User Reviews

family fun....painful for some to watch

Shot partially in HONG KONG this episode uses asian intrigue to tell a tale that was unusual from most in the SPIDER MAN tv series. People find this show today at times painful to watch, yet it is good clean family fun. I supose in retrospect it is indicitive of the "cookie cutter" system in place at the time it was made. The show was aimed at kids when it was made in the 1970's yet the season run of the show was brutally short.
