(at around 1h 15 mins) When Lois Lane interviews Superman on the balcony, Superman replies, "I never lie." Ilya Salkind felt this was an important point in the film, since Superman, living under his secret identity as Clark Kent, is "telling the biggest lie of all time." Of course this is not really part of the Superman mythology, and as a matter of fact Superman lies all the time. He even lies in this movie. He lies when he tells Lois (off camera) that Superman was a fairy tale, like Peter Pan. (Lois relates this to Superman on her apartment balcony right before he flies with her; and this is of course a lie. And Superman lies right after, pretending not to know who Clark is and what she's talking about). This "never lying" thing was just thrown into the movie randomly by Tom Mankiewicz so that Superman would be caught at the end when Miss Tessmacher makes him promise to save her mother in Hackensack New Jersey. Again this was not in the original comics.
