Could've been a classic from the looks of things.

I'm not quite sure what to think about that. It was 1975 so who knows what it might have been. Regardless just how creepy does that DD look!

I do, and it's: "RUN AWAY!  RUN AWAY!".  Being pouted at by Cher in a leotard is no way to start your morning.

It looks like something from a Hawkwind gig. That 'Daredevil' is the stuff of nightmares.

I love that Daredevil doesn't wear a mask, just paints his face. Cos, being blind, that's always going to turn out well...

You ever notice that everyone who believes in creationism looks really unevolved? Eyes real close together, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day." Yeah, looks like he rushed it.

I would say that the world of TV dodged a bullet there.

Doesn't surprise me to see crap like that. Boy, they really shat on us Marvel comic fans in the 70s in terms of dodgy films and tv: Captain America, Spider-Man, Hulk/Thor pilot etc. Never saw the Doctor Strange one. I did enjoy Hulk though I knew it wasn't really Hulk (Bill Bixby was great though).

Was the crap Spider-Man film a tv series that was shown as a movie or did I imagine that?
