Superman 3 Deleted Scenes (Updated) 

Smart as a whip too.

Oh I did, believe me, she was a gorgeous GORGEOUS woman, sort of reminded me of Teresa Ganzel, another blonde bombshell from the 80s

Especially when she was on the statue of liberty, that part in the middle of the dress near the chest area❤️❤️❤️!!!

Annette O’Toole was way more attractive.

Yeah.

R.I.P. Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve will always be superman. i grew up watching those superman movies and still thrills me each time

Christopher Reeve was the best.

And a super man in real life too, I've heard. Everyone who had the opportunity to meet him has said what a nice guy he was, which makes me wish I could have met him.

Rest in peace George Reeves, the original Superman

Annie Ross played the supervillain who was turned into a cyborg at the end of the movie. She was a jazz singer of Scots descent,,, some of her music albums are on you tube. Her brother was Scots producer/actor/comedian Jimmy Logan,,you can see him in one of the British Carry On movies!

Same here.

Would you be willing to upload it to the Internet Archive? I was able to find the tv cut of Superman 2 on there, but no luck on 3 or Quest for Peace.

I recorded it off ABC back in December 1988 & recently had it transferred it into dvd. It’s the only version of ‘S III’ I watch. Only reason I bought the 2006 dvd was to see the ‘Making’ documentary.

Yeah this is the first time hearing about it. Never knew an extended version existed..

Actually, this is the original opening version, but was deleted from the final cut. I'll also admit that this version of the opening sequence makes better sense that the one we see in the theatrical cut.

You’re welcome 😉

Can you describe some of the stuff that didn't make it into the film?

Yes 👍 I Can Describe Some of the Stuff That Didn’t Make That Into The Film 🎞️

How was that experience?

@@ukhorrorscene1987 It used the system we created to prototype games. Design with freedom from producing the VCS code to try something out. Atari was a sub of Warner. I worked on "The Last Starfighter" a video game based movie.

@@sammywestenberger9303 Mainly what made into the movie but done differently. Did he dodge the missiles or destroy them? Dodging made them seem more of a danger. Why worry about something you can simply smash? It was for the effect

They showed all or most of these scenes on TV here in Britain in the 80s and 90s. I remember them.

WB Discovery needs to release the international cuts of both Superman II and III

I remember my dad taping this on ABC back in the late 80s. What I don't get is why they didn't keep Clark knocking on Lana's door, instead of ringing the door bell which he never did.

Superman: Are You Guys Alright 👍

There was a deleted scene, sort of, where after Clark bursts through the compactor to strangle Superman, there's a quick cut when the two men struggle on the ground before Clark finally gets the edge and wins out.

@@Mr.SP78 Oh ok i missed that one,thanks!

Clark: I’m Coming!

One of the first truly awful sequels of a big franchise.

She was hotter than hot, what a total bombshell she was, I always wanted her so bad!

@Mike Shirley And, as Lorelei in this film was smarter than people thought, so was Marilyn Monroe in real life. And Monroe's Lorelei Lee was low key smart too, come to think of it!

Superman: What Do You Want?

Yep. Remember that plainly.

You’re welcome 😉

I don't remember that line being in the movie, And of all the deleted scenes I have, that line is still not in it

@@gamecube8885 It's on my recorded 80s VHS copy that my dad gave me when I was a kid. Trust me, it's there! I grew up knowing that dialogue inside out!

@@gamecube8885 THIS INTRO AND THESES SCENES ARE IN MY CUT!!!!!!!!!! #DONNERCUT

@@SB992REBORN This Is Superman 3, not 2, Wtf you mean #Donnercut, this isn't like the 2nd where 75% of Footage was directed by Lester, and 75% of Footage was directed by Donner, and in the Donner cut they used 75% of Donner footage and 25% of Lester, and Lester Cut they used 75% of Lester Footage and 25% of Donner. But with Superman 3 it was entirely (100%) by Richard Lester...Sadly 😔

Yes it is.

Good with that, it really isn't easy. If you find some about it, Send me a link, I'll really appreciate it

Lana: I Love You ❤️💕😘

You probably described the exact reason why it was cut. A lot of this stuff was a bit off-tone, or too adult, for mainstream release.

They made two intros. This was to be the original version if I remember correctly.

Theatrical version was weird for some reason.

No, the original vhs and dvd releases had the identical opening credits to the theatrical release. The space flying credits shown in this video were put together by the Salkinds for the extended TV cut, basically to increase the running time on TV and make them more money. The campy slapstick opening you refer to still happens in the TV version but without the credits overlayed.

Ken THORNE Isolated Score Main Title

These Deleted Sences were Extremely Difficult to find, and plus I don't remember a sence like that

@@gamecube8885 My Dad taped it off ITV in the 80s and I used to watch it a lot, so I remember those particular lines well.

@@gamecube8885 Ricky’s birthday party

Ricky: Thank You 😊

Yes 👍 I Can

I feel the same way. I was gutted the JAWS CIC-Taft rental videotape didn't have the additional scenes the ABC television version contained - about six minutes' worth. Having never seen the film before its television premiere, in 1983 (Australia), I didn't know the film screened was extended - but I did notice the unedited language and gore from the CIC-Taft rental tape, when I borrowed it a year later, so that was some (small) consolation.

Nah

If they were going for the full comedy route, they should have had Frank do his Miss Piggy voice.

Miss Piggy 🐷: What Do You Want?

Sadly he stuck to a very unfunny script. The writers thought he would adlib and make it work but he didn't for some reason.

Gus: Hey 👋

I’ve had the extended ABC cut since I recorded it back in 1988. It’s the only version of this movie I watch.

@@MMAfighter38113 Can you believe it's been 40 years since it's theatrical release ? I also have the expanded tv cut of ''PARTS 1, 2 and 4'' as well as the expanded tv cut of ''BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE''

@@georgeharris9873 I have the extended ABC cuts of the first two as well but not ‘S IV.’ I’m disappointed WB has still not given us a full extended cut of ‘S III.’ Only reason I bought the 2006 dvd was for the ‘Making of’ documentary.

@@MMAfighter38113 Speaking of ''BEYOND THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE''', the theatrical cut is on Blu-ray for the first time ever in a box set called ''IRWIN ALLEN- THE MASTER OF DISASTER COLLECTION'' that also has 5 TV movies and the theatrical movie ''WHEN TIME RAN OUT.'' This box set will available September 12th.

@@georgeharris9873 appreciate it

YOU GUY, I AM WORKING ON A DONNERIZED CUT OF (SINCE IT IS CANON) SUPERMAN III 😉

The extended cuts of Superman III and IV seem to be the versions that played on TV most often throughout the 80s and 90s. Superman I and II's extended cuts were comparatively more rare and only aired a handfull of times.

I disagree. After reading original Siegel era (until mid 1943, but Really it is until 1941 when Superman as well as Batman and Robin and other characters started to get censored on the "questionable" parts like killing bad guys or torturing them or not bothering with saving them), then 1943 till 1948 which is Siegel + Cameron + Finger mix, then Bill Finger era, then full blown Silver Age era with absolute peak ,at that point, of everything, then Bronze Age since 1969 which is also First Ever time Superman nerfed in his powers but also became self conscious and doubting if he ever should have an absolute power (and not because he can't bang Lois like in II, but more of a moral imperative and burden thing, which was in Puzo script) I don't think any Reeve movie truly feels like Superman comics. There are some moments, but mostly moments. And what many folks don't realize Superman The Movie was actually deconstruction of the comics of its era, so I really don't count any movie after 1978 because comics themselves became influenced by The Movie (compare death of Eben in George Reeves show vs death of Jonathan in Chris Reeve movie, then compare Superman #146 death of Jonathan with Action Comics #500 death of Jonathan, like truly compare, don't let your nostalgia omit certain details and context) ever since, which is how in modern comics S comes from Krypton.

@@FirstnameLastname-my7bz I just always felt like the earlier comics were more comical and fun. Part 1 and 2 have a more serious tone throughout.

Superman: That’s Enough!

@Lecio Resmini That's what a lot of people are saying since "Superman 3" isn't picking up after the events of "Superman 2" since "Superman 2" picked up after the first film. Maybe instead of calling the third and fourth films as "Superman 3" and "Superman 4", "Superman 3" could have been called "Superman Visits His Hometown" and "Superman 4" could have been called "Superman Fights Wars."

This movie was just awful. Gus Gorman wasn’t believable as an “accidental computer genius,” Christopher Reeve didn’t have the warmth and heart that he did it Superman and Superman II; as a matter of fact, he played it like he was disgusted with the whole thing. Lois’s cameo wasn’t worth the time she spent onscreen, Robert Vaughn was smarmy, not evil or menacing, like Lex Luthor, and Brad was totally unnecessary. This was just a hot mess. Firing Richard Donner was the biggest mistake ever.

@@lugenehaynes7584 Disagree on Chris. He was fantastic in this movie.. He was in his physical prime, looked amazing in the suit. Chris was extremely comfortable with the role and played the evil Superman to perfection. I also love how he toned down the goofy Clark because Lana was interested in Clark NOT Superman... Pryor was NOT miscast he just needed to play the bad guy.. He needed to be the one pulling the strings trying to rule the world destroy Superman etc.. Lester wanted him to just be funny.. It did NOT work..

Gus: I Hate You!

About 2 hour 19 - 20 minutes

@@gamecube8885 I wonder if this will ever see the light of day. iTunes and Amazon have it 125 mins while Google play store has it as 127 mins.

It's about 15 minutes of cut material so around 2hrs and 20 minutes.

I'm pretty sure it was Ken Thorne.

At the time that I posted this Video, this was all the Footage that I could find. But I Recently made an "Announcement" Video that I Finally have VHS Copies of the Extended Cut (Recorded off TV) of Superman 1, 2 & 3. When I finally get the Best Capture card that I can get, I'll Record The ENTIRELY of the Tapes, and Maybe make a Re-Updated version of this Video. But I haven't had the time to watch the full thing myself yet. So I can't proof if those "Additional Lines" are in it Yet. But soon I'll probably watch it.

@@gamecube8885 i used to have all 3 on vhs taped off of tv. But no longer have it

@@goobman1981 Have you Ever used Internet Archive Before?

@@gamecube8885 i know i did find a superman movie archives website. It talked about the additional lines Pryor said. No video though

@@goobman1981 well that's not the reason why I asked you that but interesting. The Actually Reason being that (when I get the capture I was talking about) I will record the ENTIRELY of The 3 Tapes (with commercial and everything) and put it on Internet Archive...Soon, Hopefully. I will make an another when I finish with that whole process, but My point being is, that You are in Luck, my Friend.

Had Tom Mankiewicz been involved with ‘S III,’ most of the campy slapstick would have been eliminated. He did several rewrites for ‘STM’ & ‘SII’ when Donner was involved with the first two films. There was a lot of campy dialogue originally written that he got rid of. When Donner was fired, he left as well.

I actually don't think he is a bad director, he was just NOT suited for this material. A hard days night, three and four muskateers are considered good films. Lester had a very comedic touch to his directing, and he was NOT a Superman or comic book fan. He finished Superman 2 and did 3 for the money.. The Salkinds had worked with him before and just wanted someone to take over for Donner that would NOT argue with them all the time, and would shoot quickly.. Do it cheaper basically.. But Donner should have stayed on.. He was better suited for Superman..

@@MMAfighter38113 Mank wrote Superman 1.. Basically all of the Puzo script and the Newman revisions were trashed.. The writers guild refused Mank full writing credit but Donner said often that Mank wrote the movie..

@@dbreiden83080 he definitely had a good grasp on the character. Chris wanted him involved with ‘S IV,’ but he told Chris that Superman should stay out of world politics.

@@dbreiden83080 Lester's directing would fit in quite well today with the campy garbage the MCU has started spitting out in their films and with how fast DC is trying to catch up to their descent into mediocrity.

I didn't, i asure that theses are ALL the Deleted Scenes. Well, I only showed all the Parts of the film that was Cut out, not the entire Deleted Scenes because that would have gotten me Copyright Striked by Warner Brothers.
