Superman IV Red Alert Deleted Scene Re-Edited

This is from one of the deleted scenes from the Superman IV Deluxe Edition DVD. I slightly changed it and used actual score from the soundtrack of the first movie. I also edited out Lacy as I used this scene for my Superman III and IV combined cut and she wasn't a major character in the movie.

I couldn't find all of the finished scenes so some of the scenes you'll see are unfinished versions.

This would actually be pretty cool to see in the movie.

@jayce79 Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I think the original deleted scene that I based this off of is what really could have brought the movie together since the movie seemed to forget that it was about the threat of nuclear war and instead decided to put more focus on the supervillain by the end.

I think this scene was far more entertaining than the whole more to be honest...

@KingCesar10121 true, i wish they would have kept this scene in the movie. i liked the fact that nuclear man betrays lex luthor, and i thought it was kinda badass when superman appeared in the elevator. plus it just feels like more is at stake rather than just cutting right away to nuclear man destroying cars and such.

"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, 1987

... ask Japan ESPECIALLY NOW which is more important: The promotion of an anti-nuclear message ...

... or ensuring that some snide SPOILED fan out of white suburbia is enraptured by a cinematic experience.

@princeofthieves1000 You know, just because someone doesn't like this movie DOES NOT mean that they don't agree with its anti-nuclear message. Look, if you really like this movie, then that's FINE! I personally respect other people's opinions, and I would never make fun of anyone for liking it! And of course no one cares whether fans have been "enraptured by a cinematic experience" as you have repeated nearly a billion times because it's JUST A DAMN MOVIE!

"I first became aware of the threat of nuclear war when I read Neville Shute's book On The Beach when I was 15 years old and living in Melbourne, where the book was set. The book was about an accidental nuclear war that triggers the end of Human life. This scenario branded my soul."

--Dr. Helen Caldicott, named by the Smithsonian Institute as one of the most influential women of the 20th century

... now, imagine if some tards WASTED over two decades nitpicking Neville Shute's On The Beach ...

"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." Reeve told Starlog in June 1987, "I needed the motivation to really want to play Superman again."

"We have not yet experienced a global thermonuclear war -- although on more than one occasion we have come tremulously close. I do NOT think our luck can hold forever ... We have placed our civilization and our species in jeopardy. Fortunately, it is not yet too late. We can safeguard the planetary civilization and the Human family if we so choose. There is no more important or more urgent issue."

--Carl Sagan

... preventing a nuclear holocaust is FAR more important than your enjoyment!
