(3 votes)

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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

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)

Sammo

Plot hole: Harry learned about Max Dillon watching the Ravencroft video that lasted just a few seconds; from that he can infer the hatred for Spider-man, but not much else, and he's instantly locked off his Oscorp account, and building, after that.However, when he meets Max, he also knows that he is the one who submitted the design for the Oscorp power grid, which is information he shouldn't have since he had no time nor opportunity to investigate further - plus, all data about Max has been erased, and he never got proper credit for that to begin with. (01:28:50 - 01:36:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the sickly kid CEO overpowers the two security guards, he does so with the one on the right that mysteriously in one shot is facing him and in the next he's facing the nearby desk, away from him. (01:33:35)

Sammo

Other mistake: After Electro disappears in the asylum then comes back, the underwear and the electrodes should be gone by then. (01:38:00)

oswal13

Continuity mistake: When Electro pierces the chest of the head of the security, the guy falls at a certain distance from the chair and table of the office, but when Harry saunters off to his body to grab his gun, the dead guy is right by the furniture. (01:40:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Harry and Electro are in the office and confront the new CEO. Electro shocks him, and he falls to the floor. The first shot of him is clearly not the same actor, because the man on the floor has a full head of hair. The second shot it's the original CEO, who is mostly bald. (01:40:55)

Suggested correction: No mistake: Electro knocks out 2 guys: one with hair, and a bald man.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Spider-Man leaves the "I love you" message to Gwen on Brooklyn Bridge, and on the tower of the bridge you can see the American flag. When the bridge is in the background later, the flag is gone. (01:45:15)

Continuity mistake: After the blackout when the plane lifts up, Gwen is standing next to Spider-Man, with her left hand on his back. She is just 20cm smaller than him. When the shot changes she is now standing away from him and he is 40cm taller. This changes back and forth. (01:47:25)

Continuity mistake: When Electro's face appears on the building's windows, he produces huge holes on the pavement, which is empty except for a police car. After Spider stops by the water tank the aerial shot shows the street jammed with cars. (01:49:25)

Sacha

Audio problem: During Electro and Spidey's final battle, after Spidey breaks the yellow pipe Electro says "Is that all you've got?" but his lips aren't moving. (01:51:15)

Sacha

Continuity mistake: In the final battle, Spidey is going hand-to-hand with Goblin while Gwen is still dangling. At one point he wraps his web around Goblin's neck; the two loops of web change distance depending on the camera angle. (02:00:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the battle with Green Goblin, when Gwen Stacy is falling through the clock tower, there are dozens of gears and other pieces of various sizes falling with her. However, when she lands, only a few small gears and pieces land alongside her - all the other debris that were falling have seemingly vanished. (02:01:20)

Suggested correction: That part of the scene is SO dark that it's really hard to tell; they do show some gears and pieces land after she does and there are some gears and pieces next to her when he walks to her. I wouldn't say there's none, but I'd say it does seem a disproportionately low amount considering how many giant gears were falling.

Sammo

Given that even you admit in your correction that the number of gears seems disproportionately low (which it is - we only see a few small pieces landing when there were dozens and dozens of pieces in different sizes falling), I think amending the wording through a word-change is a better option than trying to correct the mistake itself. Because there is still a mistake here. Going to go ahead and do that after I post this response. (Might take a few days to change, though).

TedStixon

I absolutely agree and I'll delete the comment (s) when the mistake is reworded, since as we say, it is a valid mistake.

Sammo

I submitted a word change yesterday, but given that it's not a mistake I submitted, it might take a few days to apply. :).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Gwen dies, the position of Spidey's left hand is inconsistent in almost every shot: Moving between her temple and cheek back and forth. Also, when he says "Stay with me" his right hand suddenly appears / disappears randomly around her head. (02:02:05)

Sacha

Peter Parker: Everyday I wake up knowing that no matter how many lives I protect, no matter how many people call me a hero, someone even more powerful could change everything.

Trivia: SPOILER: At the end of the clock tower scene, there is an exterior shot, where the time is 1:21. It is in issue #121 of the original Amazing Spider-Man comic from the 1970's where Gwen died due to the Green Goblin.

More trivia for The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Question: The is something that I didn't understand in the movie. Spiderman killed Electro, which is something completely out of character. What was Marc Webb thinking?

Answer: Peter didn't set out to kill Electro, but he has to stop him somehow. Overloading him is pretty much all Peter has to work with in terms of stopping Electro's rampage. He doesn't know what effect it will have on his opponent, but he hopes that it will serve to stop him in his tracks, which it does. Had Peter set out with the specific intention of killing Max, that would indeed have been wildly out of character, but he didn't - he simply did what he had to do to stop him. It's unlikely that Max is actually dead anyway; it's well known that Sony intend to bring the Sinister Six into play in upcoming movies and Electro has been a key member of most incarnations of that team, making it highly likely that he'll be back.
