Did You Know?
Trivia | One of Christopher Reeve's hobbies was flying. At the time the movie was made and released, Reeve flew his own six-passenger twin engine Beechcraft plane. Reeve was a qualified pilot with around 2,000 hours flying experience and had commercial, instrument, and multi-engine ratings. Reeve once said: "I thought it would be fun to mix acting and airplanes. Flying is something that comes naturally to me; it certainly helped me with Superman." See more » |
Goofs | The Boeing Stearman plane used in the film had his maiden flight in 1936. It can't have flown in the early 1920s. See more » |
