LOL x10000000000000000! What the Hell? The movies got worse as the years went on. Thank God Christopher Reeve turned down making an appearance in that crap Superwoman, which was also a pile of shit
Press '3' repeatedly to see super-boy. Most of this movie looks like a Benny Hill sketch. Even the bald old man from Benny Hill appears at the beginning.
The original script had Soope flying down to collar a bald dude from behind whom he thinks is Lex Luther. Just as he is about to grab him, Telly Savalas turns around says 'Who Loves Ya Baby?!' and hands him a lollipop!
That scene was as awful as the movie. I and II were great fo the time, but the rest were horrible. I often wonder what Reeve could have done with a real script.
WHat amazed me about this scene was the fact that the voice of the British woman was dubbed over with the voice of an actress with an american accent that didn't even fit the scene. It was a whole mess.
@pberrylas Maybe he was talking to Jimmy Olson (Jimmy Olson is the only person in that area he knew) or some stranger since if you see at 0:25, before Superman flew up in the air, you will see a guy wearing a yellow shirt so maybe he was talking to that guy. I remember a scene before this scene, he saved a guy who was in his car where his car got filled up by water, so maybe that was the guy Superman was talking too, and after he saved the kid, he probably went back to talk to that guy.
A lot of people say that Superman IV was the worst film, but in my opinion Superman III was alot worse. I mean, who is going to be interested in some man trying to get oil
@dbreiden83080 lol everything ABOUT the Superman films was wrong...except for Clark...that was dead-on! I suppose even with the corny parts they still are funny
nonthing against Richard Pryor, but he never should have been in this. His presence overshadowed Superman's. That's like Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle being in he next Superman or Spider-man movie.
@msmithstud You're right, but that's not Pryor's fault. They tried to go in a new direction in S3 for various reasons. Gene Hackman and Margot Kidder were pissed at the Salkinds, which lead them to go with the Robert Vaughn as a new lead villain, and Annette O' Toole as the love interest. The Salkinds denied this, but when you look at the fact that Margot and Gene were back in Superman IV, well...draw your own conclusions.
@TheKingOfRuckus i know Margot has said in interviews that it was her out spoken opinion of Donner being let go which led to her being practically written out of III. I enjoy III, particularly the ''darker'' superman concept. A double for Hackman was used in some of the FOS scenes for II. In the Lester cut, when the villains first fly into the FOS, when Ursa drops Luther off her back, that's a double. Hackman's portrayal of Luther was pretty hillarious at times. His comedy worked, pryor's didn't
Ya and all I got for playing this part were a lousy lollypop and a juice box that I blew into and spilled all over the trailer, before my mother smacked me in the back of the head. It was filmed in the winter downtown Calgary, and superman missed the tree like five times…
I remember watching this film on VHS in about 1987 or something at home, and this bit was in it. I could never find it on the DVD I later bought. At least I know now that I didn't imagine it! But I would agree with most people- Superman III was a huge mistake, though I quite liked the fight in the scrapyard!
If you thought a baby flying through the air and somersaulting perfectly onto the branch of tree (weeeee!!!) without being splattered was idiotic, Reeve described a thankfully never filmed scene that was in the original draft of the first movie...Lex Luthor has escaped into the crowded streets of Metropolis, Superman is hunting him, he sees a bald guy from behind, swoops down to catch him...then the audience hears 'Who Loves Ya Baby?!' and Telly Savalas turns around and hands him a lolipop!
@TomthatiscalledTom Yes, those early versions of the script had some incredibly stupid content. Can you believe that it also originally included a fat, clumsy "comedy relief" Luthor henchman called Otis that..... oh shit.
These types of scenes are what ruined Superman. From the horrible dubbing to the strange Metropolis actors, these shots were always campy and not well thought out. Case in point, in Superman 2 you had all of the stupid people in Metropolis watching Superman fight Zodd. The citizens talk like idiots and there was too much humor injected (toupees flying off and the guy blowing backwards on skates, just to name a few).
@MasterJediDude thank Richard Lester for all that. Those kind of corny gags were originally written for 1 , but Donner and creative consultant Tom Manciewicz threw them out of the script.
- Yeah. They originally had a scene in the 1st movie w / Superman is tracking Luthor, then he swoops down on him & it's Kojak, who offers him a lollipop. I'm surprised they didn't have that in this crap - fest. It was meant as a Richard Pryor comedy piece w / Superman just happening to appear in it.
AMC is the first and only channel to show this movie. I haven't seen this movie on tv in almost 20 years. NO JOKE. For a while in the late 80's and 90 you could catch the extended cut on TBS from time to time. I was hoping AMC would have included all the deleted scenes but they are only showing the theaterical cut. I haven't seen this movie on HBO, SHOWTIME OR CINEMAX in almost 25 years. The forgotten Superman movie.
After reading comments like, "I'm glad they took that scene out," or "that was stupid," I can understand why there is so much crap art in the world. Some people just aren't creative enough to recognize how cool it was that Superman was turned into a Richard Pryor movie. Lester was a cultural agitator. He knew what he was doing. However, most Americans are too dumb to appreciate shit like that.
this movie has not aired on tv in so many years. The only Superman movies I see are 1, 2, and Returns. This movie finally aired on AMC over the weekend and i was hoping it would have had the extended footage but it didn't.
Get a good story together, and do it right for once. Superman deserves at least as much dedication and effort as has been given to movies like Dark Knight or Iron Man. He is an icon in every sense of the word, and should have a movie (or series of movies) that are worthy of the character.
Why can't we just delete Superman 3, Superman 4, and Superman Returns, and start from scratch with--oh, I don't know--a GOOD SCRIPT?!? Take out the whole cast and director of Returns, and replace with Tom Welling and Erica Durance from Smallville (they're 10 times better than Brandon Routh and Kate "Blue Crush" Bosworth).
Hahahaha Superman never has a minute alone, he was thinking 'Ahhhh f*** another one' and i reckon he rushed off so quick was because he was dying for a piss and probably takes 15minutes to get his kit off LOLLLLLLL
Richard Lester had a real weird vision for Superman. He should have stuck with sticking to the source material instead of all the visual gags. That's why Donner knew how to make a good Superman film.
how is that a deleted scene ??? that scene was allways in the original. i got it on tape since the mid eighties and saw this at the cinama plus several tv re-runs. allways in. maybe not in the later dvd and blueray releases but certainly allways in before that
......even worse scenes were planned in the original script. Christopher Reeve mentions this in his autobiography, Still Me...there was going to be a scene where Superman, on the hunt for a wig-free Lex Luthor sees a bald man in the street from behind. He swoops down and just as he is about to collar him, we hear 'Who Loves Ya Baby?'....and suddenly Telly Savalas swings around and offers him a lollipop!
The director (Richard Lester) was obsessed with these "screwball" stunts. He ruined this movie, and tried his best to ruin Superman II when he came on board after the first director was fired. I can't believe he thought this kind of stuff was funny or appropriate in an action movie. Maybe it was when the Three Stooges were still new to the scene, but it didn't age well and looked hopelessly dated even in 1983.
@icemachine79 Don't rag on screwball, the 3 Stooges are great! . . . just it shouldn't be in a Superman movie. The opening scene of III with the car filling with water is really quite embarrassing. Not to mention Richard Pryor skiing off a skyscraper and not receiving a scratch, let alone getting killed.
I actually think of him more as a dick than evil. He never really actually HARMS anyone, just kinda says "eff it" and does his own thing. Gettin' lushed up, boning Lorelai on the Statue of Liberty...he's just sorta in it for himself. They did make me laugh though
Superman III has grown on me over the years. Parts of the film are pretty good, like the junkyard fight sequence and parts of the Smallville stuff. I especially like the scene where Superman begins to feel the corruption that the Kryptonite brings on him when he is at Lana's house. It's a very well acted scene by Christopher Reeve and enhanced with the creepy music Ken Thorne composed for it.
i love SIII, but Lester, a comedy director, over did the gags a bit. It became more of a Pryor comedy than a Superman movie. Even Christopher Reeve later said the scene with Richard Pryor falling off the building with a pink tablecloth was ''in poor taste.''
Superman III is what it is. A fun and chessy Superman Adventure. In many way's it like watching a singular , classic Fleischer episode. With Great action , Dazzling Special effects and a terriffic performance by Christopher Reeve . I don't think anyone should feel ashamed for enjoying it. One day I'd really love to see a special cut with some of these fun scenes back in the movie along with the space titles.
You know.....you...umm. lol. Wow. This was just pure yikes. Richard Donner must have been laughing his ass off at this campy, silly, vehicle for Richard Pryor, movie.
You think this is bad? I read an interview with Chris Reeve in which he described a scene that was dropped from the script of the (naturally) Richard Lester version of II. Superman sees a bunch of apparent bank robbers running away from the crime scene, one of which is a bald guy. Superman swoops down to collar him, he turns to camera and says (holding up a lollipop for Superman) 'who loves ya baby?' (Lester wanted a Telly Savalas/Kojak cameo)
I agree, it was a welcome change of pace for the series,in the 1st Superman was depicted as a God figure,in the 2nd as an action hero and in the 3rd a comic book character, there you have a complete profile of Superman
Why would we need another epic Superman movie after 1.
We had a great action flick in 2.
But 3 was fresh, well acted and comic book style. Theres only so much Lex Luther any man can take, Superman had more than one enemy and braniac was one, so in a way then, was Pryor, who I also found hilarious.
BYE.

He swoops down and just as he is about to collar him, we hear 'Who Loves Ya Baby?'....and suddenly Telly Savalas swings around and offers him a lollipop!

The director (Richard Lester) was obsessed with these "screwball" stunts. He ruined this movie, and tried his best to ruin Superman II when he came on board after the first director was fired. I can't believe he thought this kind of stuff was funny or appropriate in an action movie. Maybe it was when the Three Stooges were still new to the scene, but it didn't age well and looked hopelessly dated even in 1983.

@icemachine79 Don't rag on screwball, the 3 Stooges are great! . . . just it shouldn't be in a Superman movie. The opening scene of III with the car filling with water is really quite embarrassing. Not to mention Richard Pryor skiing off a skyscraper and not receiving a scratch, let alone getting killed.

I actually think of him more as a dick than evil. He never really actually HARMS anyone, just kinda says "eff it" and does his own thing. Gettin' lushed up, boning Lorelai on the Statue of Liberty...he's just sorta in it for himself. They did make me laugh though

Superman III has grown on me over the years. Parts of the film are pretty good, like the junkyard fight sequence and parts of the Smallville stuff. I especially like the scene where Superman begins to feel the corruption that the Kryptonite brings on him when he is at Lana's house. It's a very well acted scene by Christopher Reeve and enhanced with the creepy music Ken Thorne composed for it.

While Superman III may not be the style and taste that is popular today , it was very sucessful and very well recieved with audiance's in 83.
From what I see of the Film , the bad Superman was just suppose too be a corrupt person and not nessisarily evil , persay.

i love SIII, but Lester, a comedy director, over did the gags a bit. It became more of a Pryor comedy than a Superman movie. Even Christopher Reeve later said the scene with Richard Pryor falling off the building with a pink tablecloth was ''in poor taste.''

Superman III is what it is. A fun and chessy Superman Adventure. In many way's it like watching a singular , classic Fleischer episode. With Great action , Dazzling Special effects and a terriffic performance by Christopher Reeve . I don't think anyone should feel ashamed for enjoying it. One day I'd really love to see a special cut with some of these fun scenes back in the movie along with the space titles.

You know.....you...umm. lol. Wow. This was just pure yikes. Richard Donner must have been laughing his ass off at this campy, silly, vehicle for Richard Pryor, movie.

This ENTIRE MOVIE should have been deleted before it was released in the theaters. (I think Christopher Reeve would have agreed with me).

FuryfighterX 2 years ago 2
You think this is bad? I read an interview with Chris Reeve in which he described a scene that was dropped from the script of the (naturally) Richard Lester version of II. Superman sees a bunch of apparent bank robbers running away from the crime scene, one of which is a bald guy. Superman swoops down to collar him, he turns to camera and says (holding up a lollipop for Superman) 'who loves ya baby?' (Lester wanted a Telly Savalas/Kojak cameo)
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This was in the British TV version but edited for the DVD.
TV version had about 17 minutes more footage.
ps. Superman 3 is a great movie IMHO and nowhere near as bad as people make out.
FAR superior to the 4th anyway!

I agree, it was a welcome change of pace for the series,in the 1st Superman was depicted as a God figure,in the 2nd as an action hero and in the 3rd a comic book character, there you have a complete profile of Superman
mandala921 2 years ago
Why would someone give you a negative for that? That was very well put? I just don't get it.
jayce79 2 years ago
I completely agree.
Why would we need another epic Superman movie after 1.
We had a great action flick in 2.
But 3 was fresh, well acted and comic book style. Theres only so much Lex Luther any man can take, Superman had more than one enemy and braniac was one, so in a way then, was Pryor, who I also found hilarious.
