Corrected entry: When Peter's neighbor asks him if he wants some chocolate cake, in the next shot of the cake almost done, it's vanilla cake.
Corrected entry: In the scene at the laundry mat where he is washing his spidey suit, it shows that the colors bled on to his boxers and socks. You would think after two years of washing his suit that he would have figured out that it could bleed on to his other clothes. And furthermore, the suit would have faded enough that it wouldn't bleed anymore.
Correction: Considering the wear and tear you see in this movie, I'm sure that he gets a new suit from time to time. He probably meant to wash it separately but put it in the basket with some other stuff by mistake.
Corrected entry: In the scene where we have the first fusion reactor, we notice that everything begins to be drawn into the reaction, including a paper clip from far away. When it shows Doc Ock's wife, she is very close to the reactor and you can see that she has metal earrings dangling from her ears. First, they are not even being drawn into the reactor when everything else is, including huge metal objects. Second, she has a metal wrist watch that is seemingly not affected by the magnetism.
Correction: Many metals are non-ferrous and are not affected by magnets, particularly gold and Sterling silver, which her earrings and watch could have been made from.
Corrected entry: Doc Ock creates 4 super smart tentacles that hook into his cerebellum (which controls voluntary muscles and maintains posture and balance) essentially making the 4 tentacles seem as if they were 4 extra true arms. This begs the questions: Why would he need these arms to be super smart? And if he makes them super smart why would he install an inhibitor chip in order to shut down the tentacles' "brains" and reduce them to normal arms?
Correction: The arms are super smart so that the process of stabilising the reaction doesn't have to be left to chance. (Yeah, it doesn't quite work, but never mind) By installing AI chips in them, they can understand and run the process effectively and safely, should anything happen to Octavius. The inhibitor chip is there to prevent them from being in charge of Octavius as long as he is conscious. As he says, he retains control over them (in his scenario).
Corrected entry: After Spider-man saves Aunt May from Doc Ock, you see Doc Ock climbing round the corner of the building, holding Aunt May's coat in one of his metal arms, but seconds later, when Spider-man is getting Aunt May to safety, she is miraculously wearing her coat again.
Correction: Doc Ock is carrying the bags of money from the bank, not her coat.
Corrected entry: In the scene when the bank robbery takes place, Aunt May drops her umbrella, then she has it when she's going up with Doc Ock; than she drops it again, and yet she still has it to hit Doc Ock in the head.
Correction: Aunt May has her umbrella when Ock wraps his tentacle around her. He grabs her around the upper chest "locking" the umbrella in as they go up the building. When she falls, she has it and she uses it to catch herself on the statue's arm. She doesn't lose it when Ock grabs her again and taunts Spider-Man into attacking him either so she has the umbrella to hit him with at just the right moment.
Corrected entry: Nobody would dare to cut a metal piece with a saw without eye protection, much less in a surgical room, like the surgeon that first wanted to remove Doc Ock's tentacles. This is before they started attacking, so there was no rush.
Correction: After working for a engineering firm I can tell you that people do cut into metal without wearing adequate protection (for the eyes & otherwise). In fact I have a few places where I've been burned by shavings of metal flying off the main piece.
Corrected entry: When Doc Ock first grabs Aunt May the rope that will pull her out of the shot is visible around her waist before the CGI tentacle covers it.
Correction: The rope that grabbed Aunt May came from inside the tentacle. It wrapped around her waist and pulled Aunt May into the grasp of the tentacle. He probably did it this way as opposed to the way he always grabbed Peter/Spider-Man so that he wouldnt hurt her as much. He did the same thing when he grabbed Mary Jane in the diner scene.
Corrected entry: When Dr. Octavius first attaches the mechanical arms to his body, he turns to the audience in his lab and lets the harness click around his waist, then the long spinal-control thing attach to his back. Needles which interface with his nervous system sink into his flesh, which is gross for the audience to watch, because they all flinch and/or groan in disgust. However, as he was facing them, and thus they couldn't SEE those needles, what were they disturbed about? Also, there's no way the tentacles' cameras could have shown it on the TV screens nearby - they were not activated yet.
Correction: Two possible answers. One, the noise is sufficiently gross that their imagination does the rest. Two, that Octavius's implement has been somewhat explained to them beforehand, so that when they hear the apparatus and see Ocatavius wincing, they know exactly what is going on.
Corrected entry: In the diner, Doc Ock tells Peter to have Spider-Man meet him at 3:00 at the West Tower. So it is between 3-3:30 when Ock captures Spider-Man on the train. He doesn't deliver him to Harry until it is night. Considering he was in a rush to get the tritium, he waited an awfully long time to deliver him.
Correction: New York is a big city, and Doc Ock essentially had to walk the whole way to Harry's mansion. It could've taken hours to get there.
Corrected entry: In the scene where M.J. gets into the taxi (on the evening Peter comes to the theater), you can see other people leaving the taxi with there luggage on the other side. After a cut on Peter Parker the doors of the taxi on the other side are closed, and no one to be seen near the taxi. There is not enough time that they get so far with their luggage.
Correction: They don't have to get far, since they almost certainly would have stopped the taxi right outside where they wanted to go they only have to get through the door on the other side of the street.
Corrected entry: Before Peter tries climbing up the wall after his webs fail, he takes his mask off, which comes back on as he is climbing the wall and disappears again as he falls and lands.
Correction: The mask is never on while he's climbing the wall.
Corrected entry: When Peter and Mary Jane are together in his apartment at the end of the film, the collar of Peter's t-shirt keeps changing positions underneath his sweater. Sometimes it is fully visible all the way around, sometimes it's higher on the left or right side, and during the closer shots it isn't visible at all.
Correction: I thought this was correct, but you can see that the collar doesn't changes at all is the camera position and with this you see the collar from different angles and it looks as it had been moved. On the closer shots you can't see it because the shot starts at the middle of the neck you can't even see the collar of the sweater.
Corrected entry: After Spider-Man lowers Mary Jane from the web on the crane and he's leaving, he shoots a web. The crane is very tall and there's nothing taller anywhere nearby. Spider-Man shoots the web upwards. There's nothing for the web to attach to.
Correction: In the scene before MJ and Spidey talk on the crane you can see at least 4 or so other cranes all within web slinging distance so he could have just attached to one of them. He shot upwards because the web does not fire perfectly straight and he would need to take its trajectory into account.
Corrected entry: When Peter discovers that he'll never be able to deliver the pizzas on time by way of his scooter, he disappears into an alley and re-appears as Spider-man, and swings away, carrying only the pizzas with him. When he emerges from the maintenance closet of the building where the pizzas were to be taken, he's wearing his regular clothes... how did he get those clothes back when he apparently left them in the alley?
Correction: This is a commonly used movie convention for Marvelite super heroes. The same goes for Superman etc. They all wear fancy costumes underneath their clothes (it must be really, really hot), many have capes (where do they hide it) and most have special shoes (underneath their own shoes... I doubt it). I wouldn't consider it an error... it adds to the superness of the super hero.
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: When in the beginning of the movie Peter Parker is delivering eight pizzas to an office, he stumbles out of a janitor's closet. You can see the stack of pizzas standing inside the closet. In the next shot, Peter pushes back the brooms and closes the door, but without removing the pizzas. Still, in the following shot, he picks up the pizzas which have now miraculously moved outside the closet.
Correction: It's quite difficult to see, but he actually chucks the stack of pizzas out of the door before he tries to shut it.
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: In the scene where the fusion test goes wrong and the magnetism becomes very strong, you can see that there is a computer very close to the source of the magnetism, yet the computers are not affected in any way. A computer would be very screwed up by that level of magnetism.
Correction: If this is Otto's life work, you'd imagine he'd be aware of the magnetic effects and would ensure these were shielded. He appears too self-absorbed to worry about factors not directly related to the experiment, such as watches or walls etc.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Peter Parker is at class in college, his professor asks for eigenvalues. Peter promptly answers in electron volts. Eigenvalues deal with linear algebra and matrices, and have no units. An electron volt is an energy unit, particularly for atomic and nuclear processes.
Correction: Finding Eigenvalues is part of solving many kinds of systems, not just matrix equations. If the problem represents something physical, the Eigenvalues will have dimensions. In fact, solving quantum mechanics problems often involves finding Eigenvalues in energy which are usually expressed in electron volts.
Correction: It's a yellow cake with chocolate icing which many people would call a chocolate cake. It's certainly not a non-chocolate cake.
