Best and most frightening scene in the movie…Ben Affleck’s acting reaction here is realistic… but what also adds to it is the gun looks like a .38 snub nose, small, but in the hands of a little kid, it looks like a big gun… the sight of those bullets in the revolver chamber makes it even more frightening as knowing it is a real loaded gun that can go off anytime.

It's interesting WB put some restrictions on this film's production for example the promotional material (trailers, posters, DVD packaging) couldn't include the 'S' from the iconic Superman suit and no footage from the actual "Adventures of Superman" series could be used. Technically Hollywoodland could've probably gotten away with using material from the public domain "Stamp Day" special but the director and editor may not have realized that loophole.
