6. Some of the Cast Reprised Their Roles
The series The Adventures of Superman was not the first incarnation of the Man of Steel on screen. The year before the show started, there was a movie called Superman and the Mole Men, starring Reeves in the title role, and Phyllis Coates as Lois Lane. The movie was chocked full of the same amazing special effects found in the TV series. It told the tale of a drilling platform in the town of Silsby, the deepest in the world. As it turns out, the drill in Silsby drills so deep, it disturbs the unknown humans living beneath the surface, the mole men. They emerge from the hole, panic ensues, aaand Superman saves the day. The end.
