Trivia: Although he provided the artwork for the opening titles, artist Alex Ross had a very negative opinion of this film, calling it "sh*t on toast" in an interview with Wizard magazine.

Phaneron ★

Trivia: Director Sam Raimi and composer Danny Elfman had a major falling out during production, and Elfman vowed never to work with Raimi again. As a result Elfman didn't return to work on "Spider-Man 3." However, a few years later, Elfman and Raimi made up, became friends again and ended up working together on several more films, including 2013's "Oz the Great and Powerful" and the upcoming "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."

Trivia: The flowers on the stand are named "carnation" and "snap dragon" as a reference to Carnage and Snapdragon, both from the comics.

Mistakes

Factual error: Considering the brightness of the fusion process, Dr. Octavius has to wear special goggles to be able to see it. Yet no one else in the room is wearing such goggles or seem hurt by watching the whole process, just as at the end of the movie. When welding something, no one can look at the arc that's created, as it would hurt his eyes and burn his retina; presumably, the fusion process would be brighter and more powerful than that, and so should have some kind of damaging effect on everyone's eyesight (except Spider Man's, maybe).

Questions

Question: What exactly does Aunt May mean when she says, "What do you mean 'we'" after Spider-Man tells her, "We sure showed him"? Is she just being modest?

Answer: She's actually being funny because she thinks that she did all the work, instead of Spider Man.

Allyson ★

Answer: I later found out it could have been a reference to a Spider-Man comic. In the comic, after he rescues a girl from a bad guy, she says "We sure showed him!" There is a thinking bubble by Spider-Man's head saying "We?" It's like the conversation in the movie but in reverse.
