World Some questions about Superman II

That was actually supposed to be Superman moving fast and rebuilding the wall himself. But Warner's gave Golum/Globus 40 mill to make Superman 4, and they spent most of that one other films (Master's of the Universe and a few others), and only spent 10 or 15 mill on Supes 4. So at that time, there was no money left and everyone was working on the film for free at that point, so they didn't have any money to put the animation of Superman streaking around rebuilding it, just the background plate of the wall going together. So they put that in and Reeve's reactions to the people on the wall after he rebuilt it was turned into the Great Wall of China rebuild vision. The special effects guys also had to shoot inserts. The shot of Clark putting the green Father crystal into his jacket at the Kent farm. They needed that shot, but didn't have money to rent a farm, so the effects guys drove around a farming comunity and looked for a farm that had a barn that the family living there wasnt home. they broke into the barn and got that shot. that is also not Reeve's hand, but one of the effects guys. That info was from an interview with the visual effects producer of the film.

That's very funny.

The sad thing is that Jon Peters kept his job. :down
 
Couldn't they just have asked to use the barn, did they really have to break in? Rather ironic, seeing as they were filming a Superman film, wouldn't you say?
