Trivia

• When Jor-El tries to start Clark's training, the images shown features the destruction of Krypton and Kal-El's escape from Superman the Movie. As a result, the spaceship shown here is the one from the movie, rather than the one that had been featured on the show. Furthermore, the footage features Trevor Howard, William Russell and Penelope Lee (along with several other actors) as their characters from the film.
