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:

Alternate Endings

Here we have a wee compilation of alternate endings of some famous movies.  Some of which would have drastically changed the outcome of following sequels / franchise.

Obvviously you'd be a bit of an idiot if you watched these without having seen the actual movies but the ones I chose are pretty well-known.................so shame on you if you haven't seen them, I guess.

1st up is the alternate ending to Rambo: First Blood.  This ending was actually in line with what happened in the book though thinking that Rambo wouldn't continue gunning down hordes of commies in a further 3 sequels (a 4th is due next year) is horrifying!!

Probably the only time you're ever going to see a shot dead Rambo.

Heh, speaking of which this is probably what Rambo should've done in First Blood Part II when he was abandoned in Vietnam:

8-bit New York

Cool little short from an animator showing the old-school pixels attacking New York.

The Toshiba Space Chair Project

Here's a cool little advertisment campaign Toshiba are running for their LCD TVs where they sent your average armchair up into the atmosphere.

It got up to 98,000 feet and took 83 minutes before the helium ballon eventually popped and the chair fell back down in pieces.

Looks good, but if you were sitting in that chair you'd be returning to earth as a popsicle.

How to fuck up your caravan!

A stuck caravan that just won't budge.............floor it and see what happens, then.



At least he has a trailer now.

One step closer to a real Terminator

I dunno about you but I think this is a bit fucking creepy!
