Supergirl (1984) - Caravan of Garbage

[@takeshikovacks6708]

Fun fact: The VFX team wanted to make supergirl distinguishable from superman, so they decided to change the colour of her laser vision to blue, which lead to the working title of this film being Blue Harvest, which coincidentally was also the working title of the original Star Wars.

[@EnsignRedSquad]

Makes sense

[@EnsignRedSquad]

Blue Harvest. I feel like I have heard this before, for another movie.

[@hydrolito]

It was called heat vision and possible based on X-rays not laser. No Superman or Supergirl comic ever said Superman or Supergirl had laser vision I am aware of.

[@tvmoviemistress]

Well done.

[@kalroy1230]

I just watched her red heat vision give life to a flower. I looked for a KZbin video explaining the movie because it was so stupid, maybe its blue later in the movie, but first use is red

[@patientallison]

The reason they changed the costume was actually because manufacturing extra suits would have been two expensive. The blue dye used in the original suit was extraordinarily rare and it would have taken way too much labor to acquire, which is why the producers originally titled the film Blue Harvest, which coincidentally was the working title of the original Star Wars in 1977.

I think the "Honey" trilogy would make for excellent Caravan of Garbage fodder. The first one is still great, and the effects hold up for the most part. Diminishing returns thereafter; particularly with the third entry, the straight-to-video Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. Old-school Disney Channel dreck in all it's glory.
