For those that don't know what the KCOP version is. It refers to a broadcast of Superman:The Movie in the 80's by KCOP TV. It's the "kitchen sink" Superman: The Movie. They used the version prepared by the Salkands that pretty much uses all the usable scenes shot for Superman. It has even a bit more scenes then the network TV version did.
On the network TV version, one of the additional scenes had me spouting question marks. The additional scenes in the KCOP version clear up the mystery.
The scene is where Superman is making a Dam to keep the water from reaching a neighborhood. In the network TV version, they have this sequence where the water diverted by the dam flows to an impoverished village and they are happy to have water again. On the ABC version, it didn't seem to be connected to anything and one wonders why it was there in the first place.
It turns out that this is the village of the indian chief that Lois Lane was interviewing in the car. In that scene there was additional dialog about how ever since the dam went up, his village suffered because the water was diverted away from them. There is also a scene of Lois dropping off the chief at that same village.
Anyway, there is the connection.
