I’ve got two more little gems to post from my cache of deleted scenes from Superman: The Movie. The first is a really nice little piece featuring Jimmy Olsen (Marc McClure) as he emulates Perry White while speaking to a coworker. Jimmy apparently has some authority over this guy. He is promptly humiliated when Perry asks him for some coffee. Jimmy shrugs it off and delegates the coffee request to the coworker. It’s a funny little piece and you do get to see Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder shuttle out of the office after Perry White has given his, ”What are you standing around for? MOVE!” speech.


The second deleted scene is a short piece lopped off after Lex Luthor is given his robe by Otis while still standing in the pool. In the theatrical cut, the scene ends with Otis looking down and grunting as he realizes his mistake. This scene continues as Otis belts out apology after apology and attempts to ring the water out of the robe as Luthor exits the pool.
