Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge (1981)

i must have seen a different film!!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Two episodes of the TV series "Spider Man" edited together and released as a feature. Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge although for me at least is not as good as Spider-Man Strikes Back i think it was still a very cool TV Movie with 2 episodes edited together that is 1h and 32 minutes of pure fun and entertainment and Nicholas Hammond did once again a really great job with the positives being definitely him and the story was pretty interesting. Also the suit looks different this time and i really liked the more darker red which really made it even cooler but once again the villains were indeed forgettable but some of the action sequences, the performances and the overall show was pretty cool.

This is a brilliant Spider-Man movie almost on par with Spider-Man Strikes Back (which wasn't actually a movie but two episodes given a theatrical release years back).(POSSIBLE SPOILERS) The story is about some unscrupulous businessman trying to bump off an important Chinese official in order to get himself a lucrative contract to build a steel mill. The Chinese official is in New York and it is arranged for some villains to kill him. But they hadn't counted on Spider-Man.There were no super villains in this series which was a good thing because it made the whole thing more believable. Parker (played very well by Nicholas Hammond)changes into Spider-Man loads of times in this movie and really goes into action. Spider-Man suffers quite a bit in this film (he is shot twice) and it's also great to see Parker doing his detective routine in this film.If that's not enough there's plenty of action, a beautiful lady to accompany Parker and some quite nice scenery throughout. This film makes a great gift for any fan of Spider-Man. If you've watched the 2002 film then watch this as well because you won't be disappointed.

After this two part episode, the series was givin the ax. This was the most exciting one. Spider-Man really takes a few beatings in this one, he gets called a coward, he also gets shot at. Really not a good day to be super-hero. The story is about Peter Parker/Spider-Man goes to Hong Gong, In hopes to flush out some bad guys who is trying to kill a rich but nice old Chinese man. I still don't think Nicholas Hammond looked the part of Peter Parker, but he plays it well non the less. This one was the best, not a single flaw or pot hole. It had great action and great suspence. Really a classic Spider-Man.

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!
