Mistakes

Nuclear Man lands in Metropolis and the cab driver on the left swaps several times from having his arm inside the car in the wide angles, to outside the cab's window in the close-ups. See more...

Trivia

Near the end of the film, Superman gives a press conference in front of a bluish mirror-glass building which is meant to be the Daily Planet skyscraper in Metropolis (which we all know is New York, sort of). The shot is framed so you can only see the bottom of the building - necessary as it is only about 3 floors high, and is in fact the railway station in Milton keynes, England, about 400 yards from where I work. Even the crowd have a vaguely British look about them - presumably passers-by were recruited and stood there in their own clothes (this would matter less now - Brits look more American than they did in the Eighties).

Mistake Factual error: When Superman addresses the UN, the delegate presumably representing the United Kingdom appears behind an "England" sign - "England" is not an international entity represented at the UN, while the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When NuclearMan enters the building after being told he would be taken to Lacy, he flys upward through different floors. As he's doing this you can see support wires attached.

Mistake Continuity: When the volcano erupts, there's suddenly a lot more snow on the crater.

Mistake Revealing: Nuclear Man is shown blowing up the Great wall twice, but it's the same shot reversed.

Mistake Continuity: When in the subway, Superman is standing by a 6 foot poster of the Statue of Liberty. When the shot changes to a flying Superman, he is a third of his size and the poster is huge.

Mistake Continuity: In a split second, all of the snow on the mountain cut by Superman disappears.

Mistake Continuity: When the statue of Liberty is about to crash on the street, a close shot is seen of jammed cars and hysterical people. When the shot changes to Superman flying to the rescue, the jam, the cops and the people have disappeared, and all is nice and quiet in Metropolis.

Mistake Revealing: The rock that hits the prop-astronaut blows his head off. Seconds later the head is back in place.

Mistake Factual error: If the Russian cosmonauts need special suits to survive out to space, so does Lacey when she is taken by Nuclear Man.

Mistake Continuity: The cab's hood, crumpled by Nuclear Man's power beam, magically smoothes itself a frame later.

Mistake Continuity: Nuclear Man lands on a street surrounded by skyscrapers. In the following shots where he destroys everything, the right side of the street is the same, but the left side is totally different: small houses, sunnier, signs on the walls.

Mistake Continuity: Two firemen are seen away from their truck, but when the angle changes six firemen have appeared seemingly from nowhere.

Mistake Continuity: The bundle that Superman makes to destroy the weapons changes to a tenth of its size in about a second.

Mistake Continuity: Nuclear Man dents the floor with his footsteps, but in a wider angle the floor is intact.

Mistake Continuity: When Superman and Nuclear Man fight on the balcony the high powered binoculars disappear.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the quarry, when the cops' car flies up the air you can see the ramp used to lift it on the lower left side of the screen.

Mistake Revealing: When Clark Kent enters the subway, the set is the same as the rampage later in the film; only that the second time we see this set, the subway entrance has vanished.

Mistake Continuity: During the volcano eruption the animal on the right (goat or sheep, I don't know) keeps changing from brown colour to white.

Mistake Continuity: When Lacy is about to enter the elevator, a light brown rug has appeared on the floor behind, which disappears in the next wide shots.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": The same front shot of Superman flying is used over and over and over again.
