Superman II	comment	Superman II, the first sequel to Superman: The Movie and second installment of the Superman Film Series, was released in 1980 (1981 in the US).General Zod and his two allies, convicted criminals from Superman's home planet of Krypton, are accidentally freed from the Phantom Zone. (Their imprisonment is the opening scene of Superman: The Movie.) The trio arrive on Earth, eager to conquer the planet — and Zod is all too happy to discover Jor-El's son is still alive. Amidst his battles with Zod, Superman's increasingly romantic relationship with Lois Lane is also explored further.The film was mostly filmed concurrently with the first film, but due to a Troubled Production they stopped midway to focus on getting the first one wrapped up. Before resuming production over a year later director Richard Donner was fired over Creative Differences with the Salkinds, the producers, because of debates over the escalating budget and comedic elements. Richard Lester — who admitted to never having read a comic book (Superman or otherwise) in his life — was hired as the director to finish out the film, and to keep Donner out of the loop they refilmed much of the movie under Lester so that he could get sole credit. While the result was largely seen as satisfactory, the cast and crew were angry about this decision and many declined to return to work on Superman III.An alternate cut of this film, Superman II - The Richard Donner Cut, was eventually released on DVD in 2006. While several scenes had to be reconstructed from incomplete materials (in one case, a 1978 screen test between Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder was used), this cut is as close to Donner's vision of Superman II that anyone will ever see. The primary differences involve removing the more slapstick elements, keeping Superman's powers consistent and adding a few deleted scenes, most notably scenes of Jor-El (who was originally removed due to contractual conflicts with Brando).

Superman II / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: The French hydrogen bomb, which Supes hurls into space, accidentally causing it to shatter the Phantom Zone and free the Terrible Trio. In the Donner cut, the eastbound missile Superman stopped in the first movie is what causes the Phantom Zone to shatter when he hurls it into open space. Kal shows Lois the green crystal that built the Fortress of Solitude. She later leaves it lying on the seat when he calls her to dinner, the camera lingering on it for a second or two. After Kal uses the Red Crystal chamber to turn into Clark permanently, he soon regrets it. When he makes it back to the Fortress, the green crystal starts glowing again, almost saying "Hey! I'm over here!!" The molecular chamber which Superman uses to become mortal in order to fall in love with Lois, plays a crucial part in the climax when he's forced to enter it again after Luthor lets the cat out of the bag. Fortunately, Superman manages to turn the tables on Zod and his mooks.

During the colossal fight scene in and over Metropolis between Superman and the three super-villains, Metropolis' day-to-day routine continues completely uninhindered. When the Angry Mob heads for Zod et al and they blow them down with their super-breath, at least two individuals continue their public phone conversations despite obvious evidence of the lethality of doing so. In fact, when Superman decides to abruptly end the encounter and retreat rather than risk further destruction and possible loss of life, the citizenry of Metropolis are frustrated and angry with him for doing so.

She pulls a gun on Clark, saying that if he were Superman it would have no effect. After getting shot, Clark pretends to stagger, but reveals that Lois is, in fact, right. When he points out that if she were wrong, he would have died, Lois then reveals the bullet she shot him with was a blank. Which is kind of silly anyway, as the first movie clearly depicted Clark as being fast enough to catch a bullet - meaning he easily would have seen that no bullet came out of the gun.

Superman II / int_4852f325	comment	I Just Want to Be Normal: In the Richard Donner Cut, it is made very explicit that Clark can have a normal human life with one person, or he can devote his life to the entire planet. The supposition is that favoring one person above others is not compatible with being Superman. In the theatrical version, where the choice is presented by Lara (as opposed to being presented by Jor-El in the Donner version), the connection to this trope is less explicit, but it remains the case that Clark prefers being a normal person who marries a mortal woman over being Superman.

Superman II / int_4bfcfa7c	comment	Kansas City Shuffle: Superman utilizes a heroic one in attempting to lure Zod and his mooks into the molecule chamber (the setup). Once Luthor spills the beans, he takes over, thinking he can operate the molecule chamber with the crystal, when Superman is apparently the only one who knows how to use the Kryptonian device, and this is the first any of the villains have heard about this. Zod orders Superman to go into the chamber (guessing the plan), where, unbeknownst to the criminals, he is shielded from the radiation, and Zod believes he has the advantage over Superman, until the Man of Steel crushes a powerless Zod's hand, and the Kryptonian criminals each fall into the icy chasm below. The main twist was that Superman would pretend to be weakened inside the chamber, when he was actually shielded from the red solar rays which occurred outside of the chamber, and the actual location of the molecular transformation never occurred to Zod, who wrongly assumed that Superman's isolated chamber was where the attempted removal of super powers happened.

Superman II / int_6c3d1777	type	Magic A Is Magic A
Superman II / int_6c3d1777	comment	Magic A Is Magic A: Richard Donner directed Superman: The Movie using the word "verisimilitude" as the production motto in scripting and crafting the film. They devoted a lot of their effort to figuring out how to have things make sense within the ludicrous framework of the premise and plot. Why doesn't Superman solve all the world's problems? Jor-El's dialogue explains (piecemeal) that there is an intergalactic rule that Superman is bound to not to interfere in the course of another planet's history, this rule having been put into place as the result of the early history of "the twelve known galaxies" being rife with warfare due to interference (presumably resulting in stringent vigilance for that sort of thing now, creating the potential for the intergalactic equivalent of an international incident). He is already bending the rules just being Superman in the first place. If the name "Superman" was invented by the media, why is there an S-logo on the outfit? The fancy traditional attire of Kryptonians included family crests in a chest insignia, and the symbol on the seal of Jor-El's clan coincidentally happens to look somewhat like an S. And so on. One of Donner's criticisms of Richard Lester's Superman II mirrored the fans in that they introduced so many strange powers that it didn't make any sense because they were never introduced, including teleporting, telekinetic beams and, well, the power to pull off a cellophane "S" shield and throw it at your enemies. Donner's Director's Cut of Superman II eliminated these weird powers (along with much of the comedy). This example is especially insightful because the audience has no trouble accepting a man who can shoot laser beams from his eyes or start hurricanes with his breath, but will immediately balk when the fictional boundaries of his abilities are overstepped — even if these do not introduce inconsistencies per se. Although admittedly Superman did not start off with all his powers in the comics either. One scene in the Richard Donner cut did show the Kryptonian criminals using telekinesis. One of them grabbed a shotgun out of a deputy's hands telekinetically. This may have been intended by Donner, or it may simply have been the only surviving cut of this scene that they could find to put onto the DVD.

Lois feels foolish, but then as they return to their hotel room, Clark trips and his hand falls in a fire, and naturally, he's not hurt at all. By this point, he just decides to let Lois know the whole truth. In the film's "Donner Cut", Lois also tries shooting a gun at Clark to prove he's Superman. She uses a gun with blanks just in case she is wrong, but Clark, having never felt the pain of getting shot, isn't able to tell the difference.

In what is supposed to be a scene showing the utter futility of regular mortals attempting to oppose such beings, with even cars being thrown around, we have such moments shown like; a couple being blown away after coming out of a take-away, completely oblivious to everything happening, and the waitress who served them following suit (they'd forgotten their change), a guy in a telephone booth having a seemingly hilarious conversation, continuing to laugh even as the phone booth is dragged down the street, and the wigs of a man and woman being blown off. All of a sudden, it can almost be seen where the ridiculous opening from Superman III came from. In the Richard Donner cut of the film however, these scenes are left out, leaving just the destruction, averting this.

Superman II / int_b6fe20c0	comment	One of Donner's criticisms of Richard Lester's Superman II mirrored the fans in that they introduced so many strange powers that it didn't make any sense because they were never introduced, including teleporting, telekinetic beams and, well, the power to pull off a cellophane "S" shield and throw it at your enemies. Donner's Director's Cut of Superman II eliminated these weird powers (along with much of the comedy). This example is especially insightful because the audience has no trouble accepting a man who can shoot laser beams from his eyes or start hurricanes with his breath, but will immediately balk when the fictional boundaries of his abilities are overstepped — even if these do not introduce inconsistencies per se. Although admittedly Superman did not start off with all his powers in the comics either.

Non tries to fly, but falls into a hole as well. Finally, Ursa is punched out by Lois, and she joins her companions. Subverted, however, in that at least some TV edits have them found by an arctic patrol team and subsequently arrested, with Luthor joining them after Superman and Lois escort him out of the ruined Fortress of Solitude. It's also subverted in the Donner Cut, as Superman goes back in time and prevents the events of the movie from happening in the first place.

Superman II / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Downplayed slightly, as the film still maintains an epic tone for the most part. However, while the original movie wasn't exactly dark and moody, II has a lot more goofy slapstick courtesy of Richard Lester, though not to the extent of Superman III. The Richard Donner Cut removes many of Lester's comedic bits in attempt to bring its feel closer to the more dramatic roots of the first film, though it has some restored jokes of its own, such as Luthor being even more of a Deadpan Snarker to Zod, and showing that the Fortress of Solitude does have a bathroom.

Coca-Cola and KFC each appear twice. When Superman (after saving a boy from falling down a waterfall) goes behind a hot dog stand to change into Clark Kent, the stand is serving Coke products; when Superman and Zod fight in Metroville, Superman throws Zod through a neon Coke sign.

Superman II / int_fc7c4f92	comment	Canon Immigrant: It actually took the better part of thirty years for these versions of the evil Kryptonian characters to arrive in the comics. Zod, who appeared in several Silver Age comics, had turned into a clustered mess of a character with about four different versions of the character appearing between DC's 1985 Crisis on Infinite Earths and 2005's Infinite Crisis, so Geoff Johns made the decision to introduce the most memorable and iconic version of Zod - that of the film - into the DCU. Ursa, in the meantime, had a basis in the Pre-COIE comics - she was Faora (presumably renamed to make a Punny Name for those that would get the joke) and was a Kryptonian murderess who hated men. However, much like Superman II's iconic Zod, she's more famous than any of the other Kryptonian villainesses, and she and Non joined Zod in the 'Last Son' story of Action Comics, before becoming one of the focuses of the 'New Krypton' storyarc.
