- TriviaAfter Margot Kidder expressed her disgust about the firing of Richard Donner to producers Alexander Salkind and Ilya Salkind, her role was cut to 12 lines and less than five minutes of screen time. In the film's 2006 DVD commentary, Ilya Salkind says there was little need for Lois Lane in this movie because her relationship with Superman ended at the end of Superman II (1980).
- GoofsSet in America, yet the spellings of defence, colour, and unauthorised reveal that it was filmed elsewhere.

Ross Webster: I ask you to kill Superman, and you're telling me you couldn't even do that one, simple thing.

Featured review
The Strange Case of...
Gus Gorman has a skill that's in demand (it's not comedy), he's a natural at typing compute commands, he can influence the weather, as he's really, really clever, salami slicing, dicing, splicing with both hands. But Superman has scuppered these tactics, by stopping his and Russ's (Gus Gorman's paymaster and dastardly boss) storm antics, so they've conjured up a rock, to give their nemesis a shock, and it's turned him into something that's unfit. At a scrapyard a reflection makes a fight, against the Hydelike curse of misery and blight, from the conflict life's renewed, computed enemy pursued, that results in quite an automated fight.
