The six million dollar man's use of slow motion when things (and people) were supposed to be very fast was a touch of genius and surprisingly convincing.

Yes. The producers found that the bionic actions looked ridiculous when filmed at normal speed. The slow motion + bionic sound effect worked really well.

Lynda Carter was a gymnast and ballet dancer, she started off doing her own stunts but they had to keep covering her cuts and bruises up with make up so ended up getting a stunt double. And the lens flare effect was done by accident from the second series onwards, the first series had her spinning in slow motion which was originally her idea with being a ballet dancer and they didn’t know how to get her to change into Wonder Woman for TV

[@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc]

Lynda Carter will always be known as Wonder Woman.

[@dragoncat7362]

In the late 1970s there were so few stuntwomen that in WW season 1, Lynda Carter’s stunt double was a man. Then in the season 2 episode Anschluss 77, Carter insisted on doing a dangerous hanging-from-helicopter stunt herself when there was no way to disguise the double. And she did it without safety equipment. Afterward the studio was furious and got her a woman stunt double, Jeannie Epper. I believe Epper even visited her son’s school in costume once, after his classmates didn’t believe she was Wonder Woman’s stunt double.

[@niradnagrom2356]

My mom was such a fan of George Reeves' Superman and all my life, I'm 53 now, I thought he was the first actor to play Superman. I never knew there was someone before him. Of course for me Christopher Reeve is Superman. His interpretation of and portrayal of Clark and Superman is, in my opinion, the best performances of Superman. He gave everything he had to the characters. As a kid and to this day I still enjoy seeing his movies. I actually caught Superman 3 recently and I noticed something for the first time. He's much bigger in that one than in the first two! Henry Cavill is great too because he's a great actor. He's so much more than Superman.

[@tvcrazyman]

When I was a kid I taped the Christopher Reeve movies and watched them over and over again. I always enjoyed watching Reeves and Reeve both. It was like new Superman and classic Superman.

As a kid, I loved every minute of it. It all seemed so magical. It was the golden age of TV and an amazing time to grow up. I am so grateful that I lived during this era.

[@John-ct9zs]

The best TV special effect from the 1970s and 80s (that I found out from this video was pioneered in the '40s) was having the stunt person leap off a building backwards onto an air mattress cushion and then reverse the film to make it look like they were leaping upwards. I could never figure this one out growing up, because one it looked pretty cool and convincing and two, they would often do these tricks outdoors and I wondered where the wires were I couldn't see. They would also do a variation of this trick by having a stunt guy holding a car or truck and the vehicle drives backwards, then they reverse the film to make it look like the superhero person was stopping a speeding car. Very clever way of getting around a TV budget and the special effects technology of the time.

[@dragoncat7362]

Fun fact: Run-the-film-backward was why on The Bionic Woman, sometimes Jaime Sommers’ hair was done up in a bun. 🙂

[@brianmuirhead5727]

[@SpideyScott72]

Im a fan that likes to know "how its done" so I enjoyed your video very much. To me, knowing how doesnt take away from the magic, they still had to figure out how which gives me an appreciation for them even more.

My most favorite was The Incredible Hulk. I started to watch it because of Bill Bixby. Never heard of the hulk before then. Sometimes when The Hulk would throw people I saw for a second a spring board at the bottom of the screen pop up. Also the green slippers when He was in New York City he was wearing them. I did notice the tiny misframing sometimes that wasnt supposed to be in the shot but it was my favorite show and at the end of the week on Friday nights at 8 PM on Channel 2 Here in New York it was my escape from reality and a nice start of the weekend from School. (I never liked school to begin with.)

[@garyclarke9685]

How good though was the metamorphosis. It was intense & scary with those eyes & the chilling music It's a joke now when you see the hulk change. Still the best hulk as far as I'm concerned because mainly because a real actor was used.

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

The Kirk Allyn Superman train effect was achieved through the processed screen system, which they also used in the 60's Batman TV series when Batman and Robin are "running".

[@TonyPearl]

As a kid growing up in the 70's, I loved all these shows, and didn't really think too much about the special effects (especially Wonder Woman, because any red-blooded American boy was checking HER out, and it didn't matter how old you were!). But now that I'm older, seeing how they made these effects is very amusing. Great job on this video - especially the bloopers at the end! :)

1) Those brief color shots of "The Adventures of Superman" were not colorized decades later - the last two seasons were filmed in color even though the series was broadcast in black-and-white; 2) The scene where Wonder Woman bends a rifle with her bare hands is quite believable, even though the rifle was rubber, because actress Linda Carter ACTED like she was warping solid steel.

[@KaptainCanuck]

It was not broadcast in B&W because the film was in colour. Only the very rare TVs that had colour would see it. Bonanza was one of the first to film in colour from day one (1959).

Thanks for this! It was fun to see these great old shows. You don't look old enough to remember them, but I'm glad their appeal is not lost on younger people.

Perhaps with the help of your channel we can recover this faith and innocence. Thanks.

[@russellberta4986]

I think what most people don't realize ( Especially the new Generation ) You could get away with a lot of these tricks. When I grew up watching the Greatest American Hero, Hulk, Wonder Woman, etc..... I was watching on a tube TV There was no 4 K high definition TV. You couldn't notice that stuff if your tried. Today all this stuff has to be perfect. Miss those great shows!!

[@sandyk067]

Besides that we watched them once a week so not likely to catch these "flaws" since we didn't have dvds back then. I think there is a certain charm in the way things were done and I wouldn't change them if I could.

[@John-ct9zs]

Yes and no to that. I was 5 years old when The Greatest American Hero came out in 1981 and it all looked real to me. By the time I was watching the show in syndication reruns in the mid 80s at ages 9 or 10, or the later 80s as a middle school kid.....yeah a lot of the flying effects looked really cheap and stupid, especially when you compared it to the Christopher Reeve/Richard Donner Superman films. But even as a kid I knew Hero was a TV show and the Reeve/Donner movies had a big screen movie budget.

[@davidlafleche1142]

@@John-ct9zs Everyone in Hollywood anticipated that show and kept asking Stephen J. Cannell, "Is he gonna fly?" They knew that the fx in "Superman" cost a million bucks just for the first flying scene; so how did they do it on TV, when the GAH pilot cost $1.5 million for the entire episode? The first scene they filmed was when Ralph flew for the first time and crashed into a wall. They played it back for the executives at ABC, with no music or sound effects. They cheered so loud they screamed!

[@nicksorenson940]

One thing I do appreciate about DCEU Wonder Woman is that the Lasso of Truth now has a golden glow so you can definitely tell that it's magical. I also think most of the speed effects in the 1990s Flash series still hold up really well for the time the series was made even without any of today's CGI, just by speeding up the filmed footage of John Wesley Shipp.

[@davidlafleche1142]

His costume cost $25,000.00 to make.

[@CaptainMarvel1939]

Yes, I loved that little nuance to DCEU’s Wonder Woman since in comics, the lasso had lines coming from it on her waist indicating glowing. Now they have to get the jet right-from outside, it’s invisible, but inside you can see everything-no invisible controls( like super friends), no seeing people floating through the air from outside( like the tv show)

[@marjunmarcelocristobal2678]

Nice !! It's so fun to relive those Classic TV moments.

[@daler.steffy1047]

Just a couple of quick observations: ~ When Superman is holding a piece of the train rail in place in order for the passenger train to cross safely over that broken section, when I was looking underneath the cars and beyond to background scenery, I saw these familiar jagged rocky outcroppings in the distance. I believe that is a section of the Santa Susana Mountains above Chatsworth, in the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles area). There is a busy rail line that goes through those mountains, including about a mile long tunnel, which I walked through as a teen sometime in the 1960s, and it's pretty exciting! ~ I remember seeing a video about Superman, I think it was, where bullets were bouncing off his chest and creating a small streaks of sparks, or something similar in appearance; and the narrator described that, in the editing department, they would carefully put "scratches" on that part of the film to create this effect. ~ You also talked about the lack of a dashboard in one of the car scenes. What I also noticed was the lack of a windshield and rear view mirror. ~ Lastly, the cars that were rotating on a platform, one over another, looked like the kind of automobile models that the Danbury Mint makes. They create authentic-looking replicas that include very fine and exacting details along with many moving parts.

I think when I was a kid I just figured that was considered mild mannered for the 1950s. It makes you wonder, but then I'm not sure the show would have worked with Reeves acting too mild mannered, especially in the first couple of seasons when the show was more gritty.
