I think even after weeks of contemplation I still enjoyed this film more than Superman 2. Maybe it was because the copy of Superman 2 that I watched was a weird TV version but I found myself invested in this film completely. Yes, maybe there was more Richard Pryor and not enough Superman but I dunno, found it charming.
Thanks for watching! Have a great day! :)
You should try watching the Donner cut of Superman 2 and see if it changes your opinion at all.
Please reacts Supergirl starring by Helen Slater and later Superman IV😊👍
Yes!!! You liked 3 better than 2!!!
I like 3 a lot! I'll take Annette O'Toole over Margot Kidder any day! I love Richard Pryor! I love that Richard Pryor did the movie because he loves Superman. In 1978 Richard was on Johnny Carson and all he did was talk about Superman The Movie. Superman fighting Superman better than anything from Superman 2.
Yes, please react to “Supergirl” from 1984 prior to “Superman 4” from 1987. Same production team (Salkinds) as the earlier Superman films - and it’s a campy cult classic w/ Faye Dunaway and Peter O’Toole!
Superman III was always a childhood favorite. Good silly fun. Now that I’m older, I can really appreciate the love story between Clark & Lana. And you don’t need to be any age to appreciate the junkyard fight! That scene will never get old.
That scene alone is what saves this movie for me!
I ADORE Superman I and II. Regarding Superman III, I'll say what I always say: If Superman I and II didn't exist, this would be considered a very good film.
I think we judge it based on the fact that it had a lot to live up to. It IS entertaining, there's no doubt about that.
I Couldn't agree with you more: Christopher Reeve is SUPERB in this movie. And the yunkyard scene is certainly one of the greatest of the entire saga. It always gives me goosebumps.
If you’ve seen “Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip”, you’ll know why Pryor calmed down and did family-friendly roles in the 80’s after his rehab, but if you can check out his 70’s roles like “Silver Streak”, you’ll know why Pryor was too hip to play poor lovable Gus.
He made Superman because he has always loved the character. In 1978 Richard was on Johnny Carson and all he did was talk about Superman The Movie.
@@reesebn38 Actually, the movie was chopped down from an elaborate story with Brainiac as the villain, that would have introduced Supergirl, but there was so much plot that they had to spin off her own movie.
And yes, the lovable good-henchman didn’t become Pryor until he did the “Man, did you see that Superman movie?” routine on Carson that became the Colombian report.
@@ericjanssen394 That sucks! I wish we could have seen the Super-cousins together. Helen Slater looked perfect.
I know people give this movie flack, but it's fun because it has Richard Pryor! Lol! Hes the comic relief who becomes a pawn in Superman's downfall.
The whole Leaning Tower of Pisa thing gets hilarious when you know that the authorities have actually been *trying* to straighten it up to prevent collapse, and yet helping with that is apparently an "evil" act.
It’s not on the level of the first 2 films but still totally worth it for Superman vs Evil Superman, and just Chris Reeve in general
Great reaction! Richard Pryor is generally considered one of the greatest comedians of all time. He and Gene Wilder(Willy Wonka) were a duo in a few movies, but I've only seen one of them, which is 1989's See No Evil Hear No Evil. Pryor is a blind man, Wilder is a deaf man.
Annette O'Toole played Martha Kent (Clark's adoptive mother) on the TV series Smallville(2001-2011) Terence Stamp(General Zod) provided the voice of Jor-El in several episodes throughout the series. Christopher Reeve guest-Starred in two season 2 episodes.
You mean Pryor is considered the best comedian of all time. I love how Annette got the role because the producers said she knew more about Superman than they did.
he's number 2 after George Carlin
@@428chase To me they are a tied. George was brilliant at telling us about the real world and how it works. Richard was brilliant at telling us about real people and how we act.
@@reesebn38 well George has 10x material
and he has plenty to say about how people act talk and think and he covers everything from A-Z

That scene with the sister being assimilated by the computer always scared me as a child. LOL 😆
The reason Lana Lang was cut off the frame is you're watching a re-formatted version zoomed to 1.85:1. This film has a 2.35:1 ratio normally, Ollie. It should look like Superman 1 & 2 - superwide.
no matter what my mood is, when i see and hear you do your laugh, it always lifts my spirits!
There is at least one other version of this movie. All four Christopher Reeve Superman movies have alternate versions that are fairly well known that differ pretty widely from the theatrical releases.
The gag of Superman straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa, then making it leaning again, was originally written for Superman II.
The matchbook that says "become a programmer" always cracks me up, because that's basically me.
The actress who played Lana Lang also played Martha Kent in the iconic *Smallville* series! 😎
christopher reeve is an amazing actor
Annette O'Toole talking about seeing Chris as Superman for the first time is hilarious.
I kinda have a soft spot for Superman 3, as it was the first Superman film that I saw, despite (in my opinion) Superman 2 being the best. There are some great points in Superman 3 (the junkyard fight) and some terrifying ones (Vera becoming the cyborg), but from what I read, it could have been so much better. Thanks for the upload, great as always! Looking forward to the Dalton Bond reviews!
Superman the movie is the best. The characters in superman 2 was so one demisional. Badly written
Superman 3 was filmed in and out of Calgary and in the farmlands of Alberta. The opening credit scene and drunk scene is downtown Calgary showing the then 2 year old CTrain and the Calgary Tower. The police car, yellow fire trucks and 2&7 NewsFirst van are all from Calgary.
There was a period in the 1980s when newspapers in Britain printed bingo numbers and issued bingo cards, which gave readers the opportunity of winning cash prizes.
This was almost the arrival of Brainiac, which at that time had never been a cyborg or Kryptonian computer / robot, but a human with a 'computer-mind' villain.
The then-popular idea of the computer nerd as genius and creator of artificial life (happens in a number of first half of the 1980s movies, such as 'Weird Science'), is in full effect here.
I actually like Ross Webster basically because I like Robert Vaughan as a Actor but Webster is basically Lex Luthor 2.0 and originally the Villains were supposed to be Brainiac and Mr. Mxyzptlk shame finally the junk yard scene is brilliant
Superman 3 is basically Superman in a Roger Moore style Bond film and I love it 😁
Lana Lang actress Annette O'Toole became Martha Kent, the adoptive mother of Clark Kent/Superman in the Smallville series.
The actress that plays Lana played Martha on Smallville if you don’t know
I was hoping Bully Reeve would do the spiderman dance on the street.
The villains in this movie are Ross Webster, his sister Vera, and his partner Lorelei. Richard Pryor is much more of a gray character as Gus Gorman. He is redeemed because he helps save Superman by turning on the other three at the end of the movie.
“Oh heey, man!! That’s only his last name. He likes to be called ‘SUPERman.” 😁😁😂😆. I just now completely heard that line, and it’s hilarious!! Over many years, I love this movie. Complete opinion turnaround, for me.
This one is a bit silly and over the top but I love it, many funny things but also scary ones; evil superman and the computer turning the villain's sister into a freaky robot, pretty scary when you watch it as a kid.
The cast too, Robert Vaughn, Annette O'Toole, and Richard Pryor, love this guy, I miss him and Gene Wilder, they were such a great comedy duo.
Not to forget Pamela Stephenson (Lorelei) funny fact is, she's a funny comedian who acted in the hilarious show "Not the Nine O'Clock News", along with a young comedian named...Rowan Atkinson, yep, the one who'd become Mr Bean/Blackadder/Johnny English years later.
37:27 Your explanation makes total sense. Superman III was made by one director, whereas Superman II was made by one director and then more than 50% remade by another director. Totally makes sense that the tone of S2 feels pulled in opposite directions.
This movie is more about Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor, a comedian) than about Superman... That is why people were so disappointed. Lana Lang is Clark Kent's high-school sweetheart, from the comics... Annette O'Tool (Lana) plays Martha Kent in "Smallville" the TV Show.
Superman III fell flat largely for me when I was a kid. As an adult, I like it a lot more. It’s really extremely good. It’s just so different from what was established as excellent in the first two movies.
The alternate version of Superman III does have opening credits in space.
I watched Superman 1-3 on vhs many times in the 80s. And I recently rewatched them all because i was looking forward to seeing your reviews after. I gotta say Superman 3 is easily the breeziest, most fun installment for me. Reeves is so comfortable in the role and the script wisely explores his Clark Kent persona from a more charming hometown angle. And of course Evil Superman lets Reeves stretch the character even further. There's also lots of Superman action of the appealingly cartoonish variety that one would find in the older comics. And the bumbling villians aren't as grating as they were in the 1st movie. And imho 3 has some of the best special fx overall.
That video game was state of the art at the time.
It would be like a virtual reality rig today.
27:22 yes and it has features that you don’t want or need like a new phone does, but unlike a new phone it’s useless for internet access, no one’s made downloadable software for it, it can’t do wireless communication, it will try to kill you and it’s not travel sized.
Lois felt jealous of Clark because she had always loved Superman. She pretended to forget his secret identity in the previous movie to protect him from future worries and give him some peace.
Superman III(1983) is no classic, but it is a fun popcorn movie. Superman's Jekyll and Hyde duel in a junkyard is good. Annette O'Toole was an inspired choice for Lana Lang. Annette O' Toole is a Superman fan in real life. Richard Pryor was a movie star in the 1980's.
The problem with Kryptonite, I think in Superman The Movie, he said he was from another galaxy. He traveled 3 years in the pod, although near the speed of light which was many thousands of his years. Which is odd, cause the nearest galaxy is around 200,000 light-years away. So, a piece of his planet would have to travel near the speed of light and actually hit Earth. In Smallville, pieces of his planet were orbiting his spaceship and struck his town. At least this was more convincing about a source of Kryptonite. In Batman vs Superman, Kryptonite was created by the world engine before it was destroyed. Which is also plausible. In 'Superman the Movie', Lex Luthor hit some meteorite with radiation and made it lethal. Not sure how he figured that out.
There is a vast library of all the different kinds of Kryptonite and all of their unique different Effects on Superman/kryptonians....
So the story goes that this movie was reworked a lot during production, hence some of the disjointed parts. Margot Kidder, the actress who played Lois, remembers being on set for the duration of filming, but simply wasn't given anything to film beyond her few small parts, and kept wondering why she was even there (bear in mind, she was still paid a ton for the film... she just didn't do anything for it).
To explain the villains: the script (according to legend) originally featured two classic comic villains in Brainiac (a living super-computer) and Bizarro (an evil clone of Superman), but due to rewrites and budget cuts, it was scaled back to being a genius computer-programmer and Superman turning evil.
On that note, Christopher Reeves didn't even want to be in this film after the difficult production of the previous one, but was swayed purely because he was fascinated by the idea of Superman turning evil as a plot-point, and loved the concept of it. I'm a big fan of Bizarro, and honestly, I'd kill to have seen Christopher Reeves playing both him AND Superman in one movie... but this is close enough I guess.
As I said on the last Superman video, I actually prefer this one over Superman 2. It's an unpopular opinion but one I'm firm with. This film is far from perfect, but hell, so's the second. Deal with it.
The comedy (except for Richard Pyror's scenes) is actually pretty funny, I like Lana as a love-interest (the scene of her and Clark in the gym after the dance is such a sweet moment), and I can watch the face-off between Clark and Evil-Superman again and again, it's just great.
She also didnt like lester, i met her at a comic con and was glad to talk, talked with her for an hour. Was so nice.
Margot was dating Richard Pryor at the time and spent most of the production in Pryor 's trailer
@@samuelosler1994 yeah.. she was 'dating' Pryor
@@GantzIsSloppy no quotation marks needed, they were dating and she stayed with him the WHOLE shoot, holed up in his trailer, she has said that Pryor was unhappy with the script because he thought he would be able to play it more straight and dramatic and be really evil, Pryor was a huge Superman fan, in fact Pryor got Richard Donner the directing job on The Toy because he was such a huge fan of Donner's work on Superman The Movie, when Pryor said on for SIII, Pryor, Kidder and Donner and his wife all went out to dinner together and Donner warned him about the Salkinds and told him "get your money upfront"
@@samuelosler1994 quotations around that euphemism 'dating'. He been smashing that since Some Kind Of Hero LOL
I love this film and was absolutely terrified when she was turned into a robot, I had a double sided superman poster and she was on the back and I would sometimes peel back the corner to see her and scare myself 😂
I sense that you stay away from drinking liquor for fear of a burning throat. Then Gentleman Jack on the rocks is the one for you. It's incredibly smooth.
Pryor is 1 of the GREATEST comedians who ever lived
Gavan O’Herlihy as Brad Wilson is great, here.
The Clark kent / Lana Lang romance is one of those 'what-ifs' that abound in comics history. The recent Smallville and Superman's family series cover this from the side as it were, but she's the girl who Clark loved first.
There are comics from the 1960s especially that have Lana and Lois Lane as rivals, and Lucy Lane and Lena Thorul / Luthor make this even more complex if you include Supergirls' girl friends as well... complex. More complex if you include Superman's boy friends like Pete Ross and Jimmy Olsen as well. - and of course Supergirl's super-girlfriends in the Legion of Super-Heroes and Brainiac 5 was Supergirl's boyfriend for quite a while, before the Worf effect took that character over in the TV series.
Then there's also Lori Lemaris and Lyla Ler-Ol as well... - and of course Maxima, and...
Amazing film Superman III with Christopher Reeve, Richard Pryor, Annette O'Toole, Robert Vaughn and Margot Kidder thank you bro and don't forget reacts the spin off Supergirl starring by Helen Slater and next time Superman IV👍👍👍👍
Finally. This movie gets some love! I also enjoyed 3 more than 2. It's so frustrating that so many channels were told this movie stunk, so they skipped it. Thanks for giving it a shot and enjoying it. Also, if you were a Richard Pryor fan, which I was in the 80s, you'd have loved it even more. One more movie you need to give a chance is EXORCIST 2: THE HERETIC... it also got tons of hate. EXORCIST 2 and 3 I hope get a reaction here.
You really need to see Silver Streak as a Hitchcock, Bond(Jaws is in it) and Pryor fan. It also has an amazing Henri Mancini score. It’s so good I watch it yearly.
I love Richard Pryor in this movie. He is predominantly known for being a raunchy stand up comic, popular during the 70’s. He was an actor and writer, ghostwriting the movie Blazing Saddles.
Sequels often get a bad rep based on expectations to live up to the originals. I'm 50, saw Superman 2 and 3 in theaters, and I also prefer 3 over 2. The 1st movie was a lot to live up to. The same thing happened to The Exorcist 2 The Heretic and Exorcist 3... If The Exorcist never existed, both 2 and 3 would be considered good or great. Psycho 2 and 3, same thing. Jaws 2 and 3, same thing. Same with Alien 3 and 4, and Terminator 3 & 4, and the X-men sequels and spin-offs. All the movies I mentioned here, I would rate 7 out of 10 or higher.
Psycho 2 is amazing.
I love this movie! It's such a good laugh. As a child of the 1980s, it means a lot to me. On vacation at a holiday camp (UK thing), this movie was shown all day long for the entire week I was there. I must have watched it seven times that week!
Firstly, I liked Superman III, my favorite actor to play Supes, and my favorite comedian, as far as him using his super breath to put out the fire, could it had been because blowing on it could've fanned it and made it worse.
I *only* own a copy of Supe 3. (I mean it's the only Superman movie I own, I have other movies...I don't have, like, a shrine to Superman 3...well...anymore.)
So I'm with ya, Ollie! The only hands I'll throw at you are jazz hands!
(huh?)
I remember going to see this movie with my dad in the theater. I didn't get to see the ending because I got really sick. i was just a kid. I remember they were barely getting on those balloon floating chairs and then they showed the supercomputer. but at that point I ended up outside in the theater lobby with a headache and feeling like barfing. My dad stayed watching the movie while my mom came and picked me up. also the reason my dad stayed was because it was a double feature. I can't remember what the other movie was but my dad stayed to see that too. It wasn't until it came out on home video that I finally watched it in it's entirety.
some facts:
Christopher Reeve and Morgot Kidder almost didn't return to this movie. When Richard Donner was fired from Superman 2, both actors said they would not return to do a third movie out of respect for Donner. So the studio went searching for another actor to play Supes. Tony Danza agreed to play the role but the director was hesitant about it. So he begged Reeves to come back and he eventually gave in.
The little boy that Superman gives a picture from the photo booth is actually baby Clark Kent from the first Superman movie. this same child actor, Aaron Smolinski went on to appear in 'Man of Steel' where he is credited as "communications officer".
The original villain of the movie was going to be Mr. Mxyzptlk. a character that has appeared in a lot of the Superman comic books. but the idea fell through. so when they were trying to figure out what to do, they happened to catch and episode of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and saw Richard Pryor talk about how he would love to be in a Superman movie. So they reached out to him and hired him right away.
Lex Luthor was originally going to be in the movie but instead was replaced by Ross Webster. It's because of Webster that the modern day Lex Luthor is now a business tycoon. Up until the time the movie came out, 1983, Lex was portrayed as a mad scientist wearing a super suit. after the movie came out they revamped Lex Luthor to be more like Ross Webster.
The villian Brainiac was going to be featured in the movie as well. Brainiac is an evil cyborg able to control machines. Sounds a lot like the supercomputer at the end of the movie. but instead the character was saved for the comics and debuted the same month as the movie.
Another character that almost made it into the movie was Supergirl. the script had her fall in love with Kal-El. but later find out they are cousins. so that would have been a very weird awkward movie. Evil Superman would still be in the film but being controlled by Brainiac. luckily it didn't happen and instead Supergirl went on to get her own movie.
The video game sounds used during the missile chase scene are from the atari 2600 version of Pac Man.
Margot Kidder was written out of the movie as a punishment from the Salkinds because she criticized them after firing Richard Donner. Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor) also decided to not return because of Donner's firing.
Annette O'Toole (Lana Lang) went on to play the role of Clark Kent's Earth mom, Martha Kent, in the tv series Smallville. the tv show took a scene from the movie. Clark also took a lump of coal and crushed it into a diamond. he then gave it to Lana.
Christopeher Reeves had Alopecia. this is where his hair would completely fall out but would regrow. he would mostly lose clumps of hair. but by the time he got to Superman 4 he had to wear a wig because of his hair loss.
I definitely think you would like Christopher Reeve an Jayne Seymour (Live and Let Die) in Somewhere in Time. It’s a romance with a beautiful soundtrack by Bond composer John Barry.
24:25 Reeve at his most imposing, and violent moment. I love it👍
so a couple things. the kryptonite had tobacco in it which is possibly part of the reason he acted wierd, however, they were also aiming to use it as what is commonly what red kryptonite would do. red kryptointe effects the mind in all other superman versions.
as fof the supercomputer, it was some wierd version of one of superman's enemies named Braniac
The movie “Office Space” mentioned this movie on how Gus made his money.
You should check out the WB Supergirl series! Season 1 was really good and aired on CBS, but like many other series on the WB it took a serious nose dive in the following seasons. The episodes still had their gems on occasion though. But if you like the Goofiness of Superman 3 you should def give it a try. They even pay homage to Superman 3 when Supergirl gets exposed to Red Kryptonite! What is Red Kryptonite you ask? It’s an idea from the Golden Age of comics that effects Kryptoinans however the writer wants it to affect them. It’s their anything goes Maguffin if you will.
I'm pretty sure the junkyard fight was actually an internal struggle.
You should really watch Richard Pryor live at the sunset strip. It’s amazing and you’ll learn stuff too
So a silly film given a scene that, as a kid, I found very disturbing - when the computer turns Vera into a Cyborg. It happens so quickly too, all those plates attaching to her face.
I like Superman Returns it's super romantic and that scene of Superman strength is wow
I didn't skip that part of the video. I sub to you 4 a reason. To hear your discourse.
At last, someone else that likes this film.
I am so happy 😜
I loved Robert Vaughn as the villain in this
The metal woman scared the crap out of me when I was 8.
Superman III was amazing and brilliant...compared to Superman IV. 🤮 The junk yard fight is kinda cool and I did like Annette O'toole as Lana Lang. But the slapstick opening credits killed it for me right then and there!
Okay, *now* I'm curious at your reaction to Superman IV. Buckle up and brace yourself! :D
You’re my favorite movie reviewer. Love your enthusiasm
Superman 3 begins at the Unemployment Office and unfolds as a film about an African-American looking for gainful employment. The movie ends with Supes finding him work.
It's good. It's like FF Spirits Within. If the movie wasn't called Final Fantasy, it wouldn't have been judged the way it was. SM3 was really quite interesting, but the transformation is always going to be the highlight for me.. especially since it was my first scary encounter
Started off as a Brainiac and Bizarro film, got reduced to a supercomputer and Evil Superman, in a romantic comedy.
This film had the best special effects.
27:20
Really? My phone can't launch missiles so I don't know.. Pretty powerful
Congrats from Colombia. I loved your reaction. God bless You.
richard prior was a great comedian. did you ever see brewster's millions? he is even more featured in that one
I understand why you enjoy this movie. As a child, seeing it when it came out I thought it was great and both exciting and fun. Superman IV is not as good which killed off Superman movies. They had tried to explore something different in the mid-80s with Supergirl, so it's worth checking out that movie too, probably before you watch Superman Returns.
Nobody crucify me but if I had to take one Reeves Superman movie on a desert island it would be this one.
Now Superman 4 is the one you really need to prepare yourself for and be in a good mood before you watch it. It's objectively awful on all fronts. Still worth watching for Reeves alone though.
Superman Returns, drink lots of coffee before it so you don't fall asleep.
Yes! Of course Superman 3 is good. It’s the best. I’ve seen it more than any other. I grew up watching it over and over! The way they did a type of “Bizzaro” was interesting, but it really was a cut above the other movies
I think you underrate Webster a little. Even though the character had no sense of humour, Vaughn got some really humorous lines. Sadly, you talked over his best line (which might be the best line in the movie). By phone, Gus tells him Superman didn't die from the Kryptonite. Webster replies, "I asked you to kill Superman and you couldn't even do that one simple thing!" I think that line is brilliant...
"Clark Cubed" 🤣🤣🤣🥰
Wait was that a young Martha Kent from smallville?
Yup
I like the chemical plant fire scene and the junkyard scene better than anything in Superman II. I also like the Smallville scenes. But the rest is pretty bad. Really, the biggest accomplishment for this film is providing Office Space with a plot point.
I Love this movie ! Tanks ! Congrats from Brazil 👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!
If the framing aspect ratio your showing is accurate to what you watched then the film image was cropped for 16x9 tv's and monitors from its original 2:35 letterbox aspect ratio. Also check out Reeve in Somewhere in Time, Deathtrap, & the very little seen comedy Noises Off.
Yeah, I was gonna say. At 13:33, Ollie mentions weird framing, I went and looked at my copy of the movie, and whoever is speaking is usually fully in frame, not half cut off like it shows here. So I think you're correct, the aspect ratio here is accurate to what he watched, and thus it is a cropped image.
Christopher Reeve IS the best Superman EVER. Superman The movie made Superheroes movies great
Originally the producers intended for the super computer to be Brainiac.
Now I know alot of people hate superman 3 and 4 but I love all 4 of them
This is by far my favorite of the Superman movies when I am remembering it. While watching it (however), I am reminded that I hate everything associated with Smallville. My brain just blocks those parts out when I remember it.
I’ll go further and say that Superman III is the most entertaining Superman film for me, more entertaining than I and II. I is an epic film but also a little too drawn out for me as well.
Brewster's Millions
I know that it might not be considered the best Superman film but I enjoy it, It tries to be fun. It's set at a time that the computer age is really starting to take off which is probably why they're such a major part of the plot, I'm sure that they just wanted to make the film relevant to the time. Finally it's special to me as it was the only film my dad took me to see when I was young and I probably wanted the ATM to give me free money as well!!!
I enjoy your reactions so thank you, I've just became a subscriber.
I love Richard Pryor!
Have you ever watched the RoboCop trilogy? If not, you should definitely check them out on the channel. Just a suggestion.
You might want to do the 90's TV series Lois and Clark, it is really good.
13:30 That's because whatever version you're watching has the wrong aspect ratio. The movie should be "scope" or 2:35 (The image is cut off)
i thought the funniest line was "i asked you to kill superman, and you are telling me you couldn't do that one.. simple .. thing??
