Spider-Man 70's Style
Since when does a VHS tape cost $65? Well since the original Spider-Man 70's Live Action TV series is not on DVD, YouTube is your only fix for all of your retro funk spinning spidy action.
If it's not the boffy hair styles and awesome actor names like Chip Fields that don't grab you then maybe the fact that Spidy seems to run from everyone ,but only so he can clear some space to go into his fighting stance be it at the top of a building or by the side of the pool.Looking back now he's a bit slow crawling up a wall but when I was a kid that was pure gold. Diffusing bombs that look like it was stolen from Luke Skywalker's lightsaber training program that fit into the size of a lunch box is probably not enough to blow out the air conditioning on the top floor let alone be a threat to the president. Mastermind criminals in white suits flying around in helicopters why not throw that in there.Got to love out of context videos,but hey it was a different world back then and was full of fun for young minds who wouldn't question such antics. Try showing that to this generation's target audience. Somehow I don't think it would have the love that it has today. Thank goodness for hindsight! After watching that the fusion between kung-fu and A Fistful of Dollars with the soundtrack of porn backing music, I'm not sure which way to fly.
