Superman 2 (Superman II) fan edit: Repowering Scene with Superman Reveal.

[@thuydoan7496]

Amazing editing. This is exactly what would happen after Superman gets his power back. This scene was so important that it was left out in the movie. Thank you for letting us see it finally.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

I always thought that after Clark's powers were completely restored, we should have seen him stand up with a full shot of him back in the suit and fly straight out of the fortress, it would have been a very epic moment for the movie as a way of saying Superman is back and better than ever. Absolutely loved this, it feels much more complete.

[@arthurhill3454]

In superman iii when Evil Superman broke clark glasses was looking and same as superman ii richard donner cut When clark restore his power superman was looking like evil superman like in superman iii and his pain. Superman ii richard donner cut in new Dvd and the bluray when Clark Kent restore his power to be Superman again in the fortress of solitude from the Jorel of his father.

[@paulsmith9192]

@Jackal_El_Lobo34 so.how did his father give him back his powers?he told him u can't go back, but,he did.his father had a back up plan?

[@ArthurHILL-xp8bv]

In the Superman ii richard donner cut didn't show when the Clark Kent was restoring the power from the jorel. Jorel was restoring the Clark power and the Clark was restoring his into Superman again. But it didn't show when Clark Kent was restoring into the dvd when the Clark Kent became Superman suit in the scene. In Superman iii like evil superman was looking at the glasses and breaking the glasses and look at the sky. Hope the Superman ii revision scenes in the dvd & bluray to restoring the power from the Superman suit.

[@Halfstar3]

Dude, genius. Even the subtle cuts to remove the excess crap. I noticed. I liked. Plus, the transformation back into Superman? Superb. Hats off! 👏

[@bvswasgood2981]

This is EXACTLY how I would have done the scene if I was doing the Donner cut back in the day. My only bit of advice is that at 5:15 Superman looks a tad too big for his surroundings. If he's a bit smaller, I'm sure this would look 100% perfect. Good job with this edit and I can't wait to see the final complete project!

[@davidingram925]

This honestly looks amazing! Marlon Brando did amazing work on Superman (1978) and it was frustrating to see that he wasn't in the theatrical release of Superman II (1980) and it was great.

[@alucard624]

@@joaniekeyser4036 The Salkinds didn't want to pay Brando since he demanded 11% of the gross profits if Superman II was a hit so being the cheapskates they were they scrapped all his footage and replaced him with Susannah York instead. She did fine but I prefer Brando for continuity sake.

[@pierresavoie]

Very impressive, but I can see that scenes was taken from Superman 3. When Superman got his power back, you can see him breathing from relief, but this scene is from Superman 3 when evil Superman got rid of Clark in the conveyor. Only a true fan of Superman movies could see that.❤

[@alucard624]

True. Reeve was much older looking in Superman III but in some ways looks a lot like the classic Silver Age Curt Swan Superman from the comics at that point.

[@faneditedbybooshman]

Thanks for this comment, I appreciate it.

[@oktoberK]

@ You’re more than welcome. It’s weird I showed somebody the donner cut. They didn’t even know it existed. So the scene was fresh in my mind. I decided I wanted to see it again. Your edit is the perfect melding of the two cuts. I showed it to them and we both had tears in our eyes. Let me ask you something. We both think Superman three makes more sense with Donners cut then Lesters. What do you think?

[@faneditedbybooshman]

@@oktoberK I think Superman 3 probably makes more sense in a universe where the world wasn't taken over by aliens for a while. That said, it's no odd and a tonal shift, it doesn't really work as a direct sequel to either.

fantastic job. If I had a recommendation for any alteration, I'd use the Superman music from the original Movie, perhaps when he's taking off his clark kent clothes showing the S for the first time when he's running and saves Lois from the helicopter. That theme is so powerful, I feel the music in superman 2 (the NON-Williams) score, just doesn't have the same power... but great job on this edit. You're amazing.

[@fuNjiaa]

Wow. Incredible.

[@blofeld39]

This might sound silly, but have you ever thought of putting this in after Luthor starts waving his handkerchief at the villains and before Superman shows up on the flagpole? I feel like THAT might create more tension, that you don't know that Superman is coming when the villains are threatening life and limb to people in Perry White's office, and then IMMEDIATELY after the repowering, BAM!, Superman is there, triumphant -- I feel like that moment would just be THAT much more satisfying coming after the second death of Jor-El. Only thing I'd do would be to, in the fade back from white after he cries "Father!", have no Clark laying facedown on the platform -- so he's gone, immediately repowered, and shows up on the flagpole in Metropolis screen-seconds later. Like a JOLT. I think it'd work!:-)

[@faneditedbybooshman]

It would definitely be a different way to do it. The thing is working with the footage that's already there. I think to go that route we would need to split the walking to the fortress and arrival there. So cut from the daily planet to Clark walking into the fortress. The way the original footage is with the music and fades from one clip to the next it makes it very hard to reorganise it. With the raw footage definitely doable, but with it in its already edited state less feasable.

[@blofeld39]

@@faneditedbybooshman Rather than fade, you might want to just put a dramatic cue in into the shot of Clark's feet walking. Raise the music level, then *bum*, Clark in the Arctic. But I should probably familiarize myself with the cues available to see if there are any that's properly fit.

[@faneditedbybooshman]

@@blofeld39 By fades I mean the video footage is faded from one scene to the next as well as there is a music cue playing throughout. If the scene is chopped up you are limited by how the video is faded, and the music replacement then requires the rest of the audio to be rebuilt. It's one of those scenes that's really hard to try and undo how it's been edited without having the original elements available.

I have a question. Why didn't Lex Luthor and Eve Teshmacher die in Superman II? We're talking about the Fortress of Solitude. The security measures should have neutralized both of them because they're not from Krypton. Even if they didn't die, they shouldn't have been able to access the Krypton Database for the same reason. The Jor-El hologram should have detected that a Non Kryptonian was in the presence.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Love the smoothness of your editing style somewhat. But when editing a fan-edit of Superman II, i'd stick closer to the original Donner '77 shooting script and not feature Superman rising up after Jor-El revived his powers? I'd simply have Clark's body glowing on the ground and crackling with a faint energy through his body as the script highlights instead. Superman's shocking surprise return comes when he facing down General Zod, Ursa and Non in Metropolis! But this scene is from your cut and not mine so i still appreciate it, for what it is though. So well done in that regard at the very least.

[@faneditedbybooshman]

This edit is definitely beautiful and perfect up until the switchover to the Superman costume. It does seem like for drama and suspense, the best way to end the repowering is for Clark to collapse in a cloud of dust or beams of light.

As heartofalegend points out there are shots from Superman 3, all the ones from being lay down to getting up. The wide shot when fully restored is from Superman 2. The take-off is from Superman the Movie. Flying from the fortress is from part 3 again, then the first film for the over the shoulder and flying at camera shots, then back to 3 for the last shot. All these shots have new backgrounds pieced together from various shots of the fortress from the two versions of Superman 2, with elements moved or painted out. The last 3 shots use footage from the Clint Eastwood movie Firefox. There are also 2 shots that were horizontally flipped, so I had to flip Superman's \S/ back to it's proper orientation.
