- Goofs(at around 58 mins) During the "monster tractor" sequence, a boom operator is visible in the wrecked bar's mirror.
- Crazy creditsIn the beginning credits real silver is flashed at you.
- Alternate versionsIn the US advanced screening version, there was more dialog between Selena and Supergirl. Selena tells Supergirl she will make her name known all over the world, and that she herself, should fear. Supergirl replies to this, saying she will only bow to truth and justice, and Selena shows some black magic.

Featured review
I feel this movie was really given a bad first impression. I personally love the movie,I have always liked it and still continue to watch it. I recently bought the re-release that has the extra scenes. I am a fan of the Superman series and I feel if the creators of the Superman movie ( which I feel are the same people) had given Supergirl a better release date it would of had been a box office smash. I know there are certain scenes that could of had been fine tuned, but overall it is a great movie, I know people say Faye Dunnaway was overacting(melodramatic) I still think that she did great, after all she was a witch. I was though a little stunned with the coloring of the movie, yes it was back in 1984 however you still see movies that had great clear coloring.I wish the people who edited the movie had kept all the scenes in , because I feel it would of made a huge difference!
