Superman II/Trivia

"Ever heard of parachutes?"
 * Hey It's That Guy: Admiral Motti gets no respect from Ursa, even if he's just reporting the news...
 * The other General ("I answer ONLY to the President!") retired and went into real estate, offering Clark top money for the Kent farm, sight unseen!
 * The newsstand guy is really a cosmonaut.
 * "The big one is just as strong as Damian Thorn!".
 * He doesn't know what "curl" is because he was drinking beer at the bar in those days.
 * His colleague's been too busy saving the world.
 * Popeye Doyle was so famous, he could hire his own voice impersonator!

"He knows where the Eiffel Tower is, Olsen."
 * Detective Friday is looking for Non.
 * Mr. Kent, Uncle Vernon is trying to blow up the Eiffel Tower, in Paris.


 * Zod couldn't kill Jor-El and Supes wouldn't accept his challenge, so Luthor gave him the next best thing.
 * Kneel before Zod! And tell him I'm F***NG COMING!
 * If Superman turned the world too fast, too much, Jimmy Olsen would be erased from his family picture!

 * What Could Have Been: Fans got a taste of this when the Richard Donner cut of Superman II was released (though it obviously wasn't as polished as it would have been had he been able to properly complete it). The "reversing time" trick was originally intended as a finisher for II, but Donner decided to use it as a memorable climax to the first movie. The directors cut restored it as originally planned, though Donner said he would have worked out a new ending if he was kept on.
