Movie Trivia # 036: Flashback Follies

Flashbacks are a real problem when you're going back from one film to another. A director has to be on his toes to make sure that that which is recalled is that which happened in the original. If not, someone is sure to catch it.

In Superman II (1980), the flashback of Jor-El's speech about the villains General Zod, Ursa, and Non is different than it was in the original. Anotehr flashback flub is that Superman's mother (Susannah York) places him in the earthbound capsule; his father (Marlon Brando) did in the original.
This and other Movie Trivia posts brought to you by Roman Soldiers Don't Wear Watches by Bill Givens.
