Well…. CGI humans I don’t think really came about until around/after Jurassic Park/Terminator 2…. I think what I miss most is how Donner would have made Zod’s speech atop the Washington monument a memorable epic one… rather than the downsized small scale speech in Houston. How was Zod supposed to stand atop the Washington monument? The top is pointy not a flat surface. Also no one would be able to even SEE Zod at that height. Maybe Lester realized this? He could have thought: not enough items to make fun of with this scene, so let's rewrite it to make it HILARIOUS in East Houston!!! (sarcasm alert)

They could have dubbed a line of Ron saying "we only have coke". Also Lois wasn't ordering a healthy meal. A cheeseburger with EVERYTHING on it and an order of fries. That side salad doesn't make it suddenly healthy. You gotta remember bud...... The diner scene as filmed by Donner was originally intended to be appended to that raunchy sex scene at the fortress that Mank wrote (pretty much in the same clumsy manner that he instilled in the James Bond flicks):
So Lois was knackered after all that carnal activity...hence the cheeseburger and coke! Perhaps Ron could have inquired if Lois’s excessive food order was due to recent carnal activity on her part? Seems like a perfectly reasonable question that he could have asked her. Otherwise why should he force Annie to make all that food?
