Conceptual improvements/advancements of edit over original:
- Having watched Richard Donner’s Superman II I came to the conclusion that because of
the Screen Test Scene it made it impossible to make a flowing Edit based on Donner’s Cut.
Even though I would of like to have based my edit on Donner’s Cut & after repeated veiwings
coming to the conclusion that if Donner was allowed to finish his film it would have been better
than Lester’s I felt that to make a complete edit I would have to base my edit on Lester’s version.
