Corrected entry: When Spider-Man is rescuing Mary Jane from falling to her death from the balcony, he catches her and spins his web to the balcony to save her and they bungie to just inches from the ground. As they are preparing to bounce back up the shot rotates 90 degrees and you can see the counter weight that pulls them back up coming down to the ground. It's a weird one, this - there's a sound effect as the weight comes into view, so it's meant to be there (or else the sound's just a cover), but it can't be anything he attached his web to, as it was stuck straight onto the balcony. If it's falling, they should be too - his web's not pivoting around anything. (01:06:50)

Correction: I genuinely don't understand this mistake. It's just a piece of debris falling. It looks absolutely nothing like a "counterweight," nor is it big enough to be. It's the exact same color, texture and relative size as the larger pieces of debris on the ground below them. (Furthermore, you can see other, smaller pieces of debris falling around them during the two shots as well.) And the reason they spring back up is because the web is somewhat elastic in quality. This is shown multiple times throughout the movies. He stuck the web to the balcony, and they sprang back up as bits of debris continued to fall. There's no mistake here.

Continuity mistake: Bone Saw had four valets during the wrestling scene yet during the cage match he's only got three at ringside, one of the two blondes disappears.

Suggested correction: I just loaded up the scene. All four of them are definitely there during the cage match. There's even several shots where you can see all four at the same time.

Correction: They bounce back because of the elasticity of the web. That falling block is just a falling piece similar to the long one that is already on the ground, it's not a counter weight.
