Italian Spiderman!


[Transcript: Lots of shit in Italian.]

This is one of the best parodies I've seen on YouTube—and the joke is carried through brilliantly in the video description: "Unearthed for the first time in 43 years and lovingly restored at Maxischermo Studios Milan, this rare theatrical trailer for the 1964 Italian classic 'Italian Spiderman' is a real treat. Featuring Franco Franchetti of 'Mondo Sexo' fame in his last ever role before being killed in a spear fishing accident in 1965. Director, Gianfranco Gatti, reminisces on 'Italian Spiderman'; 'I have made some mistakes in my life...bad, bad mistakes'."

From the makers of The Time That Time Forgot.

H/T to Chris, where this exchange in comments totally cracked me up:

Richard says: He's a much better crime fighter than, say, the Polish Batman, Danish Aquaman or the Norweigan Wolverine, that's for sure!!

AeC says: Yes, but he lacks the inner turmoil of the Soviet Captain America.
