Finally! 5 years after its release on Youtube, Alrugo's classic camp-fest is complete and available to the public for free! I absolutely loved Italian Spiderman, Alrugo's film parody of obscure foreign action/adventure films prevalent in the 60's, 70's and 80's. The film plays off of the incredibly common misappropriation of common American 'superheroes' in foreign movies, including the Turkish interpretation of Star Wars, or the absolutely bizarre Japanese adaptations of Spiderman and the Ninja Turtles. There's countless other examples, but I'd recommend checking out our 70 bootleg movie posters to get a visual taste of how things get misinterpreted.
As a result of the fun bootleg theme Alrugo decided to go with, we got a motorcycle driving, chain smoking fat Spiderman with a taste for women and suspense. The now defunct indie outfit (Now known as Dinosaur Worldwide) went on to create the exploitation-tastic Danger 5 series and are currently working on other projects we're looking forward to. Check out the offical poster after the break!
