The parody purports to be a "lost Italian film" by Alrugo Entertainment, an Australian film-making collective formed by Dario Russo, Tait Wilson, David Ashby, Will Spartalis and Boris Repasky.

The stranger is revealed to be Captain Maximum (Leombruno Tosca), who escapes by transforming into a snake as Italian Spiderman flees the scene on his motorcycle.

A crocodile-themed supervillain named Coccodrillo breaks into Italian Spiderman's home, but he kills him before traveling to Professor Bernardi's laboratory to get the asteroid.

When a gigantic Captain Maximum lays siege to the city, Italian Spiderman finally drinks the potion and grows to his size to fight him.

[3] Due to the success of Italian Spiderman, the Special Broadcasting Service contacted Dario Russo and David Ashby expressing interest in creating a television adaptation, but copyright issues caused the project to be dropped.

[1] In 2018, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller expressed interest in including Italian Spiderman as a character in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,[5] although this never came to fruition.
