4. Mini-Review
Awake 45 stars
Episode 1.2 “The Little Guy” (3/8/2012)
Another powerful episode as Brittain has to stuggle between mourning his wife and son and having them back each night. The motorcycle scene was great. His partners are getting suspicious and we see the first indication of a conspiracy.
5. Trivia Answer
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace has a whopping 336 mistakes in the film. The second highest ever recorded behind Apocalypse Now. Some of the highlights are numerous scene where you can see the wires holding up Superman. The scene where the Nuclear Man takes the publisher into space with no protection and she returns unharmed. Scenes where backgrounds and actors change within a scene and a stunt man in a hat appearing in the same scene in three separate places.
The film was released July 24, 1987, and grossed a total of $15.6 million in the United States and Canada. With a budget of $17 million it the biggest failure in Superman history.
Bonus question (15 points): Star Wars is in the top ten. Where do you think it ranks?
