Sacha

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Spider-Man stops the train his head and chest fall forward due to the momentum, but a frame later - from a different angle - he is standing still, his body against the train structure.

Continuity mistake: Right before Spidey stops the train there's a lot of people inside next to him. Then a wide shot later they've vanished only to reappear a shot later.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Spidey throws a huge iron minute hand at Ock which destroys an enormous chunk of concrete and makes loads of debris fall downward. However, a shot later there's a view of the street and the train track and not only is the debris gone from the road but the traffic and people act as if nothing had happened.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: After the car slams the cafe, Peter watches the street with people running around. The reflection on his lenses has nothing to do with what the opposite angle shows.

Video

Continuity mistake: Peter back flips off his moped to avoid the car racing at him. There were cop cars and other vehicles behind that car when Peter jumps, but when he lands only one cop car goes past in the lane next to him and the lane he's standing in is then clear of traffic as he talks to some kids.

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: When Peter first sees the burning building, there is a far away shot and you see the guy with dreadlocks run to a woman. Then it cuts back to Peter as he tries to become Spiderman then remembers he can't. Next shot has the same shot, only this time it's a close up of the man with dreadlocks running to the woman.

The_Iceman

Continuity mistake: After the bank scene where Spidey saves aunt May from Doc Ock, while they are on the street the sun changes between shots.

Continuity mistake: During the demonstration of the fusion reaction when Doc Ock is strapping the metal arms to his body, the pins that go in to his spine are shown going in twice from two different angles.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Peter and Aunt May visit Uncle Ben's grave, Peter's hair is blowing in the wind quite violently in the wide shot but is relatively still in the close up.

THGhost

Continuity mistake: When Jameson is brought the suit, the position of his secretary's right arm is inconsistent between the front and back angles.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The chip on Dr. Ock's nape is 10 centimeters away from his hair. In the close-up it's right next to the hair.

Factual error: Considering the brightness of the fusion process, Dr. Octavius has to wear special goggles to be able to see it. Yet no one else in the room is wearing such goggles or seem hurt by watching the whole process, just as at the end of the movie. When welding something, no one can look at the arc that's created, as it would hurt his eyes and burn his retina; presumably, the fusion process would be brighter and more powerful than that, and so should have some kind of damaging effect on everyone's eyesight (except Spider Man's, maybe).

May Parker: We need a hero, couragous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to HOLD ON a second longer. I believe theres a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most, even our dreams.
