SUPERGIRL FIRST FLIGHT- U.S. THEATRICAL VERSION
SUPERGIRL was released worldwide outside of North America in July 1984 and throughout the summer, with a running time of 124 minutes.

The most obvious cuts were in the arrival of Supergirl on Earth sequence, with the discovery of her powers by crushing a rock and making a flower bloom with her heat vision scenes excised, and numerous flying shots shortened, as well as the deletion of her landing and posing against the sunset at the end of the sequence.
At a running time of 2 minutes 8 seconds, this sequence runs 2 minutes, 36 seconds shorter than as seen in the 124 minute International Version and 138 minute Director’s Cut.

Almost three years since principal photography under director Richard Donner began, director Richard Lester wraps filming on the sequel after more than seven months of filming new scenes and reshoots of Donner filmed material.
Richard Lester also served as an uncredited producer and director of SUPERMAN THE MOVIE, and made many key decisions on the production, such as having Richard Donner halt all filming on SUPERMAN II until the first film was completed, and moving the turning time back ending from the end of part two to the climax of the first film.
Lester also directed two other films, BUTCH AND SUNDANCE: THE EARLY YEARS and CUBA, while working on the Superman production.
