Easter egg: On the Spider-Man DVD (not deluxe edition) disc 2, click to the DVD-ROM features on the comic book section, you will be given a list of things you can do on the DVD-Rom. If you press up however, a spider will appear, press enter and you will go into a short film with Todd MacFarlane explaining how the webbing has evolved in the comics.

Factual error: In the museum, Peter is filming in real-time moving biological specimens shot through 'the largest electron microscope on the Eastern seaboard'. You can't film live specimens in an electron microscope. The electron beam only works in a vacuum chamber, in which the specimen - invariably dead - is held. The microscope is identified as a scanning electron microscope, and nobody can fire an electron stream through air. The electrons will collide with gas molecules and scatter, ruining the image.
