to hear your feedback! Thanks for watching! 😁🙏🏻

[@chrisk5204]

Mark seems like a real class act. You did good work with the interview. Wish it could have been longer.

[@comicbookcinema]

Thank you! My goal is to do another interview with him in March. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@beedalton9675]

A remake would be nice,, nuclear man​@@comicbookcinema

[@lauriehammy]

Thanks for asking such awesome questions. My most watched/favorite childhood VHS of all time. Still gives me shivers today. Just go listen to that Nuclear Man Theme too, SO underated that score ! Never understood the critisism of this movie. Great interview thanks heaps !

[@comicbookcinema]

Thanks for watching! 😁🙏🏻 And yes… That Nuclear Man theme is dope

[@YEAR-1-RELICS]

Really friendly guy, nice smile. I loved this movie growing up as well.

[@comicbookcinema]

It’s such a special movie for me. Growing up I probably watched it over 100 times. It’s cool to hear from fellow Superman IV fans! Thanks for watching! 😁🙏🏻

[@Preludedraw]

This was my favorite Reeve's Superman movie and Mark Pillow and his character was my favorite part of it. Always wanted an equal for Superman to go in action. And probably explains why i love Man of Steel so much.

[@comicbookcinema]

Totally agree. It was so cool seeing Superman and Nuclear Man go toe to toe. I’m also a huge fan of Man of Steel and the version of Zod that we got in that film.

[@Preludedraw]

@@comicbookcinema You've made my day, nice to know i'm not alone.

[@MyrcellaShelford]

Hes still very handsome i love mark pillow ❤❤❤

[@comicbookcinema]

A very nice guy. It was a pleasure to meet him 😁

[@digi_edits]

Nuclear Man is such a well made character, I've heard he was inspired by Firestorm but Nuclear Man is in a league of his own with a unique personality, superpowers and lore. Personally, what I love the most are his suit (symbol included), and also his kick ass music theme. Hope to see him portrayed by Mark Pillow's voice in either Injustice 3, a Dc series or movies. Nice inteview!

[@comicbookcinema]

It would be very cool to see the character re-emerge in Injustice 3! I never thought about that! I’m also a big fan of the character and the design of the costume (which after speaking with him, I found out that Mark Pillow had a lot of input in the costume design!

[@adamwoodford8408]

Criminal that The Flash didn't cameo this legend of a man

[@comicbookcinema]

That would’ve been so cool.

[@Pazuzu82]

Luv the nuclear t-shirt!

[@comicbookcinema]

Thank you! I ordered it off of Tee Public. 😎

[@matthewcausey9908]

I feel like that intro is way tighter than it used to be.

[@comicbookcinema]

Thank you, sir! 😁🙏🏻

[@TalkingPopCulture]

Great interview mate.

[@comicbookcinema]

Thanks man! I felt like I talked a little too much, but it was super exciting and a fun opportunity. You gotta come back on soon!

[@halloweenjunkie666]

sad what they did to the movie budget...Mark is a great guy!

[@comicbookcinema]

I agree. This film could have been so much more epic with the originally intended budget that was allocated.

[@philtate7740]

He could walk past me on the street and i never would've recognised him...think id be stilll expecting him to have the mullet...😂

[@comicbookcinema]

That mullet was next level. 😂 Super nice guy. I cannot say enough nice things about Mr. Pillow. He’s a class-act. Totally didn’t have to let a nobody KZbinr like myself interview him, but he went above and beyond. 🙏🏻

[@bolunic]

Great interview ❤ can I order your t-shirt?

[@comicbookcinema]

Thank you! And, I ordered this shirt off of Tee Public, I think? One of those websites where you can put custom designs. Just Google: Nuclear Man T Shirt. 😁👍🏻 Thanks for watching!

[@failureman_999]

Hello dear! I hope you are well.I've seen some things that may be done better on your KZbin channel, such as the low number of views, tags, descriptions, subscribers, and comments. I'd like to discuss how to improve these components for better results.

[@failureman_999]

Are you interested in working KZbin video SEO?

[@GavinScrimgeour]

This video is a totally false - Mark doesn't speak like that - he sounds more like Gene Hackman 😂

[@comicbookcinema]

😂😂😂 He kinda sounded like Gene Hackman? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GavinScrimgeour]

@@comicbookcinema Yes, Gene Hackman voiced Mark's lines in Superman 4. There's still buildings and locations in England where the film was shot.

[@comicbookcinema]

@@GavinScrimgeour That’s cool. Yeah, this movie holds a special place in my heart. I grew up watching this all the time. I always thought Nuclear Man was the coolest looking super villian when I was a kid.

[@GavinScrimgeour]

@@comicbookcinema There's a KZbin video showing all the locations. I remember seeing the film at the cinema and have since watched it. To be honest it was rushed and underfunded. You can see loads of mistakes in the film too 🫣

[@comicbookcinema]

@@GavinScrimgeour Oh yeah… Their budget was cut in half before production began supposedly… This film could have been so much better. I personally still love Mark Pillow’s interpretation of Nuclear Man.
