This scene really bothered me as a child. Especially with the helpless whimpering Vera does as she's converted, and then the way she (it) rips itself from the wires upon exiting. Upon seeing this, it was the first time I had ever any thoughts of transhumanism.
Wow, interesting how something that scared me so much as a kid is actually just hilarious. In the 20ish years since I last saw this my memory of it had taken on nightmarish proportions, when in reality it's pretty much just Ronnie Wood in silver face paint...
yeah creeped me out when I was little too. I guess its the whole getting consumed and turned into a robot piece by piece while still alive that was unnerving
In the novelization of the movie, the character was revealed as being an android (invented by Vaughn's character) instead of being turned into a cyborg by the supercomputer. Little bit of trivia for you.
Richard Donner, who directed the first two movies, had outined a plot for the third part of the trilogy where the Kryptonian artificial inteligellence Brainiac was the main villan. This supercomputer showdown was a left over from Donner's original plot without being based on any Superman comicbook lore. The movie was terrible, basically a vehicle for Richard Pryor with no real connection to the first two! BTW if you haven't aready, check out 'Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut' on DVD!!
What the heck? I remember renting Superman III, and I don't remember anything like this. How does this fit into the storyline at all? The whole plot is that an uberhacker takes control of computers, and then later uses a weather satellite to take control of Superman himself.
Wow, I saw this as a kid and it scared the fuck out of me. I knew it was from a Superman film but never figured out which one it was. Still creeps me the hell out.
I hate asking for thumbs up, because it's annoying and a sign of mental retardation in the person asking. For that reason I only ask for this:
Everyone who got nightmares from this scene as a child, give a thumbs *down* to RoCKyMUSiC13 (the guy with 640+ thumbs up). Begging for thumbs up is moronic, and should be treated as such.
@riKringkast...... no kidding, i remember this scene and i fk'n freaked out! you have to excuse this GENERATION, they're a hell alot different from when we were growing up!
I was wondering what movie those nightmare fueled memories came from, was there ever an actual explanation in the movie or does she just get coated in metal? Really weird and freaky...
Hey look! Vera Webster was assimilated into a Borg drone! First of its kind! This is a remarkable event! Unprecedented! Didn't Superman take stock?? This is a miracle of science!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny.
