As a long-time fan of Spider-Man, I must say that these movies have always held a special place in my heart. However, it seems that even the greatest superheroes can make mistakes sometimes, and it appears our friendly neighborhood Spidey is no exception.
The Spider-Man trilogy directed by Sam Raimi holds a special place among the best-loved superhero film series ever made. Paving the way for future comic book adaptations, Raimi’s unique perspective breathed fresh life into the genre and established its significance in elevating superhero movies to acclaimed status. While the overall quality of the trilogy is outstanding, there are a few minor errors that somehow went unnoticed by the production team.
Despite its errors, this trilogy continues to hold up well over time, leaving an indelible mark on the comic book adaptation genre. For instance, Tobey Maguire’s performance in “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is just one example of its lasting impact. The devoted fanbase of this series cannot be overlooked, making it crucial to appreciate both the endearing flaws and subtleties that even ardent fans might have missed.
10 The Fight With Flash
Spider-Man (2002)
The first Spider-Man film is a classic in the comic-book hero genre, an incredible example of practical effects working with CGI, and a film with one of the most convincing villain performances in the Spider-Man franchise. Sam Raimi’s introduction set the tone for arguably the whole Spider-Man franchise beyond just the director’s own trilogy. The beloved trilogy still stands even with modern interpretations and effects. However, this doesn’t exclude the first film from having a series of goofs and mistakes.
In the tense standoff between Peter Parker (Spider-Man) and Barry Allen (The Flash), an enormous group of school kids gathers, creating the illusion of imprisonment for the duo. As the crowd encircles them, the scene transitions to a shot over one of their shoulders, offering a bird’s eye view of the ensuing battle sequence. Remarkably, this camera angle shows that the students have formed two neat lines, clearing a wide path that allows Spider-Man to kick Flash and send him skidding across the floor. By switching to this shot, the film subtly reveals the opening created by the quick-thinking students.
Without a smooth cut between scenes, it stands out that the crowd seems to be getting ready for the action shot to follow. In extreme cases, this can ruin the climactic and most spectacular move that Peter Parker performs on Flash, revealing too much about Peter Parker’s combat prowess early in his transformation into Spider-Man.
9 Aunt May Checks on Peter
Spider-Man (2002)
In his room after getting bitten by an escape spider, Peter Parker was trying out his newfound powers. This led him to hurl various items around his bedroom, such as a lamp near the door. The resulting noise alerted Aunt May, who went to investigate at Peter’s door.
After Peter finishes talking, spider webs unexpectedly materialize throughout the room, a sight Aunt May would have noticed if they were present in the earlier scene. Additionally, the lamp that Peter had broken moments ago while using his web-slinging abilities now lies intact near his bedroom door.
8 Newspaper Close-up
Spider-Man (2002)
1. Following the underground wrestling match where Peter Parker fought, the venue was later robbed, with Spider-Man preventing the crime. However, J. Jonah Jameson’s newspaper headline, while confirming this event, is accompanied by an ambiguous and repetitive quote and paragraph. Though it’s not customary to demand a well-written article in a fictional newspaper, one might expect a more substantial piece when it dominates the scene, especially since it shares equal font size with the headline.
7 Spider-Man’s Mask Falls
Spider-Man (2002)
In the heat of a battle where Spider-Man (Peter Parker) is protecting Mary Jane Watson from a mugger, his mask mysteriously vanishes during the action. However, when he saves her moments later, the mask magically reappears, allowing them to share their iconic kiss in an upside-down position. This peculiarity of Peter’s mask appearing and disappearing randomly throughout the Sam Raimi trilogy is just one instance that contributes to the quirky allure of the series.
6 Where Is the Web Attached?
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Steering clear of common sequel pitfalls, Spider-Man 2 holds its own against the original Spider-Man. In this continuation, Peter Parker delves deeper into his mission of wielding his powers ethically and for the greater good. Similar to the initial movie, Spider-Man 2 boasts a stellar cast, with Alfred Molina’s electrifying portrayal of Otto Octavius standing out. As in the first film, the appeal of Spider-Man 2 is amplified by the human errors that lend authenticity to its high-octane action scenes.
In “Spider-Man 2”, Doctor Octopus can be seen climbing a towering clock tower while battling Spider-Man. Since no other buildings in the scene are as high as the clock tower, it appears that Spider-Man’s web is connected only to the open sky when he swings towards Doc Ock for their fight. Although this inconsistency doesn’t significantly impact the overall storyline, it does provide a humorous and noticeable moment for fans.
5 The Elevated Train
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
The Spider-Man trilogy is based in New York City, but was actually filmed in various locations including Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. To add authenticity, the movies incorporate well-known NYC landmarks and occasionally use east coast slang, reflecting Spider-Man’s background as the friendly neighborhood hero.
In the movie “Spider-Man 2”, regardless of the effort put into its creation, a key scene showcases Peter Parker attempting to halt a speeding train while battling Doc Ock. This scene underscores Spider-Man’s increasing selflessness, yet it’s a bit unusual because the city where this takes place lacks elevated trains, although this detail might not be immediately apparent. However, if the audience is knowledgeable about New York City, they may notice that something seems amiss.
4 The Flipped Taxi
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
As I watch the thrilling unfoldings in this movie, I find myself admiring Doc Ock’s relentless pursuit of Peter Parker amidst his chaotic rampage across the city. In one instance, Otto Octavious deftly flips a taxi onto an open stretch of road. However, as the camera zooms in for a closer look, the very same taxi unexpectedly collides with another taxi. Though this dramatic moment was undoubtedly intended to highlight the film’s impressive action sequences and practical effects, it appears to be an unintended error since the road appeared largely empty before the close-up shot.
3 The Ripped Spider-Man Suit
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
In the iconic moment when I, as Spider-Man, prevented a runaway train from crashing into the city below, my costume was visibly torn and disheveled due to the intense force required to halt the train. The subsequent shot revealed that the rips in my suit’s arm had miraculously vanished.
1. The tears in his suit are haphazard due to the camera switching perspectives while he’s struggling to halt a fast-moving train. This momentary change may disrupt the viewer’s immersion, as the incredible force needed to stop the train seems less dramatic than it appeared mere moments ago.
2 How Well Did Norman Osborn Know Peter Parker?
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
The final installment of Sam Raimi’s trilogy is by far the most controversial. With a much less focused plot, strange character decisions and paths, and poorer effects, this film stands out as a slightly disappointing ending to the trilogy. The one thing Spider-Man 3 has in common with the other films, however, is the abundance of little mistakes it still has.
As a dedicated cinephile, let me share my thoughts on “Spider-Man.” During the first movie, Norman Osborn is presented as Harry’s pal who meets Peter Parker for the very first time. Later in the same flick, Norman hints at being like a paternal figure to Peter, which seems odd given their brief acquaintance of merely a year. However, things take an interesting twist in the third film when Harry, stricken with amnesia, suggests that he and Peter have been frequenting the Osborn residence since they were young lads.
It’s quite unusual, given that Harry’s father seldom joined them, yet it feels almost implausible. Regardless of whether it was intended as a heartfelt remark, it does spark some uncertainty about the depth of Norman Osborn’s relationship with Peter Parker.
1 A Clothed Eddie
Spider-Man 3 (2007)
In the climactic battle of Spider-Man 3, Harry faces off against the symbiote (Venom), and during this fight, Mary Jane Watson throws a brick at Venom (Eddie). Later in the scene, when Spider-Man tries to rescue Eddie, it appears that his back is suddenly covered again.
Although it might not jump out immediately, there’s a significant inconsistency in the costumes used. Similar to the blunder in the suit design seen in Spider-Man 2, such inconsistencies can make injuries appear less severe during action sequences.
