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)

Superman Returns is the fifth installment on the franchise where the title hero finds that the world has moved on and Superman has to find his place again. Lex Luthor hatches an evil plot involving pieces of his home planet. This is the only one starring a grossly underrated Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, James Marsden and others. Great score, decent effects and a pretty compelling storyline plus Marlon Brando.
More mistakes in Superman Returns
Superman: Your wrote that the world doesn't need a saviour. But every day I hear people calling out for one.
Trivia: The two writers of the movie make a cameo appearance as the two teens in the museum who are told it's time to leave and they are a bit "man-handled."
Question: Okay couple of Questions. 1) Superman Returns is between parts 2 and 3, Lex at the end of Superman Returns is left on possibly an uncharted island. How did Superman know what island to pick Lex up on so he can be put in jail for part 4 where he breaks out of jail? 2) What happens to Lois and Superman's or Lois's boyfriend kid since there is no reference to any kid in parts 2 3 or 4.
Answer: The film doesn't take place between II and III, it just carries on from Superman II, ignoring 3 and 4 completely. Think of it as a parallel timeline.
