Are you a fan of tokusatsu? If you appreciate the old classic Godzilla films, where Godzilla is played by a dude in a rubber lizard suit, or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, then you, friend, are all over tokusatsu.

What Is the 1978 Japanese 'Spider-Man' Movie About? Spider-Man comes by its lunacy honestly, springing from the bats**t crazy Japanese TV series of the same name. The series consisted of 41 episodes that aired between May 1978 and March 1979, and the film fits in between episodes 10 and 11 of that series. The origin of the hero remains unchanged, where a young man gets bitten by a radioactive spider. Not! In fact, the origin of Spider-Man as recounted in the series is wildly bizarre.
The 1978 Japanese 'Spider-Man' Movie Delivers... But We're Not Sure What Takuya wakes up and hears his sister Shinko screaming and runs to find that Shinko and his little brother, Takuji , are being attacked by Ninders, the foot soldiers of the Iron Cross Army. The attackers flee, but can't escape Takuya's alter-ego, Spider-Man. Having changed into the hero, Takuya dispenses them easily. He returns home, only to find that his brother and sister are nowhere to be found.
'Spider-Man' Film Ends With a Giant Robot/Kaiju Battle! Spider-Man, shockingly, survives, and swims to the ship undetected. Meanwhile, Amazoness calls for the mysterious fish creature, Sea Devil, and warns Mamiya that Sea Devil will destroy an industrial complex nearby unless he surrenders Spider-Man's identity. Just then, Spider-Man appears over the boat, flying in his Spider Machine GP-7 . He jumps out of the car — you can see him literally jump out of the car.
