I think it says something about how monumentally influential this movie was - every portrayal of Krypton or Kryptonian architecture including the portrayal of the Fortress of Solitude - that has come about in TV or films or even the comics themselves in some way references the style of this film. The artists on the comics even started drawing Superman more like Chris Reeve afterword! Up until this film - Krypton was usually portrayed as a 1930s version of the future. The rocketship that took him to Earth as a baby was almost always portrayed as a tiny pocket version of a Flash Gordon styled "rocket ship" from the serials. Kryptonians themselves looked like they were from Mongo etc. ALL of that changed with this film! It's amazing the sea change of styling elements that cascaded from this movie in regards to everything related to Krypton moving forward in our own cultural zeitgeist of our collective idea of the Superman mythos.

Still, we never really saw Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van plummet into the core. Their fate was not witnessed, only assumed. Thus it is entirely possible that Jor-El had a contingency plan prepared to save both himself and his beloved wife, and from there we can infer that they may have yet survived the destruction of Krypton and have gone someplace else, perhaps even to Earth. I am currently writing that little what-if story, placing them on the dark side of the moon to live in secret, until the humans of Earth are fully ready to accept the Son of El.
