Movie Facts: There was actually a Japanese Spider-Man Movie!



The 1978 "Supaidāman" movie isn't a bootleg; it's the product of Marvel licensing their characters out to Toei, a Japanese production company, to be used however they wanted. It is, however, completely insaneInstead of Peter Parker, this series focused on Takuya Yamashiro, a motorcycle racer whose father, a "space archaeologist," equipped him with a transformation-inducing wristband that gave him control of a giant fighting robot that he used to fight the kaiju army of Professor Monster in episodes with titles like "Becoming Splendid: To the Murderous Machine of Transformation" and "To the Flaming Hell: See the Tears of the Snake Woman." We are pretty sure that these facts make it the most awesome thing ever sent out on the airwaves.
