I recently found out that a new Superman II was released.
This version is the original Superman 1's director (richard Donner) and has brand new special effects <which look fantastic ...like the phantom zone)
I didnt know that Superman I and II were filmed pretty much back to back and that they had over 3-4 hours of footage which was cut into Superman II (including several versions of the ending)
Well, I heard that the new director who replaced Donner (aparently Donner was removed cause of the Marlon Brando law suit.........but NOT 100% sure) and didnt want it to look or feel like Superman I at all (he hated the epic feel of part 1 for some reason).
Anyways if you liked Superman II ........you will LOVE Donner's version. It's completely different and they re-inserted original Brando scenes.
There are so many new scenes, (and changes of order AND score) that it's almost a completely new movie.
Its much faster paced and all in all a far superior version than the original.

(love the start)
and the famous "Lois jumps out of a window" is so stupid but much funnier than the original version in Niagra falls.

I really recomend this.
