ORIGINAL: Kazuya Superman IV is a guilty pleasure of mine Supes battling Blonde-Mullet-Dude in shoddy fx-land, it's so bad it's good. I love the round the world battle, where it happens to be daylight on 3 different continents at the same time Best piece of shoddy fx has to be when they fight in space and its an overhead shot, and its clearly just them standing on shiny black plastic with white bits for stars, you can even see them reflected in it, brilliance Yeah that's an awesome shot, fucking hilarious I'm gonna have to get it on Blu if it's ever released, should make the crap effects extravaganza even more pronounced I did a study of the film recently at my local film club and we looked specifically at the sequels and just how bad the entire 'feel' of the fourth film became, from the cast looking utterly frozen in Milton Keynes to the way way below SFX but as I say it's no great suprise of your budget is slashed weeks before release and the SFX have to be dropped from a great height ! Yeah, it really is a quite startling drop in quality, but as you say, there is not much to do if you get stabbed in the back like Reeve did, I would have loved to have seen the film made with a reasonable budget, not the equivalent of what it costs to shoot an episode of Friends. Reeve really must've felt like shit when it was released, what a pity, because he still looked good, was still more than able to handle the role.
