I have a question, why in the hell was Richard Donner replaced as director for superman II? I just watched his version and it is far superior to what was released.

i think he had major disagreements with salinger or whoever over the screenplay.. they wanted to change donner's version drastically.. donner quit and the result was superman 2 and 3..
Gender: Male Location: Drinking gasoline. Pissing napalm.
Superman III's casting director must have went on a tequila binge before doing his job. "Richard Pryor in a Superman movie, now that'll work! Oh, and we can make him a computer programmer. That'll really go over well."
Sorry but that wasn't the worst part of it...the super computer itself was worse...I mean seriously...superman getting beaten...by a f*cking computer...getting his ass kicked...by a computer...that was the worst of it
That computer was originally supposed to be Brainiac. Instead it became a pale imitation, just as Robert Vaughn's character was just a wink-wink-nudge-nudge stand in for Lex Luthor.

when i was a kid watching superman 3, i didn't know about other superman villains.. so seeing him fight a different villain- albeit it was lex luthor in a different incarnation- was something new to me.. and superman getting drunk in a bar and just making a mess out of it was pure enjoyment to me.. if it was me with all those powers, i'd be like that too.. it must take a considerable amount of discipline and control to always be a boy scout with super powers..
plus, gus gorman was funny.. they even imitated his crime in office space.. hehe..
I always hated how lois found out clark was superman in the original superman II when he trips over that bear!! even as a kid i was like what the hell?? he's superman he can't stop himself from falling?
