I gotta tell you, growing up back in the 1970's, the "say Jim...!" line is actually very believable. But the "pimp" if that's what he was was on the wrong side of 42nd st. needed to be a few avenues more west to be realistic.

Think back to 28 years ago when some of us old dudes here saw this in the theater for the first time... Could you have in your craziest dreams imagined that we all as grown men would be arguing about the plot specifics of this film all this time later?!?!?

My whole thing was once he finished turning the earth forwards again wouldn't the crack in the earth appear under Lois' car again? He didn't go all the way back to stop the missile and prevent the earthquake. Jimmy came running up at the end and said something like, "Thanks Superman. Leave me...
Thanks for the clarifications, guys! I actually thought too all this time that he was going bain time because to me that made more sense. If the eart suddenly stopped rotating and went the other way I think the results would be WAY more cataclysmic than just an earthquake!

Einstein's theory of relativity I think...
If he was traveling at the speed of light or faster...
Remember the line in Close Encounters? When one guy says to the other after seeing all the abductees returning..
"They haven't even aged, Einstein WAS right..."
"Einstein was probably one of...

from class to crass.....
I'm just glad that we won't have to deal with the (at least for me) VERY jarring transition in Margot's appearance in the footage. She looked much older for some reason, had had dental work, (a bridge I believe since a few years ago she was found babbling without her bridge in in her backyard or...
Ok, question.
After Superman becomes "human", "earth" whatever you call it, how the Hell do he and Lois get out of the arctic?!!?! Where did the car come from, (which was stock footage from S1 of Luthor's "flipping" car)! Are there Hertz rental centers in the arctic? Wouldn't they have frozen...
I think there must have been a considerable amount of time between the Donner shot footage and the later Lester shot stuff like the dinner scene in the Fortress of soiltude. She lost quite a bit of weight it seems. I wish I could grab screen caps but if someone could show a pic. of her in the...
We just watched this again the other nite.
Margot kidder's look changes SO dramatically from the old Donner footage to the Lester stuff. In the Lester footage she looks about 15 lbs. thinner and strung out and has a COMPELETELY different hair thing going on. Color is different and I think it's...
I think Kidder looked very drawn, possibly anorexic in the re-shoots. She does look great in the Donner footage, (and yes, chalk me up as another 11 yr. old kid who had a crush on her...) When 2 came out, I didn't notice the continuity inconsistencies, but watching it as an adult, it's pretty...
