DUDE?! the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2

Sorry about that. This was the first time I've seen it. I remembered a thread about this in the past, but I just recently talked about it with a friend which made me want to watch it. When I searched the thread I didn't look at the date of the OP.

The only thing I didn't like was the re-use of the flying around the Earth backwards to turn back time again.

It happens that way because in Donner's original version of the first film, that didn't happen.

The Salkinds became paranoid that the first film would flop without a flashier ending, so they took control and made Donner change the end of the first film so that the intended ending of the second film (the turning back time) became the ending of the first one. A stupid move, among so many stupid moves, by the Salkinds.
