god I'd forgotten how much I love this film! Watched it countless times as a kid to the point where my ropey VHS recording virtually wore out!
Jack O'Halloran as Non was a proper cult character among my friends when we were youngabsolutely loved his childlike bewilderment and struggle to master the whole laser eye thing! Fantastic character 🙂
Still struggling to watch this scene where Clark Kent takes a beating after relinquishing his powers thoughhorrible. Thankfully he's hitch-hiking his way to the North Pole to sort it out now though 😉
Top beardiness on Non too!

Mister O'Halloran, Non is one of my favorite movie villains. When I was a kid, I used to have nightmares that I was the guy trapped in the lunar lander while you were holding it down. Don't let that bother you. It's a sign of a good, scary character. Well played.

He probably forgot for a minute that he didn't have his super powers so it was just a natural reaction to the situation, or he just wanted to prove to Lois that he was still strong, even though he was now a mortal human being and not Superman anymore.

Come on!! The only person in a movie who deserved a beating more than Clark was Daniel LaRusso. (The Karate Kid) No matter how big of a jerk the guy is being, the first thing you do when you lose your superpowers is NOT ask a guy twice your size to step outside!!! Clark (literally) doesn5b4't know his own strength and how limited it is. If anything, Clark desperately needed that beating!!!!!
