Along came a spider

a mechanical spider came along?

[@robertsanchez7374]

Like if the video of Kevin smith talking about john peters obsession with giant spiders brought you here lol

[@Bananadine]

it's cool that somebody had a camera handy during this historical event so that we could see it so many years later and then a second camera, so that we could see it being watched on a TV, just like in olden times

[@ongansan]

"Everyday with the fucking spider..."

[@madhouse5213]

Ongan-San fuckin john peters

[@AustinOnSugar]

Now all we need is a giant mechanical polar bear and my life is complete.

[@TooBigToHide]

I'd rather see a giant mechanical scorpion.

[@phillipwalling7470]

How about a giant mechanical dragon? Oh, wait....

[@christiankunze7351]

Well you got Ft.Freddy so I guess your life is completed

[@HectorJW2007]

Jon Peters says spiders are the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.

[@dreameater8548]

Jon Peters is obsessed with spiders

[@watchermark]

God bless you Jon Peters, after years of trying you finally got your giant spider.

[@jackager1584]

Kevin smith brought me here as well.

[@supercomputer0448]

I saw this when I was younger and wondered wich men in black this was.

[@LordofFear6970]

Haha awesome

[@MaxomosZ]

Thank John Peters fort this magnificent jewel of cinematography.

[@Ryan117S]

It's a Fagarian Snare Beast!

[@christofire0843]

*thanagarian (probably referring to hawkgirl's home planet)

[@Voidroamer]

lol no, watch the second video here: www.polygon.com/2014/7/25/5936623/Superman-Nic-Cage-Tim-Burton explains it all

[@benjotsumal6146]

Man I never new that Kevin Smith could be so funny.

[@rustyATV]

"That's a fine looking spider you have, there." I don't know why, but that's the only reason I re-watch this movie.

[@frostyguy1989]

Yep, pretty sure massive mechanical spiders roaming the Midwest before the invention of advanced robotics is historically accurate.

[@19mchlrdx]

You have me at a somewhat advantage, I didn't bring my fly swatter lmao what a comeback lol

[@Ultraway13]

Kevin Smith brought me here :D

[@joecamel6670]

***** strange world

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Dear Santa...

[@Yaunie13]

Had to look this up when I saw Kevin Smith talking about it

[@WhiteHorseBlackHat]

Spiders are the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.

[@TheLittleRussian2]

The huge mechanical spider: the most fierce killer in th scrap metal kingdom. I love it though. It's made of awesomantium.

[@AXELweirdTigger]

Jon Peters dream finally realized, because Kevin Smith could not make it happen with the Thanagarian Snare Beast

[@nicklochet9717]

kevin smith ftw!

[@gotenson3328]

Researchers have actually built a working twelve foot high steel hexapod spider that weighs over two tones and kind of resembles a van suspended by six spider legs.

[@Qwazin]

... like a giant fucking spider shows up.

[@kataisa3]

I had to see this for myself after listening to Kevin Smith talk about writing for Superman

[@legogojira7521]

Am I the only person in this world that loves this movie?

[@legogojira7521]

It was one of the first "grown up" movies I've ever seen.

[@freshgarbage1492]

Yes. You are.

[@shadownagato1616]

I watched it too and I like it

[@Servellion]

This movie had a freaking 80-foot tall steampunk spider.....why the fuck is this thing so hard to find on KZbin?! That's freaking awesome!

[@Ryansax1983]

The spider is the most savage killer in the animal kingdom.

[@FabianJacquin]

Jon Peters, is that you?

[@92chillwill]

All of a sudden......like a giant f***ing spider shows up hahaha

[@Andrew_Anderson_]

the spider is the only thing that reminds me of the movie

[@bmiltonb]

Who decided it was all right to have Will Smith star as James West? That makes about as much sense as having Bruce Willis play Shaft!

[@Jobbeybob]

...and a giant fucking spider shows up.

[@shimazou-the-cat]

I love this movie !!!!

[@chasicleso4963]

Good animated spider.

[@gelchert]

At least Peters is letting more intelligent people work on "Man of Steel."

[@thorodinson89]

if anyone checks out the new Metal Gear game Revengence with Raiden this is the metal gear at the end of the video. instantly thought of this....

[@mexicanotaku1]

"crap a robot spider!!!, lets just jog away"

[@ryanbreen8325]

No that's a polar bear. Spiders are the deadliest killers in the Insect Kingdom.

[@Artyom2122]

damn with that giant spider you don't know if you want to kill it with bug spray

[@haydenthecactus2004]

The Giant Enemy Spider

[@jumpmann3455]

then all of the sudden a fucking giant spider shows up

[@tadeorenearguelloecheverri6285]

the city must survive.

[@alexanderrahl482]

Look at them Federals runnin!

[@FirstBeige1]

I love this movie

[@grunt9075]

The giant enemy spider

[@happydragonpictures]

Look out! It's a GIANT JON PETERS! RUN!

[@DarthMurph21]

Where was this section in my american history book?

[@Heemiez]

@DarthMurph21 It's a Steampunk Sci-Fi movie. We should be so lucky.

[@SethMesser9500]

Well it wasn't going into the non-flying, non-suit wearing superman movie. Now wheres the fucking polar bear?

[@GMMReviews]

No is a Thagarian Snare Beast

[@anthonyladoucer8641]

Sound like t rex

[@alphakretin2387]

Metal Gear?

[@themrninja101]

GIANT ENEMY SPIDER

[@voicebox64]

@92chillwill Jon Peters, what the hell were you thinking?

[@dominodResearch]

Now in stranger things not a coincidence - occult reference

[@durablefighter]

"The Giant Fucking Spider"-Kevin Smith

[@MrSkinnynerd03]

It's a reference to Kevin Smith's story of writing Superman for Warner Brother. Give it a watch, and you'll understand the references everyone is spewing out.

[@williamou417]

President Ulysses S. Grant did NOT attempt the Golden Spike Ceremony in reality. Officials of the railway, Stanford and Durant, hit the spike. Not Grant

[@TheoBrixtonTheKid]

Then..out of nowhere....a fuckin huge spider appears...

[@nageljeuk]

@Buemmo do you know how the square-cube law even works? Basically, it means that if you enlarge an object by a factor x. The forces that work on it are magnified by x³, but the structural integrity of the object is only magnified by x². meaning that you can't just make objects larger and hope they are still stable. If you take a human being and make it 50 times larger but identical in every respect, it cannot support itself and bones will break under its own weight.

[@LordofFear6970]

If this could be built I wound drive this to work instead of a car

[@nageljeuk]

First thing I think when I see that thing is 'square-cube law'.

[@thecyperhornet]

Jon Peters.............................Spider

[@CorpusCallosal]

no no, a "giant fuckin' spider."

[@DivisibleByZer0]

Saw this movie as a kid and the only 3 things I remember are: 1. Will Smith in a Stetson 2. Trains 3. As much as Kevin Smith would lament The Giant Fucking Spider

[@gaelarmas8067]

Hasta yo me cague xd

[@EpicMrbilly]

wee need dragonborn giant dwarven spider is attacking!

[@CaptainBeefy]

watch kevin smith talk about superman lives and you'll get this scene

[@stephen78able]

ROFL same here, someone needs to get rid of the hairdresser gone movie producer and never let him touch another movie again. His ideas are beyond assanine, lol "spiders are the most dangerous insects in the insect kingdom". Seriously how do people like that become succesfull movie producers?

[@nageljeuk]

@Buemmo it's not about speed, it's about that it would collapse under its own weight. The configuration of moth arthropods is actually really, really, really, inefficient, no larger animals have their libs positioned at the side of their body but have their legs going downward because it's almost impossible to support your own weight otherwise, especially with such slender limbs..

[@timi0188]

The thargarian snerpy arrives

[@dollaron10]

Listen to Kevin Smith's Superman story. It will make this scene even more ridiculous.

[@bikermiennui9007]

Love 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 👉🔔

[@akalenda]

Too true!

[@SuperPatman96]

I think that's why this guy made this video lol

[@KR4FTW3RK]

@nageljeuk judging from my previous comment you should have expected that I know what the square cube law is. And i still think that its possible to build a machine of that size and it should still be able to move. Of course this machine is really (really) slow compared to a real spider but its still able to move itself

[@TedWinni]

and who are you too decide what make sence and what doesnt :)

[@scotttran974]

Have you watched big ass spider that spider is crazy

[@octavio4436]

Lucas bros brought me here

[@ConsoleKiller100]

yes, its a pretty good movie...

[@KR4FTW3RK]

@nageljeuk should still work- i mean real spiders move really fast and this one is just creeping along

[@nadeau]

There the most dangerous killers in the insect kingdom! No, John Peters spiders are not insects.

[@MLManimasters]

Why the Golden Spike Ceremony? WHY? Tarantula-bot is cool, though.

[@kruns11]

@ScareGnome so is it good or bad?

[@arldo100]

Esse filme é bom

[@tjb234567]

@Ryansax1983 I thought the polar bear was? :P

[@TazBoi01]

[@andrewgarvey6717]

[@WPOwens]

@bmiltonb hey, it worked in blazing saddles

[@HuffytheMagicDragon]

[@idk459]
