Trivia
Notice the rather brilliant scene with Norman arguing with the Goblin persona in the mirror. This is director Sam Raimi's trademark style, as well as an homage to the Evil Dead series, where he first used the technique. See more...

Please note: No comic book discrepancies, please...
Continuity: After Peter punches Flash in the guts during the Flash/Peter Hallway fight scene, the camera shows Mary Jane in a closeup scene looking surprised. Look behind her on her right and you will see a surprised fat man wearing glasses. After Flash's friend says "Jesus Parker, you are a freak," and the camera shows Harry saying "Wow, that was amazing", you can see the same fat man suddenly appearing on the left of Mary Jane looking happy and clapping. Immediately afterwards, the camera then shows Mary Jane in a closeup again and voila, the fat man appears back on Mary Jane's right, near her, and looking somewhat surprised again.
Other: In the scene where there are shots of newspapers with articles about Spider-Man, if you look closely at the shot of the newspaper article just before the shot of Spider-Man putting on his mask, the second column is repeated in the fourth column - easiest to spot is "NYPD spokesperson, Sean Young..." appears twice.
Continuity: During the bridge scene the wire supporting the tram/cable car was obviously anchored on the other end when the Green Goblin was holding it, because the car's suspended on a near horizontal line, with the regular support at one end and the Goblin on the other. All well and good, and even after Spider-Man grabs Mary Jane we see the car drop with the wire still looped through the pulley, both ends visible. In the next shot from above though, the other end of the wire's disappeared, and the car's now just hanging off a single cable which is attached to the top of the car. How'd that happen?
Continuity: In the scene in which Peter and Flash are fighting in the hall, Harry runs up to Mary Jane to see what is happening, seconds later Peter jumps up to avoid Flash's friend charging him from behind. In the shot of Peter flipping in the air, you can see that Harry is no longer standing next to Mary Jane, a girl in a blue sweater is. After Peter lands, the camera cuts back to Mary Jane and Harry is once again by her side.
Factual error: Why would Columbia University have the "most powerful electron microscope on the eastern seaboard" in the same lab room as it would have the spider lab, which is a biology/genetics study? Electron microscopes are useless for studying DNA. The electron beam turns molecules into sludge. All but the toughest organic samples have to be coated with metal as protection, and you can't do this with DNA.
Continuity: In the opening scene, we see the bus driving on the right side of the road. When the shot goes to the guy eating the doughnut, look outside the window and the bus is about 2 feet (if that) from the curb. Yet, when we see Peter in the rear view mirror, there are now a lot of cars parked at the curb that we didn't see in the previous shot.
Continuity: When Spider-Man catches Mary Jane as she falls off the balcony, in the shot from above there are two columns lying on the ground - one on the right as we look at it, a few feet from the red area and parallel to it, and one on the left at an angle. In the shot of them landing, the one closest to the red area has disappeared.
