Corrected entry: When Jor-El is "talking to" Lex, footage of Brando is used from Superman I in which (in this movie) he says "So. Kal-El. Speak". However, in the first film the line was "So. Speak", to which Clark asked who he was and was then told his Kryptonian name.

Superman Returns (2006)
Corrected entry: When Superman brings the plane to a halt on the stadium pitch, the nose cone only buckles a bit. Surely, under the strain of all that weight it would have collapsed?
Correction: It's an established, if infrequently acknowledged, part of Superman's powers in the comic that he's often capable of lifting and otherwise manipulating objects that should crumble or otherwise collapse under their own weight without this happening. It's often considered to be a form of touch-based telekinesis that acts to enhance the structural integrity of the object in question.

Superman Returns (2006)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Superman lifts up the sunken yacht in order to save Lois and her family it shows when he lets go that he was holding that entire half of the ship completely out of the water with one hand. This is impossible, assuming that he was able to lift that much that spot on the ship could not hold that much weight without ripping away from the rest of the ship.
Correction: In the comics, Superman has frequently been seen to lift something that should really crumble or break under the strain without it doing so, entire buildings, for example, to the extent that it is an acknowledged part of his powers (described as a unconscious tactile telekinesis holding the object together while he's in contact with it) that this occurs.

Correction: So, what's the mistake that you're claiming? Yes, they've manipulated old footage for the new film, that's true, but this isn't a video that repeats the same every time; it's an interactive projection of Jor-El created by Kryptonian technology. This isn't the same incident as the original Superman film; it's a different situation, ergo, the projection doesn't have to say the same thing.
