Revealing mistake: After Nuclear Man destroys the cab's hood, the shot changes and there's a thick string running behind him all along the car, and the cab driver is stretching out to pull it. Probably he was activating some sort of bad FX.

8.3/10.I really liked this sequel. I can understand people's dislike such as nobody wants Hollywood, of all places, to lecture us on nuclear war.Still it's better than Superman 3.Christopher Reeve is still the only Superman to me, the other guys can fight for second place.The only part I couldn't swallow was Clark not being attracted to Mariel Hemingway's Lacy Warfield.I get the boy scout routine but come on, what is this guy made of?Lead?A small joke there folks.Still it's a fun watch.

Answer: There appears to be multiple reasons. They had creative differences, ultimately resulting in a poorly received movie. Kidder said Reeves, who co-wrote the story, had an inflated ego and clashed with Furie.
