Sacha

Continuity mistake: After Clark reads the 'Drop Dead' cover, he stands up and walks down the newsroom, all puzzled. The number of people and their positions has no continuity at all between shots.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: The same man next to Lois on the train is standing on the platform a second later.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: After the "Drop dead" cover, Jimmy Olsen talks to Lois. In the close-up of Lois while she says "He looks like my father," the journalist behind her is standing up. An instant cut later, he is seated.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Nuclear Man steals the Statue of Liberty, its pedestal looks normal. When Superman puts it back in place, the pedestal is missing a huge chunk (surely because of some FX going wrong). In further shots, it's fixed.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Superman leaves Lenny at the school, a group of kids gather around the gate. On the far right there's one with a red hat, an Afro-American boy with a football, and one with a jacket who grabs the gate. A shot later these last two have vanished but can be seen in the background, metres behind. When the priest exits, half a second later, half a dozen more boys have appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Perry White dismisses Warfield, a woman in yellow walks towards the escalators. A shot later, the escalators are empty, and she is walking towards them again.

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: When Superman and Nuclear Man fall down the building, their capes remain stuck to their backs, defying the laws of gravity, and thus revealing that the scene was shot with them standing up and then turning the camera around.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Moscow's Red Square scene begins, the tanks and soldiers parade in front of the authorities (a combination of matte painting and a real set). When Superman arrives, a second tree has appeared next to the one on the left. On the right side, an unfinished painting has replaced the previous huge wall, trees, and decor. (International theatrical, TV, and LaserDisc releases).

Sacha ★

Visible crew/equipment: When Superman saves the day in Moscow, the edge of the set and the backlot behind can be seen on the sides of the wall where the politicians stand. One can even see the set's scaffolding on the right. (International theatrical, TV and LaserDisc releases.)

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: Before Nuclear Man finds the newspaper with Lacy's photo, he is at Lex's lair kneeling down, then starts to fly. Big clouds of smoke come out of his wrists, but an instant cut later in the close-up, the smoke is gone.

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: Many shots of Nuclear Man flying are reused throughout the movie.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: Lenny tells the prison guards they can check his sound system, and the guard on the back grabs the shotgun with his left hand. Shot changes, and the shotgun is back in his right hand, and he is repeating all previous movements.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: Luthor and Lenny drive past a red and white truck and a Maglite billboard. A shot later, they drive past them again.

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: When Clark receives Lex's signal, he rushes out of the room where Lois and Lacy are. First, he crouches behind a couch and disappears. Then the camera pans to the right, and now he's Superman. Problem is, one can still see Clark's stand-in crouching behind the couch, revealing how the trick was achieved.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: At the hotel room, when Superman rushes and leaves, Lois runs towards the window. A shot later, she is gone, only to reappear an instant cut later.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Superman and Lois end their flight, her legs are stretched down, about to land on the ground. An instant cut later, they're bent, and she is lowering her legs again.

Sacha ★

Other mistake: Nuclear and Lacy are floating in space, not moving at all, but their hair moves strongly as if in an earthly breeze.

Sacha ★

Revealing mistake: After Superman sets the Statue back in place, he lands on the ground and the wall behind wobbles, revealing where the movie was retouched to hide the wires.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Nuclear Man steals the Statue of Liberty, its color keeps swapping between blue and green all the time.

Sacha ★

Continuity mistake: When Lois drives to the UN Lacy is not in the car. Half a second later she appears inside.
