Superman 1 and 2 (double bill)

[SuperSnooper]

First of all apologies for anyone who looked at this thread thinking it was a double bill screening of the movies.

Bit of pointless, obscure memory anecdote;

It may be my childhood memory telling me this, but I'm certain that when Superman 1 and 2 was shown as a double bill in cinemas in 1981, at the end of Superman 1 when Reeve does his trademark fly past before the credits another credit (in the Superman style) appeared stating "Hold Tight In Your Seats (Folks) For Superman II After A Short Intermission."

I only recall this because my dad read it out as the lights went out for the intermission.

There's no way I could ever know this for sure unless I could get my hands on the double bill prints. (one day I will, one day.....)

But then, I still swear that I saw a scene in Superman where Jor-el explains the significance of the 'S' symbol, even though extensive research shows that he didn't.

I saw the films as a double bill several times in Australia, and the "hold tight" credit never appeared.

Did the prints in Australian cinemas have the scene where the boy is killed on the horse?

Thanks for that, will take your word for it. As I said, I always remember my dad saying that and watching the fly by it always stuck with me that memory.
