Continuity mistake: The first time we hear MJ's answering machine message, she says something along the lines of "Sing your song after the beep, 'beep'" then we hear the electronic beep. The second time it sounds exactly the same, so she hasn't re-recorded it, except this time her message cuts off before she makes the beeping sound.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where there is a crane accident and they can't shut down the power, the police chief arrives on the scene, watch closely behind him, the police car that pulls up has its back window down, we can see this because a cop has his hand on the doorframe, yet in the following shot the window is up.

More quotes from Spider-Man 3

Trivia: A great deal of Flint Marko/Sandman's storyline was edited out of the film by the studio due to the long run-time. One scene early in the film showed that the scientists who accidentally created Sandman were racked with guilt when they discovered they might have activated the machine with a person inside of it. Another scene had Sandman visiting a doctor researching his daughter's rare disease whom he had been corresponding with in prison. Yet another scene showed him following his daughter in a park, and morphing into a giant sandcastle that she plays with. And finally, his daughter was going to appear in the final battle, and would appeal to her father to stop hurting people and living a life of crime to get money, as she accepted that she was going to die no matter what. Her words would be what convinced him to seek forgiveness from Peter for accidentally killing Uncle Ben.
