This movie featured a return of the title character to the big screen (but was not a sequel.) The title character appears 48 minutes into the film. The title is first heard 1 hour, 33 minutes into the film. The title character's tagline (an alternate version) is illustrated, in parts, across the movie. The actor who portrayed the title character the previous time he was in cinema had a cameo in this movie. An actress who had played one role previously now played her mother.

There had been Superman reels in the cinema before, but this was a full-length movie. In this one, we got 48 minutes of origin and backstory before we saw the costume, and it was even later when he was called "Superman" (named that by his interviewer when she wrote up her story.) We saw him faster than a speeding bullet (he caught one), more powerful than a locomotive (he outran one train and held up another), and he cleared the Daily Planet building in one move (he was also "able to fly higher than any plane" when he sent the missile into space.) Kirk Allyn returned for a cameo, and Noel Neill (who played Lois Lane on TV) played Lois' mother (Lois was the girl that saw a young Clark outrun a train.)
Add that the cold open refers to the Daily Planet as a great metropolitan newspaper and Perry White later refers to Clark as a mild-mannered reporter.
Well done. Superman was my guess, but I couldn't fit all the "tagline" references together (and, for the record, Superman himself says he's here to fight for Truth, Justice and the American Way, something Dean Cain's incarnation NEVER SAID).

There was an extended cut which actually spent a bit more time with Alyn and Neill. In the theatrical version we only got a glimpse of them.

I don't have a reference handy, but the last time the phrase came up in the comics (within the last few years, so, the current of the many continuities), he said he fought for truth and justice, but some other phrase replaced "the American Way" as the third point, something global or world or something.

"Truth, justice and a better world" was said by Clark and Lois' son, a different Superman (the bisexual one.)
Of the "better tomorrow" motto, Jim Lee said the following:
"To better reflect the storylines that we are telling across DC and to honor Superman’s incredible legacy of over 80 years of building a better world, Superman’s motto is evolving.”

Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf? Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in.
Human without the bean
I was way off going with "The Terminal", except that it didn't have any articles of clothing in the title. I assume WordWolf is correct, but I'm not familiar with it. But that's not unusual.

Stallone. Also well-known for reprising his Rocky role. I can't see him in Eddie Murphy's role in BHC, though... George

Okay. Let's do a few more obscure movie quotes. Name one movie among them and take the round.
"Buddy, I think you're slime"!
"You're discharged, Sarge."
"Do you think she was a pro"?

I think the second one was from one of the Expendables movies. Not the first. Maybe the third?

So, maybe now's not the time for obscure movie lines. I'll save these up for a rainy day. But for now I give it up for a FREE POST.

OK, found it this time.
"Truth, justice and a better tomorrow."

Apparently, that's not all they're changing.

This 2004 film was remade as a Broadway musical in 2018.
Two of the stars were regulars on Saturday Night Live.
Many scenes were cut and several lines were re-worked to give the movie a PG-13 rating (rather than an R).

Two of the stars were regulars on Saturday Night Live. This was also the screenwriting debut for one of them.

Tim Meadows broke his hand before shooting and had to wear a cast, so the explanation that his character, Mr. Duvall, had carpal tunnel was added.
A remake has just been released. Some of the cast of the 2004 film appear, but in different roles.
