Nonetheless, fans continued to campaign for the film, including Birmingham, England native Dharmesh Chauhan who launched his website, supermancinema.co.uk, in which he petitioned for a release of the Richard Donner cut.[37] In May 2004, the Planet of the Apes fansite TheForbidden-Zone.com launched an Internet campaign demanding Warner Bros. to allow Donner to release his version of Superman II in conjunction with the film's 25th anniversary.[38] On June 19, 2004, the studio responded with the statement, "Warner Home Video is supportive of an extended version of Superman II on DVD. However, there are complex legal issues that need to be resolved before the film can be re-released. Warner Home Video is presently addressing those issues."[39] That same month, Margot Kidder said in an interview for Starlog: "There's a whole other Superman II in a vault somewhere, with scenes of Chris and me that have never seen the light of day. It's far better than the one that was released."[40]

Superman II has had it's history of different cuts both official (Theatrical, TV Cuts, Donner and the Vudu/iTunes Donner Cut) and unofficial (Green Cut, Restored International, Booshman, etc.) so it's nothing new to redit the film.
This uses the Donner cut as a base, but adding back in footage from the Theatrical Cut (and other sources) where it's not terrible or just expands the film in a good way. There's no Paris terrorist attack, East Idaho antics, Bear rug, memory erasing kiss or any other terrible Lester scenes. I aimed to purely add back scenes that don't comprimise the film or what Donner had shot. I didn't want to replace scenes.

I haven't finished editing yet, I've only done the basic visual edit, slotting back in all the material that I wanted to use, none of the audio work has been done yet.
Here's a first pass at trying to get the Lester Fortress to look like the Donner one
Here's roughly what I'm trying to match (the Donner footage)
It's not perfect yet, but close. The continuity with the blood and bruises isn't dead on either, but I might try to fix it somehow. Ebsynth maybe?
I've also done work to upscale the SD Deleted Scenes to HD and they don't look bad.
Colour work is still yet to finalise, and the audio is way off, but it's always a WIP. Hopefully one day the SMII TV Cut will dee the light of day on Blu-Ray, much like how the SM1 TV Cut did, so that I could use those scenes, but alas that's unlikely for now.

I would say it's very much an improvement over the Theatrical Cut, as it matches Superman: The Movie far more and the Lois/Superman relationship is a lot better. Adding Brando back in gives it a little more gravitas and continuity with the first film more. The score has been redone, sound effects, visual effects, a lot of editing done from scratch, it's the Snyder Cut of it's day.
The Vudu/iTunes release of the film is an extended Donner Cut that is different to the DVD/Blu-Ray. It adds most of the East Idaho antics from the three Kryptonians, as well as some more stuff with Lex/Teshmacher in the Fortress, as well as one scene that was only added in TV Cuts and presented as a deleted scene on the Donner Blu-Ray. I don't think every digital retailer has this strange version, but iTunes and Vudu definitly still do.

Here's my version of the re-powering scene, with a bit of regrading to match in the theatrical footage.
And also the new upscaled ending, with Luthor's arrest

They both feel like the original vision was left unfinished, cobbled together with different pieces completed by other people (Theatrical: Donner->Lester) (DC: Donner->Thau). Bobson Dugnutt mentioned the great parts, so I'll mention Donner has more Lex dialogue, which fall flat for me. And if you really scrutinize them back to back, you'll notice couple different takes of the same scene (kryptonians @ daily planet)
Biggest debated difference on the internet: do you prefer Lois finding out about Superman's secret identity via pink bear trip? or do you prefer Lois finding out on her own (which can also be pretty ridiculous)

How she goes about it though, jumping off a building is a HUGE leap of faith, and suggests some sort of psychosis. Lester really should've just re-filmed the same scene but tweak / cut that part. Also Clark is a troll (Lois, what have you done?!)
The gun contradicts Superman I. If Superman can see the bullet from that mugger and catch it in front of Lois with his hand, he should've seen her firing a blank and know there's no bullet. Then he could've acted like "omg, i'm still alive" then "Lois wtf" Reactions:ZariusT tylerdurden389Well-known memberMessages900Reaction score29Trophy Points28May 1, 2021#9I think if Donner had finished the film, and he actually "shot" (hehe) the blank bullets scene, there would've obviously been additional dialogue, and I'd imagine it would've something at least a little similar to Superman subconsciously "outing" himself to Lois, because deep down he really wanted to.
As for what we got, I think Selutron came up with a decent compromise (though granted, the effects definitely don't look as good as they did in 240p back in 2007 when he was making all these edits):

This is an all out crazy edit, blows my mind. Cool to see fan cuts from back in the day.
Yea, shame with all the behind the scenes politics bs. Always wondered how Donner would've filmed this scene for real - I'd like to believe the script would've been revised since it's from early audition footage.
Been musing about a superman sequel fan edit for quite some time, but can never make a decision about these particular scenes. Piquing my interest again after finding this thread. I hate the pink bear rug with a passion of 100 Krypton suns, but do concede it's well-acted schmaltz (basically a template for the CW DC shows). Seems most people here prefer gun slingin' Lois heathen3017Well-known memberMessages248Reaction score41Trophy Points43May 2, 2021#13Bobson Dugnutt said:

Just curious... which is it? You mention above that this release will not have any East Idaho antics, but yet you add a scene with East Idaho Sheriff. Then you further go on to describe that the iTunes Extended Donner cut includes East Idaho antics and you list that as a source, yet you do not list them as having been removed.
Since it's an extended Donnor Cut, I hope that the East Idaho antics can be left in, especially in light of the added Sheriff scene. bionicbobWell-known memberDonorFaneditorMessages8,110Reaction score2,085Trophy Points168May 3, 2021#14Question.... when you use an Upscaler, can it clean up dirt and scratches from a deleted scene, or do those just become even more emphasized?

This is alright in concept, but the excecution here obviously isn't perfect. The Lois shots aren't bad but the compositing isn't great these days.

Apparently Avisynth can clean them up but I've tried many times to get the program to work and its never worked

The "official Extended Donner Cut" includes their rampage through the town, the arm wrestling and killing the kid on the horse and all that.

The most widely available version of the Donner Cut feels incredibly barebones to me- lacking many great character moments and scenes that Donner shot for Superman II. The Vudu/iTunes/Amazon Video Cut restores some of these scenes, but still doesn't go far enough in my eye in making the Donner Cut feel like a proper complete movie, and not just a workprint/assembly cut. Bobson seems to be doing this- attempting to create the most polished (and longest) version of Donner's SII that can be made. 12Next1 of 2Go to pageGoNext LastYou must log in or register to reply here.Share:FacebookTwitterRedditPinterestTumblrWhatsAppEmailShareLinkFanedit DiscussionsFanedits - Fixes, Mixes & TVContact usTerms and rulesPrivacy policyHelpHomeRSSCommunity platform by XenForo 2010-2022 XenForo Ltd.Fanedit.org was originally created and run by boon23
