Christopher Reeve's portrayal of Superman is widely cherished, but 1987's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is still seen as the worst Superman movie.
1987's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is widely viewed as the worst Superman movie ever made, with a variety of factors contributing to its poor reputation. Christopher Reeve first brought the Man of Steel to life on the big screen in 1978's Superman: The Movie, which stands as a timeless superhero movie landmark.
Unfortunately, the Canon Film Group, to whom Warner Bros. had optioned the Superman film rights at the time, was in dire financial straits. This led to the budget for The Quest for Peace being slashed from an intended $32 million to just $17 million against the wishes of Reeve and the production team. Sadly, this was just the first of the many problems that killed The Quest for Peace.
Particularly effected was Nuclear Man, a Kryptonian clone created by Gene Hackman's returning Lex Luthor. In the original cut, Lex first creates a prototype Nuclear Man , who ultimately fails before the creation of the second Nuclear Man . The loss of so much footage from The Quest for Peace also removed the genesis of Nuclear Man’s romantic feelings for Lacy Warfield , while also removing huge chunks from the third act that left huge holes in the story .
