[@philv2529]

you forgot a sin. The crowd yells, "They killed Superman. Let's GET HIM!" instead of, "They killed Superman. HOLY SHIT RUN!"

[@OmniscientWarrior]

+Phil V If they are dumb enough to think Superman died from that, they are dumb enough to think they can kill those that killed Superman

[@blackSUAAAVE]

Lol. Yeah, they kicked Superman's ass, but we humans can take them!!

[@that6thgen_2ss35]

You would be amazing at cinema sins!

[@mrmeerkat1096]

Phil V LOL, that's exactly what would happen. They would be outta there!!!

[@michellemckillop5712]

The three bad guys didn’t technically want to kill the humans, for crying out loud! It’s almost laughable, in fact, that they went after the villains with bats , pretty much! Haha. Not to mention, if they had, in fact, killed Superman, do these dummies really think they stand a chance?! I’m on the side of the humans but, come on. They might as well have gone after those 3 with pencils or feathers. That would be about as effective:) but can we all agree that that sequence of the 3 of them blowing those people was pretty great! This is the best Superman movie. And he wins in the end;) yay

[@chaoticcanyon2081]

Although not released in theaters, The Richard Donner Cut deserves a fair shake and would receive fewer "sins" because it removes a lot of the odd superpowers, silly comedic moments, and has Brando to fill in missing gaps and makes an explanation of Superman's regained powers. Love that DVD. Donner comes out to talk about what you're going to see, calls you "friends" because if you bought the DVD it means you care the same way he does about this amazing and beloved superhero! 🥰

[@HepCatJack]

Neil, before Zod. They never explained who Neil was and why he gets to go first.

[@anthonyx9481]

[@maxinewatermaker6162]

Neil Young before Zod Powderfinger, the back up rhythm guitar player for Crazy Horse

[@DbzDirectioner]

😂😂😂😂 Man this is the funniest comment in this hole section. You deserve A Sin Off.

[@NJGuy1973]

Neil Breen. Zod can't hurt Neil Breen. Breen eliminated 300 million humans. In human terms, he killed them all.

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

Vince Neil. Surname starts with N, so he's on the food line before General Dru Zod, whose surname starts with Z. Hence, Neil before Zod.

[@luvmenow33]

Kneel before ZOD! Pretty awesome line , even tho he says it over and over. Terrance Stamp is amazing in everything he's in.

[@noahheninger]

Need to add Superman whispering to Lex Luther when Zod has super hearing makes no sense.

[@mimimalignant]

Superman also has super whispering.

[@matthewhudson7883]

I think that was part of Superman's plan to make himself look stupid so Zod would believe he had the upper hand and Kal'El had no options left. I could be wrong though and the screenwriters were just that dumb.

[@girlsguitarsgardens]

[@lucasoheyze4597]

Erm, he WANTED Zod to hear, same as he wanted Luthor to betray him.

[@jaythomas3224]

I thought that as a kid

[@Whoknowsuknow]

It was so much better with Jor-El giving Superman his powers back. He sacrificed himself for his son, so it was a touching moment as well.

[@sinister0077]

Best line not shown here: "Why do you say this to me, when you know I will kill you for it?"

[@stewsretroreviews]

I agree here 100%, me and my brother used to say it to each other all the time back in the day😆

[@aaronlusanko6356]

[@reedr7142]

[@coltsfan69]

I can't stop laughing at Superman stealing two hot dogs...ILMFAO

[@frankorozcojr.5362]

When I was 7 or 8 years old, ABC showed Superman II during its Sunday Night Movie feature and I swear that there was an added scene where Superman steals the hot dogs, then realizes that he's SUPERMAN, and turns around and leaves a few bucks there. I may be mistaken though. Maybe my 7 year old mind couldn't fathom my favorite hero being a thief! :)

[@marleystevenson134]

+Frank Orozco, Jr. I've seen that version.

[@Phaota]

Thanks for bringing that up. I recall that scene as well.

[@coltsfan69]

+Frank Orozco, Jr. i didn't see hom leave money

[@brendabreazeale8991]

actually, in a deleted scene a very long time ago, when Kent grabbed those hot dogs, he turns and walks away and realizes he didnt pay, he snaps his fingers and turns and drops a few bucks on the counter

[@Fukushima_Akira]

"Who is this imbecile?" - That line is hilarious lol

[@blackSUAAAVE]

Yeah, that was funny. It would've been even funnier if Superman had the bad timing and showed up and said 'I am that imbecile....no, wait. That's not what I meant!

He hinted at it during the opening credits

[@robertlewis2774]

The 2nd biggest sin?Composer Ken Thorne's horrible, butchering of John Williams beautiful score from the 1st Super Man movie.

[@mr.timebombman2230]

Yep. I think Richard Lester made it too reliant on the comedic aspect. Which is even more apparent in Part 3.

[@SIKE01]

EPIC SIN

[@matthewcastillo9951]

I still think this was the best Superman of all.

[@filimongalogavros5301]

Kneel Before Zod . This line is epic , although Superman is an iconic hero .

[@fife007]

that's how Superman is going to defeat Batman by throwing his symbol at him!

[@lalitoborrego2860]

or by showing batman superman 4 the quest for peace

[@chris__10]

ha ha! That symbol-throwing was sucky in retrospect.

[@user-ow9rv5hx6c]

Yeah😂😂😂

[@davidscott9500]

+fife007 - When I was 8 years old I thought "throwing the Superman symbol" was awesome. Then I turned 9 and realized it made zero sense. Also, the hologram Superman made even less sense. And if the hologram power alone wasn't bad enough, they had him say a line in the theatrical cut that he used to play a hologram game as a kid, and that he never was very good at it. (?) I mean, did the screenwriter forget for a moment that Superman didn't grow up on Krypton? So Superman and the other Superkids used to play tag using holograms? God, this movie was sooooooo lame.

I wonder how many people died while Superman went back to challenge a bully he started the fight with the first time

[@Webber-sr3xk]

The Fortress of Solitude is pretty much like the Batcave, in there Superman keeps his uniform, the city of Kandor, statues of his parents, the ship he came in to earth, his diary, his robots serves, a kriptonian battlesuit, an alien zoo, a lab, Krypto, the columbia space shuttle, the Titanic, a sun eating monster, a Anti-bizarro ray, the red sun chamber, the phantom zone projector, the legion of superheroes ring, a dinosaur sculpture, alien guns, Supergirl room, his trophy room and a large key

[@raykhamis933]

Actually Superman would be stronger than all three combined. He’s had more time to absorb nourishment from the sun.

[@kevinshea7547]

And since they were in prison for an act of terrorism, they should have been escaping from a heavily fortified death row as well.

[@hydrolito]

Others cost more money and she did not make that much Lex Luthor likes to keep most of the money for himself. Why she didn't just get a job somewhere else also did not make sense and how did she forgot Lex tried to kill her family in first Superman movie?

[@APRICEPRODUCTION]

The green car driving on the wrong side of the road, is due to an extended deleted scene in Superman The Movie... when Lex Luthor flips the car over remotely, to set the scene for the fake car accident with Eve Teschmacher... in the extended deleted scene.... Otis was remote controlling the car, and Lex Luthor says to him... "Otis are you from England? Otis replies no Mr Luthor" Lex responds why are you driving on the left side of the road" right before snatching it off Otis. It was stock footage from the first film used again for that scene in Superman II.

[@2bituser569]

APRICEPRODUCTION pretty cheap they couldn’t film a new car driving on right side lol

[@SciFiFan2012]

I didn't know they were that cheap to reuse footage from an extended and DELETED scene lol

[@Anvilshock]

Or at least fucking flip the film. There's practically nothing (except perhaps the place of the license plate) in any of the frames that would indicate it was flipped.

There actually was a boy who went over the falls around the time this movie was made. He was fishing with his dad and sister when their boat got caught in the current. Dad and daughter made it to shore but the boy missed the shore and went over. He survived and was rescued by a maid of the mist ship. That story is everywhere in Niagara Falls even today. Superman is not mentioned.

[@HeartBDoctor]

Another thing. If Luthor used Kryptonite on Superman in the first movie, then why didn't Luthor think of keeping Kryptonite with him around Zod, Ursa, and Non? It would have been his strongest defense against them, so why didn't Luthor keep any?

[@dmj-ju9zx]

Not to mention Lois Lane looking way younger than she ever did in previous films.

[@tiberiushazo6326]

darkstar100x I’d never heard that he said that before. Why not just make it it’s own thing? I mean it doesn’t really seem like there’s anything from Superman Returns that directly relates to those first two movies that aren’t in the comic books or anything. It could easily be its own movie.

+Asad the great not all of them were yellow

[@asadb1990]

Kuroki Tomoko agreed but that would be nitpicking. the kryptonians must have travelled to 100s of planets which in turn would have meant that lot of suns along the way. Plus don't all suns emit energy albeit at different wavelengths.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="775">12:55</a> _"I never thought this thing would go the distance" - If Zod, Ursa, and Non all attacked Superman together, it wouldn't have._ I guess it's just Lex's curse to always be surrounded by nincompoops

[@dudedysseus]

I just watched this, and you guys were WAY too kind to this movie. There's a bunch more sins: 1. Why does the entire council say "guilty" if the first guy was able to speak for the council? You don’t need to get every juror’s personal opinion when the spokesman says they find the defendant guilty. 2. The French people speak English to each other and French to Lois Lane 3. How the crap does Clark WALK his suit on? 4. You can’t have an explosion in space. No oxygen. 5. Zod shouldn’t be able to talk on the moon. No air, no sound. 6. Chick obviously deliberately walks into Clark in the chief editor’s office, since she turns around with plenty of room to see him. 7. How do you build a hologram emitter in prison? 8. Where did Luthor and the girl come up with the coats when they were flying around in the hot hair balloon? And how did they get to the Fortress of Solitude in a hot air balloon in two days? 9. Zod totally used the Force to take that guy’s gun. 10. WEIRDLY specific instructions about explosions or whatever freeing Zod from prison. And why did they build the prison with that weakness in the first place? 11. Superman is clearly not flying Lois at supersonic speeds, so how do they get to the Fortress of Solitude in whatever amount of time the do? 12. How do the villains instinctively know exactly what powers they have the first time they use them? 13. Where did Lois’s hot nightgown come from? 14. What are the random silver hand-lasers? 15. How did Superman know he could rig the de-Supermanizer to work outside the box when he just found out about the thing? 16. HOW THE CRAP CAN SUPERMAN INDUCE AMNESIA. 17. Why does Superman take his meal to go if the whole point was that the dude was sitting in his favorite seat? 18. Superman straight-up tries to murder Lex by leaving him at the Fortress of Solitude. 19. Why does no one search for Lex after he's broken out of prison? How does no one recognize him and arrest him again? 20. Clothes and capes should not be flapping in space like there's wind. Probably more, but I didn't write them down as I watched the movie, only as your video reminded me of them. Negative sins: - 1. There’s the sound of Clark putting coins down on the hot dog stand. - 2. Since the branch is buoyant, it’ll keep Lois afloat instead of going underwater.

[@dudedysseus]

+Idazmi7 1. Good point, but the fact that the guy says something like "The council has no hesitation in declaring you guilty" or whatever indicates that the vote already IS unanimous. And if he's just speaking for himself and still needs everyone's vote, then he shouldn't say "the council" like he's speaking for all of them. 4. Oh, snap. Didn't know that. 7. Yeah, but Tony was actually given resources and tools. What did Lex have to work with? 9/14. Oh. Well, it was still random. We never see it before other than for flying, and no one would guess that's what was actually causing it. 15. Ehhhhh . . . you seem to be a greater authority on Superman than I am, so I guess I have to take your word for this, but . . . he's never struck me as a genius. 16. Yeah, but seriously . . . how. 17. Okay.

[@1theemaxx]

4. Yes, you can have nuclear explosions in space. They actually outlawed it due to concerns about effects on the atmosphere and, you know, radiation. 7. Because he's Lex Frikkin' Luthor, Criminal Genius.

[@cabellero1120]

David J. McGee You certainly caught a Lot about Superman! This was 1 of my Favorite movies growing up...Now that I'm older, i can see flaws and inconsistencies. You didn't mention that Zod and company were dressed like something out of Eastern European pornography! Why the low cut outfits ...even on the guys? Why do they have British accents if they came from a far off galaxy in deep space? How could they talk in outer space...no oxygen....no atmosphere... An explosion in outer space? Even so, it would have taken at least 70 years or so for the crystal phantom zone prison to shatter! Why was the moon the first rock they landed on? Why did they draw energy from the Earth....a planet Very Different from Krypton!!

[@LordZontar]

According to Kryptonian law, the council verdict had to be unanimous. In the first movie, Jor-El was the last member of the council to pass the verdict - doing so by activating the Phantom Zone portal.

[@gtametro]

The Richard Donner cut of this movie is so much better. If you haven't seen the Donner cut I recommend it for any Superman fan.

[@callofthehackfraud3427]

+RetroResto true very true

[@colliric]

The scenes with Brando where better than anything anyone could have ever hoped or expected prior to the '06 release. Almost justified his $10 million dollar paycheck alone in that holo-death scene.

[@PaperbackWizard]

It's definitely better, but it still has all the "major" things wrong with it that people say are wrong with "Man of Steel", including Superman fighting in a crowded city and killing Zod.

[@jeepthing98]

I have this version on DVD and it's great except instead of Clark tripping into the firepit at Niagara, Lois shoots him (with blanks) to see how he reacts. But that scene is so obviously out of continuity with the movie as it was filmed during S1 and neither look aged correctly. Chris Reeve looks 15lbs smaller too.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

But if I remember correctly, he didn't say "care to step outside" to Zod in that version. Lolol.

[@tomkerruish2982]

With Superman's reflexes, there's no way he could accidentally stumble and fall into the fireplace. Intentionally stumble to keep up the Clark Kent act, sure. Fall into the fireplace, perhaps a desire to be found out. Also, for talking on the moon, Superman (and so other Kryptonians) has super-ventriloquism. No, seriously.

[@SomeGuyNamedJason]

Super ventriloquism allows him to throw his voice to where he wants, sure, but it still requires an atmosphere for the sound to travel through, which does not exist on the moon.

[@nowthatsjustducky]

@@SomeGuyNamedJason I would retcon that to give them the ability to "send" telepathically. Their lips moving as they do would be like how some people move their lips when reading quietly.

[@davidgee2988]

So which is worse, those astronauts still sitting up there on the moon dead and looking like those dead astronauts in Gravity, or Superman giving the diner bully a shattered hand and fractured skull?

[@Filthy_Larry]

Superman probably thought it be better to leave them there. No one wants to see their friend or relative with their eyes and tongue protruded.

[@TakaNoSasuke]

I loved these movies as a child, mostly because my father and Christopher Reeve could've been twins. Basically grew up secretly hoping dad was Superman.

I'm really surprised you didn't DING it for the bad guys talking on the moon ABOUT ATMOSPHERE despite the moon having none. You know, that medium necessary for the transmission of sound waves, yadda yadda?

"General Zod and his minions can talk in space." -DING

[@SeekTheLight]

When Superman is hit with the man hole cover and lands on the car, you can see the metal clip that holds/attaches the man hole cover to Superman.

[@caatcher]

They were filming exterior Daily Planet scenes at the New York Daily News building when the 1977 blackout hit, and there was Christopher Reeve in his Superman suit. All the onlookers were good-naturedly telling him to fly off and fix the power grid. He took it in very good humor.

[@RolloDescendant]

"Where the heck have you been for the last two hours???" I dunno somewhere watching the Superman opening credits I think xD

[@doubledamn2599]

Wouldn't Superman instantly get a bunch of human diseases that his Kryptonian biology would have no way of combating once he de-powers?

[@jimwalker7569]

In theory, he was exposed to them, and possibly could have built up an immunity.

[@doubledamn2599]

Jim Walker Its been stated before that Superman's powers make him immune to all earthly pathogens, because his powers overpower the disease before it can affect his system. No powers means that he doesn't have that defence anymore. You could argue that the since they were in the Arctic that the extreme weather conditions killed off all pathogens, and that the Fortress of Solitude 'cleanses' any humans that enter, but that wouldn't matter once he got back to America.

[@openend100]

+Jayden Dove batman figured this out and cured him before superman could become sick because he's batman and that's how he be.

[@baqcasanke]

that's what i thought. He should have gotten the flu or TB

[@vorshack8968]

[@JJs_playground]

Sin: how was Zod able to talk and make sound on the moon. You need air molecules to do that. There's no air on the moon.

[@JESL_TheOnlyOne]

There's no such thing as a molecule of air. Air is a mixture, not a compound.

[@umagnus77]

After seeing the Donner cut, my answer for superman having extraordinary powers while fighting Zod and his crew in the fortress of solitude is that Jor-EL gave Clark the last of his powers, giving him a slight boost from his original powers

[@paradoxzee6834]

+Anomander82 Well people cant fly, see thru walls, shot lasers from they eyes (I know its heat vision), lift a truck with one hand. AND YOU ARE SUPRISED HOW THEY CAN TALK IN SPACE?

[@coolnerdlll6053]

Anomander82 It's like in the opening of Quest for Peace where Superman talks in space, because they have powers. But, then again, Zod, Ursa, and Non don't have powers yet, so I digress.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

The problem is that sound works by traveling through a medium (for human purposes, this medium is usually air), but the vacuum of space lacks a medium for the sound waves to travel through, so they can't reach anyone else. It isn't because PEOPLE can't do it, it's because SOUND can't do it that it's still weird that they can talk on the moon. Talking in space is akin to making ripples in a puddle and expecting those ripples to effectively reach a different puddle 10 meters away, or trying to blow in the face of someone on the other side of a solid wall.

Zod is talking on the moon. Did I miss something or does the moon now have an atmosphere?

it took a year to come up with a worthwhile response to this but here is my answer: zod makes the space kneel before him therefore giving him his own atmosphere which also kneels before him.
