I had a clear goal when editing Superman III, rid the film of a majority of its poor jokes, maintain seriousness, and most importantly, restore verisimilitude. I couldn't just completely remove comedy from the film because there'd be no movie left. I had to find the perfect level of comedic elements and seriousness in order to balance to film into, what I believe to be, a better finished product.

CHANGELOG:

• Added completely new main title sequence with new music mix taken from various parts of Ken Thorne's score

• Cut original title sequence featured in the theatrical cut

• Cut scene of Gus impressing his computing teacher

• Fixed strange edit of Clark talking over scene change after Superman saves Ricky

• Cut Gus needing to get Brad's help to turn computer keys simultaneously

• Cut "unfunny" scene during montage of husband reading bill and shoving his wife's face into an orange (like wtf?)

• Cut infamous shots of street crossing lights fighting

• Created a brand-new sequence of Superman stopping the tornado in Colombia, using shots from later in the film and a few reused shots from Superman II, with new sound mix

• Edited scene of Gus describing Superman saving Colombia, with the previous scene being added I needed to re-edit Gus's story so a few lines are cut and a few shots are changed

• Cut infamous scene of Gus falling off skyscraper and surviving

• Cut-down much of Gus's speech during Superman's day in Smallville

• Cut brief scene of shopkeeper and janitor before Superman adjusts the Tower of Pisa

• Added VFX of Superman heating up acid with his heat vision

• Cut shot of Vera turned back to normal in computer wreckage

• Fixed coloring on end credits titles
