@ThatAnimalGuy the bright red beams are for our benefit, it's like a laser beam, you don't see it except for the dot where it hits

i enjoy and respect what Donner did for II, but i though it was a little far-fetched for Lois to jump out of a skyscraper window just to persuade Clark to show his real identiity. Jumping into Niagara Falls seemed a little more realistic. Same goes with the fake bullets scene in the DC. I wonder why Donner filmed 2 endings to II when it came to the fate of the villains. In one deleted scene, you see the villains being escorted by the arctic police, but in the final cut they are killed.

Still think super breath is a silly-looking power.

I just read that the guy at 5:05 isn't actually Christopher Reeve, they didn't shoot a remaining shot with him at the time and needed an insert with Clark back at the window. Slick!

I LOVE THE CHEMISTRY OF REEVE AND KIDDER HERE :) JUST SHOWS MUCH OF THE SUPERMAN-LOIS TANDEM.SO NATURAL!!! I LOVE CHRISTOPHER REEVE!!! MISS HIM VERY MUCH! NONE LIKE HIM. BUT REALLY, WHEN ROUTH CAME, THAT GREAT BIG PASSION AND HOPE FOR SUPERMAN CAME BACK TO ME AGAIN. SUPERMAN LIVES ON!

Agreed! The second movie was a 'bubblegum blockbuster'. The first one has the weight an archetypal depiction deserves. Donner and Mankiewicz would have made an excellent series. The original is precious ... treated with the reverence it deserves! And Christopher Reeve IS Superman.

At the beginning... Jimmy has a boner?... probably was thinking of Margot on Playboy...

I wonder why it was cut?

Reeves Clark Kent always reminds me of Kermit the Frog. lol

No better SUPER-MAN, though!!!!!!!!!

The only really great thing that came out of Lester replacing Donner was the selection of Ken Thorne as composer. He built on John Williams' cherished score, while adding some unforgettable contributions of his own, like the chilling Zod/villains motif that would reoccur so often in II and III. I just wish that didn't have to come at the cost of Donner's original vision for the movie, which even in its skeletal existing form, seems vastly superior in nearly every way.
