It's so incredible that, even with horribly developed and preposterously orchestrated scenes to play-out, Reeve still infuses Superman with nobility and humanity.
Because he is The Last Son Of Krypton.
The Man Of Steel. Superman. A Friend.
Damn! It’s like watching another movie! Thank you so much for this!
Cannon did at one time plan to use the cut footage to make a Superman V. Suffice it to say, they were delusional.
Ironically, if these scenes had been left in back then it would have made the film even worse, yet putting them back in today would make it even better.
😂 exactly!
The sight of Christopher Reeves as Superman smiling at the camera and flying away is timeless.
So right
Reeve. But you're right
I love how one of Lex’s female companions is wearing her radiation suite with the glove off, for her to do her nails.
I wish they could re-insert these scenes back into the film. effects...with finished So much good stuff there. Thanks for uploading.
Hell no. The one with the second Superman doppleganger looked terrible.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 True, but it also made sense. Supposedly, the first superman doppleganger was either based on Bizarro, or was supposed to be him.
It did make sense, though, if you look at it from a different perspective. Lex made a "Bizarro" made with Superman's own physical attributes. The first time you make something, it usually comes out fk'd up.
It seems like they wanted to show a progression from test 1 (Bizarro) to test 2 (Nuclear Man), and fixing what went wrong with the first attempt. The first one was trash, but the second one was refined, and tore Supe's ass asunder (for a bit).
I'm tempted to take these deleted scenes and infuse them back into Superman IV.
There's a logo on this one, but if I could find them elsewhere without it, I could clean up the black marks scrolling across the screen, bounce up the audio [quite] a bit, Remaster all of the deleted scenes to match the quality of the theatrically released film, and a little color grading.
Problem is, I don't know where I could legally post the video, or what restrictions YT has.
But BOY would I tackle this!
@@Entolyfik Look up a guy named Aron Price on here. He’s remastered a number of scenes from Superman four and updated the special effects. His work is nothing short of fantastic. See if you can find him. He’s on here. He has his own channel..
@@DiverBand Aron (one R?) Price...ok, I'll look him up...I would like to see this remastering of what he has, and I can go from there, wow...that comes in handy!! Thank you @DiverBand!
That kid needs a Quest for acting lessons 😂
Great work with the sound and putting the original score back in. 👏
LOL at superman taking the boy into space. "Mr. Superman -- I can't breathe so good up here"
Nuclear man does the same with Lacy. It's so stupid.
They are protected by the Aura of Superman and Nuclear Man.
I don’t feel so good, Mr Clark!
You know what's crazy? There was an episode of Power Rangers in Space, where Carlos took a little girl into outer space, and she didn't have a space suit on.
@@omarcogle1965I remember
I’m in awe of how much footage was cut and scenes that never saw the light of day,thank you for this ❤
They should have cut another 90' at least
THANK YOU so much for this TREMENDOUS work. This is nowadays the DEFINITIVE version of the deleted scenes of Superman IV, it has made me appreciate and understand the movie a lot more. Now that I see the full picture, I think it could have been a good film and a nice ending to the Reeve saga. Nice job!
Agreed

@spkanava 87!!! Maybe some of it filmed in 86, but released 87!!!
Finally the actual score put in these deleted scenes.
....and it's a terrible goofy score! lol
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 not going to lie it is a goofy score that fits this type of movie. At least it’s not remix of the first movie’s score like the second movie.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Not really. It's in the tradition of the original movie's score.
@@jedijones Not at all. In the original the only goofy score was when we would see Otis.
If Canon would of put money into this film with a Big Budget This could of been a great Superman movie.
Lay off the Crack.
1977
More like if Cannon hadn't funneled money from this film into Masters of the Universe instead it might've had a chance.
@@alucard624 Very true and Masters had the Director put in his own money to even finish the movie
Agreed
Maybe this film deserves a Director's Cut.
I remember seeing that strand of hair clip in at least one tv airing of this film and Superman returning Lex to the quarry while the others whistle.
I remember those particular scenes being in it also, same as you remember. As well as the scene where Superman takes Lenny to Boys Town, that was in it as well. As far as I recall, that was all part of the movie's plot and I believe the wiki page for the movie even lists those scenes in the plot description for the movie. The only cut content that I was ever aware of was the "Bizarro" scenes, a club scene where Clark Kent and Lacy went dancing, and a scene of Clark visiting his foster parents' graves. The rest is definitely news to me.
86
Hopefully, Warner Bros. will release (at minimum) the Metro Club sequence as well!
25:13 In *Superman IV (1987) "See you in twenty." quote* needs to be fully restored because *he meant was "see you after 20 yrs." so 20 yrs. later Superman Returns (2006) was released to the world.*
4:56
The Birth of Bizarro!
Damn, Lacy and Jeremy in space while the Russian astronaut can still yell bye is pure Gold writing!
In the Superman Mythos, it is his Aura that protects them from harm. 😉
1977
@@spkanava why do you keep saying 1977?? What does that have to do with anything? Do you think that's when the movie came out? Because it's not. It came out in 1987, not 77
@@theduel007 that's absolutely stupid, I'm pretty sure they got rid of that aura bs too
@@DerekEvans1013 It's all make believe...
If only they'd release the Metro Club scenes with Clark and Lacy...
Warner has been saying for years that the footage is lost, but they also said all of Donner's footage for Superman II was lost before they made the Donner Cut ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@outatime2254
From what I heard it has to do with copyright issues with the songs that play in the scenes but they should just release it without the songs if that's the case...
@@TheDudeOfSteel87 they do have that awful Nuclear Man temp track that they used in the other deleted scenes' release, I'm sure they can use it again! 😂
@@outatime2254 Thanks for this. 🤗😎🦸♂👍
@@outatime2254 everyone boogying down in the club to that goofy vaudeville music.
An interesting side of Clark/Superman We've never seen him waking up from a dream in his pj's Well that's good to know that even superman needs rest
Golan/Globas insisted that the movie be cut to 90 minutes. Their logic: Disney movies were 90 minutes so movies for kids had to be 90 minutes. They also kept cutting the production budget due to financial problems.
More like they kept funneling the money that was supposed to go to this film and instead put it towards Masters of the Universe.
Superman to Lex "See you in 20" and exactly 20 years as he predicted we got Superman Returns
Actually it was 19, but close enough.
@@masere Yeah you're right Superman 4 was in 87 wasn't it ?
1977
@@spkanava You mean 87
Oh wow!!!😮😮
thank you for uploading this , if they woulda added some of these the story would have made some sense
40 years later I finally see the whole movie
It's kind of funny when Superman tells Lex after dropping him off at the prison, "See you in 20 years Luthor." Superman returns, the next film starring Brandon Routh in the role came out about 19 years later.
Disc 1 - 4K Cannon Cut Blu-ray
Disc 2 - 4K Warner Cut Blu-ray
Jon Cryer,...from Lennie to Lex Luther. LOL😂
It's almost as if "Lex" is a title rather than a name.
86
This looks even worse than the actual end result. I never quite got how even these scriptwriters thought that the audience would not scratch their heads at Superman taking Lacey and the kid in these clips into space for a tour of Earth from space when of course there would be no air for them to breath.
Just a new superpower, like his Repair Vision when he repaired the Great Wall of China, extending his invulnerability to those he held onto.
Any scene with "Bizarro" is terrible. It's good that it got cut out. But there are some other scenes that could have been in the theatrical cut. The director cut too much out.
I thought these scenes were lost forever. I'm not sure if they would have made the final film any better, but at least it would have felt more complete. I love the remark that Lex made about the new tabloid format of the Planet. It definitely should have been in the final cut of the film. When the most evil man on earth thinks your new version of the newspaper sucks, you should know you did something wrong!
The best thing to do with this film is pretend it never happened.
This was very well done, wow! I made an edit years ago called Quest For Coherence, attempting to reconstruct the full 134-minute cut. I had limited ability to remove the temp music and goofy sound effects. I have a version 2 in the works. Would you be willing to share your edit of the deleted scenes audio track, prior to adding music and sound effects?
I remember seeing that years ago on TH-cam. It inspired me to make my own extended cut of Superman IV
@@gabe9552 Nice!
86
Lex Luthor has created… Ozzy Osborn!!
I first thought the first nuclear man looked like Ozzy Osborne and Brendon Fraser.
This actually makes more sense. Can't believe that bizarro was cut. 😮
It's high time WB finish this movie into a extended edition and give Jeremy as space suit and this closure for Lacy(including the Metro Club scene)
At 21:44, the newscaster sounds like that canned male voiceover that's on millions of TH-cam videos now.
That last with Jeremy in space talking where oxygen is non existent would have killed the message instantly with people Ithaca realistic minds
Clive Mantle kept this quiet 🤫
These scenes were cut by the director. Also, the 3-hour TV cut of Superman: The Movie WAS NOT Richard Donner's originally intended vision. It was the Salkinds. The 2001 Special Edition however is Donner's full intended cut.
They were only cut out due to a disastrous test screening. The editing made the film pretty much incoherent in parts unfortunately.
@@alucard624 Donner himself said the 3-hour cut was terrible.
Even the 2001 Special Edition, with all the replaced sound effects, was not what Donner wanted. In an interview, he was surprised to hear from the interviewer that sound effects were replaced and mistakes made in the soundtrack. I question whether he really reviewed the 2001 Special Edition cut at all.
@@GingerAmberLynn Donner was part of the special edition re-release.
@@alucard624 the scenes were really bad
IRONIC YEARS LATER JON CRYER WOULD PLAY LEX LUTHOR
The entire metro club sequence is still missing.
love a little superman now and then...
I guess the part where Clark is dying was considered too disturbing to show, might have been a good idea though, to show people what radiation poisoning is like.
I also know that the Kent's graves scene was cut during editing.
That probably is lost forever.
That is unfortunate, but at least there are the still images of the Kents' grave scene.@@TomasMattvids
@@superfandave4601 yep.

Great, SUPER Job!
Two Luthors working together: Gene Hackman and Jon Cryer
I would love to see the first cut of this movie that the test audience saw, albeit with major CGI upgrades.
What a great film this could have been
naaa
I'm in full support to have a fully restored director's cut of Superman IV. Heck, at this point, it could only improve it.
If you can post the extended flying sequence (with the Fresh Air music track) with Superman and Lois that would be great also! I have seen the tornado and Russian missile completed scenes, which have been released internationally and in U.S.A. television versions.
really enjoyed it, thanks for 30 minutes in the good old world!!
That first Nuclear Man should have been taken out. Good lord that is horrible. I’ve watched better quality cartoons. How do you go from general zod to that? Brutal.
Gene Hackman settling into the President's chair in Superman II...
25:23 Who'd have thunk it ... Milton Keynes!
The Tom and Jerry style music really help the suspense
Superman tells kid ‘Drop Dead!’
I remember reading the novelization of this then seeing the movie about a week later . I was wondering where half the stuff I read went as I had no idea about editing . I was even more confused when I picked up the magazine of the movie and saw photos of the scenes. It was then that I realized there was a reason the movie I saw seemed a little choppy.
Sorry! Superman could NEVER hit a baseball out into space using a bat! The amount of force necessary to do that would shatter the bat and ball on contact. It would be like a miniature explosion.
Superman's vow to never interfere with the destiny of Earth doesn't make any sense because every time he saves someone or prevents a disaster, he is interfering with the destiny of the planet and the destiny of the people he saves. Plus in the first movie, he TURNED BACK TIME to interfere with Lois' destiny to prevent her from dying.
It’s more about not interfering in geopolitics.
That turn back the clock sequence was intended for the end of the second film, but Donner basically cut ties with the producers and he shoehorned that sequence into the first movie, already knowing he would never complete the second himself. Much of Donner's already shot footage for Superman II was used in the Richard Lester-directed sequel.
It would have been better to if he had said, "If I interfere how the governments of the world run things, I would have to become the dictator of the world."

At around 5:36 P.K.'s underwear inspiration.
All I remember about S IV was that it was a terrible movie. Whatever they were shooting for, it was a complete miss. Still, Chris Reeves was the best Superman.
This made the 4th movie look better then the madam web movie or the last jurassic world movie
With that first Nuclear Man nobody spoke up & said "hey what the hell are we doing here?"
This movie hurt me seeing SUPERMAN 4 in theaters when I was a teenager now seeing more of what could have been angers me, so many want to see this movie back in a better cut I think if we keep letting the money men who hold sway over this unfinished film know how we feel about this movies future plus the exceptional people who are working for free to get visuals upgraded and a better cut will come together and all work on and salvage CHRISTIFER REEVES dream of the man of steels fourth adventure.
What do you mean what could have been? Those deleted scenes sucked. There was no way it could have been good. Canon was a cheap company.
I laughed so hard when Superman dropped Lacy.
Man.. I can understand why a lot of that was left out of the movie. 🤣
Ironically cutting out the scenes when US/USSR almost engaging in a nuclear exchange is the best scene that exemplifies what Reeve was going for when he conceived the story
Superman dying is so brutal! A completely destroyed Superhero 😢
So...Superman made it to the classroom the same day Jeremy gets the idea for writing a letter?!
It happens the following day not the same day.
@@RoaryUK They must've spent the night at the school because everybody's wearing the SAME CLOTHES.
Gene Hackman was unwiling to shave his head to play the role of Lex Luthor.........but agreed to be in Superman IV.....wtf...
Good grief this version of nuclear man sucks even worse than the one we got 🤣🤣🤣
Thats clive mantle as the nuclear man prototype, he was also in alien 3
And Casualty, a long-running BBC hospital drama.
Best role ever as Little John in Robin of Sherwood
Please WB... we need to have the 3 hour/ Restoration Cut.
Wow i didnt think they could have made this movie even worse than it was but i was wrong, so very very wrong
Oh how sad.🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️ There was just no hope for this movie. Poor Christopher Reeve. After the first two movies were so good, parts 3 & 4 were just abysmal. Such a shame.
I think 3 is entertaining in a "so bad it's good" way.....but 4 is just awful.
He took a vow my ass when Lois died his vow went out the window
Such a goofy film, even without these scenes. I dont think theres any helping it.
Good to see the deleted scenes again though
It's better without these scenes. There are a couple of nice parts that could have been kept in, but the majority of this was pure cheese that was luckily left out of the theatrical version.
You left a few deleted scenes out. The tornado scene, russian missile about to take off scene and the nightclub scene are missing. The tornado and russian missile scenes are on the extras section in the Superman IV DVD. I've never seen the nightclub scene, but I know it exists. I have the Superman IV comic where it includes the deleted scenes. The audio commentary track on the Superman IV DVD gives a good explanation of the things that went wrong with this movie, mainly the budget cuts, which is why it is not as good as the others.
Interesting to watch. Thanks for all your hard work. But taking humans into space without a spacesuit. What were the writers smoking?
nuclear man is so handsome and great!! Super Villian ever!
Well, Lacy DID like Clark and not Superman, so that's points for her, no?
Also, I'm glad the actual score was added to the Nuclear Man 1 scenes, that goof music they used to have was awful.
This was a very massage about you have to save your world from nuclear weapons from the wars
Everyone was professional.
so much makes more sense now. though i can understand why they cut it back in the 80s, it helps the plot significantly no matter how poor the quality was.
breathing in space lol!
18:12 - Nuclear Man reacts to Lacy's slap before it even happens.
I didn't notice, but it would probably have been reshot if there had been any intention of actually including that scene in the final product.
When I read about the first Nuclear Man, it sounded okay and so I wondered why they cut it. After watching this I can see why. Why on earth did they make him a simpleton? That whole sequence is terrible- but then again the whole film is pretty diabolical. I enjoy watching it just for how bad it is and how lousy the effects are. I hope Gene Hackman got a good cheque.
I don’t know, why did they make Bizarro a simpleton in the comics? The movie may not be great, but it’s not exactly far off from the kind of story they were doing in the Bronze Age, leaps in logic included.
@@axebomber2108 To be fair: if Bizarro starts out perfectly smart, but then he sees and feels as he starts to degenerate mentally, that would've been an awesome sci-fi-horror-element in an intelligent movie.
86
Extra footage makes it even worse than theatrical ahahahaha
The movie was a disaster regardless but if baffles me why hey cut some of these scenes (nightmare sequence, Clark dying for instance). It’s a shame they made the first nuclear man sequence such a joke. I’m glad it got cut even thought I liked some of the fight sequence
If you have Benny Hill theme in some of these scene, they're not that bad. 😅
I THINK I forced myself to watch it once, but it was a chore! The first movie was AMAZING, the second was okay (the original Donner cut and vision for the movie was MUCH better), the third was terrible (it was more Richard Pryor than Superman), and the fourth was a complete joke. It's too bad Richard Donner didn't come back to it when he was asked. He would've made a hit out of it, but the Salkinds put such a bad taste in his mouth for what they did to him. He was bitter and refused. It's a shame.
You have every right to be wrong.
@@ghenulo YOU LIKED IT????????? IT WAS GARBAGE! YOU have the right to be wrong, TOO.....and RIDICULOUS!!!!!!
The teacher let her English accent slip when superman walks to Jeremy.
The deleted scenes would have made the movie much better
Well done… This movie has a much better heart than the third Chris Reeves film but, poor old Chris got screwed by budget with the film company at the time. The story and the heart was there… imagine it if they hadn’t halved the budget…
Third movie was pretty good
@@johnnyskinwalker4095Superman 3 was my favorite one it’s good to me like Howard the Duck is one of my favorite movies
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 I think the 3rd one lost the seriousness of number 1 and 2 that Richard Donnor had invested. I would have loved to see what would have happened if Richard did number 3 too.
@@wobind72 Bear in mind when Richard Lester came in for Superman 2, he made it already more goofy. There were good things about Superman 3 like Superman vs Superman and that big computer. I choose to believe that the robot woman was sort of a Metallo version. Ideally Donner would have done them all.
6:19 The least he could is make him an espresso...
Some wonderful silver-age stuff here.
Even though Jeremy in space is absolutely bunkers, the message was beautiful. No borders. We're all the same beings on one planet.
That's Called Globalism
You can see that aspect of earth without going into space. It could be edited so the background plate is switched to the sky instead of space
WB Need to do a cut with these scenes. Turn an embarasement into a classic again
