        Jon Peters, one of the producers, had been trying to shoehorn a giant spider into a movie for quite some time. It wasn’t that he thought it particularly needed to be in Wild, Wild West. He just wanted one, so he tried to get it written into every movie he was involved with until he finally succeeded. Hearing that really helped me understand the rest of that movie.
