- Lois starts to light a cigarette, but Superman tells her that she shouldn't, so she stops.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- In the opening scene, three villains are sentenced to the "Phantom Zone", and the way they are transferred to this other dimension could be intense.
- The scene where Krypton explodes may disturb some viewers.
- A young Clark Kent races a speeding passenger train and playfully crosses the track at a road crossing a split second before the train reaches it. While a young viewer likely would know that Clark would not have been harmed if the train struck him, there is still the tension that he could have caused a wreck if the train had hit his super strong body.
- Lex Luthor kills a man with a subway train. We see his reactions and hear him scream as the train hits him.
- A helicopter malfunctions and crashes on the edge of a tall building's helipad, nearly killing its occupants in an extended sequence in which the pilot and passenger are increasingly deadly peril of falling to their deaths with bystanders and emergency response personnel helplessly respond. The tension is relieved when Clark Kent steps outside, realizes the emergency above him, and runs for a suitable hiding place change into Superman. Doing so, Superman takes off to rescue Lois as she falls, neatly catching her. There is an additional potentially scary moment when the helicopter itself falls from above them, but the typical child will know that Superman can catch it easily, and he does so.
- Thousands of people are put in peril by a nuclear missile that causes a massive earthquake that threatens to destroy the entire state of California as Superman races to stop the disaster.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A missile crash lands and explodes in the San Andreas Fault, causing a massive earthquake that creates damage across the region, these include: An abandoned gas station collapses and blows up, The Golden Gate Bridge begins to rattle and shake until traffic goes awry, (a bus crashes into a vehicle while another car from behind the bus slams into it, leaving it partially hanging off the edge of the bridge. The bus and the people inside are saved by Superman). The Hoover Dam explodes sending a huge wave of water toward a small town, again, it is stopped by Superman who sends an avalanche of rocks and boulders downhill to block the water. Lois' car stops working and she is left in her vehicle sinking into the ground where wave after wave of dirt and rocks tumble downhill inside until she suffocates to death.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Lois is trapped inside her car during an earthquake. She is suffocated by dirt and rocks. Superman then tries to save her, but it's too late and he delivers an intense, spine-chilling anguished scream before flying to reverse time. This is a fairly long scene, and may be gruesome to watch. It's also pretty emotional.
