Christopher Reeve was absolutely perfect as Clark/Superman. Looks every inch the Superhero, but plays a classic nervous bungler to perfection as well.

I actually really liked Superman III for two main reasons -- the good/bad Superman fight and the amazing chemistry between Clark and Lana. It was so refreshing that she actually preferred Clark to Superman, especially after seeing how abrasive Lois was to Clark.

Me too. If they had kept the film to Lana/Clark/Smallville + Evil Superman, it would have been amazing! Reeve looked like he was having fun playing a baddie, but it was too short lived. The chemistry between him and O' Toole was great too.

It was a film that had a lot of good components there to make a truly good film, but the Salkinds, Lester, and the Newmans had a different vision for what the Superman films should be - and one in which they all seemed to be in complete agreement on, which is why there was zero production trouble on this film. Compare with Donner’s shoot for the first two films. More epic, high quality nature to Donner’s stuff, but constant interference and complaints from the Salkinds (which to be fair to them, some of which was driven by cost and potential release date overruns, which as independent producers was coming solely out of their pockets). But yeah, all the elements there for a good Superman film.

They knew it that’s why she got the role and even general zod actor in superman 2 was the voice of jor el in smallville ( Terence stamp)

She's so cute, she first gave the paper plates instead of the LP's by mistake to the DJ. Shows how she really has similarities with Clark. Really the girl next door, the girl from home. She and the Smallville scenes were the best thing about this movie. I don't know, but even reading the comics growing up in the 70's and 80's, I preferred Lana Lang over Lois Lane. And though "Superman III" wasn't so well received in 1983, most everyone agreed that Annette O'Toole was an enchanting Lana and that she and Christopher Reeve had terrific chemistry. At the end of the movie, I thought Lois Lane clearly realized she had very serious competition. (And the fact that this Lana loves Clark and not Superman adds to her appeal)

It sucks that some of the only times we see them end up together in the comics it’s because it’s an alternate universe, he’s some level of villain, he’s lost his powers (so never moved to Metropolis), or some combination thereof. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE that Lana likes Clark at least as much if not more so than Supes (I do too), but they seem to think Lana can’t keep up with his lifestyle as Superman, or would only be his partner in villainy-it’s just weird.

0:09 We’ve all had that moment. Meeting an old crush from the past and for whatever reason it didn’t work out. But now you both look great and there’s a possibility at a second chance.

Gavan O'Herlihy who played Brad Wilson recently passed away.

i take the stairs a little slower these days and I have these little spells

I love the look on the DJ's face as Lana handed him paper plates from 0:47-0:48 like he was thinking "why did she hand me paper plates instead of those records she was supposed to give me?" especially since she handed him the records at 1:13 apologizing that she's going nuts with him giving the paper plates back. Especially that gave him the opportunity to change the record at 1:59.

i always knew Smallville had guest that somehow have bn involve in Superman but i never knew Annette O'toole once played Lana Lang and now Clark Kent mother.

On Earth-167, they are Dr. Virgil Swan and Martha Kent.

@auroreanfly No doubt about it. They are very aware of these things...and Relic was no different. In the 200th episode (Homecoming) Clark goes to his 5 year reunion at SV high...They even steal Annette's yellow dress, rip off about a foot or two to make it more revealing, and plaster it on the wrong girl alluding to Lana even though lois will never be as special to Clark as Lana. They do that kind of throwback to comics/movie ALL the time.

And in the end they go Back to the Future (even tough it still had to come) :)

Regarding that truck driver named Rocky on "Superman 2", Clark only seriously injured him because the chef Ron and his wife didn't like him and were happy someone taught him a lesson.

While Superman III is not a great movie I thought Christopher Reeve and Annette O'Toole gave great performances with their roles, I also loved the Superman/Clark Kent fight along with many of the action scenes, I wish we would've gotten to see more of Brad and less of Richard Pryor.
