(SD, R0, USA, Anchor Bay)
When the planet Krypton was destroyed in a cosmic holocaust that claimed it's great civilization, Kal-El (known to Earth as Superman) was believed to be the only survivor -- until now ...
Safely hidden in the void of inner-space is the Kryptonian city of Argo -- saved by the scientist Zaltar (Peter O'Toole) and powered by the magical Omegahedron. But now the city's vital power source has been lost, and only one courageous person can retrieve it! Her name is Kara ... on Earth she is known as Supergirl (Helen Slater). Standing in her way is the evil sorceress Selena (Faye Dunaway) who has taken control of the fantastic power source. Wither her now super-powered black magic, the villainess is bent upon nothing less than world domination! Can Supergirl retrieve the Omegahedron before it is too late?

- Supergirl -- Limited Edition has the distinction of being the very first DVD I ever got and watched. Of the two versions of the movie on this DVD, I watched the Director's Cut first. Prior to this, I had only seen a 112 minute version of the film on Australian TV and Australian VHS, so it was a treat seeing all of the extra footage on the Director's Cut disc.
- Supergirl is admittedly not a very good film due to it's weak script, but it's a guilty pleasure movie for me thanks to the incredibly beautiful Helen Slater, the wonderful flying ballet sequence, some great cinematography by Alan Hume, and the late Jerry Goldsmith's lovely music score.
