Superman III Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Superman III!

Before it was even popular to make an obscene number of superhero movie sequels with declining quality- Warner Bros was trailblazing with multiple Superman movies!

Superman 3 definitely raises some questions, like why is Superman competing for screentime with this Gus Gorman guy so much? How is Gus so good at computers? What are 1980s computers capable of, exactly? DID SUPERMAN JUST FLICK A PEANUT?!

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Superman III.

My uncle once said that he believed that this movie was written by a sentient bag of cocaine. I can see why now. 😂

There's one unironically great scene in this movie:

The boss discussing how the thief won't slip up, "He'll keep a low profile. He won't do a thing to call attention to himself. Unless he is a complete and utter moron."

*Ferrari tires screech in parking lot*

Wait... So Superman Bully Maguire'd before Bully Maguire Bully Maguire'd?

Tight!

Thank you for acknowledging my childhood nightmares from those silver eyes.

[eugeneoisten]

Yeah because dropping a lake sized block of ice from a few 100 feet in the air will absolutely not damage that industrial complex...😏

Dude... i had forgotten about that robotic nightmare thing until today.... it literally freaked me out as a kid. Wild.

They couldn't afford Gene Hackman at all, they could only afford about an hour's work for Margot Kidder, and they could only afford Christopher Reeve for 16 hours of work, total. So we got this movie instead.

We should start a support group for adults who were traumatized by the robot scene as a child.

[Ladykyra]

5:27....Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! All the nightmares!

Yep. As a child, I have a scant memory of this Richard Pryor movie, but that ROBOT thing. Forever seared into my cerebral cortex. 🫣

Thanks, Writer/Producer guys. 😭😳😭

The traffic light guys fighting thanks to computer stuff broke me

[THESocialJusticeWarrior]

This movie teaches a very important lesson: If you are embezzling money from your employer, don't show up to work in a Ferrari.

[BagelsGirl]

As a former child of the 80s, Watership Down, The Secret of Nymh, and the cartoon version of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe had all already scarred me, so yeah.

[bitofalice]

Computers seem super impressive! I can't wait to get my hands on one!

[sebastiantrias]

Best idea, a Richard Pryor movie, with Superman as a Supporting character.

[EthelJung-jw]

I remember barely anything from Superman 3 but I do remember that damn freaky robot woman. I’m 45 😆 🤦🏻‍♂

[strawbarry]

Superman III walked so that Superman IV could crawl.

[BatmanFan]

Well, all that’s left is Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Which should be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I was one of the children who had nightmares about that scene, but until now, I never knew there were others! Thank you!

[danmelvin]

I saw this in the theaters when I was like 5. When the computer created "brainiac" from the woman, it scarred me for a long time. Like chronic nightmares.

"Why not just breathe his ice breath on the thing that needs to stay cool."

Bruh, I've been saying that since I was FOUR YEARS OLD... also, I probably shouldn't have watched this movie at 4 years old...
