Gene Hackman on David Brenner's talk show, Nightlife -Part 2

Gene talks about his early days as an actor with friends Dustin Hoffman and Bob Duval, acting on Live TV, Superman IV and living dangerously.

Yeah, I don't think he wanted to say it. Superman I and II were great. He was being polite.

Love “the conversation”

French Connection, Die Konversation, Staatsfeind Nr 1 , sind meine Top Favoriten, Hackman ist Brilliant und Intelligent... steht gut neben Clint Eastwood und Robert Duvall, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, Dencel Washington, Christopher Walz, K. Costner (Open Range mit R.Duvall) Super Charakterschauspieler. Spitze !!!

SUPERMAN IV was perfectly acceptable entertainment, in my book. Yes, the Cannon company ran out of dough during shooting so some scenes were done on the cheap, but overall the movie is okay: Clark avoiding Lacy's advances, the gym scene, Luthor and his dimwit nephew, more. Yes, this movie is not the equal of the Donner-directed ones, but it still works. One other reason is that Hackman puts in yet another strong performance. He's the goods!

French connection 2 was a giant stinking turd.

One of the few times I've heard Gene talk about being in the Superman films.

Superman IV was a pile of SHIT!
