Superman Returns

After 5 years absence, Superman (Brandon Routh) returns to Earth from his home planet Krypton, which was supposedly destroyed. Back on Earth, he learns that his old love Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) is engaged, has a son whose parentage is a bit uncertain and has won a Pulitzer for an article about why the world doesn't need Superman. He also learns that his old enemy Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) has escaped from prison and is hatching a new, dangerous plan involving crystals stolen from Superman's arctic hideout and a few shards of Kryptonite. It's a race to the finish as Superman tries to convince Lois that not only does the world need him, but she needs him as well, and at the same time destroy Luthor's plans before they destroy Superman's life and the lives of countless others.

Deliberate mistake: When Lex tests the crystal fragment, it knocks out all the power on the airplane Lois is flying in, yet the flight attendant's amplified voice can still be heard over the speakers. (00:30:40)

Trivia: Just after the Jet "lands" in the stadium, the film shoots back over to Lex and his gang at the mansion. We see a closeup of the battered miniature town and there is a downed sign showing the name of the model railroad city, "Smallville."

Question: During the yacht rescue, Superman is stepping on the door and getting a grip to fly. How is he flying/lifting if he has technically landed?

Answer: Superman doesn't fly through blasters on his feet. He simply levitates. In this instance, however, he also happens to be holding onto the object that he has his feet on (the boat), which means that as he moves up, the boat he has his feet on is moving up at the same rate.
