Superman Anthology Steelbook (5th October 2016)

At 151 mins Superman The Movie is still 20 minutes shorter than it should be. I taped it in 1986 and it is the International cut that runs for about 173 mins.

The 173 min cut is a longer version of the film that was assembled by the film's producers (and without input from director Richard Donner) sometime in the late 70s/early 80s for TV airings, and is not an official cut of the film. It's also my understanding that Donner does not approve of the 173 min version, and was unaware of its existence until the early 2000s.

So therefore, technically, the film as it is on blu-ray is not shorter than it should be.
