Superman 2 - General Zod on the Moon

Superman 2 Richard Donner cut

[@roc5291]

All 3 actors for the Kryptonians are perfect for their roles. Non is the quiet, stupid brute that is a physical power house. Ursa is deceptively beautiful and soft spoken, cold and calculating, until she comes in contact with man and then she is a force of nature. And Zod is the commanding, confident, eloquent leader who’s always planning 3 steps ahead. Love the cast of these films.

The whole lander looked like it was trying to launch. Normally, the control module on top launches, leaving the landing gear section behind. But maybe the "Artemis" mission was different from the Apollo landers. :)

[@AudieHolland]

Yeah, it was more realistic than the 'real one.' Note that it had a tripod landing gear configuration. Also, note that the flame from the lander's rocket engine is also more intense and longer lasting than what we saw 'in reality.'

[@NMFILMPRODUCTIONS]

This scene always made me feel really bad for the astronauts

[@NewNicator]

The astronaut should have been able to take off the module without problems, since the guy grabbed the descent stage (bottom part), whereas the ascent stage (top part) is meant to detach from it. But for some reason the whole vessel is trying to lift off lol. 1:46
