On this movie, I guess it was a good thing that Lois Lane got to take her vacation to Bermuda just in time since if she stayed in Metropolis and maybe flew with Superman and found out that he turned bad, she probably would want to break up with him.
@tninbredretard SUPERMAN IV IS SHIT. WORST "SPECIAL" EFFECTS EVER. EVEN A 10 YEAR OLD WITH HIS HORNBY TRAINSET COULD'VE DONE BETTER MINATURES THAN THAT CRAP. SUPERMAN III HAS THE CLASSIC SCRAP YARD SCENE WITH IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN SUPERMAN IV!
well really you didn't see much of the movie, you see just about all of richard pryor here, but none of clark kent going to his high school reunion and meeting that other girl, and when he splits into good and bad and the bad superman is going around causing trouble... and that seen where he fights himself which was pretty cool
@woody76flat9 only the ABC cut showed the space credits which should have been in the theaterical cut as well. I always thought showing the credits during the Metropolis street scene was the first mistake in this movie among others like allowing Pryor steal the movie. There's something about the superman theme at the beginning of 1 and 2 that feels patriotic. Something thats missing from 3.
Ok this is the most miseading trailer of all time....
1. "Richard Pryor has come to Metropolis". WTF?? He's not playing himself in this movie. 2. He doesn't come to Metropolis to sell alcohol 3. He's NOT "The best con-man"... In fact, it's made quite clear in the film that he's one of the worst. 4. The super computer doesn't "control the Earth" or "change the weather" nor does it cause any of the events shown when those lines are mentioned. 5 The super computer doesn't "reprogram Superman".
How the hell did Richard Pryor end up in this movie? Did he owe money to the producers or something? I mean, considering his personality and the nature of his comedy, one would assume he'd have to be in deep financial shit to agree to whitewash his act.
@Aivottaja According to Richard Pryor, he thought the script was shit, but agreed to do it because the producers offered him several million to do it, a huge amount of money at that time.
@Aivottaja He was on the Tonight Show and the producers saw that he told Carson that he really liked Superman II so they decided to cast him for this movie. Big mistake
@rsurvivorvereda I kinda agree with you. To me, it's a "So Bad It's Good" movie. It's what it would be like if they brought a silver era comic to the movies (Absurd science, weird stories etc etc)
Pamela Stephenson was, and still is SO DAMN SEXY. I remember getting hard ons at a very early age in the scene where she seduces Superman. And what an amazing figure.
Check me if I'm wrong Sally....but isn't the color of Superman's suit when he's "Bad Superman" in Superman III the same colors they used for the "Good Superman" in the new Superman movie 2005? Kinda says something about how our culture has changed in 20 yrs. The old 'bad' is now acceptable as ok...not so bad.
I think what went wrong with 3 and 4 was that they both were campy. They did the same thing to the Batman franchise in the 90s with Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. They don't stay true to the characters!
Seeing this film in theaters as a kid I thought, Richard Pryor stole this film. That was the biggest mistake of the film. BUT the highlight was fighting himself (Bizzaro I guess). The film was chessy but not as BAD as part 4! Ugh
Has anybody realised that none of this actually happens in the film? None of what the deep voice guy says actually takes place. Just putting that out there.
@MrJonterrobang Yeah too right lol!! they should never be forgiven for this because as we now know Reeves was the best Superman & hard to replace & they wasted it on this crap! this movie was supposed to be serious he was gonna fight BRAINIAC but they changed it to Ross Webster!
I think thee only best superman movies were 1and2 cuz if u notice christ reeves was at his best and not to mention in his greatest shape in physical then the last 2 movies he made, he look worn out n aviously not alot of action but I still love him and God has him in heaven where he should be as the man of steel.
@Jess2012rocha he did look good & matured a bit. down deep inside he wasn't happy w/ this movie. he didn't want to do SIII in the first place. r. lester & the salkinds ruined everything. i'm glad i've gotten the chance to have met christopher reeve & gotten his autograph. a gentleman.
The main plot of this movie is a computer that can control the weather and cause untold damage, that instilation exsists, its called HARRP, look it up!
Haha oh god I love this, especially I ASK YOU TO KILL SUPERMAN AND YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT ONE SIMPLE THING? That's the best quote in the history of anything Superman, or maybe the history of movies.
I LIKED this movie aLOT. I don't know why so many critics PANNED this. The Only Christopher Reeves Superman that wasn't any good was the 4th one, A Quest for Peace.
You know when you look back on a movie and it is better than you remember? This ain't one of those times. This movie is worse than I remember, and I remembered it being pretty bad.
@MsBeatlesfan100 Compare a turd with another turd and they're both still turds. Still, at least both 3 and 4 had Superman actually fighting hand to hand with other superpowered enemies. Superman Returns had him...lifting and carrying. Woo freaking hoo.
As with most franchises the 3rd is usually where it gets reeaal bad. There are a few exceptions for the 2nd installments (Godfather II, The Empire Strikes Back etc, arguably of course) but when you get to 3 it get to churning out a product. I dare anyone to name me a 3rd installment of any franchise that was really worthy of anything. Superman 2 would have been right up to par with 1 if Donner hadn't been shitcanned, it still is a worthy sequel with the Lester's footage along Donner's.
@iowaguitarshred Yes I agree but that gets complicated with prequel as opposed to the the original three etc. And the saying (for me at least) the award for best of the the 3 prequels in that series is R of the S is like saying here's an award for the world's tallest midget.
@Gossage54 haha, good point, but personally I think ROTS was up to par with the original trilogy, in fact i'll evenm go as far to say that I liked it better than return of the jedi. But the first two movies did completely blow, but at least it started out as really bad and got better, it was like Lucas was just relearning how to make good movies again.
I thought episode 2 was better than episode 1, and episode 3 in my mind was by far more kick ass than the first 2.
@Gossage54 I see you're point, but flame me if you want, I think revenge of the sith was good enough to be compared to the other movies. The first two were absolutely horrid, but me personally, thought ROTS was a massive improvement. In fact, I like ROTS even more than ANH, it's up there with Return for me. Empire is my fav though.
@iowaguitarshred I agree ROTS was a vast improvement over those first two. The anticipation of Anakin transforming into Darth helped with keeping people on the edge of their seats for this one. You really felt strongly I see though putting it ahead of ANH. I can't go that far myself. ESB is for me (and many) hands down the best of the series no contest. I'll never forget seeing it in the theater and the gasps when Vader revealed he was Luke's father (could never be done now thanks internet)
@Gossage54 Oh yeah, I totally agree with ESB being the best, that was what first got me into Star wars. I've just never personally liked ANH, even before the prequel trilogy I thought it was "meh" compared to the ESB and RotJ, but I do think ANH was still better than phantom and clones, just not as good as revenge.
@Gossage54 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. My personal favorite out of the series. It really sets the mood for the following films and introduces the fans to the darker elements of Harry Potter.
Im sorry but this trailer is so lame and banking on the fact that its a superman sequel. Seriously, this trailer is so fucking sloppy it makes me wanna vomit up shit.
This is the greatest trailer ever, "This time Richard Pryor has come to metropolis" lmao, they should do this for every movie trailer, just use the actors' real name. Is it just me or does it seem like they had a richard pryor movie they had trouble getting off the ground so they were like will throw superman in it and just have richard pryor do his thing.
oh man.. to this day, i feel bad for chris reeve to be in this movie. it was horrible and thats why it tanked.. then too.. Richard Pryor? thank you brotha? NO thanks!
This is one of the worst trailers of all time. It 's just a three and a half minute synopsis of the entire movie, including the ending and every major plot point. If you watch this trailer, there is no point to watching the movie because it shows Superman destroying the super-computer. Not that you'd want to sit through this shit movie anyway.
one can only imagine what this picture might have been had richard donner and tom mankiewicz worked on this!!!had they only been fired by the salkinds after a 4th or 5th installment.GODDAMN REALITY!!!!
@melendavid Uh dude, he wasn't the first guy who happened to be in films that ever died. RIP, piece by piece, means "REST in peace". So just give it a rest. Dude's dead. Too bad.
I noticed that in this trailer they used John Williams theme instead of Ken Thornes untill the got to the end of the trailer and it was kens at the beggining.
yeah, the trailer assumes that lois is in the movie at 2:45, yet she is hardly in there at all (margot kidder left the project in protest after the richard donner thing). it's near-false advertising if you think about it!
What killed this movie was Robert Vaughn and Richard Pryor. They should have kept a serious tone throughout the film, scrapped the idea of a super-computer, got Mario Puzo to do this script also, kicked the Salkind's to the curb, and gave Richard Donner free reigns to do what he wanted. case in point...have you seen the "Richard Donner" version of Superman II? ...Much, Much better film!
@picc01 I agree, Superman III was God Awful and it was terrible, but I will say this:
I agree w/Siskel & Ebert when he said that the film had too many stunts and it was also missing a great love affair and Richard Pryor was so wasted on this film and as much as I like Robert Vaughn as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., he wasn't fit to play a Super Villian in Superman and plus, he was a poor man's Lex Luthor and not to mention, the Super Computer was STUPID and also, I blame Richard Lester for this
This was a good movie. I just wish they could have used Richard Pryor's character differently... they didn't give him a chance to show his comic-talent !
I liked Superman 2 the best - Superman 3 had the best scenes - i.e the bad Superman in the bar and fighting Clark . Reeve is/was Superman noone else comes near to his acting of Superman !
If you look at this movie for what it is then it is perfectly fine. This is NOT a Superman movie, it is a Richard Pryor movie. Only Richard Pryor could have the comedic genius to upstage SUPERMAN. Two giants in the entertainment industry. Chris Reeve and Richard Pryor. Doesn't get much better. I agree that Superman IV was the only 'unwatchable' Superman film. With the low budget special effects, terrible acting, and ridiculous plot, only Gene Hackman keeps that movie somewhat entertaining
super man 1 classic

This is one of the worst trailers of all time. It 's just a three and a half minute synopsis of the entire movie, including the ending and every major plot point. If you watch this trailer, there is no point to watching the movie because it shows Superman destroying the super-computer. Not that you'd want to sit through this shit movie anyway.

OK trailer... I hope someone will post the opening "Rube Goldberg"-ish sequence, which is one of the cleverest opening scenes of any movie, ever.

yeah, the trailer assumes that lois is in the movie at 2:45, yet she is hardly in there at all (margot kidder left the project in protest after the richard donner thing). it's near-false advertising if you think about it!

What killed this movie was Robert Vaughn and Richard Pryor. They should have kept a serious tone throughout the film, scrapped the idea of a super-computer, got Mario Puzo to do this script also, kicked the Salkind's to the curb, and gave Richard Donner free reigns to do what he wanted. case in point...have you seen the "Richard Donner" version of Superman II? ...Much, Much better film!

@picc01 I agree, Superman III was God Awful and it was terrible, but I will say this:
I agree w/Siskel & Ebert when he said that the film had too many stunts and it was also missing a great love affair and Richard Pryor was so wasted on this film and as much as I like Robert Vaughn as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., he wasn't fit to play a Super Villian in Superman and plus, he was a poor man's Lex Luthor and not to mention, the Super Computer was STUPID and also, I blame Richard Lester for this

Superman 3 was more kid-friendly than the rest. But it wasn't without its problems. It was also a turning point in Pryor's career.

I liked Superman 2 the best - Superman 3 had the best scenes - i.e the bad Superman in the bar and fighting Clark . Reeve is/was Superman noone else comes near to his acting of Superman !

the first one is a real masterpiece
the second one, I really liked it (both Lestler and Donner versions)
the third one was pretty entertaining (underrated if you ask me)
the fourth one was just... horrible
& Superman Returns is a good welcome back of the franchise.

If you look at this movie for what it is then it is perfectly fine. This is NOT a Superman movie, it is a Richard Pryor movie. Only Richard Pryor could have the comedic genius to upstage SUPERMAN. Two giants in the entertainment industry. Chris Reeve and Richard Pryor. Doesn't get much better. I agree that Superman IV was the only 'unwatchable' Superman film. With the low budget special effects, terrible acting, and ridiculous plot, only Gene Hackman keeps that movie somewhat entertaining
