I'll buy it. It's been years since I've seen the extra scenes. I remember talking to people about the movie and how I loved seeing Superman go through Lex's gauntlet and them thinking I made it up. :lol
 
I thought this came out in a boxed set years ago...?

Box set has the 152 minute version with some scenes reincorporated into the move like the traps lex has set up in his lair but this new disc is apparently 180 minutes. So a lot more is added back into the movie. Needs more Chestmacher. Valerie Perrine was sexy in the Superman movies and her playboy spread was nice too
 
Miss Tessmacher........did a....Playboy spread? And I'm only learning of this in late 2017?

I uh....have to go google something now. For work.
 
I've seen the 'extra' version with the gauntlet, but seemingly not this 'extra, extra' version.

Isn't there a similarly super long TV cut of the DeLaurentiis Kong? Is that available anywhere?
 
Release date is October 3rd.

Decades before blockbuster Extended Cuts were common, Superman proved a true "Man of Tomorrow." Superman: The Movie received an ahead-of-its-time makeover for its television premiere - nearly 40 more minutes of story, creating a two-night television event. Audiences had already been swept off their feet by Christopher Reeve's Last Son of Krypton, and now there was more to enjoy. Unseen in decades, this version is paired here with Richard Donner's definitive vision of his film, the Special Edition Director's Cut (2000), to create a supersized celebration of Metropolis' favorite son that preserves the director's intent while feeding superfan demands.
 
Could have played Pa Kent in the upcoming reboot.
