Along came a spider

[@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

[@robertsanchez7374]

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

[@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

[@watchermark]

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

[@HectorJW2007]

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

[@dreameater8548]

Jon Peters is obsessed with spiders

[@MaxomosZ]

Thank John Peters fort this magnificent jewel of cinematography.

[@supercomputer0448]

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

[@LordofFear6970]

Haha awesome

[@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.

[@jackager1584]

Kevin smith brought me here as well.

[@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.

[@frostyguy1989]

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

[@Qwazin]

... like a giant fucking spider shows up.

[@19mchlrdx]

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

[@Yaunie13]

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

[@AtomicKG84]

Spiders are the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.

[@Ultraway13]

Kevin Smith brought me here :D

[@joecamel6670]

***** strange world

[@TheLittleRussian2]

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

[@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.

[@FreshGarbage0]

Yes. You are.

[@shadownagato1616]

I watched it too and I like it

[@AXELweirdTigger]

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

[@shimazou-the-cat]

I love this movie !!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Dear Santa...

[@anthonyladoucer8641]

Sound like t rex

[@Ryansax1983]

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

[@92chillwill]

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

[@JonathanTheMaidenless]

Good animated spider.

[@kataisa3]

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

[@FabianJacquin]

Jon Peters, is that you?

[@Andrew_Anderson_]

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

[@FirstBeige1]

I love this movie

[@Artyom2122]

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

[@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!

[@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....

[@ryanbreen8325]

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

[@tadeorenearguelloecheverri6285]

the city must survive.

[@jumpmann3455]

then all of the sudden a fucking giant spider shows up

[@haydenthecactus2004]

The Giant Enemy Spider

[@Jobbeybob]

...and a giant fucking spider shows up.

[@DarthMurph21]

Where was this section in my american history book?

[@mexicanotaku1]

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

[@grunt9075]

The giant enemy spider

[@alexanderrahl482]

Look at them Federals runnin!

[@alphakretin2387]

Metal Gear?

[@voicebox64]

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

[@thecyperhornet]

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

[@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.

[@LordofFear6970]

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

[@Heemiez]

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

[@timi0188]

The thargarian snerpy arrives

[@GMMReviews]

No is a Thagarian Snare Beast

[@happydragonpictures]

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

[@TheoBrixtonTheKid]

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

[@durablefighter]

"The Giant Fucking Spider"-Kevin Smith

[@ConsoleKiller100]

yes, its a pretty good movie...

[@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.

[@nageljeuk]

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

[@SethMesser9500]

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

[@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

[@dominodResearch]

Now in stranger things not a coincidence - occult reference

[@akalenda]

Too true!

[@TechHug]

GIANT ENEMY SPIDER

[@gaelarmas8067]

Hasta yo me cague xd

[@bikermiennui9007]

Love 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰 👉🔔

[@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

[@EpicMrbilly]

wee need dragonborn giant dwarven spider is attacking!

[@scotttran974]

Have you watched big ass spider that spider is crazy

[@CorpusCallosal]

no no, a "giant fuckin' spider."

[@SuperPatman96]

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

[@TedWinni]

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

[@kruns11]

@ScareGnome so is it good or bad?

[@TazBoi01]

came here from minecraft style XD

[@CaptainBeefy]

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

[@octavio4436]

Lucas bros brought me here

[@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..

[@kickidii]

what movie

[@HuffytheMagicDragon]

I blame Von Essen and Die Spinne

[@WPOwens]

@bmiltonb hey, it worked in blazing saddles

[@tjb234567]

@Ryansax1983 I thought the polar bear was? :P

[@nadeau]

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

[@NatedogO33]

...And frightened Kevin Smith away

[@dollaron10]

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

[@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

[@KR4FTW3RK]

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

[@MLManimasters]

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

[@andrewgarvey6717]

Me too :-)))))))

[@idk459]

K SMITH

[@arldo100]

Esse filme é bom

[@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?

[@Titaniccaptin]

hahahahahahaha....... i can actually build that spider.

[@maurolemos2065]

Lindo 😊

[@funnynameman]

what is this movie named?

[@Pomme843]

Zaphod_Beeblebrox Wild Wild West

[@funnynameman]

Pomme843 thx man

[@Pomme843]

Zaphod_Beeblebrox np g

[@MioRaem]

Too bad for you they aren't insects.

[@KennyParkz]
