What can you say about a 1970's TV series about a fella in blue and red pyjamas?
Plot: Peter Parker (Nicholas Hammond) gets bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes Spider-Man. At some point, he becomes amazing. In this made for TV adaptation (the first of the TV episodes-two seasons), Spidy fights ninjas and confronts a demented and diabolical criminal Guru who threatens to make a few New Yorkers commit suicide if he doesn't get paid. Sweet.
I was lucky enough to find a couple of the TV movies a few years back. They sit happily in my closet...collecting dust. Fun and ridiculous.
Look out for the 1970's themed music.
Budget: $? Probably all went on the PJs.
Gross: $? TV ratings led to a second season- must have done moderately well.
Fun Fact: The movie and TV series were shot in L.A, despite being set in NY with the studio considering an Incredible Hulk team up.
