Despite Richard Donner’s fame, there is one sci-fi movie, which featured Gerard Butler and Paul Walker in Donner’s second foray into the time travel genre, that's been forgotten. Richard Donner is most notably known for directing classic 80s movies such as The Goonies, Lethal Weapon and Scrooged. His work on the first three Lethal Weapon movies has been highly praised for helping revitalize buddy cop movies, despite the producer's first choice of director for Lethal Weapon being Ridley Scott, and The Goonies has gained so much popularity that it is now one of the rarest and most expensive VHS tapes. 2s5t44

Superman ’78 brought back the continuity of Richard Donner’s classic superhero films, telling an exciting new story with an original version of Brainiac, but the series should use the strangest Superman foe if it continues. Donner’s plans for Superman III would have introduced Brainiac and Supergirl to the film franchise, and while Donner’s vision of the film was scrapped, both characters ed his universe via the Supergirl spinoff film and the Superman ’78 comics. Another character planned for Superman III, the impish Mr. Mxyzptlk, remains absent from Donner’s universe and thus would be a natural choice for another Superman ’78 miniseries.
