Watched Supes IV for the first time in a while last night, not as bad as I thought it would be.
The film however was obviously cut down and heavily edited to get it from its original 134mins runtime to 82mins.

My question is do you think that w/ the advent of the SE dvds later this year and the full original SupermanII film we might also get SupermanIV as it was originally intended, w/ all the deleted stuff reinstated?

I sure hope so.
 
Gandy over at Superman Cinema said that everything in the package won't be totally locked down until about August, but during a chat with one of the Warner guys, it was stated that they are at least including deleted scenes. Of all of the Superman films, this one was my favorite (disregarding the horrible FX and VERY horrible editing). You may or may not have a copy, but pick up the movie adaption comic. It shows exactly how the film was supposed to play out. Originally, it was conceived as being the biggest FX film of it's day. Too bad Golan and Globus are dirty scumbags and "re-directed" the budget.
 
Yeah the 36mil budget got cut in half.

It would have basically had a extra 52 minutes if they did not cut it down.
I'd love to see the film like that, it has a extra fight w/ Nuclear Man in it to.

Actually, the fight that got cut was with Luthor's first cloning attempt, which failed and he got vaporized or something. Kinda like Bizarro in Byrn'e MOS series.
 
Superman IV is not a proper movie. It's unfinished, has a huge ammount of runtime missing, half the budget it's supposed to....and so on.
 
I just hope w/ the SE's later this year we get ALL the missing scences from IV reinstated. That would be gutter.
