Spider-Man 3 (2007) - 15 major mistakes

Factual error: During the fight scene with Sandman in the armor car, the Terminal Tower can be seen in the background, which is a landmark in Cleveland, Ohio (where the scene was shot), not in New York city.

Continuity: When Spider-man is in the bell tower, removing the symbiote, it's raining and dark outside. At the same time Eddie Brock is in the church down below and praying. You can see out of the front door of the church and it is bright and sunny outside. Similarly, every stained glass window is lit up. How can they be lit up if it is dark outside?

Plot hole: Flint Marco has his whole body turned into sand including his belt buckle and any other metal he happens to be wearing. If all of this turned into sand then why was the locket fine without it turning into sand as well?

Continuity: The stickers on the board in J.J. office change from when Peter first goes in and when Eddie and Peter leave.

Continuity: During the scene on the bridge where MJ breaks up with Peter, MJ's hair is tied behind her head with a few wisps hanging down and her ears visible whenever she is shown from behind. However, whenever MJ is shown in her own close-up during the same conversation, her hair is down loosely and her ears are completely covered up.

Continuity: When Mary Jane halts the cab, there's a couple walking behind her, who disappear in the close-up of her opening the door.

Continuity: When Peter meets Mary Jane backstage after her first performance, her hands continue to move on and off of Peter's shoulders between shots.

Continuity: During the final fight scene, Spiderman is talking to Mary Jane while Harry is flying around. There is a shot of the Sandman about to clap his hands together around Harry. As the scene cuts to Spiderman taking off to save Harry and cuts back, Sandman's hands are much farther apart than they were before the cut.

Revealing: When Sandman is in the truck of sand and the cop climbs up to catch him, you can see the edge of a platform uncovered. The platform is clearly there so the cop could walk without sinking - he stops right where the platform ends.

Continuity: At the police station, Garret places the picture of a criminal on the desk, then Flint's picture on top. Peter takes the top picture and walks away; but in the background 2 photos can be seen laying on the desk.

Continuity: Before Harry throws the bomb at Evil Peter, two bombs can be seen together next to the place where he is lying. Half a second later, when Harry picks up one of them, the grenades are apart from each other.

Continuity: Reporter Jennifer Dugan's fringe swaps from right to left between the moment when she is reporting about Sandman, Venom and Spidey's fight and the moment when she appears on the news one frame later.

Continuity: When Venom is choking Spider-Man and the Sandman is punching him as a giant, Spider-Man's mask is cut and under his eye that is exposed, there is so little mask that it is about to snap. Later in the same scene, there is a lot more mask there.

Continuity: The aerial view of the slime falling on Eddie shows no door or light coming from behind him. However, in the close shots, there's an open big door behind reflecting a lot of light.

Continuity: Eddie exits the cab and runs towards Black Spidey. From a low shot Eddie's legs slow down and walk really slowly towards him. Then from a close-up of him he is seen running again and then stopping.
