How Richard Pryor was invited to the Superman 3!!!

When the producers trying to sell their bad movie as they trying explain in this doc, l stay tuned how and why Richard Pryor was fit as supporting role, in fact he was in a sort of late show and interviewed by someone who asking him "What are you doing now?" he replayed " Flying everywhere likes Superman" then somebody watched the interview and spoke to the producers and invited him to do the upcoming Superman 3, he stolen the show entirely, here they explain how it was made, almost at Pinewood Studio in England and some location on Alberta, Canada and Grand Canyon Arizona, the director Richard Lester expose on old footages how it were done in each scene, following by some interviews by Christopher Reeve, O'toole and Vaughn, finally they talk about Pryor's experience on some sequences and how he'd always improvised some dialogues by himself!!!
