JohnHOST
Superman 2.
JohnHOST
Blowout, which is a great Brian De Palma film, which I have that I keep meaning to force you to watch.
JohnHOST
Of course, the comedy classic Stripes.
Perry ConstantineGUEST
This version...
Perry ConstantineGUEST
One of the things I really liked about Superman II, one of my favorite scenes in that movie is when... after Zod has taken over the world, he's taken over the White House and, you know, the president has surrendered and everything.
Perry ConstantineGUEST
And then Ursa says to him, he's like, you are master of all you survey.
Perry ConstantineGUEST
And he's just bored with the ideas.
JoeHOST
Yeah.
JoeHOST
Then he does Superman 2.
JoeHOST
He does this movie called Inside Moves, which Paul really likes.
JoeHOST
Hey, what's
DeniseHOST
That is the key to aging beautifully.
DeniseHOST
And finally, David Cornsweat, on filming Superman II, Man of Tomorrow, says, It's sort of like coming back to summer camp.

Our next section is Star Tracks.
JeremiahGUEST
This...
JeremiahGUEST
I wonder if in this scene are they aping Superman 2 where he gets up, is at his powers, he gets beat up by the guy in the diner, and then at the end of the movie he has his powers back and goes back to the diner.
JeremiahGUEST
Are they doing a little play on that here? Could be, yeah.
JeremiahGUEST
That's what crossed my mind anyway.
Joe RussoGUEST
Yeah.
Joe RussoGUEST
Yes, I'm Superman 2-ing Mad Max.
Joe RussoGUEST
Taking the power.
Joe RussoGUEST
It's his favorite movie.
JohnHOST
That was Strother Martin.
JohnHOST
James kept right on going for decades, racking up roles in movies like Silver Streak, Superman II, and The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training, as well as plenty of TV guest appearances, and he was still doing cameos as late as The Untouchables and Eight Men Out, as well as The Bonfire of the Vanities and Lone Star.
JohnHOST
That's the contemporary western from the 1990s, not the Spaceballs character.
JohnHOST
He retired in 2006 and passed away in 2017 at the age of 96.
Jeremy MarshallHOST
I think this is the first time I ever saw him in something.
Jeremy MarshallHOST
Like I hadn't seen like Superman 2 or I guess I'd seen him in Phantom Menace, but I didn't know that was him.
Jeremy MarshallHOST
But yeah, love the man.
Lucia Bellinger-KoskiGUEST
R.I.P.
Brad GilmoreGUEST
So, I mean, it's wildly different than the Back to the Future 2 that we ended up getting.
Brad GilmoreGUEST
And then the studio said, you've got too much story here, and they ended up splitting it into the two movies and filmed them back-to-back like they did Superman, Superman 2, or Three Musketeers and Four Musketeers.
Brad GilmoreGUEST
And so, yeah, they were going to go to the 1960s, and they'd have to bust Marty out of jail.
Chris GoreHOST
what were some of the other ideas that were discarded for Back to the Future or the sequels?
