Sex & Nudity
-
- Young Superman (3 years old or so) is shown completely nude from the front for a few seconds.
Violence & Gore
-
- There are a lot of action sequences involving hand-to-hand fighting, thrown objects, firearms, rockets, and even a flamethrower. Much of this is fantasy violence involving super powers.
- We see clearly-fake blood in a fistfight scene. Despite the fakery, this remains a scene of one man beating another bloody.
- Astronauts are killed by asphyxiation due to purposeful damage to their space suits.
Profanity
-
- "Son of a bitch", "Damn", "Hell", "Jesus H. Christ", "God"
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Perry White & Lex Luthor smoke. There are no drugs involved.
- Superman and Lois drink a glass of champagne in a brief scene.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- In the recap of the first film shown at the beginning of this one, we see the drowning scene where Superman is being dragged below the surface of a canal by a "necklace" made from a towing chain and a chunk of kryptonite.
- Another scene that may frighten younger viewers is the main fight sequence between Superman, Zod, Ursula, and Non.
- We also see a few military battles where the US government attempts to stop the three evil Kryptonians.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Lois fires a revolver at Superman in his Clark Kent guise to force him to acknowledge his true nature to her.
- A man fires a shotgun at himself at point-blank range. The man is from Krypton, so he is not hurt.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- In this Donner cut of the movie, Zod is shown briefly using a gun to kill people. (This was not the case in the Lester cut.)
- In a scene, Superman's father, Jor-El, appears in the Fortress of Solitude when Superman returns in a desperate bid to restore his powers. Jor-El manages to do so by sacrificing the last of his energy to reignite Clark's powers with a final farewell. However, this virtual second death of Superman's father is undone when Superman reverses time to undo all the events from his initial mistake
