Superman III

Creamguide(Films): Rise of the Robots!

It’s another instalment of swearing and getting Roshan Seth’s name wrong as Chris, Craig and Allan watch the sequel to the sequel to Superman. Yes, it’s top-notch Salkindery ‘SUPERMAN III’ layered over with sexual imagery and impressions of George Chisholm and Windsor Davies. Turn on the commentary as the Warner Brothers logo fades out and stand by with a sausage roll and a tin of Schlitz.

    Jackie CooGAN was the Kid with Chaplin. Confusingly, Jackie Cooper was also a child star. Cooper was the first child actor to receive an Academy Award nomination.[1] At age 9, he was also the youngest performer to have been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role—an honor that he received for the film Skippy (1931).[2] For nearly 50 years, Cooper remained the youngest Oscar nominee in any category, until he was surpassed by Justin Henry’s nomination, at age 8, in the Supporting Actor category for Kramer vs. Kramer (1979).

    Is my memory playing tricks on me or was there once an edit of this (a TV one maybe) that had a more traditional space-backgrounded opening credit sequence, accompanied by the John Williams theme, and *then* had all the Bob Todd/penguins/Street slapstick gubbins as a “proper” opening scene?
