Phantom Ring -- Invisible Fight

Sometimes even what can't be seen is exciting and fun. This clip is from "The Phantom Ring" (Episode #77, 1955). I wish I could have watched as they filmed the fight scene. Well done.

Gotta admit, the invisible fight sequence was pretty good, especially for 1955.

[@christopheryow951]

Gotta say that was some good acting some bloody good acting by those guys probably better than some of the crap that’s on television these days.

[@Victor-gi3dy]

Such ashame about George Reeves & we'll NEVER Really know how he died so young !!!!!!!!! RIP 🙏🏼 🥺🥺🥺

[@josephvitielo1693]

The invisible fight was well choreographed

[@erichanastacio9695]

Maybe Invisible Superman joined Batman's and Catwoman's rooftop fight with the thugs in the movie. One of the thugs fought someone invisible and got knocked backwards. LOL 😂😂😂

[@citizenken7069]

One of my all-time favorite scenes from this show!

[@rickygonzalez4549]

[@jimnolt-TAC]

An excellent way to spend your time. 🙂

[@Flint92]

I remember the same type of scene from Batman in the 1960s with adam west. They eventually just turned the lights off and they were all in darkness and couldn't see each other! Classic!

[@tjamodio5254]

Now you see him..... now you don't..... priceless😅

[@Kermit_T_Frog]

Just make your star invisible and leave things up to the stuntmen and stunt coordinator.

[@danaschappell2779]

That's what the Man of steel is All about !!!!

[@Mxlkies]

Thanks for posting this. The last part of the fight scene is edited from tv 📺 today.

[@SarahOstrin1]

This is great.

[@danielscuiry2847]

I forgot how cool (and funny) it was to see these thugs get beaten and thrown around by something invisible lol

[@MojaveMark]

amazing athleticism

[@bobbysands6923]

Those guys did a great job with the fight. Man, did George look tired in that last bit...

[@jamesb.9155]

Good scene.

[@johnrobinsoniii4028]

It’s like a scene from “The Invisible (Super) Man”!

[@paulproulx7410]

One thing the radar would have seen him even if he was invisible.

[@erichanastacio9695]

He's the Man of Steel! Bullets bounce off him! You still wanna fight him with your bare hands??? You must be crazy!

[@DanWint]

Yep watched it on black & white, when it came out.

[@roberthaworth8991]

Radar detects mass, not a visible form.

[@Downecker]

Superman was being soft on these bums! One tap each and out you go! Too easy! Knock them around a little bit then down for the count ! Old school fighting! I'm 73 and miss rhe 1960's growing up in Newark NJ!!!

[@jameskovic7146]

In my opinion the best work in acting, special effects, especially when invisible Superman breaks off the door latch. How’d they do that anyway. Sy was a freaking genius.

[@user-ou5hz2sp3s]

If Superman flies at Super speed, wouldnt the radar not be able to detect him?

[@jameskovic7146]

Interesting point but usually unless he was flying France to track down those jewel thieves or Germany to figure out that set of devious nazi twins, or flying toward the hurtling asteroid to smash it smithereens, it seems that Superman’s flight speed is more akin to a jet fighter. And you can see this exemplified when they show him flying. He’s not flying like then character in Man of Steel. Superman was slower in the 1950’s. It was only when CGI came along that Superman was able, even though Earths sun affects him enough to have that potential.

[@kevinobrien9271]

Being invisible would not affect radar’s ability to detect him. His body still has mass, and the radar beams would reflect off him back to the receiver.

[@ghost307]

I think this was the only time that Superman called him Jim instead of Jimmy.

[@MrLobo1024]

When Superman had no problem punching normal thugs.

[@SarahOstrin1]

Can you post Superman music cues from the second season? That would be so cool.

[@azurerainbow4637]

Superman was lucky that an airplane didn't head towards him while he was flying while being invisible.

[@williamkane7036]

There are only two decent fight scenes in the whole series . In the Jolly Roger he fights the sailors and in No Holds Barred he fights the wrestlers! Thanks Jim!

[@jimnolt-TAC]

@williamkane7036 ... is this the same Bill Kane I've known for years? It's been a long time since I've heard from you.

[@williamkane7036]

@@jimnolt-TAC Sure is Jim. I'm in a nursing home on Long Island for 3 years now. I'm just now trying to re-establish contact with some old friends.

Peter Brocco was a great actor

[@jimnolt-TAC]

He's buried not too far from where I live. I visited his grave this past summer. Always gave a good performance.

[@Mxlkies]

He was the only actor to appear in a season 1 of both Superman 🦸‍♂️ and Happy Days.

[@Mxlkies]

This is the only episode of Superman 🦸‍♂️ where is character didn't die at the end. His character was shot by police in The Secret Of Superman 🦸‍♂️ and his character fell off a roof in The Clown That 🤡 Cried.
