Line 44:
* [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: Almost. The writer's original name for the film was ''Superman Vs. Superman: Superman III'', which was supposed to be a play on the "Superman Vs. Enemy" format that the comics ([[Beam Me Up, Scotty|supposedly]]) often employed. However, the producers of ''[[Kramer vs. Kramer]]'' somehow got the idea that it was supposed to be a rip-off of their film, and threatened to sue the pants off the Salkind Company, resulting in the title being changed to just ''Superman III''.
* [[Pac-Man Fever]]: More literal than usual: Ross fights Superman with a supercomputer... one that is apparently an Atari2600, complete with sound effects lifted directly from that console's execrable version of [[Pac-Man]].
** In this case, [https://web.archive.org/web/20150501141553/http://www.atariage.com/magazines/magazine_page.html?MagazineID=9&CurrentPage=12 Atari themselves created the computerized footage], and made it blockier than they could have on purpose, and were planning to [http://www.atariprotos.com/8bit/software/supermanIII/supermanIII.htm release an Atari 5200 game based on the film]. So they probably provided the 2600 Pac-Man sound effects themselves.
* [[Photo Booth Montage]]: Of Superman, as he changes clothes.
* [[Poke the Poodle]]: The "evil" Superman in ''[[Superman III]]'' is really more of a superhuman [[Jerkass]]; straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa (which is something they've been trying to do for years), tearing a hole in an oil rig, and blowing out the Olympic Torch.
