Video Review: Pink Lady's Great Motion Picture / Japanese Spider-Man (1978)
Posted on Monday, February 27, 2012
Mr. Mendo brings us two insane pieces of entertainment from 1978 Japan: First up, it's the one and only movie starring
Pink Lady, the singing duo famous for an NBC variety show that was one of the worst things ever shown on TV. In the movie, Pink Lady acts out a soap opera melodrama, helps an alien creature escape the circus, and teleports back in time to the Old West. After that, it's the
Japanese Spider-Man, which was made with Marvel Comics' blessing, even though this Spider-Man gets his powers from a guy from the planet Spider, not to mention his very own giant robot sidekick! Let's just say "WTF Japan Seriously" is not a recent phenomenon.
Special thanks to Jeffrey Branch, who supplied the DVD of the Pink Lady movie, and many of the images in the video. Please visit his site
