Many fan films are made by prospective stars who want to get their talents out to a wider audience. Case in point: Dan Poole, the stuntman and director who was the motive force behind The Green Goblin's Last Stand, a 1992 film made in Baltimore for just $400. This flick works because Poole is a fearless performer, throwing himself into the role of Peter Parker with wild abandon and performing some seriously life-threatening stunts. He finished it after fourteen months of filmmaking so arduous that he contemplated suicide.
