This review contains examples of:
- Call-Back: The excessive amount of pratfalls at the beginning of Superman III causes the "wah wah" machine to explode. The "wah wah" after corny jokes was first used in the Power Rangers review.
- Driven to Suicide: "...I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I'm gonna go kill myself."
- Guyliner: ...and that's all that anyone remembers. It was because he had just finished filming "Melvin, Brother of the Joker."
- Made Myself Sad: At the end, Critic realizes to his horror how badly things went for the Superman actors after the movies ended.Critic: For all the bad times, the Superman movies really do manage to put me a good mood, like seeing Christopher Reeve right before he had that tragic accident and... died... or Margot Kidder right before she went mentally insane... or the shots of New York with the World Trade Center... in the... background...
- Subverted Catchphrase: "I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I'm gonna go kill myself."
