Visible crew/equipment: When Selena visits the school, there's a tube reflected on her window. When her car starts to move we see it's part of an umbrella-like structure used for lighting.

9.7/10. Hands down the best super heroine movie ever made. I know it's been torn to shreds by many but I disagree. Helen Slater possesses a charm that makes you love her instantly. It's good without needing Superman, a superhero origin doesn't need its big brother necessarily. Supergirl was the first and best super heroine movies still. I think it should be viewed more favorably, like a back up quarterback. She's still good in her own right. Go and watch this with an open mind. Helen Slater is one of several unfairly overlooked actresses of the 80's.

Answer: It's never explained, she could have changed at super speed. In Superman II, when confronted by the super criminals at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman did a disappearing and reappearing act. So did the criminals. It might be a similar thing.
