''Italian Spiderman'' is a [[AffectionateParody parody]] of foreign knockoffs of American superheroes; its name is inspired by existing nicknames for such things as ''[[Film/TheManWhoSavesTheWorld Turkish Star Wars]]'' and ''Italian Batman''. (Though it should be mentioned that in this case, it's accurate. His name is Italian Spiderman.) It began as a [[RealTrailerFakeMovie trailer for a nonexistent film]], made by Australian Creator/DarioRusso for his senior finals. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhHhXukovMU&feature=channel_page Uploaded to Youtube in November 2007,]] it became a cult hit and was expanded into ten short films.

* InNameOnly: Like many of the genuine foreign rip-offs it parodies, ''Italian Spiderman'' bears absolutely zero similarities to the Marvel comic book hero. The closest thing to any of American Spider-Man's powers is Italian Spiderman's [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}-esue ability to communicate with tarantulas.]]

renamed to Clone Angst


The plot involves an asteroid falling to earth. It is experimented on by Professor Bernardi, who develops the [[CloningBlues power of cloning]] from it. He gives it to Italian Spiderman, an overweight [[SmokingIsCool chain smoking]] brute, for safekeeping from the evil Captain Maximum. What follows are a series of chases, brawls, gunfights, and a [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking surfing contest]], none of which have much to do with anything.

Licensed Sexist now redirects to Politically Incorrect Hero, plus that trope is already on the index, so it doesn't need to be here in duplicate.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: During the surf-off, Captain Maximum sends two mooks to beat up Italian Spiderman, but he has an ace up his sleeve: "I summon ''Penguini!''"



* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Italian Spiderman has SuperStrength, {{Flight}}, teleportation, mind control, [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin summoning]], [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever colossal growth]], and can throw his moustache like a boomerang.
