Continuity mistake: In the final fight scene between Green Goblin and Spider-Man, the damaged eyepiece over Spider-Man's left eye keeps changing its damage pattern between shots. (01:45:15)
Continuity mistake: In the final fight scene, between Spider-Man and Green Goblin, when Spider-Man goes down, suddenly Green Goblin has a kind of weapon on his hand, when in the rest of the fight scene he had nothing. (01:46:55)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the film when we see MJ hugging Peter, in one shot you can see she moves her hand to his neck and close to his ear, yet from the front view, her hand is still on his back. (01:47:20)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film the Green Goblin programs his glider to fly at Spider-Man, Spidey jumps out of the way and the glider continues to fly at the Green Goblin. You see a shot of the Green Goblin throwing his hands up next to his head, then a close-up shot of his face where he says "oh" but there are no hands. Then in the next shot from further away his hands are back by his head. (01:49:10)
Continuity mistake: In the final cemetery sequence, Peter and Mary Jane square off for a little heart to heart, with her touching his face tenderly with her black leather gloves. The camera intercuts between front views of both: in hers, her fingers are touching his ear lobe, in his, they are a inch below his ear lobe. In one quick cut of hers, the hand has disappeared completely, then in mid-sentence as they cut back to Peter, it's there again. (01:49:20)
Continuity mistake: In the end sequence between Peter and Mary Jane by Uncle Ben's grave, as the camera switches perspectives, there's a wayward lock of Peter's hair that disappears then reappears in different shots. (01:49:20)
Continuity mistake: The Green Goblin is impaled by the knives on his glider which are shown after they have punched through him and the brick wall, but there is no blood on them. (01:49:50)
Continuity mistake: When MJ kisses Peter in the cemetery, his head is leaning towards his left, and in the next shot, his head is leaning towards his right. (01:53:10)
Continuity mistake: Jameson is sitting in his office when another man bursts through the door. Jameson jumps and turns to look at him twice- first in the wide shot, and again in his closeup.
Continuity mistake: During the fight scene at school, the food that was just on Flash's back disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Peter Parker goes up to his room, about to become Spider-Man, there's a sudden close-up of his face and his fringe looks different.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the film, when they are at Norman Osborn's funeral, just before and after they kiss, Peter's hair keeps changing.
Continuity mistake: When Jameson is talking to his coworker in his office, the other man holds out a paper. From one angle it's in his left hand, and from another angle it's in his right.
Continuity mistake: When Osborn awakens in the vault, the position of his hand grabbing the doctor's throat changes positions depending on the angle.
Continuity mistake: Bone Saw had four valets during the wrestling scene yet during the cage match he's only got three at ringside, one of the two blondes disappears.
Suggested correction: I just loaded up the scene. All four of them are definitely there during the cage match. There's even several shots where you can see all four at the same time.
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: This is a little hard to explain. During the Unity Day Festival, after Goblin beats up the cops, the shot cuts and he turns around to face Spider-Man, who lands in front of him. The problem? He was facing the same direction as Spider-Man in the previous shot (you can tell from the background), so it makes no sense that he has to turn around when the camera cuts.
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.
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.
Continuity mistake: When Mary Jane falls off the balcony she falls sideways except for a shot of her falling face down. Shot changes and she is falling sideways again.
