Richard (I think) Donner was the director of the 1st Superman film...he also filmed most of Superman II whilst he was at it, but then left the project and they drafted a new director in who filmed a few new scenes, re-edited bits and made it into the film that everyone knows. Now, using the miracles of modern technology, Mr Donner has returned to the editing suite and cut and pasted his original vision for the film back together, hence the "Donner Cut"...
