Superman 3

[TheSwiftDecline]

It only does everything ;)

[kaikai711]

They called that a supercomputer back then. Does it equavlent to today's PS3?

[BansheeFnd]

@kaikai711 no the ps3 cant process for shit.

[graemeh2009]

This was terrifying as a kid. Ridiculous now.

[tsntana]

I actually forgot about this part.

[anderworld]

Oh! and as a kid, i called the red substance, the "tomato sauce"

[anderworld]

Superman´s carest scene. I was terrified.

[Foxonian]

I keep wondering if the inspiration for the Borg on ST:TNG came from this scene

[fergood1978]

AFTER THE COMPUTER WAS DESTROYED, DID THE ROBOT TURN BACK AGAIN INO THE OLD WOMAN?

[kevinphoenix2007]

@fergood1978 Yes

[ACLTony]

@fergood1978 -Yes, the lady woke up feeling groggy as robot parts fell off of her. Though I'm a Superman fan, imho, this movie had many campy plot scenes that could have been improved. Richard Pryor & Robert Vaughn's character portrayals were "ok", but should have been more serious, less comical. But this was the 80s. The Justice League and JLU animated series, years later, captured Superman's style pretty well and some of the episodes made small tributes to Chris Reeves portrayal.

[BCoriginal1]

My sis had the same thing happen to her from running Windows Vista

[ICET100]

@BCoriginal1

did she change into a Robot as well  lol hahaha

[kibosenshi]

I remember this!, the robot...

[hutprancer]

Just keep clicking 0:26 over and over.

[koolkillax]

1:33 Something Computers we had don't do! I wonder what Microsoft would have to say about this!

[bassgasmask]

this part of the movie always scared the living shit out of me as a kid....

[MsPeachPrincess21]

What did she say @ 0:30? I didn't get a single word of that.

:S

[whitetrooper]

She's definitely is addicted to technology.

[spacexploder]

the best superman movie. gonna watch the dvd later.

[drumbago]

scared the hell out of me too! i didn't want to be turned into a robot...felt so bad when Richard Pryor got turned into one!

[MsPeachPrincess21]

@drumbago Actually,it wasn't Richard Pryor who got turned into that robot,it was that dark-haired woman,remember?

[bono16161]

Scared the HELL outta me as a kid, gave me a nightmare! It's funny now though.

[t5239857289578947594]

I think that supercomputers deseign was awesome.Those who know Cray Supercomputers know what I mean.

[notbobby125]

Sir, were being...

JAMMED!

[notbobby125]

Sir, were being...

JAMMED!

[jayce79]

The robot scared the crap outa me as a kid.

[leafyutube]

This got robbed at the Oscars. Haha!

[DorianMichaelsIII]

I only have one question-- what on Earth was that red goopy stuff that kept bubbling up out of its container and splattering the computer's circuitry? My only guess is that it's something corrosive, given the effect on the circuits it touched (oh, and the small fact that it melted right through the surface it was standing on).

[Felamine]

@DorianMichaelsIII

*spoilers*

It was a jar of acid from the chemical plant Superman saved earlier in the movie. The stuff is just a normal chemical when cooled, but when it's heated (such as from a fire or in this case a very hot supercomputer) it begins to boil over and eat through everything.

[scorchx3000]

@Felamine

And if it got hot enough, it would turn into a cloud of acid, if i remember correctly.

[yogafan6500]

Superman III should have been rated PG-13 because of that scary scene.

[isrj01]

they didn't know ctrl + alt + del

[danielqmul]

That scene scared the crap out of me when I saw that when I was a kid.

[930588210]

probably running Windows Vista!

[LionEntity]

I couldn't watch this video...as a kid i used to watch this and it would scare me, but not having seen this for 20 years and seeing it now seems to scare me even more...as if it awakens childhood fears in me, i felt as if i was gonna faint when watching...I couldn't finish it, couldn't even get to the middle, for some strange reason....

[jrlynn79]

The scariest ending of all the Superman movies i think

[Rain395]

When I was a kid and I remembered this scene, I jumped behind the couch screaming, "SKIP IT! SKIP IT!!! STUPID ROBOT!!!" ah the good ol' days. That really does mean I'm getting older hehe.

[bing78]

that scream use to give me nightmares

[Yesornoization]

I would like to confirm that this does scare the crap out of you when you're six.

[joetrainer31]

@Yesornoization I was 10 and it scared me lol

[Voyagersguidebook]

This robot scene is still Scary as heck!!

[mets78]

Yeah, that was just about the scariest thing ever to see on the big screen as a kid. I kinda wish my parents had gotten a babysitter that night.

[Gibbowr]

OW NOEZ!!! the tomato soup overcooked!!!

[DrMarilynFan]

And from this, Dr. Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog came up with the theory of robotisizing

[scorchx3000]

It's a robot version of Robert smith!

[Grademike]

You have to of loved all 4 films as a child, IMO, to fully appreciate them. It's the way the movies captured your imagination when you were younger, I was genuinely convinced a man could fly. It's still the greatest thing I've ever witnessed. ALL the movies are good, even IV despite the really low production values. Just ask yourself this. . . Why would you want four 'Superman: The Movie's? The series had to adapt, and bring something new and exciting each time. Which it did.

Rant over, lol

[t5239857289578947594]

@Grademike Awesome,just fukn awesome!

[punxchild1987]

The whole final battle in this movie is as close as we`ve gotten so far to seeing Superman fight Braniac in a live action feature (Yes I realize its not Braniac in the movie at all)

[scorchx3000]

Um, how the fuck is this spam?

[hotelmario510]

What are you referring to?

[scorchx3000]

somebody keeps marking your comments as spam, because they are fucktards.

[hotelmario510]

Ah. right. F**ktards indeed.

[MonsieurGuyGadbois]

Quite possibly the best one IMO

[irreverentmoose]

I didn't think Superman Returns was too bad. I just think it tried to distance itself so much from Superman 3 and tried to mimic what fans liked about Superman 2 a little too much and became a little too dark and slow.

[nottinghampokerpro]

Superman 1+2 10/10great movies

superman returns 6/10

superman 3 3/10

superman4  2/10

[leoaugustoaraujos]

Nobody can make a same movie... unfortunity

[MegaHale]

Worst Superman movie ever!!!!

[knives254]

Worst then Superman Returns?

[MegaHale]

Ok...you have a point! I´m not sure about which one is the worst , they both suck!

[knives254]

Which one do you like?

[MegaHale]

Neither! How about you?

[knives254]

Yah, none of them were that great.

[MegaHale]

None of them were great at all!

[knives254]

Your Right!

[hotelmario510]

LOL. some nerd thumbed you down!

[Foebane72]

I don't care what anyone else says: that "ultimate computer" and everything it did was PURE AWESOMENESS! 5/5

[hal1992]

My god this is lame.

[izzardfan]

this is the only bit ive remembered, from seeing it as a kid. boy, that robot terrified me.

[verzeda]

@izzardfan

same!

[light564]

And say hello to Micheal Jackson lol

[BigAngeloSantorini]

Man she sure sounded like she was in pain. No wonder i was so scared back in the day.

[orpheus1664]

Wow this brings back a lot of nightmare memories. Might sleep with the light on tonight...

[Grafwichmann]

Had they edited out most of the goofy stuff, this could have been a terrific movie.

[hotelmario510]

It would also have been about 10 minutes long.

[YummyDrfood]

This creeped me out as a kid as well. I was pretty nervous around large machines for some time after I saw this :)

[thetwobrians]

we're thru frogface. im splitting

[brucefwaaa]

yeah that scared the shit out of me as a kid too...

[WWAAK]

This bit scared the fuck outta me as a kid, but 13 years after last seeing it I can't stop laughing.

[stratguy1688]

So what happened here???

[Mintsauce27]

scared me shitless as a kid

[izzardfan]

me too!!

[sharpy2010]

Im glad it wasnt just me who was shitscared of this! Im 33!

[DaddyBigNutz01]

i saw this when i was REALLY little ,like three or four. it scared the living shit out of me. still does. hard for me to watch still!

[Joewho72]

Im 32 That still freaks me out. I saw this in the Movies in 83! I feel so old!

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

jesus says that"he loves that robot woman"she probably wants to grab his testicles!

[SuaveGemini]

Yeah this spooked me to I guess cause she looked so... I don't know zombie like. i was 6 so who knows what i was thinking.

[ttypp]

man was she scary looking........... but after she became the robot it was ok

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

Jesus says"let that robot woman touch his testicles!

[thethunderchild123]

I remember seeing this scene as a kid and it scared the hell out of me. I can still remember cause it scared me that bad. (altough I saw Childs Play when I was 7 and that was worse)

[georgelambshow]

I was discussing this scene with a friend - i was 7 when I saw this back in 1992, it was shown on a sunday afternoon on BBC 1. It was so scary - I never saw the end of the film until I was about 20!

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

oh really!

[martinfvarela]

Most guys are know who were kids when this was released (just like I was) were scared to tears with this scene. I couldn't watch this damn movie again for over a decade! I felt kinda stupid when I did watch it again...

[georgelambshow]

Totally sympathise with you there matey.

[jerryaltman]

What a mess of computer, causing problems... I bet Microsoft developed it !!!!

[uchihaIce]

I was traumatized by this part of the movie when I was like 8 y/o. Seriously, I could watch any movie and not freak out, but this got me so scared.... :|

[jesuslovescocks]

They all suck cocks,agree?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

Maybe,at 0:31-0:32 she want to suck your dick and have sex with her,and let her robot hands on your testicles.

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

How old is Annie Ross?

[mrfahrenheit27]

This, I think, was their substitute for Brainiac. Probably the most redeeming part of Superman III, other than the Junkyard Scene.

[auhin]

i agree. Vera's scary enough, but this scene was brilliant. definitely the most memorable pat of the movie besides junkyard battle.

[mabseyuk]

Why didnt he just fly into the cave at superspeed and crash right through the middle of the computer or was that too easy :P

[ProserpinaFC]

Yeah, I remember this... It wasn't "scary" as much as it was "dramatic"....

6yo me "Holy crap, man! She's a DRIOOOOOOD!"

[johnblueriggs]

Yep, between the lady turning into a robot and the MPC from Tron, I never thought I'd stand anywhere near my Atari 2600 ever again!

[ArsenicBlackgammon]

E, Im sorry but just before that scene when the guy yells

"The computer wants to live!!!"

I thought that this doesnt deserve to be a superman film.

[t5239857289578947594]

@ArsenicBlackgammon She was referring to the computer thinking on it's own,under it's own controle.

[gransabermezo]

I showed my 11 yr old bro this he didn't freak out. Now i showed him Chucky now guess what he did.

A. Run to his room

B. Suck his thumb

C. Cry like a baby

D. Scream into a pillow

E. All of the Above

[NASA19]

0:29 is scary keep clicking it youl know what i mean

[redbinary]

Windows 7 FTW!

[SONYLOGIC]

this is what the system will do to you if you are not careful.... NEW WORLD ORDER is around the corner

[GalvaWalken8]

Holy shit! Scary robot lady.

Not cool, man. That used scare the crap out of me.

[kuplayboy]

This is the only part I remember too. Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. I was only 2 when this came out.

[Metakonsulen]

The robot transformation also freaked me out as a kid. I suppose its the thought of being pulled into something and being consumed or transformed. It must have impacted me somehow, since i could remember this scene and not the movie as a whole. Seeing it now brought back some of that childhood fear, but i just had to see it.

[XR6Turbo2003]

Very true 'Metakonsulen' I am exactly the same, I only remember the robot bit as well.

[PIlotrcm]

This scene freaked me out and still does, the struggle and the pain seem so convincing, good acting....that would suck

[ChrisJMoor]

This scene scared the hell out of me as a kid. The robot transformation scene in particular but also the idea of a computer becoming self-aware and turning against its builders.

[brazensteel]

That robot transformation scene traumatized all little kids.

[jumpingburrito7]

hell yea..this scared me as a lil kid..

[FebUSAlf]

I never got to watch any of the old superman movies. Can anyone explain what the machine is for and how and why it turned her into a robot?

[spellbinderart]

The Supercomputer in this scene was supposedly designed for world domination, but it was simply a gimmick to cash in on the "brave new world" of powerful home computers of the early 1980's, such Apple, Commodore, and Atari systems. The supercomputer in this scene has no practical use by todays sci-fi standards, but it looked kinda cool back in 1983. This movie still failed at the box office though.

[FebUSAlf]

Ah. Thank you. I should've known. It's always world domination. :P

[spellbinderart]

You're very welcome dude.

[Down10]

You have a good point. In addition, this scene puts in a very literal form the technophobia people had in the late 1970's and 80's -- that consumer electronics and home computers would be so engrossing and life-consuming that it would take away our humanity and we would "become robots". It looks campy nowadays, but back then, it was enough to frighten people.

[AMYuntold]

i dont know where do you live, but look at an average young person... or just read one "lol" "omg" or whatever shit like those in a comment, and think again if people are becoming robots or not.

[UncleFeedle]

I'm almost 100% certain that the studio set this was filmed on was converted from the old Batcave from the 60's Batman TV show. The layout of the room and the position of the supercomputer are almost identical.

[dayvo46]

omg that computer turned her into a robot version of robert smith!

[GuySmiley689]

When "sister" gets sucked into the computer and all those wires start to cross her face as she screamed...

that is what frightened me the most. Why?

Because I was given one of those allergy tests with those needle-grid things the day after I watched this movie for the first time!

No child of the 80's should have to deal with both of these traumatic experiences in one week!

[bethelorenza]

I ran into my mum's room crying when i first saw this at 5! Man I HATED this part! It freaked the crap out of me!!!!!!!! EVIL electric robot lady!!!!

[stellios28]

yeah i did the same at the same age! Nuclear Man from superman 4 was more scary tho!

[cultoftv]

Nuclear man was extremely camp and not scary to me. Although I was 9 at the time of the movie, he seemed like a pretty boy WWF wrestler!

[batman444]

i HATED this scene when i was a kid..uhhhh

[johngalantini]

SHIT!! i am 22 years old and I have this on dvd, but the scene STILL creeps the shit out of me. i remember when i saw this as an 7 or 8 year old, I was so scared, i couldn't watch the rest - i had to ask the kids at school what happened afterwards.

[eaglefly13]

best scene

[CheeseheadTanner]

promontorium, my message below was in response to what you said. I forgot to hit reply, lol.

[promontorium]

Robot fros are never a laughing matter. Notice the eye lazers never stray far from crotch shots. I doubt you all saw this crap as a kid. The movie bombed. I didn't even know it existed until 2 minutes ago, and I'm 25.

[CheeseheadTanner]

That's because Superman III's primary audience were black.

Not to offend or anything, but it has to be said.

Richard Pryor along with the Salkinds ruined Superman III.

[ignoranceandwant]

I don't see how Superman III was created for a black audience; by the mid-1980s, Pryor was a mainstream star. The movie didn't bomb, either, though it certainly didn't make as much money as the other two. As conceptually silly as Vera's transformation is, it terrified me as a kid...good work by Stuart Freeborn and the FX team. From what I've heard, in the original script, Ross Webster tries to spare himself by offering his roboticized sister his Krugerrands.

[CitySon]

RFLMAO @ "Robot fros & laser crotch"

[vincevl]

My Pentium 3 went the same way.

[newromanticgal]

oh, this seen really caught my eye when i was little, been thinking about it from time to time since then..

[fartmanx]

What a bunch of flowery vaginas you guys are.  Scary? wtf.

[TheEqualiser00]

it was scary to a 6 year old. maybe you grew up with Freddy Kruger or something.

[jflores85]

creepy

[Squirrel3D]

I always thought that should've been the true super villan of the movie. Great effects though.

[Dibrini]

When that woman changed into a robot/cyborg it scared the crap out of me as a kid.

[bigbill1991]

Yeah me too, I looked away.

[BigAngeloSantorini]

Yeah me too. I haven't see this in 15 years, but i still remember this scene being pretty damn scary back then.

[bigbill1991]

Yes amazing what scared us back then and we laugh at now or our kids see it and wonder why we were scared.

[VisionofOrion]

That was a creepy scene. You know Richard Pryor was a comic genuis but was seriously miscast in this movie. In Hollywood someone was doing a helluva lot of coke the day they thought up of that one.

[TheZaius]

One of the scariest scenes from my childhood. One of the few movies to actually give me a nightmare.

[sjones141]

omg i remember being so scared of this scene when i was younger i think it was the way she screamed more than anything

[tall32guy]

That acid stuff bubbled out and gave the computer heartburn. ;-) I always found that funny. LOL

[creamofcardstv]

Your video clip is great! Please check out mine on some 1968 Superman trading cards.

[kazb25]

or man i loved superman when i was a kid but this scared me shitless when i first saw it i couldnt sleep 4 weeks - god cant beleive i forgot about how scared i was good job im much braver now after watching it again i think i will get over it lol

[tall32guy]

LOL!!! Yeah I agree, the effects were lame and hilarious. Annie Ross (or whoever was playing the cyborg) was funny while she was shakin up the other two! LOL But I rememeber being scared as hell also, when the computer turned HER into a computer! LOL I still find it a little grotesque & effective, but not like when I saw it when it came out! :-)

[Darthlongi]

what did u edit?

[yoojimcfooji]

I know this is a bit late, but I edited Superman getting the Jam/acid and parts of the explosion, just to make the clip a bit shorter.

[greenfrogreid]

that was the worst supperman movie made. It was written so badly it was funny. It was a big fat oops on the makers.

[VisionofOrion]

Yeah I admit this movie was bad, but worse then Superman 4? That is definetly debateable

[colilargo]

yo tambien me cague hasta las patas

[record06]

Yeah, pretty laughable now, but scared the shit out of me then.

[dbreiden83080]

"Yeah, A POX on the Salkinds, They killed what would've been a great Franchise"

Got that right firing Donner was the beginning of the end for Superman. Shows how inept they were as producers that they actually thought when they read this script it would make for anything but a disaster of a Superman film.

[Ndure13]

dude you cut out the best scene when superman gets those wires wrapped around him to become a cyborg!!

[inlinegtr]

Does anyone have the whole scene where superman is getting strangled by the computer wires?

[PIlotrcm]

oh dude...you cut out the bit where Superman almost becomes Cyborg.

[PIlotrcm]

I remember as a kid I used to watch this part and be like "Holy Crap! I wonder if that hurts!?"

[Xanatos21]

I hated this scene as a kid and it still scares the shit out of me! Still, it was a pretty good movie, but obviously not the best of the Superman films.

[wesgriff]

there should be a support group for people who have been traumatized by the "assimilation" scene. it's just what this movie is, a big fucking nightmare.

[briareos02]

Holeee! She got assimilated by the Borg!

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!!!

LOL!!

[edsh007]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who was freaked out by this scene as a kid.

[vividesigner]

superman vs 240volts of power.

[skaterboy6305]

That scene scared me too when I was very lil. I fast forwarded this part all the time when it was coming up.

[rocketsloth]

agreed. the part when she's sucked into the machine fucked me up.

[wiseass2147]

I coverd my eyes. Brrrrr!

[skullsandglowsticks]

wait, is it just me, or, when Superman's deflecting the cyborg/robot/whatever's ray, does it sound like it's saying "shittyshittyshittyshittyshitt­yshittyshittyshittyshittyshitt­y  fiiiilllm" ?

[amundb]

You hear what you wanna hear, I guess. If that's your attitude, you shouldn't be watching anything called Superman or Superwhatever in the first place! This is not intended to be a documentary.

[skullsandglowsticks]

nooooooo, the laserbeam sound effects do not diminish from Superman's quality as an old film. It's classic.

[jimmy1701]

lol that scene always scared the fuk out if me when I was like 5 or 6. superman 1 and 2 were the best though 3 was ok but 4 was complete donkey crap
