They actually planned to give superman a beating by this moron? Oh man, you begin to appreciate the final nuclear man after seeing this. The moron turned into a vile, brute beast.
The whole idea that we must communicate "important" messages in every tv show and movie, and that those entertainment venues can't simply be entertaining, is one of the most inane, annoying, and good-time "squashing" ideas known to man.
"Sceptics tell us, and have told us for many years, that we are wasting our time pursuing the dream of a world without nuclear weapons, as it can never be realised.

"[The Quest for Peace] is also more contemporary than some of the past films.

telestrike1701, I loved watching Challenge of the Superfriends too, but there are FAR more important things in life than whether my childhood memories have been paid homage to.

Its power to protect is a dangerous fabrication. The threat or use of nuclear weapons provides NO protection against an attack.
It diverts Human and economic resources desperately needed to meet basic Human needs around the world. Globally, approximately $100 billion is spent annually on nuclear forces.
It is vulnerable to cyber attack, sabotage, and technical error, which could result in a nuclear strike.

This is one of those movies that was universally denounced by nearly everyone involved in the production (director, screenwriter, actors, etc.). Looking back I'm surprised that Sidney J. Furie, the director, didn't try to get that "Alan Smithee" pseudonym used.

crmfghtr, Superman II had just as much camp, but the reason why fans give IT a pass is because it's one big fight scene -- and when you're BORED from being SPOILED by generations of white privilege, a fight scene is all you want. Damn adrenaline junkies ...
Superman Returns was a great, but it was a LOVE STORY, so again, adrenaline junkies had a problem with it.
Likewise, The Quest for Peace obligated fans to care about more than a fight scene adrenaline fix, hence all this bitchiness.
@NukeYourHometown the problem was, that every part except the fight scene was crap. Actually that's not completely true. The fight scenes were crap too.

@NukeYourHometown I agree with you that the message was good and an attempt made by Reeve to deliver an important message. However, as with Superman III there was too much camp, a deficient budget, and by this time Lex Luthor is tiresome. Had they made a more solid serious movie with a good budget this could have revived the series. What is really lame is 40 minutes were cut from the film, and much of it involved stuff with Kent back home etc. Why was this footage not included on DVD ?

"Depending on where fallout landed, you would get acute radiation sickness, within days develop alopecia with your hair dropping out, bleeding, severe nausea, diarrhea, severe headaches, and you die within days of acute radiation sickness. If you're not exposed to as high a level as that, but you inhale or ingest radioactive isotopes from the fallout and they concentrate in the food chain by orders of magnitude, the food would be radioactive for hundreds of years."
"Millions of people in the United States were involved in the anti-nuclear movement of the 1980s. They watched The Day After [AND THE QUEST FOR PEACE] with dread. Now the people need to be reawakened to the impending threat of nuclear war, and like the tiny trim tab rudder built into the large rudder of a ship, as it turns and they move, the whole ship of state will turn towards life and not death."

@mannecyberguy I don't think there's an official reason but I'd guess it was just a pacing issue. It's pretty funny in a camp kind of way and might have been right at home on a batman tv show style superman show but goes on a bit too long for a feature film. When I'd imagined this scene years ago I thought it would go a couple minutes tops.
Given what's going on in Japan right now, you snide, bitchy fans ought to be ashamed of yourselves -- turning your noses up at a movie promoting nuclear aboltion while psychotically obsessing over TRIVIAL flaws ...

"Nuclear Man is listed as #1 in Wizard Magazine's "10 Villains We'd Like to Forget" in issue 177, dated July 2006. The text reads: "Ya know what? Clones may just be worse than robots. Especially when they've got lame electric powers, 'evil nails' and only have their powers while exposed to sunlight."
Yeah, because Nuclear Man is one of very few villains that actually beat the crap out of superman.
People are cry babies when they see the ALMIGHTY superman fall to real POWER
@Riddler95 dont think it will ever happen now, not all the deleted scenes were found. shame, although i dont think it wud catually make the movie any better.
"Bizarro appeared in cut footage of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). The scene of the deleted footage featuring Christopher Reeve was included in a 'deleted scenes' section of the 2006 DVD box set, Superman Ultimate Collector's Edition."
@dpurves28 i still refuse 2 believe they were going to use this sorry ass shit! i cant. its like believe that rob zombie's halloween was actually good.
Hey i kinda liked nuclear man and the way he roared, but i find it funny how when he is shot there are no bullet holes on his robe. Guess he put a sample of supermans hair into the robe
Notice @ 3:51 the sound effect of The Genesis Device being activated from "The Wrath Of Khan".
...and holy crap, talk about a movie that you not only don't want to see any Deleted Scenes from, but you wish you could remove the *Regular* Scenes from your memory as well. I certainly hope that Chris Reeves & Gene Hackman were well-paid for making this 10 reel sack of shit in a 5 reel movie.
They actually planned to give superman a beating by this moron? Oh man, you begin to appreciate the final nuclear man after seeing this. The moron turned into a vile, brute beast.

Nuclear deterrence has numerous major problems:
Its power to protect is a dangerous fabrication. The threat or use of nuclear weapons provides NO protection against an attack.
It diverts Human and economic resources desperately needed to meet basic Human needs around the world. Globally, approximately $100 billion is spent annually on nuclear forces.
It is vulnerable to cyber attack, sabotage, and technical error, which could result in a nuclear strike.

@NukeYourHometown I agree with you that the message was good and an attempt made by Reeve to deliver an important message. However, as with Superman III there was too much camp, a deficient budget, and by this time Lex Luthor is tiresome. Had they made a more solid serious movie with a good budget this could have revived the series. What is really lame is 40 minutes were cut from the film, and much of it involved stuff with Kent back home etc. Why was this footage not included on DVD ?

@NukeYourHometown I agree with you that the message was good and an attempt made by Reeve to deliver an important message. However, as with Superman III there was too much camp, a deficient budget, and by this time Lex Luthor is tiresome.

"Depending on where fallout landed, you would get acute radiation sickness, within days develop alopecia with your hair dropping out, bleeding, severe nausea, diarrhea, severe headaches, and you die within days of acute radiation sickness. If you're not exposed to as high a level as that, but you inhale or ingest radioactive isotopes from the fallout and they concentrate in the food chain by orders of magnitude, the food would be radioactive for hundreds of years."

"Millions of people in the United States were involved in the anti-nuclear movement of the 1980s. They watched The Day After [AND THE QUEST FOR PEACE] with dread. Now the people need to be reawakened to the impending threat of nuclear war, and like the tiny trim tab rudder built into the large rudder of a ship, as it turns and they move, the whole ship of state will turn towards life and not death."

"TransformerslNC," David Letterman interviewed Margot Kidder about The Quest for Peace -- therefore, at least TENS OF MILLIONS "knew about this movie" (and that was just ONE talk show appearance; I'm sure Reeve, Hackman and Mark Pillow made others) ...

The truth about "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace" - it's no worse than the other Chris Reeve Superman movies.

@mannecyberguy I don't think there's an official reason but I'd guess it was just a pacing issue. It's pretty funny in a camp kind of way and might have been right at home on a batman tv show style superman show but goes on a bit too long for a feature film. When I'd imagined this scene years ago I thought it would go a couple minutes tops.
