Superman II Deleted Scene - The Strength of Three (1980) Christopher Reeve Movie HD
Superman agrees to sacrifice his powers to marry Lois, unaware that three Kryptonian criminals he inadvertently released are conquering Earth.
There was also a deleted scene where we see luthor taken away along with the depowered Super villians off in four snow vehicles after Superman refuses Luthor's deal to "wipe the slate" clean
The door was always open for me. Classic Gene.
This scene had completed music and special effects, and yet it was deleted? I would’ve personally included it. Better than the scene we got in the Lester cut.
It would have worked but I think they didn't refilm it due to Gene Hackman not wanting to work with Lester.
Gene Hackman the best lex Luther ever
Christopher Reeves the best super man ever
Christopher Reeve.
Disagree,but what do u know
and Terrance Stamp? great actor..not the best villian in this role i guess
@Chris Warren Best Lex Luthor is Clancy Brown.
Best Lex and freshest take on the character was Jesse Eisenberg. A true Lex Luthor for millenials
This was in the tv version the Salkinds threw together. Donner didn't get a chance to film them going back to retrieve Lois and Lex just cuts to the theatrical entrance of them flying in on their backs cuz Hackman wouldn't come back to shoot for Lester, possibly due to scheduling conflicts, other commitments, or loyalty to Donner.
No doubt, the BEST Superman movie.
Only the Donner-cut.
@@ralphgoodman4670 Nope.
I prefer the first one, but I still love both cuts of SII. I'm hoping to see an official Ultimate Cut one day.
@@DeanStricksonthe only part of the lester cut that is better is the line "General, would you care to step outside."
@@ralphgoodman4670Nah....i loved the Lester cut. All the action scenes in the Donnot cut just didnt do it for me.
Keep in mind Lex and Lois are like at the North Pole wearing summer time New York city clothing. LOL
Been next to superman she would feel warm..so im assuming the same when they were riding with the other kryptonian villians? Lol
I doubt Zod, Ursa, and Non would have taken the time to let them pack their winter clothes for the trip to destroy Superman.
@@Top10soon I second this theory...like...they must all be flying radiators!
Keep in mind you're not a very funny troll.
You know I never gave it any thought as a kid but yeah The Fortress of Solitude would have some kind of Alarm system...even like a cheap ADP one to let Superman know somebody was sneaking in. In the theater they did just waltz right in without a problem
In the Arrow verse he has a Giant Key believe it or not.
I'm very lucky to be friends with Jack O'Halloran! he is a very kind man.
he comes across that way.
He really stuck it to the Salkinds. I think one of his paychecks bounced and he went in and threatened not only to walk off the picture, but to get them in trouble with the unions.
He was really good in the movie. He should have done more comedy; I think he was well suited for it.
And I guess I have to ask....he doesn't merely grunt or whistle or roar in real life, right? (j/k)
William Shaw did Jack really get gypped by the Salkinds? Doesn't surprise me
Steven Joiner If that's true, he seriously needs to be in an episode of "Supergirl" on the CW. They already have had Sarah Douglas and even though they had a General Non in the series, Jack's portrayal of Non was fantastic. I know Terence Stamp's voice was in the series "Smallville" and Zod was mentioned in "Supergirl", but it would be great see Jack O'Halloran again.
Steven Joiner I got to meet Jack at WonderCon a few years ago and you’re so right. He was chatting up the audience, posing for pics, sharing stories before a Donner reunion panel. Very sweet guy.
0:03 I love how they sound like *AIRPLANES* when they're flying
Why do you capitalize and bold "airplanes". Also, I think that is just the music.
Yes
I love the scene and the dialogue and music
He is one we are 3 it is the strength of three that will defeat that him together
Man what a great scene, I wish it wasn't cut
"Door was always open for me". And then when Non growls 😂 😂
Chris Reeve should have body doubled for all 3 of the villians when flying. They just look like people on wires. He actually convinced me he was flying.
You could always say that Superman had years of experience flying so he was a pro and the 3 villains were new at it therefore a bit awkward.
What’s with the aircraft sound effects when General Zod & co. fly? 😆 🤦♂️
amazon also abridged the Hell out of it! they deleted scenes with Clark and Louis after he depleted his powers. lots of cuts that were in the theatrical movie that amazon had no business deleting! I remember Superman II! and I know what is missing!
Pat Benatar sure looks hot lol
That is not her.
Love to see Non battle with the Hulk.
Chris Meyers Kryptonians don't do well against green radioactive things.
Ralph Goodman exactly. Wanna see the Hulk pummel him into the ground.
There are three crossovers where superman figthed with hulk
Superman won 2 and hulk won 1
So probably non is going to win
How about a debate instead?
Moderator: So, what's your take on the mass Muslim immigration in Germany and England?
Hulk: Raarrrrrrr!
Non: [squeak]
love making scenes between Christopher Reeves and lois lane. Chris gives up his life for love!
Mighty Icesis NO, he WANTED to be a normal person, feeling that he had fulfilled his obligation in Superman I. It was AFTER he lost his powers, that he gave up his love to RETURN to becoming Superman, out of sense of DUTY, including losing the ghost of of his father, because Jor-El could only restore Superman's powers by using his final essence to do it. And after that, Superman and Lois couldn't be together again, so Superman reversed time again and erased everything-- and Zod went back into the Phantom Zone as before, undoing all the damage that Zod did.
That was in the Donner-cut... and WB should have been SHOT for cheaping out so they didn't have to pay Brando. Seriously, a nuke on the Eiffel Tower? SERIOUSLY?
The Donner-cut showed the original Hackensack-nuke releasing Zod from the Phantom Zone, after Superman threw it into outer space and it exploded. THAT made sense, since he had promised Eva Teschmacher that he'd save Hackensack rather than California. Otherwise New Jersey would have gotten trashed, and Zod would have remained in the Phantom Zone.
This is a cool scene I love the dialogue and the music
....."4 if you count him twice."
This is where the Marvel v DC movie war breaks down.
Marvel fans don't recognise any film with Marvel characters which wasn't made by Marvel Studios. So they claim that Marvel have had no duds, because films that came out before Marvel Studios weren't part of the MCU.
These same Marvel fantards say that there has never been a great DC movie.
But, DC don't have their own movie studio, so, therefore, EVERY DC movie made is recognized.
So when Marvel fans say that DC have not had any decent movies, point to Superman I and II, The Burton Batman films, and the Dark Knight series of films. The "DCU" doesn't exist, because Warner Bros make all the DC movies, from Superman I to "Justice League".
I love this scene. I trimmed it down a bit and put it in my edit of the film. Now i just gotta learn how to upgrade the visuals
I'd like to see your edit
@@alecthom4001
Maybe when its done ill put it out there. Did u ever make a fan edit?
Cool, how did you make this fan edit?
@@julzyboy8960
Me? I used Davinci Resolve
Zod: "Prepare to die!"
Superman: "Ok, let me write up my last will and testament, double-check my life insurance policy, make arrangements for people to take care of my pets and water my plants--it's going to take a while to make preparations, so could you come back in a day or two?"
Why was this Scene Cut Out🙆♂️❣❣❣
Do you like apple pies?
Vegeta, Nappa e Raditz
Non. "Aaaaaahhhhhrr 😵 that fucking police lights in my face again aaaaaahhhhhrrrrr 🙈
Le querían hacer un portonazo a Superman
Awesome stuff
Wow!!! They should have left that in there.
Lame....I can see why they cut this scene.
Well it was unnecessary, since they got into the fortress either way, and so it would be a repetitive for them to enter twice.
If this was made in the DVD-era then it would have been in the Extended cut.
And This Deleted Scene Was On Television.
Fantástic thanks
The 3 Kryptonian criminals were strong, but Non was the dumb one!
maybe he ate too much naan, filled up on it.
+ARMED DEFENSE Thanks Captain Obvious.
Non wasn't dumb, just mute; he was "Non the Destroyer," a ruthless soldier who launched a massacre. Kryptonians wouldn't sentence a half-wit to the Phantom Zone.
NON IN REAL LIFE WAS A ASSHOLE
Not as hot as the female in Man of Steel though.
Isn't this on the Donner Cut?
This was a good scene I wonder why it was deleted 🤔
Pfft. I can see why they left it out. It was a terrible idea.
evilwarlockofchaos it's not bad per se, but it ruins the film-tempo in the theater since it simply draws out the entrance. Timing is everything in a theater, but on DVD the pacing can be slower. Look at Game of Slows: seven fucking years and they still haven't fought those fucking wight-walkers in a real battle. Just each other... over, and over, and over again.
It was to buy time to set the trap in the Fortress. That's what the scene was for.
Man of Steel was not a very good movie, but at least it Gave Zod more realistic motivations than this one for what he did.
Revenge is enough motivation? Gawd, it was practically 99% of Gladiator.
All 3 villains were english??
To be honest, I can see why most of these deleted scenes were deleted, they were completely unnecessary and often kind of badly delivered. The Donner cut, as much as I fully think that Richard Donner should have been allowed to complete making both movies, is full of alternative cuts that are weaker with a lot of bad delivery in them. It's a nice little novelty to see a different edit of the movie but it's not a very good one. The problem was far more fundamental. Donner should not have been replaced by the moronic studio after completion of the first. Such a ridiculous decision. The first original Superman The Movie has an amazing balance of gripping drama, epic scope, cinematography, acting, powerful storytelling and just the right amount of humour and comic book style. The rest became far too silly, poorly handled, weakly delivered and then the newer ones are just big computer generated, angry, miserable and aggressive masturbations by/for airhead comic book fanboys. The original was an epic piece of film-making and storytelling in it's own right as well as being a defining Superman film in every aspect.
The studio didn't fire Donner, the producers did. The studio had no control over the decision, because they only handled distribution.
I tend to agree. It's about CHARACTER, and today's writers seem to have little understanding of who Superman IS, and less concern with that than they have with more impressive effects.
Austin Dyer Donner shouldn’t have been replaced, but according to commentary by the surviving Salkind producer, Donner was completely unapproachable. Despite the super success of Superman: The Movie, Donner was still full of rage and flaming resentment toward the Salkinds. The producers attempted to communicate, make peace, put the past behind them and finish Superman II with Donner back in the director’s chair, but he refused to be civil. Everything was all about “fuck you” and “see I told you so.” Once it became apparent that Donner would not relent, the Salkinds passed the directing duties to Richard Lester.
John Fitzpatrick the decision to fire Donner ultimately ruined the franchise
Superman the Movie is very outdated by now. The new Superman movies are so much better.
Funny scene for it to be serious.
Superman Returns was such a letdown for me when I went to see it. This is the best sequel and could be my favorite Superman movie. Actually I consider the first two one movie both are so good. Spacey as Luthor is horrible along with the whole story of Returns is just not on the level of these great movies. I did like Routh as Kent/Kal-el he was great.
Agreed it's one awesome four hour epic
If I was making the movie I would have used the three to destroy everything in sight
vsboy25 that would be ignoring the character; Non was the destroyer, while Zod was a DICTATOR and wanted to rule over everything and everyone. Obviously Zod would not allow Non to destroy anything without purpose.
Ralph Goodman all three should have shown Earth no mercy.total destruction of cities should have been included.
In Donner's original version scripted by his friend Tom Mankiewicz in 1977, the 3 villains took over the whole world. This was to be seen in various montage sequences just as ironically Clark stepped into the crystal chamber that stripped him of his superpowers. destruction of cities were included in Donner's version o Superman II i.e. War Of The Worlds style of the 3 evil Kryptonians with Superman's powers wrecking havoc around the globe (Russia, France, England, USA, Japan).

"The second is that Lois Lane actually dies during the earthquake in Superman, and it's this tragedy that necessitates Superman reversing time in the final version of Superman’s climax. Meanwhile, Superman II not only revolves around the three Kryptonian villains, *Zod, Ursa, and Non invading and enslaving Earth*, but also Lois Lane discovering that Clark Kent is Superman and beginning their romantic and sexual relationship at exactly the worst possible moment."

*ZOD:* From this day forward - there is only Zod! 409-431 "SCENES OMITTED"
Its funny that Zod was supposed to be such a great military strategist but failed to capitalize on the 3 vs 1 strategy in combat. They could have killed Superman but nobody wanted to see that, did they? The villan always has to lose, no matter how ridiculous the odds seem to be in his favor.
wow
Holy bad visual FX. No wonder that movie bored me as a kid when I saw it in theaters.
pretty cheesy 🧀
Too bad they didn't put in the Superman robots into this.
Effects budget. That, and the Donner-verse didn't have the robots.
@@mainstreetsaint36 True, but it would of been cool. Of course Chris would be playing multiple roles for that scene.
No one can play Luthor better than Hackman, that's his signature. Nailed it.

This scene was in the 80s TV version I recorded and watched over and over
RIP Margot Kidder
I've noticed that when they fly, the three Kryptonian criminals look awkward compared to Superman. This makes sense because they had only started flying a few days earlier. Of course, Superman, flying in spandex and a cape, looks better than the Kryptonians, who wear black satin pajamas.
This is a deleted scene? On the old VHS copy I used to have, this scene was included. Of course, it was recorded off Danish TV back in the mid-eighties, so the station might have obtained and broadcast a different edition.
pHD77 ABCTV did the same thing in the 80s
What you have is the ABC TV Cut which included this scene and many others that eventually found their way into the Richard Donner Cut of the film years later.
It's all part of Luthor's genius plan, secretly working with Superman to get the villains to the Fortress and taking away their powers!
You might be on to something there. Luthor might think that he can't beat Zod and company but Superman is a good guy so he should eventually be a pushover. Zod might kill him on a whim so he is working to eliminate that threat.
“If you’ve only seen the first part, you haven’t seen the best part.”
Reminds me of the tag line for part 3 where they tried to say it would be the greatest Superman adventure yet. Boy did that turn out to be a lie. What a waste of film that was save for the junkyard sequence.
alucard624 what I quoted was from the trailers for “Superman II.”
@@darthkurlandYeah, I remember that when I was a kid seeing it in 1980.
I love the theatrical version better, personally.
NON! NO one can play him better than Jack O'Halloran.
Love the music score in superman 2 for the villains.
General Zod sounds like Goldfinger saying “prepare to DIE”!!
Actually it was in the tv version some years later.
Superman should have just took every nuke in the world and put it in the fortress, and set them to go off when they entered.
That way he could have killed Zod, AND avoided Superman IV.
Zod is also a Kryptonian with the same powers under a yellow sun on Earth. Nukes wouldn't have killed him neither, if they also can't kill off Superman!
Lol
Unfortunately, Zod and company wouldn't have been killed, but it would have been worth a try to avoid Superman IV.
Love the dry humour
ABC included this scene in their 4 broadcasts back in the 80s. It made no sense because it shows the three flying into the FOS alone. Then it cuts to the three flying in with Lois and Luther on their backs as seen in the theatrical cut
How much footage of those movies did they shoot anyway? There must be enough footage left over for at least three other movies!
About 5.5 hours over 2 films
Most of them them are alternate takes. And Donner did a lot of them. That was one of the main reasons why there was budget and scheduling overruns.
Awesome scene
The original Zod!
Stamp is still around.
Yes ! Awesome Zod, not actual garbages
imagine Dick Cheney as Lex Luther
Nah, more like the penguin. "WACK wack wack."
Lex Luthor is nowhere near as evil
Oh well ok didnt know that part exist after watching this movie 25 + years ago
Cool. Thought I'd seen everything there was to see about this, already.
The cult seem to know about my life more than I do so who knows what it all means
Zod is like a father, ursa is like the mother, and non is like a big child.
Big...
Yes man yes man yes man
Nobody rides General Zod!
3 is better than one
Seen it!!!

Annoys me how people make fun of good entertaining movies
Hey man don't forget I heard rumors Superman relaunching this year 2018 the series called Krypton showing the On the Actually planet before Superman sent to Earth as a Baby
That already happened, was on the Sci-fi channel.
That's alot time just to get through a fucking invisible door.
Definitely needed to be deleted
40 years ago 18/03/2020.
Meanwhile Superman returns: Lex waltzes in
spuerman II is 1981
Jason Crowned Superman 2 was released in parts of Europe in December 1980. The US release was in June 1981 so you are correct when it came for The US audience.
the Europe Release is much better than the US Release.
Non Was Replaced by Tor El on Man of Steel. Appearancewise Shannon's Zod is a Fusion between Stamp's Zod and Non
I just watched Man of Steel last week and really didn’t care for it. I was surprised so many people liked it. I thought Superman Returns was a better movie.
.. I like it when it’s label in some dramatic fashion as “deleted” scene was it actually an alternate take on a scene that was used in the final film
This scene is not in the theatrical cut or the Directors cut
OK Lex brigs up a valid point: Lex did not encounter the forcefield. Why? It's a plot hole folks, and why this was cut.
There is more missing footage which would explain the force field. Donner shot Superman flying back to the fortress moments before the villains. Donner had planned to inter-cut shots of Superman at the crystal panel too. We were meant to think Superman was afraid of them and he turned on a force field that Lex did not encounter. The villains thought Superman had no tricks left when they "forced" him into the depowering chamber.
So where is the 'more missing footage' ?
srb obviously because at first, Superman didn't lock the doors until the enemy arrived.
The deleted scenes in the Donner cut, showed that the depowering chamber was burned out, and so the audience knew that it was a trick; and so it was only outside of the chamber that they could be made powerless.
It’s not a plot hole. Superman is putting up a fake front of resistance against the villains to entice them to come inside. I.e., if Superman wants to keep them out then clearly he’s hiding in there, afraid to face them or so he wants them to think it’s a deleted scene because Lester needed to minimize the Donner scenes in order to get directorial credit. This is an easy cut since nothing is gained or lost by removing it.
I only saw this because my cousin plays non so this was very out-of-context for me
That guy is your cousin?
Yea, I see why they took that out. Why could Lex get in but Non could not?
Alarm system on & off
I remember seeing this on ABC. The thing is, if they enter without Lex and Lois, how come the next scene they are on the villians' backs again?
I think thats why they cut out the scene. Or maybe Donner intended to shoot another scene bridging the two (which would explain the error), but wasn't able to due to the Salkinds' giving him the boot. We won't know since even the original Donner shooting script is missing the final Metropolis battle and the Fortress Scene.
I have the ABC cut, and it never made sense for that scene to be there. Lol
msmithstud
I think there is a scene missing with Lex and Lois running in behind the villains. Having them on the villains backs was, I believe, a Lester re-shoot. From the Donner script:
The VILLAINS leap, fly like bullets, hit the door simultaneously. The electric field crackles mightily around and through the door, but cannot withstand their combined super-strength. It "shorts" itself out.
INT. FORTRESS - NIGHT The VILLAINS race in, looking wildly for their prey, smelling blood. LUTHOR enters behind them with LOIS. The interior seems to be empty. The molecule chamber stands directly in front of them.
T TRev actually it seems like Donner decided to scrap this deleted scene they shot and go with the villains carrying Lois and lex into the fortress. Shots from the donner cut that show Gene Hackman on Sara Douglas's back as they fly in are proof of this.
Rajith-yeah, Donner had his own version of all 5 of them flying in, & Lester had his.
