Funny / Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Go To

  • When Superman and Nuclear Man are falling, Superman pushes him away, causing him to let out a grunt and fall diagonally with videogame-like special effects.
  • This quip from Lenny is so stupid that it comes back around to funny:
    Lex: Do you know what I could do with just a single strand of Superman's hair?
    Lenny: You can make a toupee that flies!
  • Nuclear Man spins Lenny around really fast.
    Nuclear Man: I am an experiment? I am a freako?
    Lenny: Woah-oh! Hey man, I was just kidding about that "freako" line! Oh-ho, wow!
  • That perfect "...you're shitting me" look on Superman's face when he sees Nuclear Man taking off into downtown Manhattan with the Statue of Liberty in tow.
  • After Superman drops him in a boys' home, Lenny asks if they have drums.
  • The jailbirds mockingly start whistling "Ein Kleine Nachtmusik" to Lex when Superman drops him back to prison. An annoyed Lex screams at them to shut up.
    Con: Hey, everybody, Mozart's back!
  • Meta: Actor Mark Pillow recounts that he attended the film premiere in London in full Nuclear Man costume at the request of the movie's producers, who were expecting Christopher Reeve to do the same for the sake of publicity. Reeve, being well aware that he wasn't obligated to do so, noped out on them and skipped the premiere entirely, so Pillow got to stick out like a sore thumb in his goofy spandex outfit for the entire event... which included meeting Prince Charles and Lady Diana, who were also in attendance (and yes, there are pictures).
