Smile and Duck!
George Reeves developed some interesting mannerisms that really became a part of the Superman character. For instance, in the first season, whenever Superman is pursued by a bad guy and shot at without success, Superman smiles in return. Another instance is that George developed the habit of ducking whenever a bad guy threw a gun at him (which happened whenever a bad guy ran out of bullets for some reason). Many people think this was done because George didn’t want to be hit by the kind of heavy prop gun, but it was actually done by George’s stunt double Dale Van Sickle.
