Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the kid slowly hobbles towards Rhino somehow outsprinting all the policemen, seen from behind he is walking in the shade for a large tract, but the street is sunlit in the other views. In general throughout the scene the police cars are now in the shade, now in the sun. (02:10:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Gwen nearly falls off her own flats trying to avoid Oscorp's cartoon security, Peter grabs her. She clings to her and her mug hand is against his arm. She says "Hi!" in the next shot and her arm is lowered. (01:09:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Enraged because Spidey is being filmed by cameras, and he is not (best villain motivation ever), Electro sends a wave of electricity towards him. Spidey jumps over police car 7703 (the one that he dented landing spine-first in it earlier) but the slow-motion sequence that follows takes place featuring car 1206. (00:56:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Electro approaches the cables in Times Square, in the overhead shot we see that the person closest to the grate he targets is standing one row away from it. The following shots are consistent with that, even if we can see that there are more people. When he opens the grate in another angle, that person is standing right next to it. And when he digs his hands into the cables, some person with khaki pants is walking across the metal grids, but he wasn't there before. (00:51:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Gwen says "I'll be moving to England", she takes a breath, swallows, closes her mouth, but in the next shot her mouth is open. (00:50:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Harry at the board meeting sarcastically paraphrases the Connors incident mentioning the "giant lizards" you can see Felicia Hardy in background is writing down things, but she isn't in the previous shot. (00:37:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the board meeting, Harry is playing with his father's electronic seal in a way that displays towards the camera the side with the Oscorp logo. But there are two different camera angles from opposite sides, it can't be facing both at the same time. (00:36:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Gwen's phone call;Spidey holds the plutonium in a different position in each shot - at the end he even just has it standing perfectly vertical on its own. After the first two shots -when his arm goes from behind the grill to under his chin - we are not talking about consecutive shots anymore and the camera cuts away each time for over two seconds so it is technically possible he'd change position every time, but it randomly goes from above the grill, to behind, front, and perched on it. (00:11:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the second part of the chase, Sytsevich drives off leaving all the police behind and all the plutonium falls from the rack except the second container from the left in the top row. During Spider-man's antics in the back of the truck you can see the container about to fall (and eventually falling) from the third hole from the left. (00:10:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Aleksei Sytsevich abruptly stops the truck creating a pile-up of police cars. There's a close-up of a container of plutonium falling off an otherwise full rack, but the following part of the scene shows the rack half empty, and in any case the one contained that fell in the close-up was the bottom left one, in the rest of the scene the one missing from that column is the top left one. (00:10:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Spidey wastes 20 seconds of valuable time for the ever important task of fixing Max's combover, he says "Lick that", and in the next shot Max does not lick 'that', but 'the other one'; Spidey put in front of him his left hand but the reverse shot shows Jamie Foxx's tonguing Spidey's right phalanges. (00:10:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Aleksei Sytsevich says his own name and cackles, we see the other marauders jumping on the Oscorp truck. There's a shot from a crossroad with a pedestrian wearing a grey suit that looks at the police car in pursuit, and at the street corner there's a woman by the garbage bin; the camera angle changes and the people at that corner have changed. (00:08:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Mary and Richard Parker says goodbye to their son, the scene is similar but also different from the previous movie; she delivers her line with a calmer voice and doesn't stroke his hair in the jittery nervous way of the original. The dad's farewell to Peter is also longer and here they touch hands. (00:02:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the Statue of Liberty tells Spidey "Nice outfit!" the people in the background are in different positions at the cut. (00:21:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the kid dressed like Spidey slips through the barricade, look at his mother in close-up. To her left (right of the screen) there's a guy with white hair that breaks into a sound reminiscent of the famed Aro's Laugh. In the next shot, the guy is in a different position, to the right of the previous position, closer to the asian guy. (02:10:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Peter looks at Gwen's mementos, the photo he had in hand and the USB key both change position between shots. (02:07:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Peter is absent-mindedly listening to the news while Aunt May is putting away some objects. There's a cut while the speaker says "return of the web-slinger" and May who just had put down some letters is suddenly lifting a book. (02:06:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The one kid Spidey helped is looking at the window during the news story about Rhino breaking out of prison. He leans forward, but he's in a different position between shots, and his wind turbine is powered up only in the last shot even if it was still two shots before. (02:06:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the final battle, Spidey is going hand-to-hand with Goblin while Gwen is still dangling. At one point he wraps his web around Goblin's neck; the two loops of web change distance depending on the camera angle. (02:00:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Spider-Man leaves the "I love you" message to Gwen on Brooklyn Bridge, and on the tower of the bridge you can see the American flag. When the bridge is in the background later, the flag is gone. (01:45:15)
