Trivia
This was originally a two-part episode of the TV series L'homme-araignée (1977) called "The Chinese Web". After the series was canceled in 1979, the two parts were edited together and released as a feature.

Goofs
When Emily informs Peter from in the helicopter about the bad guys' van, she flubs her line, saying "the only thing that's near you that moves," before quickly correcting herself and saying "that's moving away from you is that van that just passed you."

Alternate versions
UK video version uses the title sequence from the TV series, whereas the version shown in cinemas used the title sequence from Spider-Man Strikes Back.

Connections
Edited from L'homme-araignée: The Chinese Web: Part 1 (1979)

Fantastic...in a way....

While not as good as Spider-Man Strikes Back (1978), this is amusing stuff, with some extremely cool fight scenes and painful sound effects. Nicolas Hammond finally gets a decent(ish) haircut, and he goes to Japan to battle a couple of low-rent kung fu types. the theme tune is great, and Spidey himself is ridiculously funky. Go on, watch it - you know you want to!
