Watch The Spiders: Part 2 - The Diamond Ship For Free

Let's be realistic.

From my favorite movies..

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Originally, Fritz Lang, writer and director here, planned 4 Spiders movies, but the 95-year-old "Das Brillantenschiff" ("The Diamond Ship") turned out to be the last installment to the series of Kay Hoog going against the infamous criminal organization. I am okay with that as I certainly enjoyed the first film more than this one. The references about his lost love are not enough in here and, in general, in terms of story and emotion it does not really deliver in my opinion. At times, it feels like a weaker version of the first film, at other times, it felt like Hoog wasn't even the main character anymore. This second film went a bit longer than the first, namely 80 minutes for the version I watched. These numbers may differ though as, as usual with these very old films, all these restored version have different runtimes and the original was probably even longer as some of the parts were lost today. As a whole, this is among the weaker films I have seen by Fritz Lang. Sorry to see this did not reach the level of the first or fulfill its potential as a worthy sequel to the film from a year earlier. Not recommended.

In San Francisco, the sportsman Kay Hoog (Carl de Vogt) follows Lio Sha (Ressel Orla) in a subterranean Chinatown and discloses that her organization is seeking a Buddha-head diamond that will release Asia from tyranny. He is captured, but he escapes and chases The Spiders, embarking as a stowaway in the Storm Bird. The ship heads to London, with the criminals trying to find the diamond in the mansion of the millionaire Terry Landon (Rudolph Lettinger). They do not succeed and abduct Terry's daughter Ellen (Thea Zander) asking the diamond as ransom. However, Terry does not have the stone, and Kay Hoog discovers that it is in the Malvinas Island. He goes to the island, where he faces The Spiders.The sequel of "Die Spinnen, 1, Teil - Der Goldene See" is also a flawed movie, with a messy and silly screenplay. The great merit of this film is the hero Kay Hoof, certainly the source of inspiration of Indiana Jones. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "As Aranhas Parte 2 – O Navio dos Diamantes" ("The Spiders Part 2 – The Ship of the Diamonds")

This episode is a worthy continuation in the series. As in the first part there is a lot of action. The search is on for the Buddha shaped diamond. This is the sort of film that inspired Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Unless you're into film history, stay away from this thing!The plot is slapdash. The hero blithely drops from a flying plane, onto the roof of a building. ("Oof!") A la Jack Armstrong, there's a completely unexplained escape. A homing pigeon finds its way to a moving ship at sea. Obscure clues are identified immediately against all odds while obvious clues go ignored for centuries. Poison gas conveniently appears ex machina. As in The Golden Sea, the pacing is haphazard.(Poor Ed Wood! How can we bash the guy when he probably learned his "art" from films such as this by Fritz Lang?)BTW, in this film, unlike in The Golden Sea, some of the characters amazingly don't look German (though for some reason our American hero very much dresses like a German; more so than in The Golden Sea); instead, the non-Teutonic Chinese are made to look like vermin.
