Superman II corrections

Ursa throws the sewer lid at Superman sending him flying backwards into the car windshield. Watch the sewer lid carefully when Superman actually hits the windshield. You can see that the sewer lid was actually attached to a belt around his waist so that it would stay in place for the shots where he is flying backward through the air. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Ms. Teschmacher comes to rescue Lex Luther and Otis from prison. That's okay, except that in the first movie, Lex accidentally shot a missile at Hackensack, New Jersey. When Ms. Teschmacher informs him that she has family in Hackensack, he just looks at his watch, shakes his head, and walks away. In other words, he doesn't care if her family lives or not. (That's why she saves Superman in part I.) Why, after the disloyalty of Lex, would she come back to rescue him from prison in Superman II? [Definitely not a plot hole; possibly just a character flaw. In the first movie we learn that Valerie Perrine's character is hopelessly in love with Luthor, despite his vile actions. And, who knows what took place between the two movies? There could easily have been a reconciliation between the two while Luthor was in prison.]

In "Superman", it shows that Superman's mom gave the baby to Jor-El and he placed Superman in the ship, But at the start of "Superman 2" when it shows flash backs of the first movie, it shows his mom putting him in the ship. [We do not actually see his mother put him in the ship, she is just crying over him. Since Brando prevented any of his footage from 'Superman' from being used in this movie, they had to edit the clips so that we didn't see him. The clip shown was actually in 'Superman', they just left out anything with his father.]

When fighting the villains at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman makes duplicates of himself that appear and disappear. He says that he likes this game, and used to play it as a boy. Since he was sent to Earth as a baby and there were none like him on Earth, who did he play it with? [Superman didn't say he played the game 'as a boy', he said 'at school'. He was actually making a light hearted throwaway comment. This is obvious when you consider that the Fortress, which is generating the images, was not built until he was 18 so he's not telling a genuine childhood anecdote.]

When Superman gives up his powers at the fortress of solitude, how do he and Lois get the car to go to the diner without freezing their butts off? [If he was planning to give up his powers, then he obviously thought it out first. I imagine he planned ahead and brought parkas.]

When Superman breaks General Zod's hand and picks him up with one hand, you can see a sweat stain under his arm. [Superman sweats. I would think he would be a little nervous about trying to trick the super villains into losing their powers.]
