The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Spider-Man is receiving the key to the city just after he kisses Gwen, we see MJ walk away and Harry standing next to her asking if she's okay, in this shot we can see her handbag has slid down her arm and is resting on her forearm, yet when the sandstorm breezes through, the angle cuts to the back of MJ and Harry and in this shot we can see the handbag is still on her shoulder.

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When Peter is blinded by the metal pen in class, he covers his eye and forehead. A frame later, the new angle shows his hand away from his face, covering part of the eye and cheek.

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.

Question: Was Spider-Man's identity ever made public at the end of this movie? He was without his mask several times during the final battle and there were a lot of cameras, so...?

Brad

Chosen answer: There's no evidence to suggest that his identity was compromised at any point.

Tailkinker

Answer: The fight between Sandman, Venom and Spider-Man was high up on a construction site so nobody watching the action from ground level would be able to see his face.
