MAN OF STEEL Cast And Crew On Superman '78

The Man of Steel cast and crew reflect on Donner's Superman '78 film. "I've never seen it, my one, true reference to Superman is the old black and white tv show from the '50s," says Russell Crowe.

"I've seen stills, I've seen photographs," says Russell Crowe of Marlon Brando's Jor-El. "But those photographs led me to really never want to watch what that was [laughs]. The costumes look hokey as shit. I prefer my brand of 'On the Waterfront' Brando," he added. The rest of the cast and crew are more forgiving of the classic Donner film. Watch to see their take.
