Directed by: Sam Raimi
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Alfred Molina, J.K. Simmons, Tobey Maguire, Rosemary Harris
Character mistake: In the start of the film, the sticker on Peter's head for his work misspells the word Bleecker Street on it.
Continuity mistake: Peter back flips off his moped to avoid the car racing at him. There were cop cars and other vehicles behind that car when Peter jumps, but when he lands only one cop car goes past in the lane next to him and the lane he's standing in is then clear of traffic as he talks to some kids.
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).
Dr. Otto Octavius: I finally got lucky in love when I met Rosie here. She was discussing T.S. Eliot, and I was discussing... I still don't know what she was talking about!
Trivia: Dr. Curt Connors, Peter's one-armed teacher in the film, is the man who will later become The Lizard, one of Spider-Man's longest running enemies.
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: 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.

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