I quite like the occasional comic book and don't mind the odd superhero, however I just can't get on with Superman in any form.
With that said it may come as no surprise that I haven't seen this particular film or am I ever likely to so it's a big thanks to blog-follower Tim for pointing out this small scene of interest.
What makes it especially good is that I've a keen eye for a recycled prop and I think I've spotted a
couple here.
The backpack is an absolute definite reuse of the
Outland backpacks, made for that film, as this behind the scenes image will reveal.
The second observation is that the helmet may be the same as featured in
Unidentified Flying Oddball or whichever of its various titles you care to know it by.
It's hard to be certain and its a safe bet that that production had recycled it from somewhere else before but it does have quite a few distinctive features. As ever with these things feel free to correct me if you know better.
