Sadly, the plot was Reeves' idea. He was massively disappointed in the finished (well, half-finished) film, but letting him do an anti-nuke-weapon story was how Cannon convinced him to sign on.
@@ScreamingScallop That, and he had to do Superman IV in order for Cannon to green light his pet project Street Smart with Morgan Freeman playing a pimp. Good movie by the way.
You think it's that bad? Very funny. I don't think it's that terrible except for the silly nuclear man. The robot woman from Superman 3 would have been better.
Nyran Stanton Superman 3 didn’t have the greatest script but I loved Chris’ take on bad Superman as well as his usual impeccable Clark Kent n good supes.
Superpiair1 Erm. I’m sure he did some bad shit as well as pull the face. He wasn’t evil just NOT good lol. Yea I like his take on angry bad superman - the acting wasn’t terrible
@WiiManElite I guess cos Bizarro is just Superman’s opposite rather than outrightly bad - and tbh I prefer bad superman haha. The supercomputer would’ve been better as Braniac as it had no personality whatsoever (well apart from its need to survive).
For all its shortcomings, we must acknowledge that "Superman IV: The Quest For Peace" exposed failures in DC's logic concerning the Kent foster parentage of Superman. How did the Kent's manage to cut Clark's hair all those years? I mean, they would have needed kryptonite scissors or something. All I can think of is Ma Kent going to cut her adopted son's hair only to see him lapse into epileptic fits in the process.
Chris, Im an astrophysicist and throwing all of Earths nuclear weapons into the Sun wouldn't do anything.... Actually Im just a shit head who makes RU-vid videos. Thanks for letting me join in on the Hilariocity review!
When this came out, people who never read comics were like "wow it takes bolt cutters to cut his hair?", when really, it has nothing to do with strength. The matter from our yellow sun cant penetrate that of the red sun. So they may have thought it was a cool scene, but they actually made him less powerful.
@@LuizBarrosPoa, more important while discussing cutting the strand of hair with bolt cutters, how the fuck did his parents cut his hair, and how does superman shave?

+Magnus Nygaard i was about to say that, he really don't know about science, every nuclear weapon on earth exploding wouldn't make a dent to the Sun, even throwing the entire earth into it wouldn't do shit.
I agree with you. That's why I was telling Chris, he should do an updated review and, see if his opinion is still the same? Or if he sees more humor in it now? Nuclear man? They could have come up with something better than that.
they would burn up before even arriving at the surface, hell you could drop the moon into the sun and only earth would notice.... (the lack of tides for example....)
Richard Donner was asked to come back, but he said no because he was busy directing Lethal Weapon and thought that the franchise's reputation was damaged beyond repair.
WhyteLis21 1) Why the hell are you pointing to a RU-vid video as something with any credibility.... at all. And 2) Showing WHAT works? What the hell are you taking about "working"?
Timothy Jahn instead of bitching about youtube as credibility, do your own research beside youtube if you don't believe it. I know I did. Like I said cost would hindered it. Just getting into it out of earth's atmosphere is hard enough. not to mention should something do go wrong during the launch it can cause radiation leaks if the launch do explode. Even getting independent companies that's not fund by the government would still cost millions of dollars to do it.
wh3nderson95 certainly, but if you look back at the other superman movies, is the best of the 6... a 5/10 movie is the best out of the 6... lord have mercy
+BestintheWorld247 People who say that may legitimately not know that S4 even exists. I rank the movies like this Superman II Superman Superman II (Donner Cut) Man of Steel Superman Returns Superman III Superman IV
@@thezerowulf507 a "refuge"? Also, it wouldn't matter, the orange turd kicks out EVERYONE. Hell he looks children in concentration camps after separating them from their parents.
I have to hand it to the critics of this film they have some awesome collection of films and anime behind them and a Nintendo 64. You know something though, even with all the hate for Superman 3 and 4 given I love all 4 movies as a Kid I can't hate the last 2 films mostly because I am a Christopher Reeves fan. It is like the Super Mario Bros movie which we all know it is bad, but we enjoy watching it as a guilty pleasure. I would still watch all 4 Superman movies because I am a fan of Christopher Reeves. Honestly I feel kind of sad that Superman 3 and 4 did not get the treatment it deserved like Superman 1 and 2 which were awesome, but still don't see any better Superman then Christopher Reeves. The same with Michael Keaton from 1989 Batman which was the most realistic and real Batman in my eyes.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="640">10:40</a> - Keep in mind that Earth's entire nuclear weapons stockpile wouldn't impact our sun at all since hurtling them towards it would cause them to melt/vaporize hundreds of miles (probably thousands of miles) away from the sun and in any case, the sun is essentially a massive fusion reactor (much, much bigger than the Earth which is easily dwarfed by our sun) which would not be affected or snuffed out by atomic explosions. :)
Every nuclear weapon ever made launched into the sun would not even phase it. They would not even make the surface, since they would be vaporized long before reaching the surface. He could have just launched the missiles out of the ecliptic plane of the solar system where they would be travelling, forever, through space. Maybe some distant star or planet draws them in for contact or vaporization. Like Carl Sagan once said, "all you need is one impoverished graduate student" for scientific reality.
Hey Chris, if you're wondering about the effect of throwing all the nukes into the sun, because of the size of the sun and it's temperature, the nukes would juts fissle apart and nothing would happen
II iii Don't know about that. Given what we know now on how crazy nature can be, All nukes at once could cause a disruption starting from top to inside, something not noticeable right away, What if it changed the location of sun spots or laid ground work for solar storms to build and pull reserves from the excess energy, What if the sun got disrupted and later on shot a SUPER massive SOLAR flare at us later on years even.. It's not about the size or the fact that they would fizzle away , It's about disruption, Like dropping a stone in the ocean that causes ripples down the line. Therefore because of the ripple effect. I'd say lets not.
You guys vastly underestimate the size and power of the sun. The sun actually IS one gigantic perpetual nuclear explosion. Even if all of the weapons detonated at once, literally nothing would happen. We would not even be able to see any change in light from the sun even with the best telescopes. Even if every single nuke on earth went off at the same time and place, the planet itself would not be damaged. Just a short mini ice age, nasty fallout for a few hundred years, and a big crater. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs delivered tens of thousands times more explosive power than every single nuke on earth, and yet it is only the size of a mountain. The sun is simply so incalculably large and powerful that even the entire planet crashing into the Sun would have almost no effect on the sun's activity, integrity or longevity.
@@jsbaldo5556 nah it would be like a mosquito biting an elephant. They would just dissolve, the sun is so massive. These are like firecrackers in a massive bon fire or a fraction of that.
@@dannydemonic4799 that’s why I said if it was every nuke at once and one Nuke is equal to the heat of the sun, if this hits the inner layer which is a lot cooler , a chain reaction can occur and this is more likely if EVERY NUKE was launched, also each nuke can be different in blast radiance and size of blast, given that radiation is also present slightly different when manufactured in different ways and with more components than the sun which yea also has radiation not including other elements present in each Nuke, you HAVE TO CONSIDER that nature is delicate and any disruption is bad to natural processes, and since each can have an equal or OPPOSITE reaction the risk of throwing things off is greater than you would think, we also have to think about solar flares and build up, the energy doesn’t just dissipate, it spreads and is also released outward and a solar flare containing new elements the sun is not used to admin pressure , composition, etc, is far far more than a mosquito bite, IF and only if a solar flare was released right away due to the reaction it could cause extra momentum to reach earth with more devastation than If it was 1 inch radius less , we’ve barely missed them before on this line, so consider we can’t know for sure, the amount of Nukes and most importantly.. nature is Very very delicate if the balance is thrown off by even a hair! Let’s also consider if we launched each Nuke at the same time at different areas of the sun which would cause the radio us to meet at each shockwave point and cause sn extra kick which would still happen when each Nuke is even a mile apart
@@jsbaldo5556 I appreciate you making an argument but all the nukes in the world hitting the sun at once wouldn’t matter. It’s like dropping a firecracker in Texas. I’m not just guessing. You’re not correct.
Rectus Rectumius people pronounces it differently. I pronounce it that way. It depends on how you were raised to say it. Like the word “either” and “gif”
@@corbinthepieguy0249 Well congratulations you're wrong, because while some words have some wiggle room, that wiggle room does not extend to adding entirely non-existent letters to the pronunciation for the hell of it Nuclear Nuc - Nuke le - lee er - er there is no extra U, have a nice day.
Martin Sevcech just because there isn’t an extra u doesn’t mean people can pronounce it that way. Almost everyone in the south says it like that. People pronounce things weird all the time. Some people say gif like it starts with a j and some don’t. Yes grammatically nuclear with two u’s is wrong of course but that’s not going to stop hundreds of people saying it that way. There are plenty of words that people pronounce it with extra letters and stuff. Like I said it’s grammatically incorrect, but I’m not wrong on the fact that people are going to say it that way
That's somewhat true. The sun would take a pretty decent hit from the explosion but that's assuming the weapons even get to the sun. They would explode much sooner and that would spell a ton of danger for Earth. So still not a good idea.
there's an interesting documentary on Netflix called "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films" which includes some of the behind the scenes of what went wrong during the making of superman IV
Actually Chris, Throwing all of earth's nuclear weapons into the sun won't even tickle it. The amound of energy produced daily by the sun vastly exceeds anything we can throw at it.
I recently watched Superman II with Zod and that one was pretty hilarious too. Zod and his friends just roam around the planet languidly looking at things .. they ask a news reporter what a camera is and after learning about it they say ok whatever.. do your thing 😂🤣
OK... I'm <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1132">18:52</a> into this now and I'm laughing so hard, I was crying. I had to pause it. Damn I wish I'd gone through your back catalogue a long time ago, this is GOLD 👍
I know, makes you wonder how he cuts his hair or shaves if his hair is so powerful. Though I guess thats why they later create the Maguffin of him using his heat vision off mirrors or some shit but really that just raises more questions.
I just watched a video saying the movie studio cut Superman 4's budget in half and used it on Masters of the Universe. If the Salkins would've just left Donner alone we wouldn't have been cursed with Superman lll or lV
All of the nuclear weapons, along with the planet Earth itself and all of the other planets in the solar system could be flung into the Sun and...absolutely nothing would happen. At all. It'd be like a ping-pong ball bouncing off The Rock's chest.
This Hilariocity is truly one of my faves - along with The Wickerman, The Happening, Steel, The Fanatic, Batman & Robin (which i dont think I can watch that much now because of Joel Schumacher's passing), Night Killer, Sleepwalkers and The oscar of the Best Hilariocity for me is Samourai Cop
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="450">7:30</a> - Did anyone notice that the display case floor collapsed before the weight dropped (Probably from the glass that hit it)? How did no one in editing catch that? Or were they just hoping no one would notice?
The sun is literally billions of time more massive and powerful than every nuclear warhead ever. Launching them into the sun would be the soundest option of disposal, actually.
+Enthios Exactly. It's quite literally an unbridled nuclear fusion reactor. throwing a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of fissile and fussile material into the sun won't do a darned thing.
They actually explain in the first or second movie (been a long time since seeing either) when Superman first takes Lois on a flight, that he also has power over his body's energy and can make it encompass another person, which is why she can "fly". Now once he lets go of her ... well, don't know about that.
When Superman looks at his ship and it disappears he is using the same power to deconstruct his ship. It is to show that he has decided to stay on this planet because it is the only home he (and we) have.
