VOICE (CONT'D) Recoil in horror at the return of mentally unstable actress Margot Kidder, as she struggles to play Lois Lane. VOICE (CONT'D) Yeesh.... VOICE (CONT'D) And Gene Hackman returning as Lex Luthor, an evil genius who can't pronounce the word nuclear. VOICE (CONT'D) The quest for peace begins when this dumb, overdubbed, kid... VOICE (CONT'D) ...guilts Superman into collecting all of the world's nuclear weapons ... that he'll stuff into this big net ... and throw into the sun ... Which somehow the U.N. is totally cool with. VOICE (CONT'D) Confused? Just wait! We're only getting started! VOICE (CONT'D) Watch as Lex and Duckie from Pretty in Pink VOICE (CONT'D) Easily cut Superman's indestructible hair... Cut hair from museum. VOICE (CONT'D) Strap it onto a missile... Stupid box on the missle VOICE (CONT'D) And launch it into the sun - to inexplicably create NUCLEAR MAN! VOICE (CONT'D) Behold the super site of two grown men in spandex, going toe-to-toe in some of the most poorly-executed sissy fights ever put to celluloid... VOICE (CONT'D) Wow.... This is bad...
