OVERALL: R1
The US 14 disc release for the most extras, though note the exclusive 14th disc includes extras solely for "Superman Returns".
General notes about the film:
Richard Donner was shooting Superman: The Movie and Superman II simultaneously in 1977. A decision was made to put off all remaining filming for Superman II until all the footage for the first film was complete.
However, upon completion of the first Superman movie, Richard Donner was fired by the film’s producers. Director Richard Lester took over as director. Lester not only filmed scenes that Donner was unable to complete (the Metropolis battle for instance), but he also re-shot many scenes that Donner had already filmed. This was mostly done on the producer’s part to prevent Donner from getting a Director credit on the film. Many key elements and scenes were changed and re-written needlessly. Perhaps the most famous of all changes, was the removal of all key scenes involving Marlon Brando. Brando would not allow his footage to be shown in Superman II due to legal issues which have since been settled. The entire opening for Superman II was also re-done.
Gene Hackman also did not return after learning of Donner’s firing. Despite the fact that his scenes were complete for Superman II, he was asked back for needless re-shoots. Hackman refused, and instead they used a body double and hired a Hackman impersonator for voice over work.
It has been determined that approximately 70% of Superman II was shot by Richard Donner. However, only 30% of Donner’s footage appeared in the theatrical version of the film because of the various changes and re-shoots.
