Which box set has the cut of Superman 2 where they tie the freeing of the Phantom Zoners to the ending of 1 when one of the nukes get's thrown in space?

Are you referring to the to the Superman II: Richard Donner Cut.....

I hear that it will be seperate, but I think it will be in the international release, though I am not 100% sure.....

 

[Super Kal]

Well, well, it looks like R1 will be getting more discs after all... I wonder what that extra disc will be. After those reports that the 14 disc box was dead, this is definitely good news.

It seems like there'll be two boxes: the Christopher Reeve box which contains the 4 movies and no Donner Cut and then this one, which does.

However, it must be noted that these are leaked images and are dated 6/06, before SR came out. Reports that the 14 disc box was dead came after that.

I dont understand why the first disc of S:TM is blanked out, but it's in the DVD case itself..... and then theres the disc w/donner on it and the one with singer on it....
this pic just gave me more questions than i had at first!

Im confused, there are 14 discs showing.

Which is going to be the US release?? and only 8 right??

Im not sure which is going to be the US cover art. None mentions or is titled the Chris Reeve collection.

[Super Kal]

this must be that 14 disc collection they were talking about... THANK GOD! we're still getting it...

 

[O'Haire]

We must be getting both and 8 disc and 14 disc sets. I hope so. Because I want the 14 disc.

 

[Ullar]

YES!!!!! i really want the 14-disc set

No deleted scenes with the original Superman II 2 disc DVD?

What a joke. The second disc is now utterly pointless.

Who wants cartoons?

Does WB have the slightest clue...about anything?

 

[ReeveFan1978]

I agree with you. It's called filler. I think on the 4 disc Super the movie, there is a copy of Superman and the Mole men. Um..why????
Love your Ebert quote. I very rarely agree with him.

I do... I've been waiting for those Fleischer cartoons to come out in crystal clear format for a very long time.

 

[Super Kal]

and from the looks of it, we won't be getting a 14 disc set here in the US...

 

[KGBeast]

the inclusion of the Fleischer´s cartoons and Superman and the Mole Men are pointless indeed, it´s just to fill empty space and justify the price. I already have the cartoons in a wonderful two disc set and the George Reeves film is in the first season of the Adventures of Superman (wich i already have too). The only deleted scene on Superman 2 will be the soufflé scene featured in the Restored International Cut

 

[Super Kal]

i disagree... while I have all fleischer cartoons already, these will be completely remastered; they will look more clear and clean than ever before...


and I dont have anything George Reeves wise, so I'm happy to be getting the George Reeves movie included in the set.

 

[OneKnight]

They could sell the remastered Fleischer cartoons separately...or add them to the box set.

We know there were a lot of extra/deleted scenes from Superman II in the ABC television version. I'm not asking them to be put back in the movie. However, I think to deny us those deleted scenes when we know they exist, thrown in with the fact that a lot of us have seen them, well, I think it's a joke.

i mean that the soufflé scene was previously included in the fan cut called "Restored International Cut" which incorporate more than 20 minutes of Donner and Lester´s material. But this scene is going to be included in the US box set. Check this out

Region 2 is getting a slightly different case design. http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/the-ultimate-superman-collection.html This one isn't double hinged or open from both the front & back like the Region 1 version.

I didn't think either was showing that, although I'd love to see it.
