1987's 超人 4: The Quest for Peace was the last film that had Christopher Reeve playing Superman. Something that might seem odd about the film is how short it was. The film was only 90 分钟 long. The 前一个 three 超人 films were all two hours long at the minimum.
The running time for the theatrical releases of the 超人 films:
Superman: 143 minutes
超人 2: 127 minutes
超人 3: 125 minutes
超人 4: 90 minutes
超人 4 being over a half 小时 shorter than the other films was surprising. Over thirty 分钟 of content was cut out of the film. 你 might be wondering why they'd cut out so much from the film. Apparently, test audiences didn't respond well to the film, so they tried to cut it down as much as they could. Sadly, this led to several important scenes being cut out of the film.
In the film, 超人 battles a villain called Nuclear Man. Originally, there was supposed to be two Nuclear Mans in the film. Deleted scenes had Lex Luthor creating a prototype Nuclear Man. The prototype Nuclear Man was much 更多 cheerful but also less intelligent than the other Nuclear Man. The prototype Nuclear Man was made to destroy Superman. He and 超人 had a fight scene. As to be expected, 超人 didn't get destroyed. He won and defeated the prototype Nuclear Man. That led to Lex Luthor creating the 下一个 Nuclear Man.
There was a deleted scene where there was a tornado. A little girl started being taken away 由 the tornado, so 超人 flew 由 and saved the little girl. The little girl was played 由 Alexandra Reeve, Christopher Reeve's daughter.
The theatrical release had a subplot involving Lacy Warfield, the daughter of a rich man that was trying to take over the Daily Planet. Lacy started off as a rich, spoiled person, but Clark Kent's modest kindness rubbed off on her and inspired her to become a better person. Sadly, a lot of important scenes were cut out of this subplot. Deleted scenes had Nuclear Man kidnapping Lacy and bringing her to Lex's place. Lex attempted to sneak out, but 超人 showed up. That led to some really funny lines from Lex. Lacy helped serve as the bait 超人 needed to distract Nuclear Man from his violent rampage. Lacy's last scene was also cut from the film. The scene showed her sharing a tender goodbye with Clark.
Another scene from the end of the film that was cut had 超人 taking a boy named Jeremy for a ride around space. The scene had 超人 express his hope for things in the world to get better.
All of these scenes were very important to the film, so cutting them out was a mistake. These scenes can be watched as extras on the DVD release of 超人 4. However, it would be great to see the scenes be put back into the film. If these scenes were added back into the film, the film's storylines would make 更多 sense.
超人 4 was hated 由 a lot of people. I personally loved the film, but a lot of 超人 粉丝 consider it to be the worst 超人 film. Considering the film's poor reputation, 你 might be wondering what the point would be of releasing an extended cut of the film. Well, there have been instances where perfectly good films get chopped into shorter, less coherent films. When these films get an extended version, they tend to get 更多 respect. I believe that it's possible for 超人 4 to win over 更多 粉丝 if the 粉丝 got to see the full version of the film.
Christopher Reeve was, still and always will be one of the most 流行的 actors to play Superman. His 粉丝 wish that they could see 更多 of him in the role, so seeing a new version of one of his films could be a real treat for them. 超人 4 was Christopher Reeve's final time playing his most iconic role, so I think it's about time that the longer version of the film gets released.
