Shut your mouth Pussycat



Italian Spiderman
YouTube Channel: HERE



Italian Spiderman is just one of those things that belongs on the Internet, it just seems specially made for people to just watch and share with friends. This hilarious send up of Spiderman and the Italian movie culture is brilliant. This chain smoking, overweight moustached machismo lady killer re-imagining is outrageously funny. The whole idea was a joke on how foreign countries would misappropriate or misinterpret American Pop Culture.

Italian Spiderman has different powers then the normal Spiderman, for example he can Teleport, Summon Penguins, force chickens to lay eggs or cigarettes on command and has irresistible sex appeal that drives the ladies wild. All this was created with the idea in mind that this was a Long lost Italian film from the 1960s found in the wreckage of a sunken cargo ship.

The original trailer was made by a bunch of Flinders University Student from Adelaide for a class film project. Once they had completed the project the video made its way onto YouTube where it received a large following online, seeing this the South Australian Film Corporation began funding the Students who formed Alguro entertainment and commissioned them to make 10 short episodes of Italian Spiderman.

Even though Alguro entertainment is no more their Legacy lives on through Italian Spiderman.
