Release[]
The score for the film was released in 1983.
A 3-disc fully expanded limited edition of the film's score, along with the extended score for Superman II, was released into the expanded archival collection by La-La Land Records as part of Superman's 80th anniversary in October 2018.
Content[]
Superman III was the first of the films to have a score and soundtrack on the same release. Side A was devoted to 20 minutes of Ken Thorne's score (including new material such as a comedic cue that corresponds with the opening slapstick sequence, a theme for Richard Pryor's character, Gus Gorman, and the climactic fight between Clark Kent and Evil Superman).
Side B was devoted to music by Giorgio Moroder. He specifically contributed a synthesized version of the main title march from Superman II, although it wasn't used in the film. He also created a new love theme for Clark and Lana Lang and contributed three other songs that appear mostly as instrumentals in the film, the most prominent being "They Won't Get Me" for Roger Miller, which is heard twice during Gus Gorman's presence in Smallville.
