SUPERMAN'S TOUGHEST (AND WACKIEST) ADVENTURE YET!! Superman III Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects - Download the PrizePicks today at https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/REJECTS & use code REJECTS to get $50 instantly when you play $5! Andrew & Tara keep their SUPERMAN MARATHON rolling down the road to James Gunn's Superman giving Superman III Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they revisit the 1983 superhero romp Superman III, where Clark Kent / Superman (Christopher Reeve, Somewhere in Time, Superman II) faces his most unusual adversary yet—computer whiz Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor, Stir Crazy, Brewster’s Millions). When small‐town tech genius Gus lands a gig with sinister oil baron Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Bullitt), he’s duped into synthesizing Kryptonite, creating an evil doppelgänger of the Man of Steel who rampages through Smallville in one of the film’s most searched‐for scenes. Meanwhile, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder, The Amityville Horror, Black Christmas) juggles her investigative instincts with her growing suspicions about Superman’s strange new behavior. Rounding out the cast are Annette O’Toole as Ross’s calculating wife Vera Webster (noted for 3:10 to Yuma and later TV’s Superman & Lois), Pamela Stephenson as socialite Lacy Warfield (comedian from Not The Nine O’Clock News), and Jackie Cooper as Daily Planet editor Perry White (the original Pete & Gladys), plus Marc McClure returning as the ever‐awed Jimmy Olsen (Superman, Superman II). Andrew & Tara break down every standout moment—from Gus’s frantic Kryptonite heist in the Arctic and the iconic “Evil Superman” fight in a Glendale parking garage to the hilariously over‐the‐top spoof of technology run amok at Ross’s private plane hangar. Don’t miss their take on the unforgettable sequence where Superman’s alter ego lounges in Smallville’s diner, the cheeky “cloning” of Superman by synthetic Kryptonite, and the climactic rooftop showdown that forces Clark to reclaim his true heroism. #SupermanIII #ChristopherReeve #MargotKidder #RichardPryor #RobertVaughn #AnnetteOToole #EvilSuperman #KryptoniteScene #1980sMovies #SuperheroMovie #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #AndrewGordon #TaraErickson #Reaction #React #ReactTo #Movie #Movies Superman IV (1987) Reaction: https://youtu.be/nVjd7mwnqQs Superman: The Movie (1978) Reaction: https://youtu.be/EFyjAznzrSo Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (1980) Reaction: https://youtu.be/5Em7TuEs6gI Jurassic Park (1993) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/-GRXgTk-kq0 Superman: Unbound (2013) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/CUPTekc77lg Superman: The Movie (1978) Coy's Reaction & Breakdown: https://youtu.be/mlubceOmcz0 0:00 Checking In! 2:07 Superman III Reaction 25:24 PRIZE PICKS 26:44 Superman 3 Movie Reaction 1:02:37 Superman 3 Review 1:25:21Patron of the Day SHOUT OUT!

I really wish that super computer was the main villain instead of that Lex Luthor knock-off. Also, that "turned into a robot" scene is pretty horrifying.

Basically. any child of the 80's or 90's who saw this as a kid was traumatised by the bit where Vera turns into a robot. When her eyes turn silver it's horrifying.

The super computer 🖥 was supposed to be a backdoor Braniac. Vera's transformation is still nightmares fuel for days.

OMG that scene where the lady gets turned into a zombie robot thing traumatized me more as a child than any Jason or Freddy movie ever did!

The whole gag of Superman straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and then putting it back the way it was, that was originally written for Superman II.

51:11 that sound effect is later used in Batman 89 when the joker uses his buzzer to shake hands with the guy he basically roasts.

Gus Gorman accidentally invented AI code generation. And Ross Webster accidentally presaged Lex Luthor's post-Crisis characterization.

The Bizarro Superman is definitely my favorite scene especially when he fights himself.
