thedriver 6179 Report post Posted January 7, 2012 Castle I love your take on the Superhero Cape! I have to agree with you that it does not have to be a cape per say to give off that Superhero vibe. The Green Hornet: Clint Eastwood in Pale Rider: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1aA3ziqNrQ&feature=related A few more that wore a cape. The Shadow: From when I was a kid, Shazam with Captain Marval: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPFu-niSMac This should also be in the "You know you're old when..." And let's not forget about the cape substitutes Often in movies....if the director or whoever wants the heroic figure to give off a subtle "Cape" impression without actually wearing a cape other articles of clothing will be used as a substitute. Usually trench coats A couple of my favorite examples Tombstone - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWGp7A3j6FQ The Crow - And a little less subtle, the rain coat belonging to David Dunn (Bruce Willis) in Unbreakable also doubles as a superhero costume/cape of sorts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15AdI5Lv23M&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDM9Et99lUA (this is actually one of my all time favorite movies.....the tension just draws you in so perfectly....and every performance in this movie is spot on....the music is excellent....it's just one of those movies where everything works) And let's not forget the Man With No Name's poncho, which also pulls double duty as a cape of sorts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
