     The film as shown on television was not hacked up. Seven minutes were
     ADDED.(mostly in bits and pieces throughout the film). As I recall
     the fortress of solitude was not blown up in the theatrical
     version.  Superman II is my favorite special effects film and in
     my opinion surpasses Superman I. I myself have several other questions
     about the plot.
	
	1) Why does he have to lose his powers if he falls in love with a human?
	2) How did he get his powers back?
	3) Why is he hurt when the Kryptonian bad guys throw various objects
	   (particularly the bus) at him. If I recall my comic books correctly
	   these objects could only hurt him if they were made from Kryptonian
	   materials
        4) Why didnt Superman or some earthling think of defeating the bad guys
	   by exposing them to Kryptonite?

	P.S. I heard a line uttered in the background that I didnt catch
	in the theatre. When Superman rescues a boy that has fallen into
	Niagra Falls. A women in the crowd says "What a nice man! Of course
	he's Jewish!"
