"I am General Zod, your ruler. Yes,today begins a new order. Your lands, your pocessions, your very lives will be given in tribute to me,General Zod. In return for your obedience, you will enjoy my generous protection. In other words, you will be allowed to live.":):) Classic!
I remember Terence Stamp talking about one of the more subtle ways he wanted to show Zod regarding everyone he met as being completely beneath him, was to have him deliberately not quite look them directly in the face, he does it a few times with different characters & it's brilliant. The one, true Zod.
@scruffnutz I loved her since I was a young man in the 80s. Back in a time when the America at least seemed like a good place to call home. People know what was right and called out wrong when they saw it.
Terence Stamp was utterly superb in this film....one detail, at 3.11 I smiled as i noticed his natural, Bow, Cockney accent, crept in ....if you DARE!!. What a wonderful yet low profile actor he is...
3:01 I love how General Zod hasn't even seen Superman in the flesh, but just the very IDEA of some 'superman' defying him, standing up to him, putting him in his place is enough to send him into an emotional tailspin of rage lol Stamp was perfect in this movie.
@@productivestruggle9489 It's always hilarious how Zod loses his nerve and Superman outsmarts him again. When I first saw the movie, I couldn't help but smile when Superman tricked him into thinking he had lost all his powers. Terence Stamp REALLY delivered as Zod. This movie would never have felt as epic without him. True, movies need strong heroes but they also need an equally memorable villain and Stamp almost stole the show.
Teremce Stamp should have won an Academy Award for this. He goes all the way in. This whole thing does not work if he's not hardcore all the way as Zod.
3:00 Terence Stamp can't maintain his slightly posh Zod accent when he has to show anger, instead reverts back to his London accent! "Oooo is this Supaman? Supaman! Come ter me! Cor blimey guvna! You bleedin slaaaaaag!"
Yes, you'd think he'd make an effort. He sounds more like a costermonger advertising his blood oranges than the most evil man in the universe. I suppose nobody could tell the difference and they all moved on when they filmed that.
Skipped one of my favorite lines. "This Superman is nothing of the kind, I've discovered his weaknesses". "He cares, he actually cares for these Earth creatures". Ersa: "Like pets"? Zod: "I suppose so".
@0:37, Clifton James. He was a peace officer in 'Live and Let Die', 'The Man With the Golden Gun', 'Silver Streak', and 'Superman II' just for starters.
I love the fact that despite the fact he's conquered another planet ( earth ) Zod becomes immediately disinterested and bored at just how easy it was to conquer and immediately wants a challenge .
Even though Terence was in the first Superman film for only a few minutes, he shone in it, especially for the defiant speech he gives Marlon Brando: *"You will bow down before me! First you, and then one day, your heirs!"* So, technically, that was his comeback film. But *"Superman II"* was his full on comeback. Gave gravitas to a character that was nothing like the version in the DC Comics. Terence Stamp made that character better.
Strange thing is, he played mostly good guys. His debut was as Billy Bud which established him as a pretty boy actor. He definitely aged out of that by the time he was Zod. I think he would have been a great Thufir Hawat in Dune. Although I do like Stephen McKinley Henderson. Of course, if Stamp had been Thufir, Villanueve probably would have still cut him him out of Dune 2.
2013 zod: an evil alien military leader that wants to bring his race back 70s-80s zod: a weird alien in a robe with different powers that acts like he owns everything
Terence has said he was at an ashram for several years prior to filming this, where he and all other attendees were required to be "present" and aware at all times, and that he just used that awareness and present-ness in playing Zod. He didn't worry about making him evil, or anything like that. If you look at some of his scenes, you can kind of sense that and see that.
Terence stamp nails this character. He's the first actor that came to mind when they were making the first X-Men movie to play Magneto He would have been perfect for that role.
Lol it's how both Zod's minions, Ursa and Non kept trying to impress him with their feats. Meanwhile Zod was just either bored, or highly unimpressed... 😂
Non was basically a childlike mute with a low IQ. Ursa was pretty hot though. Zod was interesting but had a pathetic god complex, his only ambition seemed to be wanting everyone to worship him.
I included it just for that second bit. Sounds like he's having a mini-stroke 🤪 p.s. every great movie villain has to yell "Fools!" at some point in the film
I could never ignore,that the 3 villains were only supposed to have the same powers as Superman,but yet Zod displayed telekinetic powers by using his hands to move ppl and objects, without touching them.They never explained how he was able to do that.
I think you need to add the scene where they are banished to the Phantom Zone. "You will bow down before me Jor-El! Both you... and one day...your heirs!"

"You are not the president. No one who leads so many could be so ignorant"🤣
Terence Stamp played Zod brilliantly.Super movie.
Ursa was the real treat, however. "Superman!!!"
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 Yeah she did a really good job with that character.
J.D. Vance could have played Zod also.
Back when villains were pompous bullies and not tortured misunderstood basket cases.
Zod wasn't the first man on the moon. It was Neil before Zod.
(I'll get me coat...)
Zod was outrageously evil. And also funny...
"Who is this imbecile" 🤣🤣🤣
The new Zod totally lacked his hilarious put downs and sheer arrogance
"I am General Zod, your ruler. Yes,today begins a new order. Your lands, your pocessions, your very lives will be given in tribute to me,General Zod. In return for your obedience, you will enjoy my generous protection. In other words, you will be allowed to live.":):) Classic!
I think it's great that Terence Stamp was also the voice of Jor-El in Smallville.
“Who is this imbecile?” Best line ever!!! Love Terrance in this movie
Ha ha. You beat me to it. I was looking for that line lol.
One of the best sequels ever. Actually liked it more than the first.
Amen to that.
Terence Stamp's voice in this is just so cool. What a choice to play Zod 👌
His voice (and performance) in The Limey is also fantastic. Same with the 1984 film The Hit. Just a great, versatile actor 👍
President, bowing down: “Oh God!”
General Zod, correcting him: “Zod”
-My favorite part of the movie
I remember Terence Stamp talking about one of the more subtle ways he wanted to show Zod regarding everyone he met as being completely beneath him, was to have him deliberately not quite look them directly in the face, he does it a few times with different characters & it's brilliant.
The one, true Zod.
Ursa. Was. A. Baaabe. Her eyes and her haircut… magnifique
@scruffnutz I loved her since I was a young man in the 80s.
Back in a time when the America at least seemed like a good place to call home.
People know what was right and called out wrong when they saw it.
@scruffnutz
yeah..... and she likes it rough
LOL
I’d kneel before her.
I think my favorite line Terence Stamp delivers as General Zod is …
“Who is this imbecile?”
Who is this imbecile? Where is he?
Yesss!
Said quietly, but still menacingly...
Terrace stamp played the role fantastic you can't beat the earlier superman movies
Classics great memories
Terence Stamp was utterly superb in this film....one detail, at 3.11 I smiled as i noticed his natural, Bow, Cockney accent, crept in ....if you DARE!!. What a wonderful yet low profile actor he is...
Glad to have meet the actor who played the big guy working with Zod. Jack O'Halloran was so nice at a Comic-con in Fayetteville, NC.
Lightning in a bottle character and performance. Utterly superb.
I really love this version of Zod. Terence Stamp played it as a masterchief.
I read that as 'masterchef' the first time.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 Zod is the new host of Hell's Kitchen.
@@seanwebb605 him and Ramsay together in a failing restaurant- yikes 😂🙌
@@sportinlife1 "Why did you bring undercooked proteins when you knew that I would kill you?"
I saw this flick at age 7 when it dropped. When SM crushed Zod's hand, the audience just went absolutely berserk. The seats were shaking.
Mas Zod's mereceu o *"esquenta"*
Terence Stamp Is Zod Like Christopher Reeve Is The Unique Superman ❤
Aw, you're missing the best one. Zod to Luthor: "Why do you say this to me? --When you know I will kill you for it?"
I love that
😂 my favorite too
The best by far
I love how he delivers that line
Cos it was Luthor who upload this video 🤣
Terrance Stamp was perfect for this role. Great actor and he nailed the character.

Literally just escaped his imprisonment in the Phantom Zone.

Yes, He did.😊👍👊.....🖖
He was scary just uttering a few lines.
Teremce Stamp should have won an Academy Award for this. He goes all the way in. This whole thing does not work if he's not hardcore all the way as Zod.
Zod : who is your Superior?
General: I answer ONLY to the President
Zod : AND HE WILL ANSWER TO ME!!
Good luck with biden he can snswer to himself
There is one who will not kneel before you....."Who Is this imbecile?" 😂😂😂😂😂
I wish I knew.
I don't know who he is, but I know he's a double amputee.
I like how the make-up, clothing, and hairstyles were still 80's even though they came from a different planet.
T.Stamp is a very skilled actor...he makes every scene believable
Terence Stamp absolutely owned this role. Probably my top villain depiction
Sheriff J. W. Pepper!!! Even he couldn't stop Zod 😂
He couldn't stop Bond so HOW would he be able to stop Zod??
3:00 Terence Stamp can't maintain his slightly posh Zod accent when he has to show anger, instead reverts back to his London accent!
"Oooo is this Supaman? Supaman! Come ter me! Cor blimey guvna! You bleedin slaaaaaag!"

Fucking amazing. Superman I and II were absolutely gems.
Superman 2 was the best movie
Yes!!! I watched it many times as a kid. Still love watching clips from the move. Timeless!!!!
Terrence Stamp's rolleyes game is top-tier.
"So this is Planet Houston... a very strange surface."
😂😂😂😂😂
Terence Stamp nailed the part so good it was iconic. The remake can top the special effects, but it can't touch his acting.
@0:37, Clifton James. He was a peace officer in 'Live and Let Die', 'The Man With the Golden Gun', 'Silver Streak', and 'Superman II' just for starters.
Yeah, I loved Clifton's role in James Bond!!!! What an hilarious sidekick he turned out to be!! hahahahah
Terrance is a brilliant actor
This general zod is my favorite.
Anche il mio
Your favourite what?
These old movies are so much better at making someone feel indestructible.
Zod was just misunderstood. He would have made a wise and kind ruler. Instead, he was murdered by Superman.
Terrance Stamp. One of a Kind.
Agreed. Fantastic in one of my favorite movies, The Hit. If you haven't seen it, check it out. From '84 with John Hurt and Tim Roth.
My brother and I are from Houston, and we still occasionally refer to it as "Planet Hoostin" to this day.
nice XD
And what leader do you follow??....And so be it, you will kneel to me as well. Pledge your loyalty to me and l will spare your town, Hoostin.
no one will ever top Stamps zod theres more to zod than flying..his acting is untouchable
I love the fact that despite the fact he's conquered another planet ( earth ) Zod becomes immediately disinterested and bored at just how easy it was to conquer and immediately wants a challenge .
I like the glow that flashes red like our Krypton sun, but not this irritating noise! Make way!

Um, everyone knows he says "First you, and then one day, your ASS!" 🙃
@chiefscheider3445 Yeah I know. Running joke for years.
I like Zod but I also like Non. His little squeaks when he tries to talk are priceless lol
This is my favourite Superman movie.
One of the best movie villains of all time
Man I love Superman II so much. Absolute classic !
Terrence Stamp is sooo good
Every villain from Crypton dressed like a Vidal Sassoon hair stylist.
Kneel before Zod...and I shall give you a relaxing shampoo before the cut.
Terence Stamp should have been a hell of lot more movies. He's great as the villian.
Strange thing is, he played mostly good guys. His debut was as Billy Bud which established him as a pretty boy actor. He definitely aged out of that by the time he was Zod. I think he would have been a great Thufir Hawat in Dune. Although I do like Stephen McKinley Henderson. Of course, if Stamp had been Thufir, Villanueve probably would have still cut him him out of Dune 2.
"Superman II" is STILL The Best Superman movie to this day.
sarah and terence were great with their characters. :) they are still great friends to this day!
Sara Douglas now as an old woman still got beauty♥️💕😘
I always loved how Zod was almost bored with his powers. Ursa openly embraced hers and Non was like a curious child at times.
I think Ursa by herself would have made a great world ruler. I loved the interaction with Gene Hackman.
Ursa is hotter than the Krypton sun!
“I see you are practiced in worshiping things that fly ? Good.”
Love it !

Unfortunately, Ian McKellen is the only magneto in the first 3 X-men movies, the Wolverine, and days of future past.

No.
"So, this is planet Housten" ... I like this movie.
It was like 5 years ago I learned this was Terrance Stamp. Legendary performance
Zod is such a tragic character. All he wanted was for them to kneel
Ikr. Is that too much to ask?
Zod is so majestic and yet so funny at the same time…..Terrence Stamp owned this role
Terence Stamp was so deliciously evil 🥰
3:04 I love how the cockney accent comes through when he's screaming into the microphone. 😆
Remember him in The Limey? "Tell him I'm coming! Tell him I'm FUC#ING COMINGGGGGG."

Yep! I'm convinced they know acting better than almost anyone else. :)
Watching this in the cinema in the early 80s was traumatic in the best possible way

Wow you are on the cusp I'm a cancerian too
I think it is the best one, a true one of a kind production with the best actors.
It is the best one,and the first major film that set the benchmark for fights between superheroes and villians.
I think you need to add the scene where they are banished to the Phantom Zone. "You will bow down before me Jor-El! Both you... and one day...your heirs!"
Jor-El? Our Gaoler? (Zod is a Brit so it has to be "Gaol")
He does the imperious, power drunk, entitled bad guy very well!
