10 Incredible Movie Scenes You Never Got To See

10. Worldwide Destructionn By Zod And His Pals In Superman II

Richard Donner was booted from the director's chair while filming Superman II over tensions between himself and the studio. When that happened, about three-quarters of the film had already made it to print, but 25% of a movie is still a pretty big chunk of content to be filmed.

Richard Lester was brought in by the studio to finish work on the movie, but he didn't agree with some of the choices his predecessor made. Fortunately, for fans of Donner's work, 2006 saw the release of Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, but even that didn't add everything Donner intended.

That cut was considerably different than the one that hit theaters because the only way Lester could get full credit for directing Superman II was if he shot 50% of the movie. This meant that he had to reshoot and reimagine several scenes that were already finished, but it also meant scrapping some of Donner's ideas.

One of the scenes that Lester decided not to film involved Zod, Non, and Ursa spreading destruction across the planet. Originally, this was planned as a montage of destruction targeting the world's most famous and beloved monuments, but Lester killed the idea, so it wasn't filmed.
