Here is a “super” deal on the Superman: 5 Film Collection. Score this 5 movie set for only $12.96.
“Superman: The Movie” – Soaring even higher in a state-of-the-art digital transfer from restored elements and with dynamically remixed digital audio, the Academy Award(R)-winning adventure also now includes eight minutes integrated into the film by director Richard Donner. Enjoy more footage of the Krypton Council, a glimpse of stars of prior Superman incarnations, more of Jor-El underscoring his son’s purpose on Earth and an extended sequence inside Lex Luthor’s gauntlet of doom. “Superman II” – Unwittingly released from “Phantom Zone” imprisonment, three super-powered Planet Krypton criminals plant to enslave Earth – just when “Superman” (Christopher Reeve) decides to show a more romantic side to Lois Lane (Margot Kidder). Gene Hackman (as Lex Luthor) also returns from the first film and with a top supporting cast, witty Richard Lester direction and visuals that astound and delight. “Superman III” – Meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), a naive computer programming natural. For him, a keyboard is a weapon and as a result “Superman” faces the microelectronics menace of his life. Christopher Reeve reprises his signature role, depicting his character’s human side as Clark Kent sees Lana Lang, (Annette O’Toole) at a Smallville High School Class Reunion. And when the Man Of Steel becomes his own worst enemy after Kryptonite exposure. Reeve pulls off both roles with dazzling skill. “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace” – Christopher Reeve not only dons the title hero’s cape for the fourth time but also helped develop the movie’s provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel, the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). The two foes clash in an explosive extravaganza that sees “Superman” save the Statue of Liberty, plug a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna and rebuild the demolished Wall Of China. “Superman Returns”: He’s back. A hero for our millennium. And not a moment too soon, because during the five years (much longer in movie-fan years!) Superman sought his home planet, things changed on his adopted planet. Nations moved on without him. Lois Lane now has a son, a fiance and a Pulitzer for “Why the World Doesn’t Need Superman.” And Lex Luthor has a plan that will destroy millions – no, billions – of lives.
