Remember when Christopher Reeve flew around the globe in slow motion to save Lois Lane? That movie had zero post-credit scenes. Zero. Zip. Nada. Back in 1978, the idea of sitting through credits for a gag was as foreign as a Kryptonian ordering a cheeseburger. You got the iconic spinning Earth, John Williams’ score blasting, and then—lights up. People actually went home. Crazy, right?
But here’s a surprising fact: the 1978 movie did have a post-credit scene in some international versions. In Japan and France, they tacked on a cheesy bloopers reel where Superman accidentally flies into a telephone pole. Yes, a blooper reel. Imagine Jor-El’s ghost watching that and face-palming from the Phantom Zone.
