The Great Spider-Man Suit Heist

During the filming of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2002 four very expensive Spider-Man suits made specifically for Tobey Maguire went missing. Valued $200,000 in total it led to Sony offering up a massive reward and an international hunt for the culprit. Thanks for watching!

When asked how he got the suits, Gustafson responded: "I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get these."

[@wesleypatterson2989]

"HA! He said it! He said the thing!"

[@bluesdjben]

"The internet's amazing -- and terrifying! I shouldn't have found this!" Laughed so hard at that.

[@bluesdjben]

Also, can't wait for Japanese Spider-Man!

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

I know we're all mostly here for the jokes because Mr. Sunday Movies is a comedy channel in superhero cosplay, but I would genuinely love to see more videos documenting stuff like this. James is good at writing and narrating them and I didn't know this at all before.

[@ArchangelExile]

Interesting... 🤔

[@JacobRavenglass]

“Comedy channel in superhero cosplay”. That is such an apt description of Mr. Sunday/Weekly Planet, I will now use that from now on. Thank you.✌️

[@note_finger]

did you forget that mr sunday movies covered actual movies rather than superhero shit? its obvious they're sell outs, and only care about money and views.

[@HES10-f2q]

Yeah I love these videos. The shadow of the empire video is my favorite video on this channel.

[@idrathernot8459]

Yeah I would be really into that too.

[@winkletsdad]

What a rollercoaster. I laughed. I cried. Better than Cats!

[@LiveHedgehog]

I’ve just seen The Great Spider-Man Suit Heist and nothing prepares you for this. I cheered, I shouted, I fist-pumped the air, I cried, I stood and cheered. It’s absolutely everything you hoped it was going to be.

[@munohlow]

I had Shrekingly good time

[@hamshankscps1049]

That's not a very high bar lol

[@trevorghalt1881]

This has Batman, Japanese Spider-Man and American Spider-Man all wrapped into it, this is juicy

[@dustinakadustin]

Crossover of the century.

[@joecope9935]

And the Terminator! If they made a movie out of it, they could all team up to fight the machine!

[@HisNameWasCrazy]

Seeing how intricate and expensive those suits are really makes it seem even more believable that a teenager with no money could make one in his bedroom.

[@MrBobthened]

Lol true. They should really look like a red version of the Kickass suit.

[@skepticalbadger]

@@MrBobthened Like the first suit from the Raimi movies, you mean?

[@AZOMBIERYO]

@Lamashtar cringe

[@spartanB0292]

@Lamashtar I think the "no money" bit is the real limiter here

[@npcimknot958]

Ya but lets be honest.. then spiderman wouldn’t be that popular lol. The suit is what really makes spidey so popular lol cause its beautiful lol

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

Moral of the story: Don't get married. Stay alone and keep your spiderman costume.

[@TheLegoJungle]

Don your spider man costume. That way, everybody will think you’re spiderman, instead of a guy who _stole_ a spiderman costume.

[@futuramayeah]

he definitenately needed a secret closet with the costumes, somewhere his wife then would never have looked, also a good place for his porn and sex dolls, wearing said stolen costumes

[@AzayBae]

@@futuramayeah The only issue with that is if the day ever came where he had to ask, "where is my super suit!?"

Here here! Bitter ex wives always be snitching on their men after

[@jarred1k579]

This movie series would set the standard for how costume and prop makers would made Spider-Man outfits in today’s cosplay community

[@yjinkscrawler]

I feel like I just listened to a Do Go On mini report... and I LOVED IT. I love wee stories like this, the Howard the Duck Switcheroo, and all that. PLEASE do more if you can.

[@ashleytuchin7693]

Actually, if you'll remember correctly, J. Jonah Jameson bought one of those suits fair and square from a grbage man, but then that menace Spider-Man swung in and stole it.

[@seanmackey643]

Yes so glad you included extra details about how the suit was made, that made this so much more impactful. More videos like this too please!

[@mick55555]

"No matter how much you like Spider-Man, you don't need four costumes" Cosplayers: "Hold up..."

[@joecope9935]

Peter Parker from Spiderverse would disagree.... 😉

[@simonoosthuizen184]

Also funny because I know for a fact that James' family owns atleast 4 Spiderman costumes 😂 (sorry I go through stages of revisiting a lot of Weekly planet content)

[@carlosromero3214]

I think this is the best video i have seen in the channel so far. The narrative, the suspense, all the information digging... Just fantastic, and the nordVPN sponsor joke was the cherry on top it completely got me

[@retromacman620]

The info on the suit at the beginning, wasn't too long at all! It was informative and lent context.

[@brucesimmons5517]

I expected a story of how James and Mason stole a Spider-Man suit. I'm extremely disappointed that wasn't the case. Just kidding of course! That was a great and informative video!

[@eastvandb]

They won't give away those secrets!

[@dustinakadustin]

James' real name... Jeffrey Glenn Gustafson, this video is him asking to be forgiven having since done his time for his crime.

[@olivergraystone]

"Is this a kids movie" absolutely killed me 🤣

[@HistoryBluff137]

The hard work of Mr. Sunday Movies is truly impressive. NOT referring to this expertly researched video on Spider-Man's suit BUT the metaphorical & literal hoops he's jumping through to AVOID talking about beloved NEW GOBLIN

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

"I'm trying to craft a narrative here!" Exactly! Specifically a narrative that is over 10 minutes in video form!

[@mrsundaymovies]

The cut off is now 8 minutes but this guy gets it

[@TBAG]

wow what a cool story! cant believe i never heard it before. I actually wanted to buy this suit recently at an auction but then i realized it went for something like $50k - $100k lmao. either way this suit is incredible. good video :)

I love how each suit costs $50,000 in real life, but Peter Parker was able to make this in his bedroom 😂

[@HaiDouzo]

Whoa. I know (or knew) Jeff. I worked in the prop collecting industry at an auction house and he's still very involved with collecting. He and his son were really into horror props. I had no idea about Jeff's reputation until another coworker filled me in on his history. It always kind of blew my mind he was still trusted after that.

ALSO VERY GOOD EDITING. GOOD EDITING LAURENCE.

As someone who vaguely knew about this story its super satisfying that you actually had answers and conclusions to present instead of doing the infamous "in the end we may never know" you and Maso always talk about lmao good on ya 👏🏾💯

[@12thMandalorian]

This was really interesting mini documentary, we need more Mr Sunday Documentaries

[@theeverythingshow9057]

Yes we do

[@IveGotAMatch]

That Express VPN fake out was fantastic. Bravo!

[@kingfield99]

When I was a kid back in the early 80's my best friend's grandad was a security guard at the BBC at he often 'acquired' old props and bits of costume from shows like Dr Who, Blake's & etc for his grandson. At the time I think he told us they he'd retrieved them from skips after they'd been dumped by the productions but in hindsight, well who knows....

[@samwatson-tayler2805]

Of course what James doesn't tell us is that Gustafson stole them at the behest of Nick Mason, for reasons unknown.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

I liked the detail on the suits! A lovely, well-crafted wee romp through the heady mists of the early 2000s.

[@maxcampbellmusic]

Great video! Would love to see more of this narrative-type format.

[@jr_xtreme8940]

The fake sponsor plug bit got me laughing my ass off. I was just bout to skip thru inspite of how he cleverly worked it in; till I realized he was f**king with us

[@awesomepossumdude]

I prefer the duo with Maso ofc, but these solo vids come off as such fantastically psychotic rollercoasters and have such a freakish charm of theyre own 5 STARS *****

[@Absurdword]

Excellent writing, excellent research, excellent presentation, excellent editing! Would love to see more like this! The vpn gag had me immediately skipping and I was confused at how much video I missed and had to go back 😅💀

[@Adua2000]

I loved the background info on the suit. It was comprehensive and really interesting, and I for one would watch an entire video on that topic. Keep up the good work!

[@MichaelMolina0390]

I remember my dad telling me about the stolen suit decades ago before the movie released as it was news at the time. I always wondered what had happened to those suits!

[@clemensprod.5756]

Never heard these stories before. This was great. Thanks!

Loved hearing about the making of the suit, James! Also the non-existant vpn sponsorship.

Sounds like a movie that Sony needs to make to expand their Spider-Verse!

And what’s the secret identity of the famous Spider-Man villain Corn-of-Coblin? Jeffrey Glenn Gustafson!

[@marcbaker3947]

Thanks Mr Sunday Movies! Great video as always. I’m a huge fan of your regular true crime podcast ‘The Weekly Planet’ and I encourage everyone to check it.

[@SpiritLife]

Imagine if the Corn-of-Coblin suit has been heisted!

[@JosephLachh]

Because of all the parodies by "The Human Spider," I thought this was going to be a parody about Mr. Jameson doing a heist for the Spiderman suit.

[@linkdk59]

I had never heard this before! Now that's some good Spider-Man facts

[@aidanshea5942]

I was genuinely surprised by the double cross on the sponsorship

[@unmeshl.6708]

I was like, no way I can watch something where James and Mason aren't playing off each other. But James is so funny.

The ridiculous thing is you can now get movie quality suits for 1% of the 2001 cost, but made basically the same way.

[@manicassassin4542]

I honestly thought i was THE ONLY person to know about this. For years i felt alone. But then ol sunday movies here pops in and like chad kroeger ontop a building. Came in and the people said that a hero could save us. And sunday movies said. Im not gonna stand here and wait...

The eyes for the older design are the best maguire eyes, fight me

[@roguefrogger5823]

I remember when all this happened. It was all over the news for a couple years. In retrospect Sony should thank them because it gave them a ton of free publicity. So much in fact that the general public believed it was a PR stunt until the people involved were arrested 😂

[@thrillcollectors]

Damn, how did I miss this video when it came up? This is by far my favorite Spidey suit to ever Grace, the big screen. And here is a video from the Almighty, Mr. Sunday movies detailing both how it was made and the wacky story that followed. today is a good day.

You 100% channeled Sam Peterson's Confessions of the Idiots storytelling method at 4.55 and I am here for it

The real theft was the screen time they stole from Venom, Sandman, and New Goblin by squeezing all 3 of them in the same movie. 🤣

The odd thing about the suits made for these films is that they were TOO good. It kinda took the viewer out of the film when this down on his luck teenager suddenly has this incredible looking suit.

You say the wheelbarrow theft story isn’t true but that scenario basically played out at my old warehouse

[@mrsundaymovies]

With wheelbarrows or a different thing?

[@cz.gazz.]

@@mrsundaymovies the blokes used wheelbarrows from one client to smuggle out lawnmowers from another client, stacking their utes in the process and keeping the warehouse none the wiser (until, you know, the glaring shortage in stock was noticed and they checked the cams). It was quite the lawnmower-smuggling ring, even one of the supervisors was in on it

[@mrsundaymovies]

That's incredible and I love it

[@MrBcardinal35]

It was also unreported in the same heist that 1 Corn of Coblin suit also went missing, valued at $2,000,000 in total
