World Spidey 70's Live Action show appreciation

[Hypestyle]

post here if you were a fan... and want them released on DVD..

I'm a fan of comics...and I'm a collector...so yeah, I want decent copies of the show. I say decent, because I have copies...they aren't the best, but you do what you can with what you got.

I hope that by this point Marvel owns the rights to the show, instead of whatever studio produced it.. they really need to put something together, an entire series set, I'm sure it would sell..

Sorry, but I remember this abomination from when I was a kid.

I wish I didn't.

This is one part of Spidey history best left dead and buried.

To be honest, if you can find the 3 films......you have 3 to 6 episodes there, as they were chopped into shows for the TV from the cinema. Well in England they were.

 

[Spider-Man '92]

There was nothing truly spectacular about this show, except that it was my first live action Spidey as a kid. I just recently saw waht I believe is the final episode that I had watched several times years ago (as well as the first), and there is so much nostalgia factor to seeing certain shots that were imprinted on my mind.

You can find all the episodes out there on the net. I have the whole series.

And in pretty good quality too...

I remember when "The Chinese Web" was advertised as the movie: "Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge" and was (possibly) released theatrically. I also remember watching the pilot and the rest of the TV series and thought it was cool at the time, but later found the special effects to be really cheap and laughable. I did like the music from the 2nd season though with the saxophone.

There was also one episode (can't remember which one but could be 2nd season) where someone manages to whip off Spidey's mask with something in the middle of a burglary.

There were I think two movies released from compilation of episodes.

The TV show will have something the movies never have...a real man climbing skyscrapers, a real man swinging from buildings hundreds of feet in the air, and a real man leaping to and from the ceiling.

These moments alone are wonderful to see and will always beat CGI no matter how good it is.

I also think Nicolas Hammond is a better Peter Parker than Tobey Maguire. Hammond has that essential earnestness and down-at-heel vibe, whereas Maguire is more sweet and innocent and goofy. Maguire is great, absolutely, but for me, Hammond is Peter Parker.
