Entry When MJ goes over to Harry's place for lunch, Harry is seen putting butter and what looks like peppers into the pan. They then start dancing until MJ says "The butter!" The next shot shows the pan with only butter in in - no peppers. [Harry puts red peppers in a stainless steel skillet and puts the butter in a black non-stick pan. When she yells,"The butter!," they then add eggs to the black skillet with the butter. The Butter and Peppers were never in the same pan.]
Entry When Aunt May comes to visit Peter at his apartment, she is easily able to open the door that has taken Pete's strength to open from the outside every other time throughout the film. [She doesn't open the door, she knocks and Peter lets her in. He also breaks off the doorknob in this scene because the door is stuck.]
Entry When Peter and MJ are on the bridge, in the shot where MJ walks away, Pater's hand holding the wedding ring remains up by his face. In the next shot, the long shot where Peter is seen entirely in the frame, his hand is down by his side. [The shot has a time cut, you can tell because MJ is already all the way off of the bridge and out of view. There's more than enough time for Peter to drop his hand down to his side.]
Entry Whatever happened to Spiderman's spider's sense? Throughout the movie, Spiderman was caught quite off guard, such as in the first encounter with the New Goblin. Shouldn't the spider sense given him some sort of heads up? [You could actually see realization dawning on Peter's face just before Harry snatches Peter off his scooter. Harry was moving too fast for Peter to react in time, though. Venom doesn't trigger Spider-Man's spider-sense because the symbiote was once a part of Peter.]
Entry When Spider-Man first goes to save MJ from Venom and Sand-Man, there is a panning shot of the crowd turning to look at him. In the crowd is a fireman who lifts a small child up so he can see. The shot switches between the crowd and Spider-Man, and every time it goes back, it shows the fireman lifting the child again. [There is enough time between shots for the fireman to have lowered the child. Perhaps the fireman was amusing the child by lifting it up and down. Or perhaps the child said something that the fireman couldn't hear so the fireman brought the child back down to listen. There are numerous reasons why this would occur.]
Entry The sandman and his wife both have blue eyes. Their daughter has brown eyes which is genetically impossible since blue eyes are recessive. [A simple Google search proves this wrong. It was once thought to be true, but today is known not to be.]
Entry Venom knows everything that Spider-Man knows, since the alien costume was once part of Spider-Man. How did Venom know about Sandman's dying daughter, if Spider-Man and the police only think Sandman is a violent murderer? As a photographer, Venom would not have access to Sandman's criminal file, and Peter refused to look at the file at the police station. [We don't know how long Venom had been tailing Flint before he propositioned him. It would make sense to dig up something that would persuade Flint to help him.]
Entry After Spider-Man floods the storm drain sand man is in, he begins to disintegrate, as does any sand in water. He tries to pick up the locket of his daughter, yet is unable to, due to his liquefying form. He is then washed through the sewers as disintegrated sand, but when he reforms himself at the other end he's somehow got the locket in his hand. [Because the locket got washed out with him. Once he was able to reform, he did so with the sand the locket was buried in, bringing it back to him.]
Entry When the cop is chasing Flint, the tarp above them flutters, causing the cops to climb a ladder. When the cop climbs the ladder the next shot shows him with a shovel that's appeared from nowhere. [He got the shovel off of the back of the truck. Since we don't see his entire climb, he must have grabbed it on his way up.]
Entry When Eddie Brock is taking photos of Gwen Stacy hanging from the girder, he is using a telephoto lens that the Chief looks through for a close-up look at his daughter. Only a moment later when Spider-Man brings Gwen to the ground he instantly has a regular lens on his camera. [It is not a "moment later." There is a lengthy rescue scene, during which Brock, while off camera, could have (and most certainly would have) changed the lens from telephoto to close range, since Spider-Man and Gwen were coming closer.]
Entry During Peter and Marko's final scene together where Peter gives Flint forgiveness, Flint says something like "I'm sorry I killed your uncle." There is no way for Marko to have known that the man he killed was indeed Peter's uncle, for Marko only knows him as 'Spider-Man', and not 'Peter Parker'. [Sandman was working with Venom, and Venom knew Peter's identity. It's a given that Venom told Sandman who Spider-Man was. Then, given what Spider-Man had said to him before about Ben Parker, Sandman put two and two together.]
Entry When Peter tells Aunt May that he plans on proposing to Mary Jane, she makes some tea for them. But instead of tea, only hot water is poured from the teapot. Furthermore, Aunt May then proceeds to add milk to the cups of hot water. [That's because the tea is already in the bottom of the cups. She added the hot water to the tea leaves (or ground tea), then the milk for flavor and cooling. My grandparents make tea the same way.]
Entry In the first Spiderman movie, JJ is told that when they featured Spiderman on the cover they sold out, he wanted more pictures of him, but was told "Eddie has been on it for weeks and just can't get a shot of him" Now when the first movie came out all of us comic geeks knew it was in reference to Eddie Brock. But in Spiderman 3, Brock is a "new guy" trying to get a job and had to introduce himself. [Eddie was freelance, just like Peter has been. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that no one in the office had met him except Robbie, since Robbie's job is directly related to the photographs that appear in the Daily Bugle. Just because Peter went to JJ personally doesn't mean everyone does.]
Entry The symbiote is vulnerable to sound and sonic vibrations. We see this at the bell tower and the construction site at the end. However, When black Spiderman is fighting Sandman in the sewer tunnels, subway trains are shooting past them left and right. Those make tremendous noise when moving at high speeds, far more noise than a single church bell or a couple of ringing metal rods. However, black Spider-Man was not affected at all. [It's not just noise. A subway train makes a lot of noise, yes, but it is of all different kinds of frequencies. The bell and the pipes however make resonating tones. They cause consistent waves within Venom's fluidic body that just simple noise does not.]
Entry At one point during the final fight sequence, Venom rips off Spiderman's mask. Later in the scene, it has reappeared. [Spiderman falls to the ground (on the sand), his mask is right next to him and he picks it up.]
Entry The first time we see MJ hostage in the taxi cab and she's hanging in the black web, she is in the back seat. The second time we see her in the cab, she's in the front driver's seat. [Between shots, she has moved around the car to try and level it out and reduce the risk of it falling. She moves from the front to the back of the cab a few times throughout the scene.]
