Line 26:
* [[Hulk Smash]]: "Destroy Superman!"
* [[Hurl It Into the Sun]]: Superman rounds up all the nuclear weapons on Earth and throws them into the sun. Unfortunately, [[Lex Luthor]] attaches a genetic matrix created from Superman's hair to the final nuclear missile. And when Superman throws it into the sun, the result is the creation of Nuclear Man, who Superman then has to fight.
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: A plot device introduced in ''[[Superman II]]'' which becomes a bit more disturbing in this film. Superman comes awfully close to using this power as a date rape drug.
* [[Monumental Damage]]: The Great Wall of China and the Statue of Liberty.
* [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]]: Surprisingly, Superman's "Rebuild-the-Great-Wall-Of-China-Vision" is not ''quite'' the most ridiculous in the character's many decades of stories.
* [[Oddly Named Sequel]]: The films were simply numbered up until this installment, which gained a subtitle in "The Quest For Peace."
* [[One -Book Author]]: Mark Pillow (Nuclear Man) never acted in any other movie (before or since).
* [[Paid Harem]]: Lex Luthor has one.
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Nuclear Man.
Line 39:
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: Lacy Warfield
* [[Totally Radical]]: Jon Cryer is just trying too damn hard.
* [[Two -Timer Date]]: Pulled when Clark has to go on a date with Lacy and give an interview to Lois as Superman at the same time. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as even Superman has trouble maintaining the charade despite having superspeed and all that. Made all the more annoying because Clark had outed himself to Lois as Superman twice in the film series, one of those times in this movie, but erased her memory for reasons inscrutable. The sequence, which calls for a deft, farcical touch, also gets the opposite from the director.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Nuclear Man loses his strength ''in the shade''.
* [[Wolverine Claws]]: Nuclear Man sports some nasty sharp bag-lady claws.
