Many Eyes, Shallow Bugs, and Spider-Man

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the entomology-incorrect-pun-goes-here dept.

Danious writes Seems Spider-Man is clocking up 'bugs' at movie-mistakes.com faster than any previous movie (now 95 and counting). The reason, according to this Independent article, is not that it may have more mistakes than usual, but that 'huge numbers of people are going to see it - and that makes for lots of pairs of eyes checking every inch of the screen.' The top movie is currently 'The Matrix' with 147." A lot of the bugs simply aren't really errors, and I'm sure the comic book guys out there can debate them.

    this site is full of ridiculous attempts at uncovering something wrong. after realizing that half of the errors were simply stupid, i expected one that the red in his suit was three shades too dark ...

    here are some of my favorite "errors":

    Why didnt Green Goblin just take off Spiderman's mask when he knocked him out with sleeping gas? Wasn't he interested in knowing who Spiderman really was?

    How come you never see Peter's mouth move when he is talking in the Spiderman costume? The mask is spandex just like the rest of the costume, so you would see evidence of Peter's mouth moving when he talks.

    During the scene when the boyfriend arrives to MJ's house with a new car, the vehicle is clearly a Plymouth Prowler, which has a V6 engine... on the sound track, there's an unmistakeable exhaust note of a very throaty V8.

    kids with too much time on their hands? i think so.

    The reason people call it fake is that they act like they are fighting when they are not. No, this doesn't mean they aren't athletic. But their athleticism is the sort that comes from putting on a good stuntman show, not the kind that comes from actually wrestling. The part in the movie that felt fake is that in real life "pro" wrestling, there would have been choreography coaching beforehand since the "wrestlers" are just putting on a show, not really having a contest where they don't know who is going to win.

    In the movie it was presented like it was a real contest between the participants.
