Anyone seen this? Although a combination of Lester and Donner, it conatins sequences not used in either of the other versions.

This is a fan made cut that came out way before Donner's cut. Actually there is a msg to Donner on the DVD saying the fans wanted his version of S2.

I know.

[Showtime]

WTF?

Is this the version that people were claiming was the Donner Cut previously?

[Super Kal]

yeah it was...


This was the version that I grew up on. I had this at one point on vhs

[Showtime]

yeah it was...


This was the version that I grew up on. I had this at one point on vhs

So this was the one played on television at one point?

[Super Kal]

oh yes... it had the lost kiss on it, the Concorde flyby, and some Donner scenes in it. I loved it as a kid, and to be perfectly honest, I prefer it over the other versions...



if anyone can find a DL of this movie, I'd be very appreciative...

The only place you'll ever find it is eBay.

[Kevin Roegele]

Heh heh heh.....as I wrote that, guess what arrived in my mail?

I agree with kakarot, this may well be the best version....the villains certainly come off as more threatening. Non killing the boy and Zod gunning down men in the White House really should be in every version.

I do remember then. You might be able to find it on Bearshare no?

[Super Kal]

I don't go to P2P sites or use P2P programs anymore... they're just not worth the risk.

[Super Kal]

well, it's not there either...

[Kevin Roegele]

well, it's not there either...

That's where I located it.

[Super Kal]

just looked there, didn't find it

[Kevin Roegele]

just looked there, didn't find it

It won't always be there as there are very few copies. But keep looking. It's just chance that it's not on the US version but I found it straight away on eBay.co.uk.

[Super Kal]

well, I think I found someone who has it... maybe we can set up some kind of trade or something...

[Super Kal]

incredible... I just met a guy who's willing to mail it to me...

[Showtime]

You mean you were in like a bookstore or a local cafe, and this guy just happened to ask you if you wanted the Lester-Donner Cut?

lol, no, i was doing my research on the web earlier today, and I found a guy who had the DVD of it, and I asked him if he still had it. He said he did, and I asked him if he could hook me up with it. He said yes, and I told him that if he wanted anything from me, just feel free ot ask, and I'll see what I can do.

I figured...I was just playing around.

But ummm...I dont know about that last part...be careful.

Did you ask her to sign a copy of Hocus Pocus? :yay:

LOL, yeah, treat carefully Doctor Faustus.

[Super Kal]

who the hell is Faustus?

[Showtime]

Did you ask her to sign a copy of Hocus Pocus? :yay:

I didn't, she was with two other people and had a hat on. She was trying to be icognito.

[Showtime]

who the hell is Faustus?

I believe he's refereing to the Marlowe play.

[Super Kal]

I believe he's refereing to the Marlowe play.
I'm still not following...

[Kevin Roegele]

I didn't, she was with two other people and had a hat on. She was trying to be icognito.

Two other people? Witches maybe? And a hat on? A witches' hat?

Why am I obsessed with this movie? Somebody help me.

Found it! Although after reading a review, still prefer Donner's cut.

Watch the film first. :up:

the restored international cut was quite popular back in 2003, i download it from myspleen.net and i still enjoy it, it was a great fan effort, very well done, and besides, includes many great extras like the on screen guide that tell you what scenes are lester's and donner's, the soundtrack and the making of

[Super Kal]

you still got it?

[KGBeast]

yes, i still got the restored international cut, i would never forgive myself to loose this now "impossible to find" edit, i wish to upload a torrent and seed for months to all of you but my connection is too damn slow, believe me, it took 2 and a half months to download the 2 disc set

[Spider-Fan]

Never heard of this. Qustions to those who have it: Do we see any of the stupid powers in it (like the "S" net)? Does it end with the kiss? Do we see all of Jor-El's fortress scenes?

Answers would be much appreciated.

1. yes you still do
2. yes it does
3. no you don't

all in all this is still the Lester cut with Donner scenes, and I believe one STM scene of Superman out flying the Concorde, a scene I want to see so damn bad...

It's a cool scene, it's added when Supes is flying to Paris.

What I love is when the RIC shows versions of scenes neither Donner or Lester used. So you have three different versions. For instance, in the Planet at the end, Zod tells Non to kill Luthor ("Kill the rest, starting with him.")

In the Lester version, Luthor reminds him they, 'had a few laughs' at the White House.

In the Donner version, Luthor adds that, "You ought to get that fixed," when Non growls at him.

In the RIC cut, Luthor says that asking for Australia was too much.

I love it!
