Can anybody help me on this? I know I didn't imagine that one scene. 
According to this page it's footage that Lester added.

^ ^ ^ Wow, that page is a must-read for any fans of the Superman films! I remember alot of those scenes from the TV broadcasts in the 80s, but not all of it! Most of the Donner footage described is included in the Donner cut of II.

16. Rocky II
Still functioning with at least 85 percent of his brain cells intact, The Italian Stallion (Sylvester Stallone) is packing meat as an Everyday Joe before he's lured back into the ring for a rematch with Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Not only is the climactic clash fierce and relentless, but it doesn't even end in a draw.
Worthy Sequel? Yes.
Better than the original? No.

That was the first Rocky movie I saw. I haven't seen them in a while. I think I liked Rocky II the best.

I love all the Rocky movies(except 5), but none of them top the first one. Not a chance.

Rocky is a masterpiece on so many levels that go beyond just film.

The first one has a sort of grungy charm. The rest might be higher-budget, but charm they don't have.

The first is the only one that feels like a real film. By IV we are in full cartoon-mode.

II is the one I remember the least about. The first one I remember pretty cleaerly. The third only the ending, Mr T and Eye of the Tiger, four I remember almost the whole thing (it's cartoonish, but it is awesome), five I prefer to forget anyways, and RB was solid.

16. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Expectations were high when Alfonso Cuarón signed on to direct the third 'Harry Potter' film, and he did not disappoint. Darker than its predecessors and introducing the splendid Gary Oldman as Sirius Black, 'Azkaban' marks the point at which the franchise, like its young leads, grows up.
Never seen it, not a fan.

Yep. POA is the peak of the Harry Potter films because Alfonso Cuaron is an incredible director. The rest are not bad, but POA is the only one that is actually really good.
