Description
Superman II came out in 1980 as a follow up to the 1978 Superman. Christopher Reeve returns as Clark Kent / Superman along with Margot Kidder as Lois Lane and Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor. Terrence Stamp is also back as the main baddy, General Zod. And all the side characters are back, like Jackie Cooper as Perry white and Ned Beatty as Otis. For this film, Richard Donner had left the production because of issues with producers Ilya and Alexander Salkind, so Richard Lester was brought in to finish the film.Richard Donner had recorded a lot of footage for Superman II while recording the first installment, most of which was lost as Richard Lester came in to finish. In 2006, Warner Bros. worked with Donner to restore his original footage and mix it with the existing film to allow Donner to finish his vision for the movie. This was released as Superman II: The Donner Cut.Join Jake, Tracy, and Val as they welcome special guest Craig Price from Matinee Heroes, as they discuss Superman II!
