    Re: Major flaws in upcoming Superman DVD releases

    Stormy, thanks man. What the **** were they doing.

    ----------------------

    Further Details:
    Those of you who have pre-ordered copies of Warner Home Video's forthcoming Superman: Ultimate Collector's Edition might want to think twice. Due to a massive technical blunder, the Superman III: Deluxe Edition discs contain the original 2001 release of the film, rather than the advertised disc with commentary, additional scenes and a vintage featurette.

    Reports indicate that The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection and the individual release of Superman III: Deluxe Edition are unaffected. At this time there has been no word on whether or not Warner intend to issue replacement discs. Even if replacement discs are made available, non-US residents who purchased the set will most likely be left out in the cold. When you combine this with the fact that the advertised original 1978 Dolby Stereo soundtrack for Superman: The Movie is also missing, what could have been the year's best release becomes a less than attractive proposition...

      sorry, not understanding the issue...
      I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...

        The superman 3 in the set is the one thats already out. Not the new version with all the extra features.

            The good news is, nobody in their right mind would ever want to watch Superman III in the first place.

              LOL. I like Superman III pretty good, Pryor is funny and it has some other cool parts in it, but at least the mistake is with that film instead of Returns or the first or second movie. I hope WB offers replacement discs like Universal did when they screwed up the Back to the Future disc. I'm still pumped for the set, can't wait to watch it.

                I still want to see it again, regardless that many don't like it.

                  The point is it doesn't matter if you like 3 or not you should get what is advertised in the set. What's frustrating is that Superman III is proper in the individual release of the film and in the Christopher Reeve collection. I may bring it to the attention of the store I am getting it from and ask that the individual release of 3 be included if they want the sale of the 14 disc Ultimate collection, unlikely I know but it's worth a shot. I just wish Warner Brothers would address the situation and say how they will fix the problem because this will hurt sales no doubt.

                      Agreed, I own 1 and 2 on DVD already, 3 and 4 were awful and would never want to see them again. I've read reviews on the Donner cut for part 2, and it sounds cool, but I don't feel like watching rough footage and the same ending from part 1 all over again. If the movie was filmed, then that would be one thing, but it wasn't, so stand in's are used for some of the scenes. Forget that.

                        I dont like it. Then again I hate all things Superman so I'm kinda biased.

                            He probably has the same complaint that I have (if he also hates the comics iteration) and that is the whole "Superman as God" mystique that they've saddled the character with.

                              That's why he is Superman.
