People can say what they want about the show itself, but that theme was badass.

 

[Visionary]

Sounds like jazzy porn music, but it's still better than Elfman's work.

Long after this is gone....

...this will be remembered for it's funky theme tune.

You're right, that is embarassing that you only got one. There are three.

 

[trentoid]

theres only so much string that man could climb before I stopped buying them

 

[notoriousnate87]

You should feel embarassed. That music is an awful combination with the Spider-Man 3 teaser.

Come on though, you've got to respect a show which actually does put their Spider-Man on the side of skyscrapers.

Well, y'know, it was done in jest....it's not a grass roots fan campaign to get that theme into the movie....

not when a man who apparntly has the abiliity to climb buildings and hows the agility of a spider looks like he's struggling climbing a rope

He never climbed up a rope.

He was pulled up via wires which were often well disguised, but he used his hands and feet in the classic wall-crawling motion.

 

[Visionary]

Have you never seen the live-action TV show?

Yeah, but I'm trying to forget.

Hey, at least he had mechanical web-shooters, they were as big as car tires and hug around his wrist like Hoola-Hoops...but they were there.

LOL. He actually only had one. Imagine Spidey swinging from web to web with one hand, and maybe a PSP or a cup of mocha in the other hand.

The technology may not have been as advanced in the 1970's, but the wall crawling effects in that show still impress me far more than what I've seen in the movies so far.

Me too. There are scenes in the pilot of Spidey leaping onto the ceiling that are absolutely perfect to this day, and I still don't know how they were done.

 

[Eggyman]

I must admit that although cheesy, those tv shows were what made me the spidey fan i am today -- the three films especially (spider-man, spider-man strikes back, and the dragon's challenge) were constantly being rented by me and my slightly exasperated dad (god rest his soul) from my local video store to the point of the store owner finding my address in the records and giving me them when the store closed down. Unfortunatley I had watched them that much that they barely worked.

That's so kind.

Dammit.

 

[Eggyman]

They had some classic element too -- like spidey getting a lift home in the back of a garbage truck lol -- and he had spidey tracers too

 

[SpiderB]

I know just the scene you're talking about. I've watched it a million times and I can't wrap my head around exactly how they did it. And no CGI there, buddy.

If I could remember how to do it, I'd make a gif of that shot just so everybody here could appreciate it.

 

[Visionary]

Are you sure, was there ever an episode where he had two, I seem to recall two at some point?

This is going to sound crazy, but I would like to take away the use of CGI from Sony/Raimi for one movie, and see what they come up with, absolutely no CGI for what-so-ever. I love seeing people under pressure--and they would probably pop from it.

Good idea, how about I make a short YouTube video of all the best stunts in the series? Any suggestions?

Not as far as I'm aware, I have all the episodes and I don't remember seeing two.

Look at the wallcrawling scene in The Flywith Jeff Goldblum - it's more convincing than anything in Raimi's movies, and it's all done as a real shot. Achieved using a very elaborate wheel device, but far cheaper than CGI.
