Despite being a fan-film, this is the earliest live-action film of Spider-Man ever produced.
This is the last amateur film from Donald F. Glut, as they had got him enough attention that he was able to start working professionally as a writer and, later, director.
William G. Obbagy has a cameo role as a bystander.
"Spider-Man" was not only Glut's last superhero movie, but it was also Glut's last amateur film of any kind.
"Spider-Man" features a costume Glut had worn at the World Con held in Cleveland and which Glut had hoped might sell a television show Glut was pitching to Stan Lee, one of Spider-Man's creators.
