Revealing mistake: Harry Osborn types "Special Projects" (and we see the word taking shape as he types) hitting as the last keys "E", space bar and "G." (01:28:05)

Continuity mistake: When Peter for some reason decides to try to hoodwink the English receptionist pretending to be "John Hopkins", he mentions that he tried to get Gwen to be part of "my team." In that, a guy comes in frame walking from right to left. Several seconds later, same extra, same walk. (01:24:20)
14th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: During Peter's rant inside the Oxford office, Emma Stone's hair comes and goes from the front of her right shoulder. This happens all the way throughout the scene, even at the pivotal moment at the very end when she asks him which was the "one thing" he mentioned. (01:23:20)
14th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Inside Oxford's North American office, Peter starts blathering; he says "Everything's a mess", he says; Emma Stone in the next shot has her hand raised. The mistake happens again at the end of the conversation when Peter goes "I'm sorry to bother you", and her raised hands go down her sides from the wide shot. (01:23:15)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Character mistake: During the scene at the office of the University of Oxford, the Union Jack is hanged the opposite way from the proper position. (01:23:10)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Harry is talking to Spidey that barely camouflages his voice, the hair on his forehead keeps changing position between shots. (01:21:20)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Peter inputs in Google "What is Roosevelt?" and gets as output for his search "Franklyn Roosevelt + New York" (01:01:25)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Harry wakes up to Spiderman's voice in his living room. He sits and looks at him. Notice the messy hair on his forehead. Changes shot (he is rubbing his nose like Gwen, just not as cute) and his hair is combed over properly. (01:20:50)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Peter comes back home and finds his aunt sitting on his bed staring at his serial killer-like collage. The two start talking, and during the conversation May has several locks of hair on or off the cheek as the two angles alternate. (01:16:45)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: During the kiss in closet scene, Garfield has his hand on Emma Stone's face abruptly at the cut. Seconds later, when they concur that the kiss was "a bit rushed" they smile at each other with a completely different position - as you can see from the light rays on their faces. (01:10:55)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Stupidity: In the closet with Peter, Gwen says that "there was an accident in the genomics lab, and they're covering it up." That's a pretty exceptional piece of information that she has, but this bit of information is never explained, investigated, deserves the slightest attention, just because the plot says so. Peter does not even ask "what kind of accident, what happened" or anything. (01:09:40)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Peter is cooped up in the garage window as he answers the phone after a night of dangerous experiments. First shot and his arms are free, close-up, and he's wrapped in a blanket. (01:05:00)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Harry just found by accident the secret interactive desktop from his father. He drags and drops a menu, but somehow when he checks out the item he highlighted, the menus themselves changed entirely showing stuff like "Max Dillon experiment" that were not there a moment before. (01:03:05)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Other mistake: We see Peter freshly printing an old news story from CNN; the timestamp on the visible corner says the sheet was printed at 9:18 AM. The scene takes place in the evening. (01:01:45)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Watching the news after his confrontation with Electro, Spiderman picks up from the table the webbing device that got fried. He then throws it back on the table, where meanwhile all the tools shifted around randomly. (01:00:40)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Stupidity: Crowds in movies are not renowned for their brilliance, but the crowds in this movie are formed by idiots. Both in the Electro and the Rhino fight, pedestrians are standing by behind strategically placed railings (that have no reason to be there to begin with as these villains appeared unexpectedly), just to witness first-hand from a few meters the lethal powers of rampaging monsters - and they keep their little kids with them too.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Revealing mistake: Look behind the policeman when he shouts "Sir, get your hands away from the cables, right now." For absolutely no reason the extras (one in particular to the left that was looking in a different direction entirely) remembers to act scared only at the word "get", but the policeman already started shouting before, and sparks have been flying even earlier. (00:52:00)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: A policeman spots the suspicious guy accessing the high voltage cables and screams "Get out of the way." There's a macroscopical continuity error here with an extra sporting a peach colored jacket that 'gets out of the way' twice in two separate shots and with completely different timing. (00:52:00)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Other mistake: Car alarms are annoying; Electro sets off every car alarm in the street, once he silences a single one draining power off the batter, every other alarm stops too - despite the lights still flashing. Incidentally, in the rest of the movie Electro shows his power on a much larger scale but never sets off any car alarm or makes headlights blink. (00:48:35)
13th Jan 2022
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: Peter and Gwen are having a spontaneous reunion. Gwen tried her new laugh on Peter, and she's laughing at his positive reception of it saying "It's not adorable." Notice by her a dude with thin framed glasses and a beige jacket that walks past them. A few seconds later when she does the nose rub thingy, the same guy is again passing them by. (00:47:15)
