Episode name:
The Deadly Dust (Part 1)

Description:
In this first (and Only American) Live-Action TV Series of ”Spider-man”, starring Nicholas Hammond (from ”the Sound of Music”) in the title role, Spidey still gets a few good bearhugs in some of the 13 episodes.


One of Mr White’s two henchmen, the big one called Angel, grabs Spider-Man from behind and holds him up good and tight.


”The Deadly Dust” saw video release as a ”movie version” in the 1980s by CBS/Fox/Playhouse, and in the late 1990s by Rhino Home Video. Also released theatrically (and on videotape) in Europe under the title ”Spider-Man Strikes Back (1978)”.

Link #1 has ”Deadly Dust” Clips at 1:38.

Link #2 shows how I found out about this bearhug, but you can’t take these particular images or text without written permission from them.

Link #3 is the actual episode, and the bearhug appears at 8:08 in the last minute and a half towards the end of the episode. Has the same shot duration as the ”clips”.



* There is a Japanese Live-Action Spider-man TV Series

Plot:
Upset that their professor has brought a small amount of plutonium onto campus in order to give a class demonstration, three University students decide to steal the plutonium and build a bomb in order to illustrate the dangers of nuclear power. However, the international businessmen and arms dealer named Mr. White has his henchmen steal the plutonium so that he can detonate it in Los Angeles, California where President Jimmy Carter will be giving a campaign speech.
