Superman II

Superman II (1980)

Superman II is the 1980 sequel to 1978's Superman: The Movie. Both of these films were filmed simultaneously, but production conflicts led to director Richard Donner departing from the sequel and the movie was completed with new scenes under the direction of Richard Lester. In 2006, Richard Donner and editor Michael Thau collaborated to restore as much of Donner's original vision as possible with newly discovered footage. This version of the film was released on video under the title: "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut". Many alternate sequences were restored as well as the appearance of Superman's father Jor-El (Marlon Brando).

The following weapons were used in the film Superman II:

12 Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun (sawed-off)

Dwayne, the young deputy who confronts the supervillains, aims a sawed-off 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun at General Zod (Terence Stamp). After he superheats the barrels with his heat vision, Zod takes the shotgun away and fires a blast into his chest to no ill effect. Zod then comments, "A weapon of some sort."

Remington Spartan Sawed Off shotgun - 12 gauge

Zod superheats Deputy Dwayne's 12 Gauge Sawed off Double Barreled Shotgun.

Zod fires at himself several times. Note how steam comes out instead of a muzzle flash due to how blanks are dangerous at close range so the sound of it firing was added later.

In the Richard Donner cut, US Marines defending the White House are seen firing what appears to be an M60 machine gun at General Zod before Non (Jack O' Halloran) takes the machine gun and breaks it in half. In reality, the machine is an FN MAG mocked up to resemble the M60.
