Richard Pryor praised Superman 2 in this Tonight Show interview. I wonder if that is why they approached him to do Superman 3. He gave it a free plug. It was. I once read in a book titled Superman vs Hollywood that screenwriters David and Leslie Newman had watched the interview and asked Ilya Salkind if they could include him in the next Superman film.

I like how superman 3 gave little kids nightmares from the Richard Pryor turning into a robot scene, the horror of which derived more from bad special effects than anything else. Pryor didn't turn into a robot, Annie Ross did.

As far as 2 goes, I will always love it, but how our hero was able to walk home from the fortress of solitude remains one of the great unanswered questions in pop culture. Huh?, Please clarify... He walked FROM the fortress, with Lois, until they found a car and drove to the diner... After they left the diner, at some point... He walked TO the fortress... I'm surprised that you are not talking about Lex Luthor... How did he get back to prison from the Fortress? It looks like Superman just left him there. In a deleted scene, the Arctic police took him in to custody, just outside of the fortress... but where did the Arctic police come from?Maybe the Fortress wasn't so hidden after all, and was near some arctic village... The walk wasn't so far. But, yes, it seems Clark did some extra walking back TO the fortress, because no one would give him a ride to the arctic village.

The fortress of solitude was supposed to be really remote. That's the point. To and from it's a ridiculous premise. I still enjoy the movies. Christopher Reeve will always br my Superman, there's yet to be one better ❤ |

You actually mean ‘Superman II at 40 (US release).’ It already was released the previous year. Why the delay? I was under the impression movies used to be released in the US before they came out overseas. Probably, if it is made in the USA... I think most of the movie was made in England, and used the James Bond studio locations for some of it... Some films are even shown at the Cannes film festival, before the rest of the world.

Richard Pryor didn’t get cyberized. It was Vera Webster. I will admit the scene of her robotic blank eye opening was scary to my 5 year old self. for me, it was as she was screaming, and then she gets muffled, by the metallic parts attaching to her face... Those muffling sounds creeped me out way more than her eyes... By the way, there is a major continuity problem with that part of the story... Vera is wearing gloves before she is captured. The robot pieces attach to her bare hands. Vera is wearing gloves again after the computer is destroyed.

Donner cut is great. I know the time travel ending is a repeat, & yet I'm also fully aware of why it exists in the first place - 1 & 2 were to be one seamless film in 2 parts.
Lois 'shooting' Clark is a tremendous performance by Reeve.

That creepy cyborg woman in Superman 3 also did some of the dub for Ursa in Superman 2. They used her voice in some places. When she says on the moon: "You. What kind of creature are you? A man?"
Doesn't the Clark and Brad scenes seem similar to the George and Biff relationship?

MAN OF STEEL kicks its ass -- and the '78 SUPERMAN, too.
Yep, I said it... and I stood in line for a ticket to SUPERMAN II on its opening weekend (age 19 at the time).

Watched it, and the original, today. It's amazing how even though they're pretty dated now, they're still the best Superman movies around, even though I liked Returns and MoS.

That sums it up. Now, let me go to this diner and take this hot babe away from that four eye freak there. Won't take but a minute.
