Where to begin with this? The moustache? The beer belly? The fact that he fights crime and plays every instrument to his theme music? Just watch and enjoy.
Unearthed for the first time in 43 years and lovingly restored at Maxischermo Studios Milan, this rare theatrical trailer for the 1964 Italian classic ‘Italian Spiderman’ is a real treat. Featuring Franco Franchetti of ‘Mondo Sexo’ fame in his last ever role before being killed in a spear fishing accident in 1965.

He’s a much better crime fighter than, say, the Polish Batman, Danish Aquaman or the Norweigan Wolverine, that’s for sure!!

Yes, but he lacks the inner turmoil of the Soviet Captain America.

Humorous but not 1964. Had they said 1968 or later I might buy it.

I’m with FlamingAtheist.
Hair THAT long in 1964?
Uh-uh.

Where to begin indeed, with those unable to detect a poorly executed spoof. A lesson in how being overburdened with irony actually makes you less smart.

You will all kneel before the might and majesty (ok, and girth) that is Italian Spiderman!
Italian Spiderman will thump you senseless, eat your last taco, drink your last beer, and take your sister out for an extremely cheap tapas dinner and never call her again!
Actione!

Awesum!!
Whoever wrote “poorly executed spoof” wouldn’t know genius if it punched him 10 inches from his nose.
I laughed.
