Is It A Bird Is It A Plane...
... no its Superman 5 or 2.5 or nearly 3 or something...
Thought I'd continue in the movie trivia vane I started yesterday with 'Wilhelm Scream'.
... So everybody probably knows about 'the curse of Superman' and how Margot (Lois Lane) Kidder ended up a nutcase sleeping rough on the streets of LA... and if you don't there is a Channel 4 Documentary this weekend to tell you.
But here's some stuff you may not know:
1. All Gene Hackman's scene's in Superman II (the best Superman movie) were actually filmed during the filming of Superman the movie.
2. The disaterous Superman IV: The Quest For Peace was originally over half an hour longer and that half hour inculded another supervillian 'Nuclearman 1' [opposed to Nuclearman 2 as seen in the released film]. This original villian was played by none other than Clive Mantle yes that's right BBC Casualty and Holby City's friendly doctor Mike Barrett!!! This extra footage was planned to be used in Superman 5 which was never made because IV was SOOOO rubbish.
3. There is a scene in Superman The Movie where the young Lois Lane sees Clark running past the train she is on. Lois' parents are played by the actors who played Lois [the 2nd actress to play her] and Superman in the first TV series.
4. Terence Stamp as Zod in Superman II never says the line "Kal-El son of Jor-El kneel before Zod!" which is a shame really coz I always thought he did, I also thought that was what Jay says in Mallrats just after he's hit Lafours on the head. But they both actually say "Come to me, son of Jor-El, kneel before Zod!" and Jay adds "Snootchie Bootchies" of course.
5. In the original 'Action Comics' stories Superman could not fly but he could jump buildings in a single bound.
6. Dean Cain who played Superman/Clark Kent in the TV show 'The New Adventures Of Lois and Clark' is afraid of flying!
7. The first actress to play Lois Lane on TV, Phyllis Coates, also played Superman's mum in the Dean Cain TV show. This was continued with Smallville where Annette O'Toole plays Clark's mum and she played Lana Lang in Superman III.
8. Dick Lester the director of Superman II and III owns a Smallville body warmer. I know this because I saw him wearing it on a tube once!
