Alright - Yeah!!

Donner is finally getting his Director's Cut - producers be damned!

LMAO man, that was an awesome scene, the super speed was VERY well done, I was actually surprised, thats one of the best effects I've seen in the old Donner films, that scene was amazing, and hilarious.

Nice.... hilarious too.

Anomaly is correct. VERY impressive special effects for that era.

I'm not a coward Zod

Maybe they used some modern FX with this old footage.

I'm getting weird colors in my mediaplayer... it's all green and red and inverse and stuff. Does anyone know how to fix that?

genuinely looking forward to this

It is interesting to see how the 2 directors had different takes on how to do this scene. Lester's being the rapids and Donner's a leap out the window...This really should be a worthy addition to my collection!

Donner rules!

I really wonder what Niagra scenes will be like now though... because obviously that is still in.

😆 😆 😆

Play it until 51 seconds and pause it. That is the stupidest face.

I can't believe they cast that wench as Lois Lane

Is it done yet?

GENIUS!

I'm very much looking forward to this. 😄

Kidder's a fine Lois... Much better than Bosworth.

Here's a preview of what we will see, according to IMDB:

Time Warner plans to issue a director's cut of Superman II on Nov. 20 that will feature the work of director Richard Donner, who was fired from the movie and replaced by Richard Lester midway through the movie in 1979. According to today's (Wednesday) London Times, the film will include 15 minutes of previously unseen footage of Marlon Brando as Superman's father, Jor-El. The film also employs footage from Donner's screen tests and numerous alternate sequences. In fact, according to the Times, the film uses less than 20 percent of the footage shot by Lester. A spokeswoman for Warner Home Video told the newspaper that the new film was made possible because producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind, who fired Donner, sold their interest in the film to Time Warner. A critic for Britain's Empire magazine who viewed the new version said that it was plagued with continuity problems arising from the fact that Donner was forced to make do with footage on hand, including the screen-test footage. "It's patchy (Reeve's hairstyle changes from shot to shot), badly lit and stagy, but watching Reeve's performance is electrifying," according to the Empire review.

hmmm....

Definately worth a look.

Great freakin scene wow!

I'm confused, whats going on, are they finishing it? whats going on?!?!?! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

they're definitely doing it. the salkind's were stupid to fire donner.

They'd better take the Niagara falls out of the film! Besides, kids aren't that stupid.
