Ross Webster: Congratulations, Gus, old buddy. You're going to go down in history as the man who killed Superman.
Ross Webster: What will it do?
Gus Gorman: Anything I tell it.
Ross Webster: What will it do for me?
Gus Gorman: For you, it will do anything you tell me to tell it to do for you.
Gus Gorman: I don't want to go to jail because there are robbers and rapers and rapers who rape robbers.
Other mistake: Towards the end of the movie, when Superman drops Gus off at the coal mine, Gus begins talking with the coal miners about him and Superman. He then rips open his shirt (as if he had a Superman costume on underneath). How did Gus know that Clark Kent tore his shirt like that in order to change into Superman, or keeps his suit under his clothes at all? The only people who know this fact are the ones who have seen the transformation from Clark to Superman, i.e. the audience.
Question: When Gus is eating at a diner, he overhears a man telling another man that somebody is making money off the oil shortage. How?
Answer: For one, when a commodity like oil is in short supply and the demand is high, the price rises significantly.
