Your thoughts on this show......

With the powers given by the bite of a radioactive spider, a young man fights crime as a wall-crawling superhero.

I only have vague memories of this but thought it was amazing (sic). It looked fantastic and they didn't had CGI so you ended up with real stuff like him climbing the empire state building (yeah, it's a man being pulled up on a rope but he's actually there... on the empire state building!!).

Some of the greatest wah wah guitar ever too.

I remember being disappointed at the time at it's lack of faithfulness to the comic book, but still enjoyed it as a fun adventure show.

Wasn't there already a thread on this show? I could've sworn I posted about how great the empire state climbing scene was.

You're right Hux. Thanks - and well spotted! There was an accidental duplication under "Best and Worst". Both threads merged on here now. :emoji_alien:

Those crafty souls in the UK put some of the episodes in the cinemas, trying to con us into believing that these were proper theatrical movies....

Quite a few of us fell for it.....

Best Spider-Man fight scene of all time


This is a fight scene from The Amazing Spider-Man tv show from the 70s. Funny fight, funny music and never would have thought I would see Spider-Man get hurt and yell over getting hit in the foot. Scene is from the pilot episode.
