Eventually Smith left, and Peters went on to make Wild Wild West (1999), featuring a giant mechanical spider. They even asked Smith to work around it, by calling the mechanical spider something different, according to Smith). Peters insisted on Superman fighting a giant mechanical spider, supervillain Braniac fighting a polar bear, and so on (much to the frustration of Smith, Warner Bros. Coincidentally, two more deadly tornadoes hit the Oklahoma City area about a month before this film's theatrical release, prompting Zack Snyder to consider removing the tornado scene from the movie, although he ultimately kept it, as Superman would have had to deal with all kinds of disasters and tragedies.Īccording to Kevin Smith's account (found in An Evening with Kevin Smith (2002)), when he was attached to write a Superman movie, he met with producer Jon Peters. However, in 1999, the deadly Moore/Bridge Creek F5 tornado killed several people who were hiding in overpasses, prompting the National Weather Service and other weather agencies to proclaim them as unsafe. In 1991, many thought overpasses were safe, after a highly publicized video of a television film crew and some civilians survived a tornado near El Dorado, Kansas, by taking shelter under an overpass, although the overpass did not take a direct hit. The tornado scene stirred some controversy with the National Weather Service as overpasses are not considered to be safe shelters in the event of a tornado due to the wind funneling effect increasing the likelihood of being struck by debris. After he had shot his shirtless scenes, director Zack Snyder gave him a tub of ice cream and pizza to reward him for his Herculean effort for the shirtless scenes.

After six weeks, he reached a body fat level of just seven percent, the level achieved by professional body-builders during competitions. He had been training for months prior to filming, but for his shirtless scenes, he went on an extremely difficult diet and training regimen in which his calorie intake was cut from five thousand to nearly fifteen hundred for six weeks. WarnerBros.Henry Cavill said that the most difficult part of making the movie was definitely his two shirtless scenes.
