In most of the world - other than Turkey, as witnessed by 3 Giant Men and Japanese video games, as Spidey fought Joe Musashi in The Revenge of Shinobi - your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is, by definition of his heroics and nickname a hero. Not so in the world of Ghana bootleg cinema, as Rockson Film and Music Production created a movie that combined Peter Parker with the African myth of Ananse.
"In the olden days, Ananase the Spider was the wisest among all the beasts. Ananse's wife was called Akonori Yaa, his four children were called Ntekuma, Afodotwdotwe, Etekelekelen and Naakorohwea. And it came to pass that Anase dies and when he died, his family member buried him in this bowl. Lady Spider and Oracle are currently the caretakers of this bowl,and they have formed a guild called the Anase Guild. They are mischievous and steal from people to fund the Guild. The money is kept by them and their power source is the bowl. Beware! Don't open this bowl or Ananse's spirit will escape. When he escapes, he will enter into a human body and transform into Spider-Man. With this power, he will be able to climb walls and jump like the spider."
With those words, we begin.
Lady Spider and Oracle have been alive for centuries and they like nothing better than stealing money and beating children. After all, they have the power of the bowl to protect them. But what if that bowl ends up in human hands and everyone is confronted by a red and blue superhero who gets some revenge while throwing fireballs?
There's also a demon and a gang that uses axes to slice open children to harvest their organs, so trust me, you probably won't be bored. And if you are, just know that a really shiny PS1 Spider-Man will show up to fight people every few minutes. I mean, the effects are close to Marvel level - they were fixed up in 2020 - at least proportionally when you consider that this was made for the cost of a new issue of Spider-Man (as of August 2023, $4.99).
