He clearly never met Joseph Biden, Obama, Clinton family, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Bill De Blasio, and Nancy Pelosi. They're leaders and kneel very quickly.... Just sayin....
Perfect villain. Over the top, classic English tone, cocky but reserved. The televised call-out is classic boxing fight material! KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!! - one of the greatest lines ever.
I remember Terence Stamp talking about one of the more subtle ways he wanted to show Zod regarding everyone he met as being completely beneath him, was to have him deliberately not quite look them directly in the face, he does it a few times with different characters & it's brilliant. The one, true Zod.
Terence Stamp was utterly superb in this film....one detail, at 3.11 I smiled as i noticed his natural, Bow, Cockney accent, crept in ....if you DARE!!. What a wonderful yet low profile actor he is...
3:01 I love how General Zod hasn't even seen Superman in the flesh, but just the very IDEA of some 'superman' defying him, standing up to him, putting him in his place is enough to send him into an emotional tailspin of rage lol Stamp was perfect in this movie.
@@productivestruggle9489 It's always hilarious how Zod loses his nerve and Superman outsmarts him again. When I first saw the movie, I couldn't help but smile when Superman tricked him into thinking he had lost all his powers. Terence Stamp REALLY delivered as Zod. This movie would never have felt as epic without him. True, movies need strong heroes but they also need an equally memorable villain and Stamp almost stole the show.
@scruffnutz I loved her since I was a young man in the 80s. Back in a time when the America at least seemed like a good place to call home. People know what was right and called out wrong when they saw it.
"I am General Zod, your ruler. Yes,today begins a new order. Your lands, your pocessions, your very lives will be given in tribute to me,General Zod. In return for your obedience, you will enjoy my generous protection. In other words, you will be allowed to live.":):) Classic!
Teremce Stamp should have won an Academy Award for this. He goes all the way in. This whole thing does not work if he's not hardcore all the way as Zod.
@0:37, Clifton James. He was a peace officer in 'Live and Let Die', 'The Man With the Golden Gun', 'Silver Streak', and 'Superman II' just for starters.
I love the fact that despite the fact he's conquered another planet ( earth ) Zod becomes immediately disinterested and bored at just how easy it was to conquer and immediately wants a challenge .
Even though Terence was in the first Superman film for only a few minutes, he shone in it, especially for the defiant speech he gives Marlon Brando: *"You will bow down before me! First you, and then one day, your heirs!"* So, technically, that was his comeback film. But *"Superman II"* was his full on comeback. Gave gravitas to a character that was nothing like the version in the DC Comics. Terence Stamp made that character better.
Strange thing is, he played mostly good guys. His debut was as Billy Bud which established him as a pretty boy actor. He definitely aged out of that by the time he was Zod. I think he would have been a great Thufir Hawat in Dune. Although I do like Stephen McKinley Henderson. Of course, if Stamp had been Thufir, Villanueve probably would have still cut him him out of Dune 2.
3:00 Terence Stamp can't maintain his slightly posh Zod accent when he has to show anger, instead reverts back to his London accent! "Oooo is this Supaman? Supaman! Come ter me! Cor blimey guvna! You bleedin slaaaaaag!"
Yes, you'd think he'd make an effort. He sounds more like a costermonger advertising his blood oranges than the most evil man in the universe. I suppose nobody could tell the difference and they all moved on when they filmed that.
I think you need to add the scene where they are banished to the Phantom Zone. "You will bow down before me Jor-El! Both you... and one day...your heirs!"
"Girl or no Girl your gonna spit teeth" and "Now finally take my hand and swear ETERNAL Loyalty to Zod" have always been my faviote lines from Superman II
I could never ignore,that the 3 villains were only supposed to have the same powers as Superman,but yet Zod displayed telekinetic powers by using his hands to move ppl and objects, without touching them.They never explained how he was able to do that.
Terence has said he was at an ashram for several years prior to filming this, where he and all other attendees were required to be "present" and aware at all times, and that he just used that awareness and present-ness in playing Zod. He didn't worry about making him evil, or anything like that. If you look at some of his scenes, you can kind of sense that and see that.

“You are not the president. No one who leads so many could kneel so quickly.” I love that line.
You are not the president. No one who leads so many could be that senile.

Just sayin....
@@shawbros At least he don't kneel to foreign and domestic terrorists.
"You are not the president. No one who leads so many could be so ignorant"🤣
I think it's great that Terence Stamp was also the voice of Jor-El in Smallville.
Terence Stamp played Zod brilliantly.Super movie.
Ursa was the real treat, however. "Superman!!!"
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 Yeah she did a really good job with that character.
J.D. Vance could have played Zod also.
The Zod from smallville wasn't even intimidating at all.
I've never noticed his obviously English accent before 😂 🤦🏾♂️
Terence Stamp is an absolute legend. Great actor.
Perfect villain. Over the top, classic English tone, cocky but reserved.
The televised call-out is classic boxing fight material!
KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!! - one of the greatest lines ever.

The one, true Zod.
Terence Stamp's voice in this is just so cool. What a choice to play Zod 👌
His voice (and performance) in The Limey is also fantastic. Same with the 1984 film The Hit. Just a great, versatile actor 👍
One of the best sequels ever. Actually liked it more than the first.
Amen to that.
Zod wasn't the first man on the moon. It was Neil before Zod.
(I'll get me coat...)
I really love this version of Zod. Terence Stamp played it as a masterchief.
I read that as 'masterchef' the first time.
@@ppuh6tfrz646 Zod is the new host of Hell's Kitchen.
@@seanwebb605 him and Ramsay together in a failing restaurant- yikes 😂🙌
@@sportinlife1 "Why did you bring undercooked proteins when you knew that I would kill you?"
I saw this flick at age 7 when it dropped. When SM crushed Zod's hand, the audience just went absolutely berserk. The seats were shaking.
Mas Zod's mereceu o *"esquenta"*
Zod was outrageously evil. And also funny...
"Who is this imbecile" 🤣🤣🤣
The new Zod totally lacked his hilarious put downs and sheer arrogance
Terence Stamp was utterly superb in this film....one detail, at 3.11 I smiled as i noticed his natural, Bow, Cockney accent, crept in ....if you DARE!!. What a wonderful yet low profile actor he is...
Glad to have meet the actor who played the big guy working with Zod. Jack O'Halloran was so nice at a Comic-con in Fayetteville, NC.
Lightning in a bottle character and performance. Utterly superb.
President, bowing down: “Oh God!”
General Zod, correcting him: “Zod”
-My favorite part of the movie
Terrance Stamp was perfect for this role. Great actor and he nailed the character.
Terrace stamp played the role fantastic you can't beat the earlier superman movies
Classics great memories
“Who is this imbecile?” Best line ever!!! Love Terrance in this movie
Ha ha. You beat me to it. I was looking for that line lol.
3:01 I love how General Zod hasn't even seen Superman in the flesh, but just the very IDEA of some 'superman' defying him, standing up to him, putting him in his place is enough to send him into an emotional tailspin of rage lol Stamp was perfect in this movie.
It is utterly hilarious how he gets so heated, that he exclaims his name a second time

Terence Stamp absolutely owned this role. Probably my top villain depiction
Ursa. Was. A. Baaabe. Her eyes and her haircut… magnifique
@scruffnutz I loved her since I was a young man in the 80s.
Back in a time when the America at least seemed like a good place to call home.
People know what was right and called out wrong when they saw it.
@scruffnutz
yeah..... and she likes it rough
LOL
I’d kneel before her.
I always loved how Zod was almost bored with his powers. Ursa openly embraced hers and Non was like a curious child at times.
I think my favorite line Terence Stamp delivers as General Zod is …
“Who is this imbecile?”
Who is this imbecile? Where is he?
Yesss!
Said quietly, but still menacingly...
This is probably my favourite Superman movie.
Terence Stamp really did bring the heat to this film
Yes, He did.😊👍👊.....🖖
He was scary just uttering a few lines.
T.Stamp is a very skilled actor...he makes every scene believable
I like how the make-up, clothing, and hairstyles were still 80's even though they came from a different planet.
Man I love Superman II so much. Absolute classic !
There is one who will not kneel before you....."Who Is this imbecile?" 😂😂😂😂😂
I wish I knew.
I don't know who he is, but I know he's a double amputee.
"I win! I always win..."
Literally just escaped his imprisonment in the Phantom Zone.
"Who s this Imbecile?" Always cracked me up!
These old movies are so much better at making someone feel indestructible.
Terence Stamp Is Zod Like Christopher Reeve Is The Unique Superman ❤
Being a child of the seventies and having Star Wars come out and then this was mind-bending
For a man with an unimposing physical presence, his voice of villainy was as big and memorable as vader's
Terence Stamp nailed the part so good it was iconic. The remake can top the special effects, but it can't touch his acting.
Zod : who is your Superior?
General: I answer ONLY to the President
Zod : AND HE WILL ANSWER TO ME!!
Good luck with biden he can snswer to himself
The always great Mr. Terence Stamp as General Zod.
This was my favorite of the Superman movies from that era
"Superman II" is STILL The Best Superman movie to this day.
"I am General Zod, your ruler. Yes,today begins a new order. Your lands, your pocessions, your very lives will be given in tribute to me,General Zod. In return for your obedience, you will enjoy my generous protection. In other words, you will be allowed to live.":):) Classic!
Teremce Stamp should have won an Academy Award for this. He goes all the way in. This whole thing does not work if he's not hardcore all the way as Zod.
This is my favourite Superman movie.
Zod "You'r not the president no one who leads so many could possiby kneel so quickly"
Superman II was DEF the best one!
"So this is Planet Houston... a very strange surface."
😂😂😂😂😂
Terence Stamp is the best Zod!
Terrance Stamp is a badass..
Terrence Stamp's rolleyes game is top-tier.
We need more leaders like Zod! Order would be enforced efficiently.
Terrance is a brilliant actor
I love how Zod is sinister and posh when he's talking and then when he shouts he becomes a cockney football hooligan
@0:37, Clifton James. He was a peace officer in 'Live and Let Die', 'The Man With the Golden Gun', 'Silver Streak', and 'Superman II' just for starters.
Yeah, I loved Clifton's role in James Bond!!!! What an hilarious sidekick he turned out to be!! hahahahah
Sheriff J. W. Pepper!!! Even he couldn't stop Zod 😂
He couldn't stop Bond so HOW would he be able to stop Zod??
I like Zod but I also like Non. His little squeaks when he tries to talk are priceless lol
I love the fact that despite the fact he's conquered another planet ( earth ) Zod becomes immediately disinterested and bored at just how easy it was to conquer and immediately wants a challenge .
Fucking amazing. Superman I and II were absolutely gems.
Superman II the best ever Superman Movie
Superman 2 - one of the best superhero movies of all time🎉🎥🍿
Zod acting is superb
My brother and I are from Houston, and we still occasionally refer to it as "Planet Hoostin" to this day.
nice XD
And what leader do you follow??....And so be it, you will kneel to me as well. Pledge your loyalty to me and l will spare your town, Hoostin.
no one will ever top Stamps zod theres more to zod than flying..his acting is untouchable
Every villain from Crypton dressed like a Vidal Sassoon hair stylist.
Kneel before Zod...and I shall give you a relaxing shampoo before the cut.
Zod had a moment of clarity and boredom when he said..." I always win". 😴
This general zod is my favorite.
Anche il mio
Your favourite what?
Back when villains were pompous bullies and not tortured misunderstood basket cases.
Zod: “No one who leads so many could possibly kneel so quickly.”
Biden: Hold my ice cream cone
Interesting that Terrance Stamp created such a riveting character with probably less than a page of dialogue.
Zod touching the water "it's a very strange surface" like he's never seen it before😂
Even though Terence was in the first Superman film for only a few minutes, he shone in it, especially for the defiant speech he gives Marlon Brando: *"You will bow down before me! First you, and then one day, your heirs!"* So, technically, that was his comeback film. But *"Superman II"* was his full on comeback. Gave gravitas to a character that was nothing like the version in the DC Comics. Terence Stamp made that character better.
Um, everyone knows he says "First you, and then one day, your ASS!" 🙃
Superman 2 was the best movie
Yes!!! I watched it many times as a kid. Still love watching clips from the move. Timeless!!!!
One of the best movie villains of all time
I like how Zod is bored with his powers, Ursa is fascinated with hers and Non is basically a child with his.
Terrence Stamp is sooo good
Terence Stamp should have been a hell of lot more movies. He's great as the villian.
Strange thing is, he played mostly good guys. His debut was as Billy Bud which established him as a pretty boy actor. He definitely aged out of that by the time he was Zod. I think he would have been a great Thufir Hawat in Dune. Although I do like Stephen McKinley Henderson. Of course, if Stamp had been Thufir, Villanueve probably would have still cut him him out of Dune 2.
3:00 Terence Stamp can't maintain his slightly posh Zod accent when he has to show anger, instead reverts back to his London accent!
"Oooo is this Supaman? Supaman! Come ter me! Cor blimey guvna! You bleedin slaaaaaag!"
From The Limey: "Tell 'im coming. Tell 'im I'm FUXXING COMINGGGGGGG!!!!"
Yes, you'd think he'd make an effort. He sounds more like a costermonger advertising his blood oranges than the most evil man in the universe. I suppose nobody could tell the difference and they all moved on when they filmed that.
If you DA-RE!
Yeah I like this depiction of Zod better than the new one
My favorite Superman movie and villain.
Terrance Stamp. One of a Kind.
Agreed. Fantastic in one of my favorite movies, The Hit. If you haven't seen it, check it out. From '84 with John Hurt and Tim Roth.
I loved Superman 1 and 2. Chris Reeve as Superman, that nice costume, the sets, the villians, the humor,..it just was so wholesome.
I think it is the best one, a true one of a kind production with the best actors.
It is the best one,and the first major film that set the benchmark for fights between superheroes and villians.
I like the glow that flashes red like our Krypton sun, but not this irritating noise! Make way!
I love how easily bored he gets when he accomplishes a goal.
I think you need to add the scene where they are banished to the Phantom Zone. "You will bow down before me Jor-El! Both you... and one day...your heirs!"
Jor-El? Our Gaoler? (Zod is a Brit so it has to be "Gaol")
"Girl or no Girl your gonna spit teeth" and "Now finally take my hand and swear ETERNAL Loyalty to Zod" have always been my faviote lines from Superman II
I think Ursa by herself would have made a great world ruler. I loved the interaction with Gene Hackman.
Ursa is hotter than the Krypton sun!
"Who is this imbecile? And where is he?" LOL!!
😂
THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST SUPERMAN MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!!..............SUPERMAN 2
Zod has the driest humor 😂
“I see you are practiced in worshiping things that fly ? Good.”
Love it !
Zod making more dudes kneel in front of him than Puff...
not that many :)
@taketheredpill1452 😆
I could never ignore,that the 3 villains were only supposed to have the same powers as Superman,but yet Zod displayed telekinetic powers by using his hands to move ppl and objects, without touching them.They never explained how he was able to do that.
Superman also had TK. He just never used it that much.
“There is one man who will never kneel before you”
“Who is this imbecile?”
That line always cracks me up
Today they would probably say retard, but imbecile has more comic value, cretin would also work.
“ I will kneel before you if it will save lives.” Zod: “ It will, starting with your own.”
Almost made the edit. Cutting it felt like abandoning a dog in the woods.
Lex Luthor: "Don't these people ever use the door!"
Superman 2, the best!!! From Brazil
Bom demais!
Zod: "What do you want?"
Luthor: "Australia.".
Terence has said he was at an ashram for several years prior to filming this, where he and all other attendees were required to be "present" and aware at all times, and that he just used that awareness and present-ness in playing Zod. He didn't worry about making him evil, or anything like that. If you look at some of his scenes, you can kind of sense that and see that.
Come and kneel before Zod. "Zod” 😂😂😂🔥
The President : Oh God !
Zod : ZOD !
lol
