Reply to comment by flipped_normal in Superman II (1980) is ridiculous by Im_scared_of_my_wife

Thank you! I was curious if this was real. Based on what I’ve seen on the internet I am assuming a kid is dumb enough to do what this one did in the film.

Yeah stuff like that definitely happens unfortunately. I always wondered how they shot it. Turns out it was some clever framing and there's a pretty big ledge and patch of grass right below that portion of the rail about, 10' away from it being a sheer drop. Add in a couple of dodgy optical composites of the kid actually falling and baby you've got a stew going
