He was a general back on Krypton so it wouldn’t be the first time he’s used guns. But it is his first time using a human gun, and he obviously knows how to use it.

[@Biscuit1973]

Yes, I’ve seen this entire movie in theaters about 40 years ago because I remembered when General Zod and his men or woman attacked the White House because I remember the scene when General Zod taken a full automatic assault rifle and then was firing it inside of the White House because decades later when I watched it on a VHS cassette tape, that scene was not included in the video.

[@Cheez_Doodlezz]

The fact that the this fight scene has no music or dialogue makes it so badass

[@thylacinethetigerwolf1372]

0:12..his backing up posture...was on point...probably the coolest nonclant laid movement in this whole scene..the swagger of kool was truly placed in this performance..

[@fcharrua]

Oh God... No no no no, it's pronounced Zod.

[@MONTAGUEN]

I knew there was more to this scene!I’ve seen Superman 2 a million times and only remember seeing this uncut scene once on ABC when I was young and never seen it again until now 👍🏾😁

[@jamesnoble3502]

I find it weird that the 1980s TV edits of this movie had some Donner scenes

[@jujitsuman9934]

The M-60, bazooka and sandbags in the white house has always been funny to me 😂

[@0428733]

This scene made Zod, the soft spoken yet threathening shakesperian delivery, the nuanced humor. Heck, the largest and meanes character is at his command.

[@brainloading5543]

Man of steel : armors and badass weapons Superman Original: *straight up pajamas*

[@vincentmartinez8241]

Terrence Stamp with a machine gun is the greatest thing since sliced bread!!!

[@lpdog82]

all those bullets and bazooka shells going off in the next room and the president and all his staff are just sitting and standing there on the other side of the door😆

[@terrytragianopoulos9345]

Terence Stamp just kills it in this movie he is so badass I could listen to him for hours I wish they had made some kind of sequel with him starring as this character

[@JunguianPhantom]

"oh God" "Zod" That exchange always hits me with laughter

[@joshgore8256]

As a boy when I saw this I was in awe of the whole movie, seeing Ursa is when I fell in love with dark themed women

[@listentothenightfilms]

Ursa the kind of girl you've got to work on awhile before the walls come down. I for one am optimistic.

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

Zod 😁ing for his glamour portrait in the White House while squeezing off an M-16 at paper army men before forcing the president to "kneel before Zod" & immasculating the males in the Oval Office. Among the greatest super villain scenes in modern film history for the sheer pulp & lack of CGI eye candy alone!

[@cgh7337]

0:59 Wow....Zod (Terrence Stamp) looks like a complete & total psychopath w/ that gun.

[@mjb12ification]

After Ursa rips off the military officer’s ribbons which was a deleted portion from the film, that explains why he was holding the left side of his chest after the real president stepped forward to kneel before Zod. 2:55 And later when Lex Luthor appears you can see Ursa wearing the ribbons on her waist.

[@wilder11]

This scene is pretty goofy, but I LOVE how General Zod starts using a rifle when he gets his hands on one. I think most writers would've opted for him NOT to pick up a human weapon, perhaps to reinforce that god-like quality, or perhaps Zod would think himself above such a thing. But I love this detail of him choosing to try out a human firearm. Not only is it hilarious in a meta sense, but it actually shows a piece of Zod's character. He's curious about this new world, but we've seen that already. No, it shows his affinity for violence, his love for it. He's not the worthy king he sees himself as, but a a bully - or a THUG. He rules purely by violence and has a cruel streak, shown in him using the humans' weapons against them, even when he doesn't need to. Pretty cool, that little moment. It's part of why Zod is so memorable as a villain, even today.

[@iowa_lot_to_travel9471]

Blasters, so uncivilized. - Obi-Wan Kenobi😅

[@seanbraley2772]

I thought it made perfect sense for him to pick it up on there home world they don’t have super strength or heat vision they are “normal” soldiers they would need weapons to fight and wall they are advanced when it comes to technology some thing are universal if you have a human like hand the weapon will more then likely have a grip and a trigger so when they use it he sees what it is and by useing it he gets a feel for how they would use it

[@flossietube2065]

President: Kneels and says, "oh God!" General Zod: "That's Zod!"

[@JorgeRodriguez-po7kx]

Best Movie of the Four Definitely My favorite and at 1:12 Ursa Aren't She Beautiful 😂❤

[@the9-2-5outlawgamer]

General Zod should say to President, “Now… In a circular motion, rub your stomach and pat your head while saying the phrase “rubber buggy baby bumpers” before Zod!”

[@AndersonNeo12]

"Oh god..." ".. Zod" lol ps.: Zod is trolling here 0:39

[@cabbotsanders1103]

AndersonNeo12 my parents taught me to hone my senses

[@alucard624]

He was trolling before it was even a thing.

[@ciaranoconnell4783]

I'm trying to imagine Trump's reaction if this happened to him.

[@keeganduncan578]

Ciaran O'Connell Space wall

[@BoyKagome]

"....I'm out.'

[@julyprince3285]

HE WOULD THROW MELANIA IN FRONT OF HIM

[@srb9]

Trump resigns, Pence deals with Zod.

[@dennistheconstitutionalpea6174]

He would impulsively insult Zod then he would be zapped with Zod's laser vision, which, let's face it, wouldn't be the worst thing to happen.

[@BoyKagome]

Now THAT!...is how Zod is meant to be played.

[@damone70]

@L Well, you're probably 12 and are impressed with laughable, over the top performances, CGI effects, and chaotic explosions (btw, all too divert attention away from the weak story telling and shit acting).

[@lkvideos7181]

+Justin B It was really not.

[@IslandBoy-808]

L .Shannon is garbage and couldn't act for shit. You just think he's a better Zod because of all the CGI bullshit.

[@IslandBoy-808]

Justin B . So you're basing it on the new comics. In other words, you know nothing.

[@robbyreynolds9290]

@DragonBat362 Ding, Ding. Yes, this is exactly. The subtly is lost on this current generation.

[@Raven.flight]

Sarah Douglas as Ursa, my god she rocked that outfit.

[@MrBrewman95]

1:00 Eugene Stoner must have felt so bad his gun was used by a super-powered alien.

[@bhodili-3396]

Love this Version of General Zod so much more than the one from the Hack Snyder film.

[@SaifSKH]

Oswald Nelson No it isn’t, this is pure garbage

[@juanelorriaga2840]

Btw the soundtrack when Zod enters the Oval Office is just badass those drums deep in the back get me every time so eerie

[@classicgunstoday1972]

Juan Elorriaga it was the Zod theme used in the first movie when Jor El has them on trial

[@krapeevids6992]

Always loved the end of this scene ..”Oh God”. Zod.

[@electrum310]

Would Zod and friends come to the Elysée palace to take care of President Macron please ?

[@WallKenshiro]

Zod be just standing there as they shot him like he didn't give a f', then chilled against a wall as he watched his troops clear the floor, before grabbing an M16 and using it just for laughs.. Total O.G!

[@KainMaxi]

PRICELESS!

[@ColtComanche]

[@campinatorxbox1610]

Just imagine if Donner directed super man 3.

[@jeffo9396]

I liked Superman 3 regardless. It deviated from the franchise theme, but still very good.

[@mgdonner312]

i know buddy if he finish superman 2 and make the third it would have been so great so epic

[@jpx8793]

For a long time, I was curious what Zod meant by that line. "No one who leads so many could possibly kneel so quickly." If I'm not mistaken, that means a leader would at least negotiate and/or plea for the people he's leading, not simply kneel without a word.

[@jeffo9396]

When I was younger I didn't quite understand it either, but you're most likely correct. A lot of things make more sense as an adult than a kid.

[@TheTallMan50]

In other words never try to bullshit a Kryptonian bullshit artist.

[@rubix4195]

Based on from what I read about the military, it's always assumed that in surrender/defeat, the person in charge would either go all out (no retreat, no surrender) or ask for terms for surrender because they have the lives of the men/people that they are protecting in their hands. The President in the Commander of the armed forces in the US so Zod would have known - which says a lot about Zod's background and experience - that, even if he steam rolled into the White House, he would have expected someone to say: "What do you want?" and "If we give up, will you stop harming people?"

[@oddz313]

My goodness I can't believe I haven't seen this deleted scene before in Superman 2 movie I watch this movie so many times in my childhood time even now as well, I wish they keep this deleted scene in the movie because it makes General Zod more dangerous & he is a true evil villain and even his assistance as well one my favorite super villains ever. They should make a extended movie of it. Now I do understand why they didn't put this other deleted scene in the movie, with that deleted scene when Non killed that boy riding his horse to get some help and I see why they did not put that scene in movie. But thank you for finding that.

[@manuyeclar]

01:16 That semi-blink in his left eye. Ursa is enjoying this.

[@seyronabbott6001]

THINK about how EPIC it would have been back then had she said: "A good kick to the face is it's own reward..." 🤣 1:15

When I saw this in theatre in 1978 it was great. In 2021 it is great. Very good stuff.
