I agree. I was shocked. The thing that I liked about this video is that Spider-Man didn't get fighting skills and climbing techniques, just because he got special spider abilities.
How about that he enters, sneaks around trying to be quiet and grabs the tree making noise...and after a brief fight. Leaves the same way he came in. What was the point 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for that bit of nostalgia. I use to absolutely love this show. I remember, as a small child, crying one time because I thought I'd missed that week's episode. You haven't truly loved a show until you've cried over missing an episode.
That was me on December 9, 1981. I was playing wiffle ball with my dad and he struck me out. I was only 6 and had a bit of an Irish temper, so I threw the bat at him. I got punished and wasn't allowed to watch an episode of The Greatest American Hero, one I had been waiting in eager anticipation of because it looked really spooky. It was called "The Beast in the Black" and I didn't even get to see it until I was an adult. I sat there crying and begging as they watched it without me. I now realize the charges were trumped up so my parents could have alone time to make out.
I saw an episode or two when I was very young child but for a long time I was not even sure if my memory of it was real or not. But the memory persisted and always came up whenever I saw a new Spider Man movie in theaters so I had to look it up. Turns out it was very real. 🤣
Your headline is misleading. This is not just the greatest Spider-Man fight scene ever filmed, it is ... THE SINGLE GREATEST FIGHT SCENE EVER FILMED - PERIOD!!!
There's one with one Good guy trying to get another Good guy to wear a pair of sunglasses. THAT was the best fight scene ever filmed. It took up half the movie! But this is right up there, I'll grant you.
The pilot was a movie in Argentina, i remember a line all around the block to see the movie!!!. The Spiderman animated series of the 60's was a huge phenomena in 1978, as the same level as Star Wars the same year. Wonderful times, before the dark times, before Disney.
Remember going to watch this at the cinema, then came out. Lot of us was trying out the moves. Lol They should put some that funky music in the new one.
No CGI, just stuntmen doing they're jobs and doing it well, just for an audience of mostly kids. One's that are now grown and can appreciate this kinda stuff!
@50nobody50 That swing through the sky was done practically without the use of a modern harness. Fred Waugh was an impressive stunt coordinator. He could have had his arms yanked from their sockets during that swing.
Ouch...that stings a little. I do like me some 1970s spider-man, though. Might be the funk-tastic soundtrack that puts it over the top! And the fact that there was no CGI and the damned Spiderman stunt-dude actually climbed a big chunk of the Empire State Building in his Spider-Man costume for an episode.
@@singingway You're damned right. No safety nets, no nothing. The guy's name was Fred Waugh and he was a badass during his heyday. He did some crazy shit for Spiderman fans. If you haven't seen all of the old-school Spider-Mans, you really should check them out.
As a 10 year old spidey reader it was the exact oposite for me. My disappointment was insurmountable. It was mainly the fact that his Spider sense wasn't triggered once or that just 3 guys gave him sooo much trouble.
You really have to appreciate the craftsmanship of those 70s Spider-Man fight scenes. The way they made the walls wobble with each impact was a subtle nod to the sheer power of Spider-Man's punches, almost as if the entire set was on the verge of collapsing under his strength.
It's a real Spider-Man movie. It was the actor doing everything all the time. No computer magic. No fakes...except maybe the flimsy mosquito net as a webbing and the cotton candy like spider web for swinging.
Since they're apparently making a multi-verse Spider-Man movie and bringing back Maguire and Garfield. Who else thinks Nicholas Hammond should be in it as old Spidey?
@@coyotegaming4027 except they already brought back spider ham in the spiderverse already. So that's been done but why do you have a problem with letting fans of this spiderman get recognition if your favorite spiderman gets to be in a spiderverse movie why can't fans of other spiderman get theirs too?
In every modern spiderman movie he gets tossed at walls at high velocities , banged by cars, whacked in the head with a steel pipe and in this we finally find his weakness...bamboo hit his fucken ankle :D hahahah
Now every Spider-man movie tries to "out-do" the one before and, quite frankly, a person gets numb to it. After a while, the CGI-hyper-speed fights where Spidey gets hurled around to an absurd degree gets tiresome. This might be "primitive" in a certain sense, but these are real people and the guy in the Spider-Man suit does a great job. The battle may not be so over the top but there ends up being more suspense because you ask yourself, "How did they do that?" I have choreographed fights for film projects and it is more difficult than it looks. Try hoisting yourself up by the arms onto a pole and kick two guys coming at you without hitting your nuts. That takes strength and skill. My hat is off to the crew that came choreographed this "the old-fashioned way."
@@jefferykyiyu Why don't you try pulling your own body weight up with your arms onto a pole and kicking two attackers without hitting your own nuts? Not as easy as it looks. Takes strength, skill, and good abdominal muscles.
I love how he just keeps backing away in the beginning until he gets cornered, what is this Canadian Spider-man? "look I don't want any trouble, eh, put down those bamboo swords and I'll be on my way alright?"
Great effects, terrible choreography. If they had some of the good martial arts choreographers of the 70s (Drunken Master came out in 78, just like Spiderman) it would have been *so* good.
I agree. Especially fight choreography that emphasized Spidey’s intelligence. Would have liked to have seen him maneuver them into bad spots, maybe even hitting each other with their staffs or him disarming at least one with webbing. Ah well.
William Stone For sure bro. Who gives a fuck about advanced technology, amazing storylines, awesome cgi. This all are shit. This right here is the best spiderman fight scene of all time. 100% awesome spiderman action. DUDE WAKE THE FUCK UP
Would genuinely like to see a scene for scene homage to this in the next big budget MCU film - but that massive rope swing stunt at the end between buildings! No CGI, just balls of steel!
The wall crawling looks pretty good for 1970's medium budget TV. I would have liked to hear him throwing out sharp quips and sick burns throughout the fight.
@@rictadstar wars used practical effects. Yes they looked very good, but it wasn't incredible technology they were using. Also the effects in star wars were groundbreaking at the time, meaning the methods used weren't widespread at that point, or in some cases even fully realized.
They really did do a great job for a 70's TV series, to be able to have him walking on walls and shooting web like they did with lot less money and technology back then
Why are so many people complaining or disliking this. I mean it was a low/moderate budget television series. Not a film series. It was the 1970s. No CGI existed. No massive budget for high level special or suberb pratical effects. No money for professional fight Choreography. No Stan Lee endorsing it. (He didn't like the direction of it). No real input from Marvel. CBS productions doing the best they could with what they had. And in-house disagreements causing problems upon the tone of the series. But again, it was on regular TV. No special high end cable network. So what the hell do people want. Just appreciate it for what it was. The closest thing to a real Spidey we ever saw. Not perfect by a long shot, but dammit it was a great attempt if nothing else.
@@coyotegaming4027 He just didn't like it being reality crime intrigue based like Kojak with superpowers vs being like whacko funny 60's Batman is how Stan wanted it. But outside crazy supervillians this show was close to the comics but for the origins keeping with Peter as an adult college guy vs high schooler somehow getting a job with the newspaper illogic.
@@TheCrusher72 I would say if you haven't got the budget or creative input for a show like spiderman then don't bother making it. Otherwise it ends up like this. Even Stan lee hated it.
This is 100% authentic on how a person reacts to a spider. I broke it down for you guys. 0:15 Spider is creeping in your residence. You see a spider, grab the most unethical object to kill a spider with ( in this case a Kendo Practice Sword ), find the spider and 0:28 scream when you see it. The spider crawls and 0:55 you swing at it, missing. 1:03 Furniture is moved so you can keep sight of it. 1:15 Finally you corner it in a spot where you can actually kill it with your unethical choice of weaponry, you try to be careful and precise, wanting to make sure he will never exist to invade in your home ever again. 1:31 Your gut tells you it is time to end this spider. You swing, but just as you are about to land the perfect strike, he moves. 1:35 You watch as the spider crawls on the ceiling, helplessly watching him to make sure he doesn't starting easing his way down on top of you. He finally comes down and that is when you decide that you've had enough wasting your precious time to accurately kill it. 1:41 You start to swing and slam your weapon wildly at the spider in hopes of killing it. 1:53 At one point you keep your distance and throw your weapon at it in hopes it will land. But this is one agile spider; you miss and miss and miss and miss over and over again. 1:54 You may get lucky and actually graze him but now the spider is frantically fearful and crawling on the wall in hopes to elude you. 1:57 You almost hit a friend or loved in in your attempts to kill the spider. As it is fleeing, 2:15 you accidentally step into one of the spider's web strands face first, temporarily stunning you as you spit, gag and attempt to remove the webbing from your vision. 2:25 The Spider uses this distraction as it flees to the window and creeps into the tight corners where it is impossible to reach and swing your weapon without breaking the glass. This is when you decide you've had enough and you vow to kill this spider after evading your wrath several times. You just so happen to see it crawl outside and up towards the roof. You run upstairs, 2:49 go through your daughters bedroom window to the roof where you see the spider briefly relieved to have escaped. 2:57 You charge at it, swinging with all the rage you can muster only to miss several more times due to the unstable angle and material of the roof beneath your feet. 3:33 The spider finally says to itself, "F*ck it, I'm outta here." It crawls to the edge of the roof, streaming a web into the air for the wind to pick up and carry it away from your presence. But before it does however, 3:42 it waves goodbye to you in a mocking fashion before flying away, leaving you heaving and gritting your teeth with all the hate and rage, knowing full well the spider had bested you and that you meet again in the coming days when you are casually doing your business in the bathroom, newspaper in hand and he will crawl beside your feet, thus sparking round 2 of this rivalry.
Pretty fun, old-school action and effects. I find it kind of funny, though, that Spidey was so quiet throughout the whole thing. Isn't he usually wisecracking while he fights? Something like... "Sorry for interrupting your kung-fu movie!" "No one's making sushi out of this spider! "Good luck earning your yellow belts, guys!"
This whole spiderman movie trumps the other ones. Not because it had Nicholas Hammond from The sound of music in it, Not because of Thayer david from rocky, not because of this epic fight scene....But because of that funky music!
I watched this. I must have been around 5 years old. At the time it was fantastic for kids, and the stunt work was amazing. That web swing at the end...
There were always going to be two ways this could go: 1. Actually pretty good for its time, and 2. Ridiculous. I like to think that it's actually pretty good.
The only reason this Spider-Man wasn't in the Spiderverse movie is because he would've been too powerful, they would've needed a whole new narrative just for him.
Creators of show: We are making a new Spider-Man show! Stan Lee: Great! What super villains are you going to use? Creators of show: Ugh... There were super villains?
I found a copy of this in the 90s when I was in college. Used to watch the show every week in the 70s with my grandpa. Popped this on the TV during a party, and many people didn't know what it was, but EVERYONE loved it!
İ find it quite amazing that Nicholas's Spiderman doesn't rely on his spider webs. But is more stealth, and defensive. Only attacking when the assaulter attacks (for the most part.)
In all my years of being a Spiderman fan, I have never heard him yell "ouch" when someone hits him with a stick :) The music rocked, though! Remember the TV show SWAT? Best music ever.
If I was bitten by a radioactive spider, this would be the "Spider-Man" powers that I would get. No bio webbing, no spidey sense, no enhanced speed & strength, just the ability to kinda climb walls at the same relative speed as an average person climbing a regular ladder.
@@davesmilingcoyote The Spidey that you see in this film has one of the most powerful Spider-Senses in the known multiverse. Depicted as full clairvoyance, his spider-sense can detect a robbery happening from several miles away.
That web effect! when he shoots web on them in the hallway, wow, that was great! I remember watching these in the 70's and being blown away. They hold up pretty well.
When I heard people saying that the Raimi Spidey was the first Spider Man movie I was confused but then I found out that the producers of the show released some episodes as theatrical versions only in some countries to make a quick buck In Puerto Rico we got 3 movies The Amazing Spider Man,Spider Man Strikes Back and Spider Man and the Challenge of the Dragon
When I was a 4 year old kid from Hong Kong who couldn’t speak English my Australian based cousins wanted to take me to go see Star Wars. I saw the poster to this Spider-Man movie and told them I wanted to see this. Unfortunately it was a coming soon poster so I was forced to watch Star Wars without a clue about what anyone was saying in the movie as I didn’t understand English. I saw Spider-Man on tv a few years later and loved it. I think I was 7 by that time.
Well, the truth is Hammond rarely wore the suit. Almost every scene with the Spider-Man in suit was a stunt double. Even if there were not stunts involved.
forget the action. 1.33 is some funky badass music! that drum beat is killer! Music is killer in this movie. even the theme tune is awesome. Wouldn't mind some of this music in the new Marvel spiderman!
By 1970s with a moderate budget standards, this is actually not bad at all. The stunt work is good. And having Spidey wave goodbye to the martial arts goons and the mobsters as he swings way is actually a very Spider-Man thing to do.

No real input from Marvel. CBS productions doing the best they could with what they had. And in-house disagreements causing problems upon the tone of the series. But again, it was on regular TV. No special high end cable network. So what the hell do people want. Just appreciate it for what it was. The closest thing to a real Spidey we ever saw. Not perfect by a long shot, but dammit it was a great attempt if nothing else.
but, Stan Lee WAS endorsing it...he was actually the Script Consultant for the Series!
@@coyotegaming4027 He just didn't like it being reality crime intrigue based like Kojak with superpowers vs being like whacko funny 60's Batman is how Stan wanted it. But outside crazy supervillians this show was close to the comics but for the origins keeping with Peter as an adult college guy vs high schooler somehow getting a job with the newspaper illogic.
FACTS
@@TheCrusher72 I would say if you haven't got the budget or creative input for a show like spiderman then don't bother making it. Otherwise it ends up like this. Even Stan lee hated it.
Film IS cgi
This is 100% authentic on how a person reacts to a spider. I broke it down for you guys.
0:15 Spider is creeping in your residence. You see a spider, grab the most unethical object to kill a spider with ( in this case a Kendo Practice Sword ), find the spider and 0:28 scream when you see it. The spider crawls and 0:55 you swing at it, missing. 1:03 Furniture is moved so you can keep sight of it. 1:15 Finally you corner it in a spot where you can actually kill it with your unethical choice of weaponry, you try to be careful and precise, wanting to make sure he will never exist to invade in your home ever again. 1:31 Your gut tells you it is time to end this spider. You swing, but just as you are about to land the perfect strike, he moves. 1:35 You watch as the spider crawls on the ceiling, helplessly watching him to make sure he doesn't starting easing his way down on top of you. He finally comes down and that is when you decide that you've had enough wasting your precious time to accurately kill it. 1:41 You start to swing and slam your weapon wildly at the spider in hopes of killing it. 1:53 At one point you keep your distance and throw your weapon at it in hopes it will land. But this is one agile spider; you miss and miss and miss and miss over and over again. 1:54 You may get lucky and actually graze him but now the spider is frantically fearful and crawling on the wall in hopes to elude you. 1:57 You almost hit a friend or loved in in your attempts to kill the spider. As it is fleeing, 2:15 you accidentally step into one of the spider's web strands face first, temporarily stunning you as you spit, gag and attempt to remove the webbing from your vision. 2:25 The Spider uses this distraction as it flees to the window and creeps into the tight corners where it is impossible to reach and swing your weapon without breaking the glass. This is when you decide you've had enough and you vow to kill this spider after evading your wrath several times. You just so happen to see it crawl outside and up towards the roof. You run upstairs, 2:49 go through your daughters bedroom window to the roof where you see the spider briefly relieved to have escaped. 2:57 You charge at it, swinging with all the rage you can muster only to miss several more times due to the unstable angle and material of the roof beneath your feet. 3:33 The spider finally says to itself, "F*ck it, I'm outta here." It crawls to the edge of the roof, streaming a web into the air for the wind to pick up and carry it away from your presence. But before it does however, 3:42 it waves goodbye to you in a mocking fashion before flying away, leaving you heaving and gritting your teeth with all the hate and rage, knowing full well the spider had bested you and that you meet again in the coming days when you are casually doing your business in the bathroom, newspaper in hand and he will crawl beside your feet, thus sparking round 2 of this rivalry.
All of that and you only have 12 likes, life aint fair
Lmao
you must be scenario writer
Can’t be asked to read but nice 👍🏻
This is fantastic
Pretty fun, old-school action and effects. I find it kind of funny, though, that Spidey was so quiet throughout the whole thing. Isn't he usually wisecracking while he fights? Something like...
"Sorry for interrupting your kung-fu movie!"
"No one's making sushi out of this spider!
"Good luck earning your yellow belts, guys!"
+ReviveGuyv excucese me , was Hammond allowed to " punch" or "kick" in the gut?
+Sister Gothel why are`nt you answering?
I think they forgot to dub those in...
"Oh jeez, this is what I get for fighting the Yakuza during their kendo class!"
This version of Spidey never spoke a single word, if I remember correctly. No idea why.
Nicholas Hammond the only actor who actually bore a comic accurate resemblance to Peter Parker with the exception of the hair.
The music is on point here
This whole spiderman movie trumps the other ones. Not because it had Nicholas Hammond from The sound of music in it, Not because of Thayer david from rocky, not because of this epic fight scene....But because of that funky music!
The music nails it!!!!
...
HAH! I love this fight scene. Brings back so many memories. Wish they'd put these seasons on dvd with bonus features.
This came out in the '70s we were in total AWWW. and the stunts were REAL No CGI
Still looks good! Almost 50 years later!
Still loved this series so much. The dragons challenge is one of my fave nostalgic movies ever.
I watched this. I must have been around 5 years old. At the time it was fantastic for kids, and the stunt work was amazing. That web swing at the end...
2:14 "Here let me just toss this web onto ya. I just picked it up from the halloween party store"
😅😅😅
Hey this was modern special effects when I watched it when it first came on television ☕
@@LW-tt1nl back in the 19th Century? Please tell us great great grandad!
@@padraicloingsigh421 lol
that was a different kind of web ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If you look closely you can see they are just acting its not a real fight
RetroRanting you have to swear?? Not cool bro
RetroRanting being a jerk isnt my thing
youre aware that you mispelled "youre" right?
Warz Insane sorry didnt know you had a bad english teacher
Nah, this is real.
I've got PTSD now.
Another thing, Watch the bald guy on the left at 1:57 flinch when the guy in the centre raises his kendo stick.
They're all bald, just say the dude in the left
WISKYgaming One of em's got hair.
Stick-dodging bitch
LFMAO
@@WISKYgaming lol
There were always going to be two ways this could go:
1. Actually pretty good for its time,
and
2. Ridiculous.
I like to think that it's actually pretty good.
As a sidenote: I remember watching this Spiderman as it was already on reruns when growing up in the 80s.
I know it's kind of corny, but for its day, this was actually not bad for TV. Especially with that building leap stunt at the end. That was legit!
The web “net”…simple yet elegant
The only reason this Spider-Man wasn't in the Spiderverse movie is because he would've been too powerful, they would've needed a whole new narrative just for him.
Honestly, a version of Spider-Man that didn't have powers, but just ran around in a suit would've been a great addition.
If you think about it, it really is. No over-the-top acrobatics, no CGI, just folks doing great T.V.
What makes it funny is the music in the background with the guitar solo!😂😂
I love how spider-man waves at them like he was saying goodbye guys see you in the next episode and then he flys away
I now understand why this spiderman is amazing cause it doesn’t have MJ.
In one of the multiverse universes, MJ is Michael Jackson and he and Spider Man have an 8-legged baby
Creators of show: We are making a new Spider-Man show!
Stan Lee: Great! What super villains are you going to use?
Creators of show: Ugh... There were super villains?
Marvel charged them for every preexisting character they used
And there’s that plus budget
@@makeitthrough_ damn you autocorrect
@@s.nifrum4580
True. CBS and Columbia didn’t have a choice with the budget that they had.
I found a copy of this in the 90s when I was in college. Used to watch the show every week in the 70s with my grandpa. Popped this on the TV during a party, and many people didn't know what it was, but EVERYONE loved it!
real footage of the amazing spiderman
that little wave had me dying lmao
İ find it quite amazing that Nicholas's Spiderman doesn't rely on his spider webs. But is more stealth, and defensive. Only attacking when the assaulter attacks (for the most part.)
In all my years of being a Spiderman fan, I have never heard him yell "ouch" when someone hits him with a stick :) The music rocked, though! Remember the TV show SWAT? Best music ever.
Perfect, much more better than weird CGI effects...
NGL, that wall crawling is a pretty cool effect.
New PS4 Spiderman looks great.
If I was bitten by a radioactive spider, this would be the "Spider-Man" powers that I would get.
No bio webbing, no spidey sense, no enhanced speed & strength, just the ability to kinda climb walls at the same relative speed as an average person climbing a regular ladder.
@@davesmilingcoyote The Spidey that you see in this film has one of the most powerful Spider-Senses in the known multiverse. Depicted as full clairvoyance, his spider-sense can detect a robbery happening from several miles away.
The soundtrack is just spot on! Ahhhh the nostalgia.
Purely nothing but smiles on my face watching this! Brings me back to my childhood!! 🫡
The music is terrific
That web effect! when he shoots web on them in the hallway, wow, that was great! I remember watching these in the 70's and being blown away. They hold up pretty well.
When you go so deep into the comments you can't go back.
True that...lol
I never liked people saying that sam raimi made the first spider man movie. My mom used to rent me this movie from blockbuster good times ❤❤❤
When I heard people saying that the Raimi Spidey was the first Spider Man movie I was confused but then I found out that the producers of the show released some episodes as theatrical versions only in some countries to make a quick buck
In Puerto Rico we got 3 movies
The Amazing Spider Man,Spider Man Strikes Back and Spider Man and the Challenge of the Dragon
This was great back in the day. Loved it.
1:41-1:53 is genuinely good fight choreography and editing for the time. The rest is just amusing.
Love the music. Proper Blaxpliotation funk and full of wah wah pedals and everything:)
3:47 wow they got go pro's back in the day =D
Yup we people shure miss the 70s 😀
U werent even born then!!! if you did you'd probably be 90!!
He'd be 39 not 90
@@wowzers8975 so now he'd be about what..127, since you posted this 8 years ago.
This and Adam West Batman were my favorite TV hero shows as a kid in the 70s
When I was a 4 year old kid from Hong Kong who couldn’t speak English my Australian based cousins wanted to take me to go see Star Wars. I saw the poster to this Spider-Man movie and told them I wanted to see this. Unfortunately it was a coming soon poster so I was forced to watch Star Wars without a clue about what anyone was saying in the movie as I didn’t understand English. I saw Spider-Man on tv a few years later and loved it. I think I was 7 by that time.
It nice to know some fans like this version of Spiderman I grew up watching this as a kid and to this day it’s still one my favourites of Spiderman.
I don't think they were aiming to make this a good fight scene, but rather show off "Hey! Fucking Spider-man! Look, he's climbing on the ceiling!"
Nicholas Hammond the classic Spider-Man. My Star
Yeah, I saw this when I was 5 or so, and loved it. AndI love how hard they tried.
Awesome how Hammond played him. Always crouching and creeping forward like a real spider...
Well, the truth is Hammond rarely wore the suit. Almost every scene with the Spider-Man in suit was a stunt double. Even if there were not stunts involved.
@trhansen3244 yes, maybe the stunt doubles were imitating Hammond's body moves though...?
forget the action. 1.33 is some funky badass music! that drum beat is killer! Music is killer in this movie. even the theme tune is awesome. Wouldn't mind some of this music in the new Marvel spiderman!
By 1970s with a moderate budget standards, this is actually not bad at all. The stunt work is good.
And having Spidey wave goodbye to the martial arts goons and the mobsters as he swings way is actually a very Spider-Man thing to do.
I know what you mean. When he did that little wave, I immediately thought of an old Steve Ditko comic!
