Never was a score so perfectly crafted around a film. right? To this day, the opening title sequence for "Superman" fills me with the same magical joy it did over twenty years ago. After all, an adult who clings to the youthful ideals of wonder is simply naive. less likely to accept that which we would rather believe. Experience leads us to see the many injustices this life offers and we become more critical. As with films like "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", WHEN you experience them is just as important as HOW you experience them. A position no doubt dictated by the age we were when first viewing it. Most people my age will refer to "Superman" as THE definitive superhero film. You can love the meat of the movie, or you can love the trimmings. We all have unique reasons for loving a film. While trying to get Luthor's lair Superman goes through machine guns, flame throwers, ice machines with Luthor taunting on loudspeaker.A stranger (played by an uncredited Richard Donner) comments "that'll be the day when a man can fly" Clark grins.

Hypercoasters like Raging Bull are typically loaded with airtime, a sensation that thrill ride fans crave.The current DVD, in addition to containing the 2000 restored director's cut, has 2 deleted scenes (both of Lex' babies, and seen in the TV edits in their original context), and alternate audio scoring for 8 sequences (including an unreleased alternate pop version of Margot Kidder's "Can You Read My Mind"). Oddly, after the satisfying first drop, the ride delivers hardly any airtime, the negative G-forces that propel passengers up from their seats. Known as a “hypercoaster” (which, loosely defined, is a coaster that tops out at between 200 and 300 feet and generally does not include loops or any elements that would turn riders upside down), Raging Bull climbs a 202-foot lift hill, drops down 208 feet at 65 degrees into an underground tunnel, and reaches an attention-grabbing 73 mph top speed.

And a couple top out at speeds that most drivers wouldn’t dare attempt (that is, if their cars were even capable of such tremendous velocity). But some of them rev up to speeds that would get motorists ticketed in most states. Riding the rails on virtually any of the park chain’s rides would elicit screams. Six Flags is synonymous with thrills and roller coasters.
