Obtained in person by me at various conventions - Helen Slater was a rare treat and was very sweet and quite shy. Margot Kidder was fantastic and very funny. Sarah Douglas was bolshy and fabulous while Jack O' Halloran was a gentle giant. So privileged to have met some of the performers that made this Movie series so great...
More from the Tornado scene from Superman IV: The Quest For Peace - From the top, the last of the special set-taken prints and above, scarce unpublished publicity B&W's. Note Christopher Reeve's daughter Alexandra harnessed in mid-air for the rescue...
More rare set-taken stills from the Hertfordshire location of Superman IV in 1986. Note director Sidney J. Furie (top picture, second from right) and Christopher Reeve's boot preserving loafers for rehearsal. This entire scene (featuring both Reeve children) was present in the UK theatrical and VHS release but absent from the US theatrical and DVD offerings until returning in grainy footage on the Superman IV: Deluxe Edition DVD. From my collection...
With her husky voice and sassy attitude, it was a pleasure to finally see how Canadian Margot beat the competition to win the part of Lois Lane as seen in the screen tests of Superman: The Movie Special Edition on DVD. From the top, Lundi Magazine poster, Lundi Pinup, Japanese pinup, European Article and UK Clipping. You've got me - who's got you...
Aquired from the Propstore Of London some years ago and easily some of the favourite pieces of my collection. I often wear the Stunt Team jacket to conventions and such and always get good notices. Margot Kidder even asked if I had worked on the picture (I would have been 15 at the time). The jacket is clearly visible in some behind the scenes footage from a TV special hosted by Johnny Ball during the excised Nuclearman 1 battle, see it here;
As seen in 'The Making Of Superman II' This elaborate, hand made and intricately detailed scale model was built to accomodate the visual effects shots of the devestation caused by the Super-Villians throughout the Metropolis battle such as cars being slammed into buildings by the power of 'Super-Breath'.
The Woughton Campus of The Sir Frank Markham Comprehensive School in Milton Keynes, UK. doubled for the 'Metropolis JFK High School' In exterior scenes only recently restored for the Superman IV; The Quest For Peace Deluxe Edition on DVD. From the Top - Japanese news article, UK Sky magazine piece and another unique on-set still taken during filming. Suspended from piano wire at least fifty feet in the air is Christopher Reeve himself.
Even though the original set from Superman; the Movie was still standing in Canada, The Kent Farm was recreated in considerable detail in the village of Baldock, Hertfordshire, England for the opening scenes of Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. This set was apparently also left standing until the mid-2000's before apparently being taken down, though this is not confirmed. Despite the above images appearing on other Super-Websites, these original on-set 5x7 prints are from a collection taken by a crew member and passed on to me - more incredible pictures to follow in future updates!! 
The Christopher Reeve waxwork was displayed solo in the exit stairwell of Tussauds for many years. It was originally adorned with a genuine production made costume with the exception of a lightweight cape to accommodate a rippling effect (generated by a fan placed beneath) before being moved to the 'Movie Room' and stripped of the real suit where it resides today in an inferior poor quality copy (bottom pic). 
A nostalgic collection from the pages of much-missed 'Famous Monsters In Filmland' magazine. Despite the plethora of amazing items on offer, only a small fraction of pieces shown above would be made available in Europe. Decades later and thanks to collectors fairs and auction sites much of these offerings are still around but becoming more rare as the years go by with the incredible Jim Dietz Portfolio of paintings and the Mego action figures still among the most coveted...
Now that at long last the rights are seemingly in place to licence new Superman merchandise based strictly on the Movies (as evidenced by Mattel's new collector line) the pictures above show its humble beginnings. From the top - German magazine ad, Boxed and loose 12" 'World's Greatest Super-Heroes!' Superman figure and the 'Pocket Super-Heroes' action figure. Though Christopher Reeve is clearly shown in the campaign, Mego's licence was restricted to using the comic-book interpretations of the costumes...
