re: Anyone Seen Richard Donners Superman 2 Directors Cut?

It was a noble effort trying to finish his version of #2, but they were unable to give it a proper ending since the original plan was to use the ending of superman #1 as the ending of #2. Donner was rushed to finish the first movie, as they were filming 1 & 2 simultaneously, and he was forced by the producers to use the turning back time ending he was saving for #2. He originally wanted to have the rocket explode in space at the end of #1, releasing Zod, and setting up #2.
