Spider-Man

Continuity mistake: When Spider-Man is being gassed by the Green Goblin, the mouthpiece of the Green Goblin's mask is open, and Osborne's lips are visible moving as he speaks to J. Jonah Jameson. Later in the scene where Spider-Man fights the Green Goblin in the burning building, a close-up of his mask is shown again, but this time there appears to be some kind of black mesh screen in the mouth of his mask.

Suggested correction: It's never fully open, it's just easier to see through the mesh in certain lighting.

Continuity mistake: At the Unity Day Festival, when Goblin says "Impressive!" and kicks Spider-Man away, watch closely. Goblin goes from standing on top of a bare ground to standing on top of some sort-of tarp instantly between cuts as Spider-Man hits the first table.

Deliberate mistake: During the fight at the Unity Day Festival, at one point Goblin is confronted by some cops and beats them up. Watch closely... you can tell that the first and second shots are just different takes of the same stunt from a different camera angle. Goblin's movies are exactly the same (except slightly faster in the second shot), and you can also tell it's the exact same two cops he's hitting. They tried to artificially lengthen the scene by showing two slightly different takes of the stunt.

Continuity mistake: During the World Unity Festival, after the balcony begins to collapse, Mary Jane hits the railing and a support falls from it. The support reappears and stays until she falls.

Audio problem: The wrestler's, wheeled out prior to Peter wrestling Bone Saw, mouth doesn't match the dialogue as he's speaking.

Revealing mistake: When Osborn is gassed inside the vault and the doctor comes to aid him, 2 green squares are reflected on his glasses. The green fumes are already gone so it can't be that. Plus from the opposite angle there's no green wall anywhere, so it was the green screen used on the set or a continuity error when fumes were still on the set.

Suggested correction: I think it's the green smoke reflecting on his glasses. The chamber has rectangular windows so that's why the reflections are rectangular.

MissedTake

No, when he is helping him the green smoke is already gone.

Sacha

I don't think it's green screen, they look a bit small for that but there's something there, you are right. There're green little rectangles on his glasses even when he is doing CPR, when he is looking directly at Norman's face but no green stuff around Norman's head. Perhaps green smoke would be harmful or expensive, so they used regular white vapor and shone green lights on the smoke to make it appear green and later forgot to turn those lights off.

There are monitors with green colored animations throughout that scene, in fact we can see a monitor behind the doctor in the shared screenshot. It could be that the monitor is getting reflected on the glass walls of the chamber which then gets reflected on doctor's glasses.

kutsuda

I just submitted a picture where one can see there's nothing green in front of the doctor.

J. Jonah Jameson: He doesn't want to be famous? Then I'll make him INfamous!
