      In fact, the strength of the witch has crushed the Superwoman from beginning to end. . .

      At the first meeting (the time when the telephone pole was connected), the Superwoman did not directly confront the witch, and the witch just used magic to summon a storm and made Superwoman tired of coping. In the end, the Superwoman used a telephone pole to catch the lightning and turned defeat. In fact, the witch did not use all her strength at all, even with the intention of teasing the Superwoman. However, the Superwoman tried her best, but was still suppressed by the witch.

      Recollecting childhood memories

      The plot is simple and full of loopholes, and many places are not connected. I saw this movie on TV when I was a child. The most impressive thing was that the Superwoman was thrown into a place, but after a lot of effort, she finally escaped.
      When I grew up, I wanted to watch it again, but I found it on VeryCD, but there were no Chinese subtitles. Fortunately, the plot is simple enough, and the English subtitles don't seem to be very laborious. Kara is of course the highlight of the film,...

    Movie plot

    The celestial measuring orb of the space Ago city was lost to the earth without filling it. At this time, the male Superman went out and did not return. The patriarch Zalta asked the young female Superman to look for it in the lower realm. Kara came to the earth under the pseudonym Linda Suo. After searching, she knew that the orb fell into the hands of the witch Selena, and the witch wanted to use the power of the orb to rule the...

    Piercing lens

    The tower crane hanging the female Superman once cast a shadow on the school building in the film.

    Filming process

    Filming of the film started on January 8, 1984, and the film’s opening prologue and subtitles were filmed at a cost of $1 million. During the 3 months of shooting, Helen Schlacter had to train for 3 hours a day, because she had to be hoisted from a 200-foot-tall tower crane to take flight shots. The town of Midwell in the movie was built on the open space in the backyard of the British Pinewood Studios. 85% of the entire film of...

    Evaluation action

    The story of the film "Superman" is naive, and the two-hour plot is empty, but Helen Schlacter, who plays the role of Superman, is obvious to all. Her performance is one of the few highlights of the film. The film’s beautiful soundtrack, coupled with the elegant performance of the female Superman, has saved a lot of face for this film.

    Movie quotes

    • Bianca: I think you're blowing this thing out of proportion if you want my opinion.

      Selena: No, this box is definitely getting bigger... And uglier.

      Bianca: All I'm saying is, you can't go nuts over a landscape guy and a teenager in a blue suit.

      Selena: She flies. Can you get that through your thick skull and into your tiny little brain, Bianca? The girl can fly.

    • Supergirl: I can't. I can't

      Zaltar: You can. On, girl.

    • Supergirl: Who are you?

      Selena: I am Selena, Diodenes of Catania, Priestess of Sekhnet. I am the Ultimate Siren of Endor. And you, little lady, are trespassing on private property.

      Selena: [points at Ethan] She means him.

      Supergirl: I am Kara of Argo City, daughter of Alura and Zor-El, and I don't scare easily.
