Duh duh duuuuh duuuh duuuh duuuh duuuuh, du du duuuuh, du du duuuuh duuh d d duuuuh.
Plot: In the Kryptonian community of Argo City (somewhere in trans-dimensional space-not on Krypton), a scientist called Zaltar (Peter Legend O'Toole) shows off a rather powerful thingamybob, the Omegahedron. Turns out, he borrowed it from the city council without them noticing and whoops, wouldn't ya know it, he's only gone and catapulted it out into space. As a result, his little friend Kara (Helen Slater) decides to go get it- as it powers everything on Argo City, it's a mite important. As chance would have it, the Omegahedron lands on Earth. Sadly for the newly empowered Kara aka Supergirl, a maniacal witch named Selena has found it and sets about conquering the world with it.
Supergirl subsequently does battle, loses, gets banished to the Phantom Zone, comes back and eventually saves the day. She also falls in love...arhhhhhh.
The film was directed by Jeannot Szwarc, the fella behind Bugs, Jaws II and Santa Claus: The Movie.
Budget: $35,000,000
Gross: $14,296,438
Fun Fact: Christopher Legend Reeve bowed out of a cameo early on. No reason given, but it's possibly because it was a crap script. Dolly Parton was offered $7,000,000 to star as Selena, but stated that she couldn't be seen as a witch for any amount of money.
