Before it was even popular to make an obscene number of superhero movie sequels with declining quality- Warner Bros was trailblazing with multiple Superman movies!
Superman 3 definitely raises some questions, like why is Superman competing for screentime with this Gus Gorman guy so much? How is Gus so good at computers? What are 1980s computers capable of, exactly? DID SUPERMAN JUST FLICK A PEANUT?!
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Superman III.

My uncle once said that he believed that this movie was written by a sentient bag of cocaine. I can see why now. 😂
I didn't know Richard Pryor had writing credits for Superman III.
One can assume Pryor had his own bag of cocaine.
I can confirm this is true
That's how most movies in the 80's were made.
Hahaha a sentient bag of cocaine I can all ready see bag of cocaine with a pencil sitting in front of a desk
They couldn't afford Gene Hackman at all, they could only afford about an hour's work for Margot Kidder, and they could only afford Christopher Reeve for 16 hours of work, total. So we got this movie instead.
and they reeealy wanted to push richard and the comedy part as well.
That's why a good idea for making a sequel to a big name franchise when you (for some idiotic reason) don't have the funds for it is.................................
Don't!
@@jameslyninger1280 superman 4 heavily agrees!!
@@dangtoons1760 Margot kidder got sidelined because she rightfully stood up and blasted the producers for sacking Richard Donner as director on 2 . The producers will always be tools for this.
@@TemporaryApe Came here to stand tall about those greaseball producers chopping Kidder's lines down to 16 mins out of pure and childish spite for calling them out on their absolute incompetence and narcissistic bullshit.
There's one unironically great scene in this movie:
The boss discussing how the thief won't slip up, "He'll keep a low profile. He won't do a thing to call attention to himself. Unless he is a complete and utter moron."
*Ferrari tires screech in parking lot*
Whether you know it or not, there's also an F1 meme in here and I'm enjoying that, too.
I was going to comment on that scene as well. Hilarious, Richard Pryor pulls up the day after a robbery in his new red Ferrari and struts across the parking lot.
Another great line "I asked you to kill Superman, and you couldn't do that one simple thing."
It's a comedy first and a superman movie second...a distant second.
@@emptyhand777I have quoted that one for years.
5:27....Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! All the nightmares!
Yep. As a child, I have a scant memory of this Richard Pryor movie, but that ROBOT thing. Forever seared into my cerebral cortex. 🫣
Thanks, Writer/Producer guys. 😭😳😭
True. I don't even recall the part of story where superman fights himself. But the robot...core memory.
@@johnlee7164 Oh I had fond memories of the part where he fought himself. Then I turned off the VCR once he got to the computer complex.
Why was it so damned scary?! I remember seeing this when I was, I don’t know, 5 or 7 or something, and being extremely freaked out by the robot thing. Maybe it was the combination of how scary the robot looked and the fact that the woman died horrendously.
Her screaming while the computer is absorbing her gave me nightmares as a kid.
Same here. That scene scared me so bad as a little kid, I wouldn’t go to the theater for over a year.
0:15 computer programming *DOES* work like that
came to say that
That scene could be used for so many private computer schools that scammed so many people since the 1970s all the way until Obama slapped the money out of their hands.
As a professional programmer, I can confirm this
Yup, literally make my living from fixing the mistakes of people who were not born with it but did some computer classes and somehow managed to get a career.
I also came here to sauy that @@NeoTechni
Thank you for acknowledging my childhood nightmares from those silver eyes.
So i wasn't the only one?!
@@JB-pu3oj No, you were never alone...
It was being caught up, pulled back by the beam, and Vera's screaming which did it for me when I was younger! 😱😭
I was 5 when this movie came out. I spent the rest of my childhood absolutely terrified of that damn robot.
Looking back on it, the process seems a lot like making Cybermen from Dr. Who, but honestly I think the swirling blades from that is worse.
Computers seem super impressive! I can't wait to get my hands on one!
it'll be a million years before we can afford something like that. Didn't you see the graphics the computer put out?
Think of how long it will take for them to make one small enough to fit in your hand!🤯
Me too! (im using my microwave to send this message)
I don't understand what it is. I have to go to the library and do some reading about it.
Well give the instructions on how to build one, on a couple bits of scrap paper
Yeah because dropping a lake sized block of ice from a few 100 feet in the air will absolutely not damage that industrial complex...😏
That's the only scene I remember from this movie 😂
I've also got bad news for you if you were planning on picking it up from one edge and carrying it like a platter.
yes
@@craigbryant3191 funny how Superman can carry heavy things in the air, but the entire object stays perfectly intact despite the force being exerted in one small area, used to bug me even in my single digit years lol
What do you mean? The heat from the fires melted the ice and turned it into rain...somehow :P
I remember barely anything from Superman 3 but I do remember that damn freaky robot woman. I’m 45 😆 🤦🏻♂
AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF CHILDREN
Well, since you're a bot you're probably a bit younger than that
43 here and still freaks me out lol
Bot
Beep boop
That joke about the robot traumatizing an entire generation of children… that hit hard. I had pant-shitting nightmares about that things for years lol.
* hug *
This movie teaches a very important lesson: If you are embezzling money from your employer, don't show up to work in a Ferrari.
What could possibly go wrong?
This lesson has shockingly low adoption.
skimming 101
It is actually shocking how criminals will actually do stuff like that. One case I remember was a scary good $ counterfeiter, he went down because he left the trimmings and used supplies in his public garbage can right next to the $120,000 car the IRS knows he shouldn't have. Must have made the FBIs day having a literal barrel of evidence just right outside.
@@adamkares7549 “If you should be picked up next week buying a hundred-thousand dollar sports car in Newport Beach, I am going to be supremely disappointed.”
-Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), ‘Ocean’s Eleven’
"Why not just breathe his ice breath on the thing that needs to stay cool."
Bruh, I've been saying that since I was FOUR YEARS OLD... also, I probably shouldn't have watched this movie at 4 years old...
Why not? I watched the witness and silence of the lambs at that age, and look at me now! LOOK AT ME!!!
@@JohnMitchem-e2k
There was also a fire to put out.
No one should have watched this movie at any age. I'm glad, I didn't.
It's like unloading a fire extinguisher at a chair, then throwing the chair at the fire.
We should start a support group for adults who were traumatized by the robot scene as a child.
I’d be the first to sign up. 🫣
Count me in. That scene is seared into my brain's bad place right next to the clown in Poltergeist and Artax dying in The Neverending Story
I'm in. *shudder*
For me, it'd be this scene, and the death of Dr Lannister in Alien 3. Our bathroom tub had curtains EXACTLY like those in the medbay, I couldn't fully shut them for fear of xenomorph attack as a kid.
Thought I was the only one scarred by that scene!
Impressive that this isn't the worst or even second worst Superman film.
It has to be, there is no worse
@@toadynamite8141 Superman 4 and Batman Vs. Superman are worse. I know people will say BvS isn't worse, but at least Superman 3 is fun and goofy and mostly understands Superman; BvS doesn't understand Superman, Batman, or Lex Luthor.
@@osirisatot19no.
@@osirisatot19BVS taught me a valuable life lesson, that anyone whose mother is named Martha is good no matter how many people they slaughter
@@joshmciver4847 He isn't wrong about "Batman vs Superman". Batman wouldn't brand criminals so that they would be killed by their fellow inmates, or blame Superman for the destruction caused by Zod. Superman wouldn't attack anyone just because people he cared about were being held hostage. Lex Luthor isn't an idiot.
Ryan George actually watched Superman 3 for us, guys.
Some heroes don't wear capes.
Still better than Superman 2.
The traffic light guys fighting thanks to computer stuff broke me
i thought that was a fever dream and that i misremembered it...but nooooo that scene was real.
I misremebered it being from Short Circuit.
I saw this movie as a small child (< 10 years old) and I thought that it was the stupidest thing ever. Even at that age and no knowledge of computers I knew that this was impossible. I never watched it ever again. This is the only part I remember. I have no memory of the thing that traumatized children, just the stupid the crosswalk light guys fighting scene.
That was foreshadowing of the junkyard fight.
Best idea, a Richard Pryor movie, with Superman as a Supporting character.
And also make it not funny at all
And thus began the true death of Superman, this and WB firing the late Richard Donner years before.
I thought he was oddly recognizable >>
@@tenrecc You thought Richard Pryor, one of the greatest comedians of all time, a man that many other comedy greats have quoted as being their inspiration, was "oddly recognizable"? That's like saying Paul McCartney kinda looks familiar.
@@mirceamitch Paul Mac Courtney, eh? Yeah... That does sound familiar. Funny how we vaguely remember all the one hit wonders.
Well, all that’s left is Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Which should be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
It's been a long time since I've seen that movie.... well, since it was in theaters I guess. Childhood me didn't know it at the time, but I filed it away under "Worst super hero movie you will ever see, yes, even worse than Cat Woman."
about as easy as it is for Gene Hackman to say "nuclear"
Considering how bad it is it’s not super easy
Even the stars of the movie dismissed it altogether
Oh really!?
Or better yet, 1984’s Supergirl!
Missed opportunity- not pointing out that the same Actress plays both Lana Lang (his love interest) and his Earth Mother.
this was a pitch meeting for a movie that happened in 1983, years before Smallville
lol I weirdly still love this movie. Great work as always mate.
Superman III walked so that Superman IV could crawl.
Superman IV was better. Not by much but it was.
@@wilcee238oh, come on now! IV is a travesty.
Agreed
I will never get that milk that came out of my nose back...
😂😂
I saw this in the theaters when I was like 5. When the computer created "brainiac" from the woman, it scarred me for a long time. Like chronic nightmares.
I never watched a horror movie before I saw Superman III. We watched this as a family and the Vera scene completely broke my reality 😂😂😂
Gotta agree with you there . . . that scene was shocking.
It's the only scene I remember from the movie, and it was absolute nightmare fuel for anyone single digit aged.
Same. Terrifying stuff
I thought it was AWESOME!! I wanted to turn some random woman into a cyborg too! (Alondro was a disturbed and disturbing child....)
5:27 Mission accomplished!
I remember 8-year-old me coming home from the theater and not being able to sleep at all that night. Every time I closed my eyes I saw robo zombie Vera.
As a former child of the 80s, Watership Down, The Secret of Nymh, and the cartoon version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe had all already scarred me, so yeah.
Be glad you missed the Hobbit, Wizards and the Last Unicorn. Trauma, thy name is Boshki!
@@ShellyS2060 I didn't! I have those and love them. 😂 Those didn't actually traumatize me.
Secret of Nymh is criminally underappreciated. Also great kid exposure to dark fantasy. The Dark Crystal was another one that scarred me as a kid, but in the best way.
@@jackalclone1 Agreed! Well, the Dark Crystal didn't scare me, but the skeksis were freaky. Maybe they scared me a little. 😂
Remember Return to Oz? Where Dorothy goes to a mental institute and gets electro shock?
Wait... So Superman Bully Maguire'd before Bully Maguire Bully Maguire'd?
Tight!
“Wouldn’t Superman be wary of giant green rocks?”
“You’d think so, but the thing is … No.”
😂😂😂
yes I also saw this video!
@@killdano I did as well, such a coincidence
Part 2
th-cam.com/video/U2h6cCoT7P8/w-d-xo.html
Did we just watch the same video?
@@killdano what are the odds?!
I saw this movie with my aunt when I was about 7, in a Ciné-parc near Montreal. The bit about giving nightmares to an entire generation of children is accurate.
Yep. I was crying and everything. But hey, those were the the 80's. Traumatizing and uncensored movies were the norm. 😂
As a former child of the 80s, I can confirm that robot scene was scarring.
As a child of 10 years old I owned an Apple IIe . . . so as I watched this show and the fighting stop light signs and plan to take over the weather with computers, I kind of knew. This show had no basis in any reality, so just try and enjoy it as a action/bad-comedy.
Oh he's about to talk about that scene that gave me nightmares as a child.
"We use this scene to give nightmares to an entire generation of children."
Ryan G. why are you intent on ruining my childhood?!! What's next...E.T?!!!!??
The computer fad in movies back in the 80s was the A.I in movies currently in the present.
Did an AI bot write this? They write all the best comments ;)
A.I. or Multiverse fad … ? I guess they’re both still running concurrently, though I feel that A.I. was a fad first … ?
Except current movies take themselves way too seriously. 80s movie hacking pretty much knew it was bonkers and didn't care.
For example, in this movie the bad guys are looking at Superman on a screen and shooting missiles at him, and it looks like a NES game with a score in the corner and everything :D
Except AI really CAN do the things we don't know it can do yet.
There's always been fads in movies, starting with trains.
"Did she just come in to show off a bikini and leave"
Absolute Queen
Margot Kidder is a sort. Fact.
She probably took one look at an early script and noped the hell out, only appearing because "we gotta have Lois in the movie for at least a minute".
Margot Kidder will always be my Lois Lane, she owned that role.
@@Norvik_-ug3ge A sort?
@@basharic3162Partly true.
She hated the Salkinds for screwing over Donner.
They ‘punished’ her by giving her a tiny role.
I remember barely anything from Superman 3 but I do remember that damn freaky robot woman. I’m 45 😆 🤦🏻♂️
Pure GenX nightmare fuel, man
I'm 48 and yeah same. We can hug if you want.
Same for me, just re-rewatched this movie recently and got the instant shudder creeps when the circuit boards jump onto her body
100% the same. All I remembered from this movie was that scene. And the traffic light guys fighting, for some reason that freaked me out too o.o
All I remember is the penny stealing. I don't know if I saw the rest of the movie. None of that even looks familiar.
4:58 Most of Superman's battle problems are caused by not flying in with his super speed and fix things in half a second. Instead he takes it slow so people have time to use kryptonite.
I mean... if you can get Richard Pryor, you gotta use him. A lot.
Even if you can't afford any of the franchise's main actors.
@@slosubies4845 That is a common misconception. They could afford the original cast, but Hackman refused, because they mistreated the director of the first 2 films & Kidder's role was shrunk because she had heat with the producers because of the same reason.
"What's Webster's deal?"
"He's like Lex Luthor, only... Not."
yes I saw the video too!
@@killdano I'm tired of people who respond like you needing to be told that, when somebody repeats a quote they like in the comments, it's to highlight that they like that particular quote and are welcoming people to talk about that specific bit. Then oblivious people like you come in and are like "uh, yeah I saw the video too durrrr" like, ok, no crap. Thanks for the amazing, positive input, peanut gallery.
He's that bad UNCLE.
Lex was on vacation with Lois!
@@FunnyStuffOnly-b8u Lighten up, Francis.
04:48 "There's no way to know exactly what I meant by that."
5:16 As someone who saw that scene at a way too young an age; I can confirm that it worked giving kids nightmares.
100%
@@Joe-xo1cx
yes i don't recall anything from this movie other than scary robot human lady nightmare
I was one of those kids traumatised by the scene where Vera got turned into a robot.
This movie and Tron. My inspiration to the world of computers and programming. Gus and Flynn were awesome!
Oh, hi bot!
Ok so glad to confirm we were all traumatized by the computer robot scene. Wasnt just me then….
My memory had completely burried these horrible images and now I remembered how terrified I was of this scene. Now it feels like japanese anime body horror.
Never saw superman 3 but i seen 4 lots of time weird 😅.
RIP Richard Pryor, Christopher Reeve
😢
And Margo Kidder and Robert Vaughn.
and peanut flicking superman
Gene Hackman managed to stay out of Superman III, and still lives. Coincidence?
Mr. Pryor and Mr. Reeve left too soon. 😢 Rest in peace Jackie Cooper as well. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️
Wait... That nightmare scene...
It wasn't just me then... My god.
Rule 34 was born that day...
you are not alone
The woman turning into a robot was the scariest movie scene from my childhood, worse than Poltergeist clown attack/face peeling. I never spoke about this scene with anyone, at least not in last 30 years. I was very surprised when this scene was highlighted. I know now that I’m not the only one. He hit the nail on the head.
I’m also surprised robotification hasn’t been used in actual horror movies. A lot of untapped potential.
@@MOBATLMOB I mean, Doctor Who has been using it for years with the Cybermen.
@@MOBATLMOB "I’m also surprised robotification hasn’t been used in actual horror movies. A lot of untapped potential."
It has. That was the entire premise of the movie "Virus" starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland, which wasn't well-received.
Oh good, I had finally forgotten about that nightmare fuel of the robot woman ... ... Until now.
Dude... i had forgotten about that robotic nightmare thing until today.... it literally freaked me out as a kid. Wild.
For some reason it's somehow comforting to see that Hollywood writing has been terrible for 40 yrs. So, it's not just a recent thing, it's basically been happening forever.
For over 100 years, and still going strong with the stupid and ridiculous!
@@felixmarvin1199 yeah bad hollywood scripts always been there, but they still produce enough good movies to likable that we pretty much ignore the issue. heck even a bad movie like this one was enjoyable to me when i first saw it. I did enjoy supe vs evil supe fight. Morden movies just dont do anything at all for me. At least they are way too many modern movies that are blah
Look up Siskel & Ebert's "Worst of 1989", their criticism of Hollywood is the same as ours is today, except superhero films
@@Marveryn I'm surprised Ryan didn't make a comment about evil Superman's costume getting darker along with his personality. Amazing what properties Kryptonian spandex has!
@@Marveryn Modern movies don't do anything for you now because you're older. Not because they are worse. I'm the same, I don't watch nearly as many movies as I used to. And the ones I do watch don't have the same magic as when I was young. But a lot of the movies I loved as a kid were hated by the adults. It's the same now.
Yeah. Vera’s transformation terrified the holy hell out of me.
Something about the actress' performance really conveyed the 'I am being eaten by a machine and am terrified and also in the worst pain imaginable' to an extent that should maybe be illegal.
@@maxsalmon4980 seriously. It was the just the noises that sell it. For such a slap stick, cheesy movie, this was just….amazing.
I had successfully locked that away in a box in my mind until this video.
The eye snapping open...shudder.

@@thebenforever TRUE. Those freakin' eyes
"Hey shut up about that forever." 😂😂🤣🤣
That almost makes up for bringing up some repressed childhood trauma. (That scene where the sister gets turned into a robot did freak me out when I was a kid.)
I still have great affection for the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN movies, despite the obvious missteps taken in their making. How about a pitch meeting for MEGALOPOLIS... 😮
I was one of the children who had nightmares about that scene, but until now, I never knew there were others! Thank you!
You too?? 😮/😢/😅
4:30 The "Superman: Evil Peanut Flicking Freak" limited comic series ran from 1985-1987.
I'm definitely one of those kids who was traumatized by the sister getting turned into a robot.
Iron Giant pitch meeting!! It's the best superman movie ever
Definitely!!!
A bit sad that this is still true even as much as I like _The Iron Giant_ too. It's sort of like how _The Incredibles_ is still the best Fantastic Four movie currently.
Honest Trailers did Iron Giant yesterday!!!
@@MusicoftheDamnedThere are still good Superman movies. The same can’t be said for fantastic four
@@waltergaming817 Yeah, that's fair, especially if you count the animated movies, which weirdly I don't think The Fantastic Four have ever gotten now that I think about it. Huh.
A bit funny that the two FF movies with Chris Evans have gotten a bit of a bump recently though from _Deadpool & Wolverine_ of all things. It makes me wonder if there will be something that causes people to look at _"Fan4stic"_ fondly without irony. (Please no.)
Jerk Reeves walked so that Bully Maguire could run

"Evil peanut flicking freak!!" Lol the best lines!
Five year old me thought Superman III was awesome. 46 year old me thinks this is far better.
Everyone knows the real superman III is superman '78
Delicious sounding crimes are tight 😂
Yeahyeahyeah
It soon must be time for a Hollywood re-make of this movie.
Lol, a human being with a job as a computer programmer? That's science fiction in the future when this movie would be released.
It's a Richard Pryor movie feat. Superman.
As a 46 year old 'man' I can truly say the nightmares have scarred me , that comment hit home.
Glad that computer fad is over. The weather hasn’t been the same since.
Please do a pitch meeting for Titan A.E(2000) 😂 I feel like you can get a LOT of good jokes out of that movie
Also it had a great soundtrack
No! That movie is perfection!.... I've decided... 24 years ago...
The biggest, and almost most literal, deus ex machina ending of any film in history, ever.
May as well have had actual Richard Pryor show up in the third act of it.
It's flawed as hell, but also kind of underrated.
Gus Gorman is basically Bugs Bunny who is also inexplicably a master programmer
The best part was when he said "IT'S GORMIN' TIME" and then he gormed all over those guys.
I DID have nightmares from the robot lady scene back in the 80s.
My list of traumatizing scenes (kindertrauma):
1. Indiana jones heart removal
2. No mouth girl in Twighlight Zone
3. Woman turning into a cyborg in Superman 3
4. Shields and Yarnell robot sketches on the muppets and backstage sketch
5. Ghostbusters library ghost
6. Headless Christopher Lloyd on Amazing stories
7. Wheelers in Return to Oz
8. Hallway scene and well scene with John in Chuck Norris's Silent Rage
9. Tales from the Darkside intro music
10. Large Marge from Pee Wee's Great Adventure
11. David Copperfield cutting himself in half with a saw
From the 90's
Finger in the Drain in Monsters
Vietnam tunnels in Monsters
Overall movies that scared/creeped me out
1. Dark Crystal
2. Jaws 1 and 2
3. Return to Oz
No Creepshow 2 oil slick monster?
You're right about the Tales from the Dark side intro. Chills. 🥶 Great series though! 👍🏾
Large Marge terrified me for what felt like years. Also the Wheelers **shudder** and the queen (or whomever) REPLACES HER HEAD WITH DIFFERENT HEADS!!!
Watership Down gas scenes and Bright Eyes!!
No spinal meningitis sister from Pet Cemetary?
I completely forgot about the plot of this movie. Judging by the last part, it was probably repressed for good reason.
I don't remember this movie and now I know why.
Same here
Richard Pryor and the writers did A LOT OF DRUGS and Christopher Reeves was like “whatever. Let’s film this fever dream.”
Yep, I was among those traumatised by Webster's sister's conversion. Thanks producer guy.
Who else agrees that Brainiac should've been the main villain of this movie instead of Gus Gorman and Webster?
That was the original intention, but then the producers snorted a small mountain of cocaine and said "Richard Pryor would be great for this movie!"
Just once I want a Superman movie without Lex Luthor and with Brainiac. The real Brainiac from the comics.
Richard Pryor and cocaine took up most of the budget, so Brainiac was out.
My kid self seriously thought that’s where the movie was headed once they mentioned building supercomputer, and again when it fought to stay alive, but nothing happened.
As a kid in the early Sixties Brainiac was my favorite Supe villain!
I feel SO validated to have Ryan George finally address the movie scene that caused me to have a panic attack at age 9. I thought I was the only one traumatized by it! I feel so seen and understood! 😭
5:30 right?
6:02 yeah..
0:54 : Webster intented to use computers to control WEATHER SATELLITES, and use those to control the weather.
He didn't seem to realize that weather satellites only OBSERVE the weather, they can't change it.
Not that that will stop 1980s computers...
The best thing about this movie is that it will eventually spawn Office Space.
40 years later, and I still can't watch her get "assimilated" by that computer.

... Without needing a cold shower afterwards.
Looks like Cyberman conversion.
I mean, that’s how Capt. Picard described it…😬😅😬
1:55 Going all "Corridor Crew" here, but that's funny how they did this scene. They layered the front half of the police car to get the reflections and overhead lights to keep going, uninterrupted.
Its a nice effect for its time.
What do you mean, fellow viewer? I’m having trouble understanding your description.
@@Jebu911 Cleanly done, too. You can see they cut at the door seam, where you could hardly notice it.
@@SirArthurTheGreat In real life, Clark jumps into the police car, gets out, changes to the super suit, gets back in and they film him coming out, which takes several minutes, so they have to edit it. But the overhead flashers and explosion reflections in the window would have revealed the edit. So they superimposed a few unedited seconds of the front half of the car to make it look like that all happens in a few seconds. The driver is also a dummy; a person couldn't have sat still for that long.
Seems impressive for the time.
5:36 that scene indeed gave me nightmares
Producer guy definitely succeeded in giving me nightmares as a child
💯
Same here, I was terrified by that scene for years… to be honest, I still find it disturbing.
I had forgotten how bad it scared me until he got to that scene. Freaked me the f*** out when I was a kid.
Same here, I was hiding behind the couch at the point
Yea that scene ALWAYS gave me nightmares - and I'm 43
I’ve always found the 80’s movie portrayal of computers fascinating. They were terrified of computers!
4:11 got me lol
Despite their massive errors in judgement, I feel like Screenwriter Guy and Producer Guy have actually made a lot of good movies over the years.
The real meaning is the Pitch Meetings that were made along the way.
3:37 Kryptonite a metal from Krypton
made almost out of Earth Materials including Dialium a plant
Some elements are very common across the universe. The thing is the proportions they are blended in, and the isotopes of those found to be radioactive
Lol elements are universal
The Kryptonite in the first movie is clearly a crystal of some kind, not metallic. Also, kryptonite just means "meteorite from Krypton". It isn't what is made of that's important, it's that it's from superman's home planet so its radioactivity can harm him. Which makes this plot point even more bizarre! Lex Luther even explains this in the first movie!
this would mean kryptonite can be made synthetically and it is made 10.62% out of a freaking Earth
25% Hydrogen and Helium + 75% Unknown makes more sense
@@SirsasthNigam. "75% unknown" doesn't make more sense. From what little I know about Kryptonite (I'm not a huge Superman fan), any piece of the planet Krypton is dangerous to Superman and mostly harmless to humans (except as a result of prolonged exposure). It's the radiation that's the problem, not what kryptonite is made up of. If anything, the complaint you should have with the movie is that materials found on Earth could be used to replicate the effects of kryptonite without the proper type of radiation to go along with them.
The end of this movie definitely gave me nightmares as a kid.
Yeah☹️, i remember that scene with the sister turning into a robot actually did give me nightmares when i was a kid😨.................. and now this video brought those repressed memories back 😱
Dang, I didnt realize how much they ripped off Office Space
Original draft had Richard Pryor as a Superman villain Brainiac
That was gonna be explained as to why he was extremely computer savvy
The Wb executives felt and I quote "No one would see a comedian as a legit compelling villain"
Jim Carrey, Jack Black, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams and Melissa McCarthy all played very good villains and many more comedians since then
Agreed, 16 years before Office Space even existed.
Wasn't this before Office Space?
@@eric_linden lol yes. Office Space is better tho
@@Chuck_EL I know Ghostbusters (2016) was bad, but it's not nice to call McCarthy a villain for making it.

I'm just now realizing I have never seen Superman III....
And the pitch meeting is all I needed to see.
Waking up from my nightmares about being turned into an android by Gus Gorman's supercomputer to watch this... is tight
I'd completely forgotten about 95% of this movie.
You remembered about 4% more than it was worthy of
For the longest time, Superman was my favorite comic book character. Which is probably why I've completely forgotten this one.
Now I have to work to completely forget it all over again.
“Being okay with terrible movies existing so that Ryan can do hilarious pitch meetings about them is TIGHT!”
If only Superman would fly in and kiss those memories away. (otherwise it's the director's cut solution)
Hope you've forgotten Superman IV too. 😂
Trying to forget Superman 3 has been super difficult really an inconvenience.
“Being on with terrible movies existing so that Ryan can do hilarious pitch meetings about them is TIGHT!”
I will ONLY give this movie credit for the EPIC fight between Superman and his evil alter ego.
0:26 that “HUH!” cracked me up, I haven’t seen it done like that before and I hope it becomes (or is already) a thing!
That sister transformation was no joke. Silent. Just her grunting and moaning and machine noise...damn stuff of nightmares.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug. Ah, the '80...
Computer Resons...... my new goto as the iT guy at my place of work.... 😂
Replacing characters in the spot is tight!
0:37 what? nobody said "tight" in the 80's. that is modern slang. the boss should have said "Delicious sounding crimes are rad".
As a member of the generation of children the robot scene gave nightmares to, I just want to say that that scene is still very triggering, lol. Between that and the Force lightning scene in Jedi (which I also remember my reaction to in vivid detail), 1983 was a pretty traumatic year for us young movie goers.
