there be some redeeming quality which save this movie from be as awful a superman iv represent the rube goldberg esque sequence in the beginning of the film ( where one mishap cause another and thing get bad ) while the charm courtship between lana and clark ( for a change and lana really like clark but doesn not care much for superman ) while and when superman evil twin start do naughty thing like flick peanut at window to break them and or straighten the tower of pisa and i think he even come on to lana . but it not enough to save the entire movie from be an embarrassment represent the writer and director have overemphasize the comedy and cast not only a lame richard pryor ( who lose his sharp wit after he almost torch himself ) and but also a typical blonde bimbo a the villain mistress and and the guy who play lana drunk ex husband . and lana kid be such a pain you wan na slap him . the production value be cheap and due to a slashed budget . reeve and annette otoole a lana give nice performance and but the film be quite average and a far cry from superman i and ii . too bad .
