"For me, Quest for Peace is the most personal Superman of the entire series. It directly reflects what Superman should be, and what he should be doing."
--Christopher Reeve
"Except for fools and madmen, everyone knows that nuclear war would he an unprecedented Human catastrophe."
--Carl Sagan
... fools, madmen and BITCHY fans who're psychotically obsessed with the TRIVIAL flaws of a movie promoting PEACE. There are FAR more important things in life than escapism of FX ...
Fake-maybe but if you compare it with the original it was a lot better. This video may not have used any 3D software or CGI (obviously) but the effects gave enough dramatic perspective. Unlike "Quest for Peace" where the miniatures were very obvious this version instead uses actual photos of the Statue of liberty and cinematic shots of Manhattan which makes viewing this scene a lot fun.
"We continue to spend over $50 billion a year on the U.S. nuclear arsenal. This makes NO sense. These funds are a drain on our budget and a disservice to the next generation of Americans. We are robbing the future to pay for the unneeded weapons ... Now is the time to invest in the people and the programs to get America back on track."
--Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA)
... thank God for great Americans such as Rep. Markey.

"[The Quest for Peace] is also more contemporary than some of the past films. Superman is concerned about a NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST, a message which is brought vividly home for him when a young schoolboy writes to his alter ego, reporter Clark Kent. It's a plea he, as Superman, cannot ignore so he sets out to do something about it."
--Christopher Reeve (1952 - 2004)
DO something about it: Focus on The Quest for Peace's MESSAGE ! Help abolish all nuclear weapons!
"I had seen a television show in Boston. Children were talking about what it is like to grow up in the ATOMIC age. At the same time, people were saying that I had the attention of the kids and that I should take advantage of that, so I said, OK, here's a way to consider this topic. I needed the motivation to really want to play Superman again."
--Christopher Reeve, on why he co-created The Quest for Peace
"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. But more than a few people said the same about ending entrenched racial segregation in South Africa and abolishing slavery in the United States."
--Desmond Tutu, who rose to worldwide fame as an opponent of apartheid, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009
"My own country, South Africa, gave up its nuclear arsenal in the 1990’s, realizing it was better off without these weapons. Around the same time, the newly independent states of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine voluntarily relinquished their nuclear arms ... Global stockpiles have dropped from 68,000 warheads at the height of the Cold War to 20,000 today."
--Desmond Tutu, 7/3/11
Reeve would be proud -- I bet Tutu doesN'T care about The Quest for Peace's TRIVIAL flaws ...
"Today I can declare my hope and declare it from the bottom of my heart that we will eventually see the time when that number of nuclear weapons is down to ZERO and the world is a much better place."
--Colin Powell
"One standard must apply to all countries: ZERO. Nuclear arms are wicked, regardless of who possesses them."
"We started to describe the effects of a bomb dropping on Boston. People being vaporized up to five miles. And third degree burns up to twenty miles and the like. And suddenly people woke up and said 'Oh my God! Nuclear war is bad for our health.' This is all about medicine. Nuclear power poses the greatest public health hazard the world will ever see. Period."
--Dr. Helen Caldicott, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee with 20 honorary doctoral degrees (March 25th, 2011)
"In a 2-megaton explosion over a fairly large city, buildings would be vaporized, people reduced to atoms and shadows, outlying structures blown down like matchsticks and raging fires would be ignited."
"In a full nuclear exchange, not everyone would be killed by the fire storm and the immediate radiation. There would be other agonies; the legions of the burned and blinded and mutilated; disease; plague; long-lived radiation poisoning the soil and the water; the stillbirths and malformed children; the knowledge that we could have prevented it and did nothing."
"Russia and America are still on hair trigger alert as they were in the 1980s, but everybody thinks the nuclear threat of global annihalition has been resolved because the cold war ended. In fact, because of the public's ignorance, the nuclear threat is much greater than before."
--Dr. Helen Caldicott, named by the Smithsonian Institute as one of the most influential women of the 20th century
Combat that ignorance by focusing on Superman IV's MESSAGE instead of obsessing over its flaws.
