San Diego, Chemistry Dept. Administration Lines: 24 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?

A women in the crowd says "What a nice man! Of course he's Jewish!"
