The Amazing Spiderman (1979) "The Chinese Web"

The grand finale sequence to the Amazing Spiderman 1970's television series episode: "The Chinese Web" set in Hong Kong. Starring Nicholas Hammond as Peter Parker/Spiderman. ;)

[@stevephlyer]

They really went to Hong Kong to film this episode! Must have had a big budget for the era.

I like this series for its realism and earthiness without CGI, Fred Waugh is the highlight of this tv series, his stunts are great, he deserves absolute respect, I'm sorry that modern fans nitpick and ridicule him.

[@solitaire8585]

The show was one of my favorites when I was a kid growing up outside of Boston, and they would replay it on channel 56 occasionally on Saturdays. Fred Waugh was a trailblazer in the stunt community. Fun fact, he played a construction worker Dennis Quaid tries to save during his first dream interaction in Dreamscape, where I believe he was also the stunt coordinator

The great thing about these old shows is that the actors and everyone involved took it seriously. It wasn't intended to be funny, it just turned out to be funny. You never see that anymore, it's all forced humor and it's lame.

[@Gameater82]

I agree. Modern movies Marvel look like a fucking clown, trying to be sometimes serious.

[@vinvass2674]

It was played straight but was camp and hammy. The actors knew that, and playing it straight made it work. Lois and Clark was probably the last superhero show to be done this way - and it's why villains like John Shea's version of Lex Luthor are so great. You can well imagine Hasselhoff, a few years younger than when he did Knight Rider, playing Peter Parker instead of Nicholas Hammond and it working the same way. Same as if you imagine Adam West playing Captain Kirk and Shatner playing Bruce Wayne. Or Ron Ely playing either of those roles while West or Shatner played Tarzan.
