'oriental_stranger-1' from the internet movie database boards has asked me to add him to the petition. He left the following comments:
"Yes, Superman 4 should be re-released with all its cut scenes, especially all the parts towards the end where Superman takes Jeremy for a ride in the sky and explains his view of the world to him (Go to Superman Cinema to see what I'm on about). Apart from making it a much complete and better movie, perhaps it will get the message in peoples head that we live in ONE world and stop all this hate in the world and people killing each other in war and by other extremist means... as Superman says "I wish you can see the Earth like I do... because end of the day.. it's just one world"

There's a lot of meaningful messages in this film and if people actually take on some of these messages, the world wouldn't be in the state it is in now.

Make it happen WB... Stop making meaningless sequels like Superman Returns... there's more to life than realizing that the woman you love has now had a child and has moved on...

Make it happen!"

"Yes please count me in, I would like to be put on the petition to see an extended cut of SIV. Thanks".

An Extended Cut of Superman IV ? Yes. I would buy that in an instant!! I already own the whole Superman collection and would gladly double dip for a part IV recut (or a whole new box set with recuts of parts II and IV).

Come on Warner Bros., spend some money on this and you'll make a boatload.

If it's at all possible for there to be a restored version of SUPERMAN IV, add me to the list of those who would buy it in a heartbeat. I actually wrote a letter that was published in Video Review back in the fall of 1987 asking for a restored SUPERMAN IV, and it would be nice to see nearly twenty years later!

His comments:
" This movie would be a lot better with the extra 40 mins put back in. It would make much more sense and would actually be quite good i think. I quite enjoyed the 87 min version but felt it was rushed and needed more to it, then i found out about all the cuts and know why it felt rushed. No wonder not many people like this movie, no one has been allowed to see how it was really meant to be. Get it released on dvd properly, i'd certainly buy it".

His comments:
"I think Superman IV is my favorite of the series. I know a lot of people hated that one but I enjoyed it. I liked Superman's speech at the end but I sure wish they would release a director's cut for Superman IV. I heard Donner announced that they are already donig a director's cut for Superman II but they need to do IV. Make the movie 134 minute that would be nice".

The best people can hope for is that the deleted scenes are inserted into a separate section of the disc. Warner can't be bothered putting money into recutting a film most people hate. That said Superman IV was more popular than Supergirl which got treated to its own delux edition. If anyone really wants to be of use tell Warner that the negatives still exist in Deluxe Film Labs in Denham, England. Strangely they might not be aware of this fact and any further information could help them.
