It's so incredible that, even with horribly developed and preposterously orchestrated scenes to play-out, Reeve still infuses Superman with nobility and humanity.
Ironically, if these scenes had been left in back then it would have made the film even worse, yet putting them back in today would make it even better.
You know what's crazy? There was an episode of Power Rangers in Space, where Carlos took a little girl into outer space, and she didn't have a space suit on.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 True, but it also made sense. Supposedly, the first superman doppleganger was either based on Bizarro, or was supposed to be him. It did make sense, though, if you look at it from a different perspective. Lex made a "Bizarro" made with Superman's own physical attributes. The first time you make something, it usually comes out fk'd up. It seems like they wanted to show a progression from test 1 (Bizarro) to test 2 (Nuclear Man), and fixing what went wrong with the first attempt. The first one was trash, but the second one was refined, and tore Supe's ass asunder (for a bit).
I'm tempted to take these deleted scenes and infuse them back into Superman IV. There's a logo on this one, but if I could find them elsewhere without it, I could clean up the black marks scrolling across the screen, bounce up the audio [quite] a bit, Remaster all of the deleted scenes to match the quality of the theatrically released film, and a little color grading. Problem is, I don't know where I could legally post the video, or what restrictions YT has. But BOY would I tackle this!

Warner has been saying for years that the footage is lost, but they also said all of Donner's footage for Superman II was lost before they made the Donner Cut ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@outatime2254 From what I heard it has to do with copyright issues with the songs that play in the scenes but they should just release it without the songs if that's the case...
@@TheDudeOfSteel87 they do have that awful Nuclear Man temp track that they used in the other deleted scenes' release, I'm sure they can use it again! 😂
Golan/Globas insisted that the movie be cut to 90 minutes. Their logic: Disney movies were 90 minutes so movies for kids had to be 90 minutes. They also kept cutting the production budget due to financial problems.
I remember those particular scenes being in it also, same as you remember. As well as the scene where Superman takes Lenny to Boys Town, that was in it as well. As far as I recall, that was all part of the movie's plot and I believe the wiki page for the movie even lists those scenes in the plot description for the movie. The only cut content that I was ever aware of was the "Bizarro" scenes, a club scene where Clark Kent and Lacy went dancing, and a scene of Clark visiting his foster parents' graves. The rest is definitely news to me.
Any scene with "Bizarro" is terrible. It's good that it got cut out. But there are some other scenes that could have been in the theatrical cut. The director cut too much out.
I thought these scenes were lost forever. I'm not sure if they would have made the final film any better, but at least it would have felt more complete. I love the remark that Lex made about the new tabloid format of the Planet. It definitely should have been in the final cut of the film. When the most evil man on earth thinks your new version of the newspaper sucks, you should know you did something wrong!
This was very well done, wow! I made an edit years ago called Quest For Coherence, attempting to reconstruct the full 134-minute cut. I had limited ability to remove the temp music and goofy sound effects. I have a version 2 in the works. Would you be willing to share your edit of the deleted scenes audio track, prior to adding music and sound effects?
It's kind of funny when Superman tells Lex after dropping him off at the prison, "See you in 20 years Luthor." Superman returns, the next film starring Brandon Routh in the role came out about 19 years later.
Superman's vow to never interfere with the destiny of Earth doesn't make any sense because every time he saves someone or prevents a disaster, he is interfering with the destiny of the planet and the destiny of the people he saves. Plus in the first movie, he TURNED BACK TIME to interfere with Lois' destiny to prevent her from dying.
That turn back the clock sequence was intended for the end of the second film, but Donner basically cut ties with the producers and he shoehorned that sequence into the first movie, already knowing he would never complete the second himself. Much of Donner's already shot footage for Superman II was used in the Richard Lester-directed sequel.
It would have been better to if he had said, "If I interfere how the governments of the world run things, I would have to become the dictator of the world."
This looks even worse than the actual end result. I never quite got how even these scriptwriters thought that the audience would not scratch their heads at Superman taking Lacey and the kid in these clips into space for a tour of Earth from space when of course there would be no air for them to breath.
25:13 In *Superman IV (1987) "See you in twenty." quote* needs to be fully restored because *he meant was "see you after 20 yrs." so 20 yrs. later Superman Returns (2006) was released to the world.*
These scenes were cut by the director. Also, the 3-hour TV cut of Superman: The Movie WAS NOT Richard Donner's originally intended vision. It was the Salkinds. The 2001 Special Edition however is Donner's full intended cut.
Even the 2001 Special Edition, with all the replaced sound effects, was not what Donner wanted. In an interview, he was surprised to hear from the interviewer that sound effects were replaced and mistakes made in the soundtrack. I question whether he really reviewed the 2001 Special Edition cut at all.
If you can post the extended flying sequence (with the Fresh Air music track) with Superman and Lois that would be great also! I have seen the tornado and Russian missile completed scenes, which have been released internationally and in U.S.A. television versions.
That first Nuclear Man should have been taken out. Good lord that is horrible. I’ve watched better quality cartoons. How do you go from general zod to that? Brutal.
I guess the part where Clark is dying was considered too disturbing to show, might have been a good idea though, to show people what radiation poisoning is like.
@@retrobiggy Now that's debatable. Seeing as Nuclearman was created using Superman's DNA, it would be reasonable to assume that Nukes would also be vulnerable to kryptonite; though as far as we know his only vulnerability is the absence of sunlight. Then again: Lex Luthor's cutters would have needed to have kryptonite blades to be able to cut through Superman's hair strand at the museum, so perhaps there is a small amount of kryptonite in Nuclearman's DNA.
@Aurochhunter I swear as a kid there was a bit where lex talks about kryptonite. It may have been in the comic adaptation of the film. I dunno lol. Him dying of the poisoning either way is uber evil. Would be nice to see it cleaned up and restored.
Sorry! Superman could NEVER hit a baseball out into space using a bat! The amount of force necessary to do that would shatter the bat and ball on contact. It would be like a miniature explosion.
All I remember about S IV was that it was a terrible movie. Whatever they were shooting for, it was a complete miss. Still, Chris Reeves was the best Superman.
Oh how sad.🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️ There was just no hope for this movie. Poor Christopher Reeve. After the first two movies were so good, parts 3 & 4 were just abysmal. Such a shame.
This movie hurt me seeing SUPERMAN 4 in theaters when I was a teenager now seeing more of what could have been angers me, so many want to see this movie back in a better cut I think if we keep letting the money men who hold sway over this unfinished film know how we feel about this movies future plus the exceptional people who are working for free to get visuals upgraded and a better cut will come together and all work on and salvage CHRISTIFER REEVES dream of the man of steels fourth adventure.
Why the f**k was that last scene deleted? look at our planet today...we could really do with that kind of thinking today.... we are all the same planet!!
You left a few deleted scenes out. The tornado scene, russian missile about to take off scene and the nightclub scene are missing. The tornado and russian missile scenes are on the extras section in the Superman IV DVD. I've never seen the nightclub scene, but I know it exists. I have the Superman IV comic where it includes the deleted scenes. The audio commentary track on the Superman IV DVD gives a good explanation of the things that went wrong with this movie, mainly the budget cuts, which is why it is not as good as the others.
so much makes more sense now. though i can understand why they cut it back in the 80s, it helps the plot significantly no matter how poor the quality was.
It's better without these scenes. There are a couple of nice parts that could have been kept in, but the majority of this was pure cheese that was luckily left out of the theatrical version.
When I read about the first Nuclear Man, it sounded okay and so I wondered why they cut it. After watching this I can see why. Why on earth did they make him a simpleton? That whole sequence is terrible- but then again the whole film is pretty diabolical. I enjoy watching it just for how bad it is and how lousy the effects are. I hope Gene Hackman got a good cheque.
I don’t know, why did they make Bizarro a simpleton in the comics? The movie may not be great, but it’s not exactly far off from the kind of story they were doing in the Bronze Age, leaps in logic included.
@@axebomber2108 To be fair: if Bizarro starts out perfectly smart, but then he sees and feels as he starts to degenerate mentally, that would've been an awesome sci-fi-horror-element in an intelligent movie.
The movie was a disaster regardless but if baffles me why hey cut some of these scenes (nightmare sequence, Clark dying for instance). It’s a shame they made the first nuclear man sequence such a joke. I’m glad it got cut even thought I liked some of the fight sequence
I remember reading the novelization of this then seeing the movie about a week later . I was wondering where half the stuff I read went as I had no idea about editing . I was even more confused when I picked up the magazine of the movie and saw photos of the scenes. It was then that I realized there was a reason the movie I saw seemed a little choppy.
Well done… This movie has a much better heart than the third Chris Reeves film but, poor old Chris got screwed by budget with the film company at the time. The story and the heart was there… imagine it if they hadn’t halved the budget…
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 I think the 3rd one lost the seriousness of number 1 and 2 that Richard Donnor had invested. I would have loved to see what would have happened if Richard did number 3 too.
@@wobind72 Bear in mind when Richard Lester came in for Superman 2, he made it already more goofy. There were good things about Superman 3 like Superman vs Superman and that big computer. I choose to believe that the robot woman was sort of a Metallo version. Ideally Donner would have done them all.
It's so incredible that, even with horribly developed and preposterously orchestrated scenes to play-out, Reeve still infuses Superman with nobility and humanity.
Because he is The Last Son Of Krypton.

The movie was a disaster regardless but if baffles me why hey cut some of these scenes (nightmare sequence, Clark dying for instance). It’s a shame they made the first nuclear man sequence such a joke. I’m glad it got cut even thought I liked some of the fight sequence
The Tom and Jerry style music really help the suspense
The deleted scenes would have made the movie much better
The teacher let her English accent slip when superman walks to Jeremy.
I remember reading the novelization of this then seeing the movie about a week later . I was wondering where half the stuff I read went as I had no idea about editing . I was even more confused when I picked up the magazine of the movie and saw photos of the scenes. It was then that I realized there was a reason the movie I saw seemed a little choppy.
Even though Jeremy in space is absolutely bunkers, the message was beautiful. No borders. We're all the same beings on one planet.
That's Called Globalism
You can see that aspect of earth without going into space. It could be edited so the background plate is switched to the sky instead of space
Well done… This movie has a much better heart than the third Chris Reeves film but, poor old Chris got screwed by budget with the film company at the time. The story and the heart was there… imagine it if they hadn’t halved the budget…
Third movie was pretty good
@@johnnyskinwalker4095Superman 3 was my favorite one it’s good to me like Howard the Duck is one of my favorite movies
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 I think the 3rd one lost the seriousness of number 1 and 2 that Richard Donnor had invested. I would have loved to see what would have happened if Richard did number 3 too.
@@wobind72 Bear in mind when Richard Lester came in for Superman 2, he made it already more goofy. There were good things about Superman 3 like Superman vs Superman and that big computer. I choose to believe that the robot woman was sort of a Metallo version. Ideally Donner would have done them all.
Lex big problem in this movies series was lack of patience. If he would have waited, trained , and been patient , he could have won every time.
This was a very massage about you have to save your world from nuclear weapons from the wars
As bad as this movie is, and it is bad, I'd rather watch this than the Snyderverse!
