Nos anos [[1970]], Lester dirigiu uma ampla gama de filmes, incluindo os fracassados ''Juggernaut'' ([[1974]]), ''Robin and Marian'' ([[1976]]), com [[Sean Connery]] e [[Audrey Hepburn]] e o romance de época ''Cuba'' ([[1979]]), também com Connery. O maior sucesso comercial nesse período foram ''The Three Musketeers'' ([[1973]]) e, na sequência, ''The Four Musketeers'' ([[1974]]). Esses filmes foram alvo de controvérsias, pois os produtores [[Alexander Salkind]] e [[Ilya Salkind]] decidiram fazer as duas versões depois das filmagens realizadas. Parte da equipe processou os Salkinds, alegando que foram contratatados para apenas um filme.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

As the release of ''[[Superman (film)|Superman]]'' neared, production on ''[[Superman II|II]]'' was halted to concentrate on getting the first movie completed. After the first Superman film was released in late 1978, the Salkinds went back into production on ''II'' without informing Donner and placing Lester behind the camera for the completion of the film. Although Donner had shot approximately 75% of the film, Lester jettisoned or reshot much of the original footage, resulting in Lester receiving sole credit for directing ''II''. [[Gene Hackman]], who played [[Lex Luthor]], did not return, and Lester instead used a stunt double and an impersonator to loop Luthor's lines into footage of Hackman shot during Donner's tenure on ''II''. The footage filmed by Donner was later integrated into television versions of the film with Lester's footage. In November 2006, Donner's footage was reedited into ''[[Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut]]'', using mostly Donner footage, with the only Lester footage being that which is necessary to cover scenes not shot during Donner's principal photography. Donner revealed on the new DVD of ''[[Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut]]'' that he has never heard from Lester since his firing after the completion of the first film.
 
Lester also directed ''[[Superman III]]'' in 1983. The third Superman film fared poorly with critics, with fans divided, and did not perform quite as well at the box office as the previous two movies had, although actually, the film still managed to be within the top 10 most successful films of 1983; the number of blockbuster sequels released that year (two 007 movies [ [[Octopussy]] and [[Never Say Never Again]]], [[Return of the Jedi]] and [[Jaws 3]]) made for stiff competition for Superman III. Despite the competition, naysayers tend to overlook the financial success of the movie and deem it a flop. It is generally seen as the turning point where the series went into decline. As such, Lester is blamed by some fans for helping to ruin the Superman franchise.

Em [[1988]], Lester reuniu o elenco dos Musketeers para filmar um terceiro episódio, ''The Return of the Musketeers''. No entanto, durante filmagens na [[Espanha]], o ator [[Roy Kinnear]], um amigo próximo, morreu ao cair de um cavalo. Lester concluiu o filme e parou de dirigir filmes. Somente voltou a trabalhar dirigindo o filme ''Get Back'' para o amigo [[Paul McCartney]], em [[1991]].

Em [[1993]], ele apresentou ''Hollywood UK'', um seriado de cinco episódios sobre o [[cinema britânico]] nos anos 60 para a [[BBC]].
 
Recentemente, o diretor [[Steven Soderbergh]] tem sido um dos muitos a defender uma reavaliação do trabalho e da influência da filmografia de Richard Lester. Soderbergh escreveu em [[1999]] o livro ''Getting Away With It'', contendo entrevistas com Richard Lester<ref>[http://film.guardian.co.uk/Guardian_NFT/interview/0,,110592,00.html Entrevista para o The Gardian em 8/11/1999]</ref>.
