Why It Crackles

Show Details

This could be the greatest superhero movie ever made.

- They used 35 Spidey costumes during the filming. That’s a lot of spandex.

- Many of the shots with Spider-Man web slinging were made identical to the first Spider-Man cartoon TV series, aired in 1967. This is especially apparent during the final slinging scene, where Spider-Man swings off the screen in like manner to the way the he did at the end of every episode of the show's first season.

- The battle with Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man along the side of a building is a homage to an episode of the 1967 Spider-Man TV show episode, "The Terrible Triumph of Doctor Octopus."

- It's been rumored that creator Stan Lee has said that Doctor Octopus is one of his favorite Spider-Man villains. It's definately one of ours.

- The bank used in this film where Spidey and Ock have the big fight scene was the same bank used in Police Academy 6: City Under Siege.
