Now those are some great special effects! But why did he beat up those two guys in the freeze frame (I think what they're saying is "Nice tits, babe")? I thought that was fairly normal for Italy.

I'm not sure if a made-for-YouTube video is eligible for this forum. And this one is obviously trying to be bad. I admit I laughed though. And I'm kind of fond of the "Chad Vader, Darth Vader's Younger Brother" series.

It's an actual movie, it just premiered on YouTube.

It may be quite a bit longer than the YouTube clip although I'm not sure. I haven't really researched it, but just because something was made for YouTube doesn't mean it shouldn't be shown here. Lots of movies were released in theaters first, some went straight to DVD, some went straight to VHS and not to DVD, others were never released as Region 1 DVDs. So I don't think the release format matters.

I agree, it's a perfectly valid movie for this forum.

I don't get the youtube release.  These guys apparently spent $15,000 making this, and they give it away for free?  They're making a little of their money back on t-shirt sales, but I hope they are planning to put out a full-featured DVD.  I like it when artists get piad for their work.

There are 10 parts to this film.  And it isn't complete yet.
I've seen them all and it is pretty good.    
My favorite part is in episode 8 when Italian Spiderman is going nuts firing that machine gun and Captain Maximum is hiding behind a table.  When he runs out of ammo he hurls the gun at Maximum's head and misses.
Or when Captain Maximum shoots Professor Bernardi 15 times with a 6 shot revolver.

Classic!

And here I was feeling all proud of myself that I was actually able to make out the italian in that trailer (after he punches out the "nice tits" guys and punches her, he yells "Make me a macchiato!" at her). Obviously there's a dubbed or subtitled version out there and I could have saved the effort.
