  • While this film is rightly considered to be a flop with poor effects and clunky dialogue, the scene where Clark meets with Mr Hornsby to discuss the sale of the family farm is a touching, well-written scene in itself. Mr Hornsby mentions that there's an offer to buy the farm sight unseen, but Clark is adamant that he wants to sell to a real farmer. While Mr Hornsby is as much about making a quick buck as anyone in the real estate profession, the scene implies that he clearly held Jonathan Kent in high regard and as such, he accepts Clark's stance on not wanting to sell to developers and wishes him well.
  • Superman straightening up the flag at the moon landing site (pictured). After Superman recovers from his temporary defeat, the first thing he does before leaving to stop Nuclear Man is pick the flag back up and stand it upright once more.
  • Both fights between Superman and Nuclear Man. The filmmakers did the most with what they had, but these sequences could have been really spectacular with a decent budget behind them.
    • This version of Lex was always a bit more comedic than most, but every now and then he'd say or do something to remind us of why he's Superman's Arch-Enemy, and this line is an awesomely villainous way to kick off the first battle:
      Luthor: "Good Night, Sweet Prince... Parting is... inevitable." *to Nuclear Man* "DESTROY Superman!"
      Nuclear Man: "First... I have fun!"
