Superman II different version

Now this is a bit old hat but many people still have no idea of this.

Richard Donner, the original director of Superman 1 actually shot Superman 2 at the same time.  He actually shot enough footage for an entire film but due to differences with the studio Donner was told to fuck off and another director, Richard Lester, was brought in.  He had to scrap half of the completed footage in order to be credited as the movie's director hence that is the version that we've all seen, not Donner's original.

Anywho, not too long ago people on the webs started to vouch for Donner's footage and with enough pressure the studio allowed Donner to get his footage back and piece his movie together at last with a DVD release back in 2006.

Obviously, there's plenty of odd special effects, continuity errors, and other problems with the film as the editors had to make do with whatever footage they had 25 years later.

Anywho, it's more of an interesting look at what Donner's original plan for Superman II was rather than a seperate film.  But, if you were to put the 2 films side by side you would notice some massive differences.  So, enough with the shitty talk and roll on with the documentary on the cut:
