I remember that part scared the crap out of me but I couldn't stop watching.

Fun fact: I was a kid, visiting my aunt in Calgary, when Superman III was being filmed. I was walking downtown Calgary, and we came upon a crowd gathered around a skyscraper. Soon after, a stuntman, dressed as Richard Pryor's character with a pink cape and wearing skis, jumped off the top of the building, way way down, landing on a huge airbag. When the stuntman finally came down off the bag, i got him to sign a polaroid photo i took as he was in midair.

This truly is a fantastic movie. It’s interesting to see Superman portrayed in a rough situation and to see what happens when the villains take advantage of that. They created some great suspense showing just what Evil Superman could get away with. I have rewatched this movie several times and I always enjoy it. I like Gus Gorman a lot too. I think Richard Pryor did an excellent job playing the character!

I remember reading the novelization in 5th grade. And certainly most of the deleted scenes of the movie were in the book. The scientist in the factory fire was described as a mad dr. And the underlying tone was that Superman actually was not very happy with the Clark Kent part of his disguise. And that he really had to hold back against the way Kent was treated by society. And there was a nice part written of how he learned a new prospective when he defeated his " evil" half. And how Jor El helped him. It was a cool book especially for an 11 yr old.

The bit about Lex Luthors business man background being influenced by SM3 is definitely one of the most interesting things I've ever heard. Thanks Minty I can't wait to point it out to my mates.

In 1983 I was 9 to 10 years old, and this movie was my very first superhero movie that I got to watch on an actual movie theatre, so I have a special place in my heart for it. I left the theatre jumping and playing superman, and I was really excited after watching it, so to me, if the movie was made for entertaining the kids and superman fans, the producers can say 'mission acomplished'! 🤙

*_I truly enjoyed Superman 3™ back then and still today. It's not Richard Pryor's fault that the film leaned so heavily into comedy. The makers did that because Richard Pryor was a hotshot comedian at the time who was going to co-star in the 3rd film and they felt it would be better to accentuate everything in a way to make Richard Pryor's comedic existence fit in. Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20 but at least they took a chance and tried something new & different. Unlike today's cinema landscape where studio executives care so much about profits that they demand all films to stay within familiar boundaries, thus, giving us the exact same $hit over & over again [I'm looking at YOU, Disney/Marvel/Star Wars]._* 🤨

I grew up with this and part 2. The junkyard fight between good and bad Superman and tge fight with the super computer were great.

Actually bought a 4 movie Superman pack just to get part 3 which I can not find individually anymore. It is always a favorite to me. I won't call it a greatest movie of all time contender, but it entertains me and the Smallville scenes are my favorite.

Is and always will be a landmark in my childhood.🤘😆🤘

The car filling up with water scared me when I was a kid. Actually, several scenes were scary, in 3, now that I think of it. The woman robot, the crusher crushing Clark, the combine-harvesters blades, Supes getting smothered in wires. It's like a mild horror in some parts, especially to a kid.

Speaking as someone who grew up with Superman 3, I don't understand why it's hated so much. I loved it as a kid and I still enjoy it now.

I love superman III because it's one of the earliest films I can remember really liking to watch as a child every time it was on tv on a Sunday on itv in the UK. Who doesn't like the Clark Kent vs superman fight? That's my fave bit.

After reading the comments I am convinced to watch again. I remember not liking the films very much but the enthusiasm displayed below is inspiring. I remember that by the time III came out that there was franchise fatigue. Thanks for another thought-provoking video about the greatest super-hero.

This is my favorite Superman movie. The silly parts are lame but the story of a good man losing himself and having to fight his own darkness and eventually triumph is poetic and great.

After all these decades, I don't think we'll get a Superman as good as Reeve. 1983 was golden. Jedi, Superman and Bond all in one Summer.

I remember watching this as a kid with my parents and brothers at the drive in movie theater.

The battle scene Superman vs himself is a clear message of real life battle within us. It teaches us that we are to blame sometimes when we limited ourselves in life . I really enjoyed this movie

This kind of movie should not have been a superman movie in my opinion. There's no focus on a charismatic bad guy too camp. I don't understand what they were trying to do. Although, I'll give the movie this: that scene where Clark has to defeat Evil Superman in order to become Superman again is well worth watching this movie.

the part with the chick being turned into a cyborg monster... yeah that scared the heck outta me as a small kid. Nice trip down memory lane and good video

While it's a guilty pleasure, Superman III isn't very good. Here's why: 1. It's not Superman's movie. It's Richard Pryor's. Gus is the true protagonist, not the titular character. 2. The over emphasized slapstick. It's on par with or probably worse than the action-comedies of the modern superhero genre. The opening scene served no purpose other than to show Superman do 1 heroic thing. The part where Gus accidentally causes the ATM to spill money, overcharge the husband & causes the crossing signals to fight each other added nothing but were there to make people chuckle. Time wasted. 3. No adherence to the comic books. While I'm glad Ilya Salkind's treatment in which Superman & Supergirl would be lovers was ditched, there was no reason to not use Brainiac as the main villain & instead of focusing on Ross Webster's Lex Luthor-like schemes, give the viewers a sci-fi action blast where Superman has to save Metropolis from being shrunk & captured by Brainiac. Or hell, have Evil Superman turn into Bizarro once he & Clark split. Have his condition deteriorate to the point that he resembles Bizarro. The comic "Superman '78" is what Superman III should have been. Tweak Salkind's treatment to have Supergirl be his cousin & not his love interest, have Brainiac be obsessed with her because of Argo City & then his discovery of another Kryptonian living on Earth & have some super powered brawls & Superman III could have been an undisputed classic.

Super Mam III was one of the best film I've ever seen growing up in the 80s.

As a side note, I find it incredibly refreshing that someone else appreciated Frank Langella's Skeletor. Yes, a departure from the original high pitched voice, cranky Saturday morning villain to something more along the line of a Shakespearian antagonist.

It's interesting, a couple of years ago I re-watched all of the Reeve Superman movies for the first time in ages; and I found that my impressions of them were largely different from what I remembered. My recollections of them was that Superman II was the best, that the original was slow and had bad effects. I can't even remember what I thought of the first one and never got through IV as a kid. So I was very surprised that I found the original motion picture to be the best; and despite being so long, it still holds up incredibly well. Meanwhile, Superman II is not all that great in my opinion. If it had been completed as the companion piece to the first one as it was intended, and not had all the behind the scenes crap, it could have been good, but even the effects I thought pale compared to the first one. I really don't mind Superman III and think it has a lot of potential. There are definitely parts that could have been better, but overall it's not that bad.

I was 12 when this came out. It was gold. I love it. Bad superman is the best scene that has yet to be topped.

As a kid this was my favorite Superman movie and sparked a love of the character still to this day. Suck it marvel. I loved the bowling scene, freezing the lake, and the scrapyard scrap. The part where he stands up after defeating his evil self is pure gold. The way the theme song started and then he opens his shirt to reveal the bright colors gave me chills. This film was a great follow up to the more serious Superman 2. I liked that they Lana was the main girl rather than Lois. And Richard Pryor was the comic relief that it needed. I still quote from this movie. “There’s vodka in it now”.

I was able to watch some of the filming when I was a kid while filming downtown here.

I saw this at the theater and loved it. I was eight. All these years later, I still like the movie, but nothing like the first two. Another cool video. Thanks, mate.

When i was a kid SM 4 was my favorite movie..man i should try and watch it again..

This movie is the basis for a great joke about drunk superman and a bar in a skyscraper 🤣🤣

This video came out at just the right time. I was in my local Goodwill thrift store, and came across a record. It was the soundtrack for Superman III. They use the comedic cover for the album art.

S3 was my first and fav Superman movie. My mom sat me in front of the tv to get me out of her face when I was about 4 and from then on he was my favorite hero.

RP alone magically being able to program is hilarity that keeps on giving. Great movie in a So Bad It's Good context.

I like Superman III. There’s some great scenes, the split Superman being a major highlight. Also the music is excellent too.

Love this channel! Greetings from germany!

Great video Minty! I love going back to the 80's in my mind...

Appreciated hearing how it impacted you. I’ll try to keep that in mind more as I watch modern movies that disappoint, wondering what kids aren’t even picking up on those things and are just watching it as inspiration

Thanks for sharing Minty! Brilliant!

Hey Minty- you know you’re right I think Superman III is a really good film. It has more valleys than peaks when it comes to action compared to the other previous two but it’s still a good fun movie to watch and get lost in.

A guilty pleasure of mine! You’re not alone, Minty!

Spot on review buddy, can't argue with any of it. Well done and very well presented thank you for all your hard work. All the best from Scotland

This superman movie has the best practical effects of them all, especially the take offs and flying throughout the movie.
