Corrected entry: "The Punisher" has a small cameo in Spider-Man 2. At the end when Mary Jane is running through the park with her wedding dress on, Thomas Jane (or at least an extra who closely resembles him) can be seen glancing at her while she runs past.
Corrected entry: When Peter arrives at his aunt's home at the beginning of the movie, it's night. He talks to Harry in the kitchen a few minutes later, and look at the purple balloon by Peter's head, it reflects a window with lots of light coming through it.
Correction: That's not a window being reflected. It's a light in the room being reflected.
Corrected entry: There's no reason for Spiderman to take his mask off when he approaches Doctor Octopus at the end. If Octopus was "normal" again, and in control of the tentacles, Spiderman had the same chance of convincing him as Peter did. Why risk revealing his secret identity to an enemy?
Correction: First of all Spider-Man had no way of knowing if Doc Ock was "normal" again. Since Peter had made quite an impression on the doctor while having tea, and since Spider-Man was planning to reason with Ock by using something he said to Peter, it does make sense that he takes his mask off, so that he can look the Doc in his eyes. Man to Man.
Sure but also we don't see Otto take control of his claws (when he says "listen to ME now") until after Peter reveals himself and talks to him to get him to snap out of it and take charge.
Corrected entry: Doc Ock's wearing a hospital gown during the operating room massacre yet once outside he's suddenly bare chested.
Corrected entry: When falling towards the train tracks in the clock tower fight, Spider-Man shoots two web balls up at Doc Ock. However, Doc Ock gets hit by two web balls and a third goes flying past him.
Correction: Spider-Man obviously shoots a third after the camera has cut away from him to show us Doc Ock reacting to the attack.
Corrected entry: In the operating room scene the doctor is about to make his first incision in Doc Ock's body and examines the x-ray carefully, but not the patient. Doc Ock is not on a respirator (so he is not properly anesthetized) and also not even hooked up to an IV - although there is an IV bag and pole in the room.
Correction: No one is making an incision; it was determined that they would try cutting off the metal arms first before attempting surgery. Since they were not cutting into his flesh during this phase of the operation (and they had no idea that the arms would 'come to life') they did not need him anesthetized.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Doc Ock holds Aunt May over the edge of a building and Spiderman gets ready to slingshot himself towards them, Doc Ock has a spike come out of one of his tentacles and hides it behind his back. The spike shouldn't be in there in the first place, since Doc Ock built the tentacles to control fusion reactions, not to kill people. Also, Spiderman's senses don't go off despite the fact that he is in danger.
Correction: The spike could have any number of uses during the experiment; he only resorts to using it as a weapon after his transformation (remember Robocop's spike that was intended for data retrieval, later used as a weapon). Spiderman's senses alert him to danger; they may have been overwhelmed by the sight of Doc Ock dangling Aunt May off a building - a very obvious danger. In any case, with Aunt May's life being threatened Peter decided that any risk was worth saving her.
Corrected entry: Doc Ock's lab is first shown to be a regular building on a street, but it is later shown to be located on a dock.
Corrected entry: After Peter decides not to be Spider-man anymore, he's walking as a normal person, trips and falls. There are trees and a park bench in the surrounding area where he falls. Yet when he gets up, he is on a sidewalk in front of a building with no trees or park bench anywhere.
Correction: Notice that there are several shots of him falling. This is to indicate that he has tripped several times in several locations; he is in a completely different area when he is finally seen standing.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Mary Jane is acting in the theater, she notices an empty seat, and automatically knows that Peter did not come to see her. She was surprised when Peter told her he was coming to the play, so he's not using a ticket/seat she's got for him - she would have had to look at every seat and audience member to know for sure.
Correction: Mary Jane got Peter a complimentary ticket and could have easily checked with the box office before the performance to find out where he was supposed to be sitting.
Corrected entry: In the scene at the end where Spider-Man and Mary Jane are in the big web, check out the bit of web visible between their faces in shots of both of them - it's clear to see the web is just black wire with a thin bit of translucent plastic loosely wrapped around it - shatters the image somewhat.
Correction: Well, what else is a giant strand of spider-web supposed to look like? It has always had that look in both movies, and it looks like that in the comic books.
Corrected entry: After Doc Ock wakes back up and goes after everyone in the hospital, he then goes back to where the fusion experiment first took place, and begins working on it again. The people know who is responsible for the attack in the hospital, and yet no police go to where the experiment took place, which would more than likely be the first place the police would check out, since he escaped the hospital. If they had, they would've apprehended him.
Correction: Doc Ock does NOT return to the first fusion site. The first experiment took place in a multi-story building on a city block, surrounded by other buildings. The second fusion site is a solitary, delapidated building on a dock out on the water. The exterior is completely different, and the interior is filled with wood crates and fishing nets. It is not the same building, so no one would think to look for Doc Ock there.
Corrected entry: The car that is thrown through the window of the deli has hubcaps or rims that are the same as Charles Xavier's wheelchair wheels.
Correction: Pure coincidence, those are stock rims on the Saturn Ion.
Corrected entry: Doc Ock robs a bank to get funds to rebuild his machine. He seems to take only three or four bank bags, which, given the size of the machine, doesn't seem like enough to buy all the parts to rebuild it.
Correction: Let's say it wasn't enough, perhaps because Spider-Man intervening prevented him from taking more. He could have robbed another bank or an armored truck offscreen. Showing that, however, would just drag the movie down. Since he has all the equipment he needs, we have to accept that he acquired enough money to pay for it all.
Correction: Just because it "doesn't seem" like enough doesn't make it a plot hole.
Yeah you don't really know what is inside and what seems to be inside are golden coins which are probably worth quite a lot more than bank notes would. There could even be jewellry inside.
Corrected entry: Spiderman has the task of stopping the speeding train that has no brakes. Well, he uses his spider senses to see down the rest of the track to see the drop off the end. Throughout the rest of the track, you can see there are no stops or stations, and it eventually comes to a dead end. So where is this train heading anyway?
Corrected entry: Just before of the scene when Peter loses his $20 with Ditkovich, there is a shot of the building where Peter lives. Pay attention to the car going from right to left. When the car is about to disappear, you will see how the rest of the shot is a static image.
Correction: It's unclear what you're trying to suggest... that they digitally inserted a passing car into a still-frame shot? Highly unlikely they went to that expense for something that can simply be filmed with a camera outside the building. This really needs to be much more specific. The shot is of a bunch of parked cars, of course there's no movement. A man enters the right side of the screen just as the car disappears, proving it's *not* a static shot.
Corrected entry: In the scene when Doc Ock picks up Spiderman's aunt in front of the bank, just before one of his arms grab her, one can see Spidey's aunt has already been lifted up.
Correction: If you look closely you can see that a smaller tentacle comes out to pick her up.
Corrected entry: During the fusion process, all metal objects are drawn to the energy source, yet Octavius' wife's earrings aren't affected at all.
Correction: Not all metals are subject to magnetism. Gold and silver are not.
Corrected entry: In the stopped subway car, when the crowd is passing the unmasked Spider-Man over their heads, the pose of Spider-Man and camera angle used are the same as the death scene done by Kenneth Branagh in his four hour "Hamlet" (1996).
Correction: Purely coincidental, not trivia.
Corrected entry: Throughout the film you can see that Spiderman is hanging with his web from nothing, just from the sky. One really obvious is when you see him in the night, before he starts loosing his powers. He's not hanging from the buildings, but from the sky.
Correction: The web goes off camera so we don't see what it's attached to. He's in New York so it could easily be attached to a very high point on one of the buildings. From a practical standpoint this would make it easier for him to swing straight down a street, rather than at angles if he attached the web lower on the buildings.
Correction: The Punisher doesn't make a cameo at all in this movie. The film makers stated that even though the guy resembles Thomas Jane, it isn't him. It's nothing but a coincidence that he bears a close resemblance to him.
