Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes

Jon Sandys writes "Spider-Man 2 may have won over the critics, but the hard-nosed bastards at moviemistakes.com are listing 31 mistakes already - and no, not nitpicky stuff that's different from the comics. A scar swaps sides on Peter Parker's face and dummies are visible in hurled cars, not to mention the numerous errors involving tritium which I'm sure Slashdot readers will enjoy refuting. Read the complete listing on the Spider-Man 2 page." Also, people bitten by spiders don't generally become ultra-powerful.

32 already

I'm surprised that nobody noticed this biggie:

In one scene, Spiderman is leaping and twirling like he's a male gymnast. Then in the next, he has a heterosexual love interest.

As someone who got First Post in a Slashdot Spider-Man article, I highly doubt you are qualified to make such a differential assertion.

Brilliant :)

So... what are you doing this evening?

IT"S A MOVIE, FOR CHRIST"S SAKE!

"Also, people bitten by spiders don't generally become ultra-powerful." Unless those people get bitten by RADIOACTIVE spiders. Why do you people even bother going to the Cinema, if you are that goddamned critical? Why were there explosions in space in Star Wars? Because, they fucking looked cool exploding in space.

Since the first movie I've been wondering why the webs come of out his wrists. What aspect of the mutation brought about this particularly useful super power? If he was really taking on the properties/abilities of a spider, would they not shoot out of his arse? Or somewhere thereabouts ...

(p.s. IANAP... tachyons are still considered only theoretical, right?)

Certainly not! How else could I be writing to you ... FROM THE YEAR 3004 AD!!!!!

Oh and btw, don't take the bus on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012. Seriously. You don't affect history, but your son was captain of the first Earth-Saturn probe.

I beg to differ, I did indeed become ultra powerful after being bitten by a spider...

Or perhaps that was after I licked that toad...

Either way, definately ultra powerful.

More mistakes and trivia

[rfernand79]

Oh yes, and the soundtrack also has mistakes. Two canons are horrendously overlapped, the motif is altered by two notes in several reprisals and if you listen to it backwards it says "Jay and Silent Bob are better than Spidey".

Hurting people, with science

[sam_handelman]

Factual Error: When real scientists cybernetically attach themselves to an artificial intelligence, we use two, seperate, completely redundant systems to prevent ourselves from being turned evil.

One more mistake

[yoshi1013]

Also, Tobey Maguire isn't Spider-Man in real life, he's just an actor.

Deliberate "mistake": When Mary Jane is being pulled toward the tritium when Doc Ock has her, the shot is taken from her feet up to her head. If you look where her dress ends, you can just barely see that instead of having the regular open dress, it is switched with shorts of the same type so you can't see under her dress. Submitted by Guy Strad

I hate it when I can't see up an open dress. . .especially if it's Kirsten's dress.

Lone Taxidriver

[CptChipJew]

At the end of the "I've changed" conversation with Mary Jane, the taxi is right next to her (you can see its roof next to her face), yet in the next shot, she has to cross the street to get to it.

Because as we all know, there is only one working taxi in New York City.

Lots of No-Prizes will be awarded...

[tomRakewell]

Don't you guys get it? You're not supposed to just point out the mistakes, you're supposed to *explain how they are not really mistakes at all.* Then, you write into the letter page of your favorite Marvel comic book and claim your No Prize!

The biggest problem with spiderman

[earthforce_1]

Spiders don't spin web from their wrists.

But I suppose a bit of realism here would give the movie (and comic book) an "X" rating. Would have been funny to see him net bad guys that way though...

Errors, you say?

[dema]

I have found a few errors on their website (:

Re:Evil Dead - Army of Darkness

[MrPoopyPants]

I thought the chainsaw in the operating room was an obvious homage to the Evil Dead movies. I've never heard of a medical chainsaw... but I'm not a doctor.

of course not! the spider has to be radioactive, silly.

Re:My Favorite Mistake

[stuffman64]

Was it just me, or was there a continuity error involving MJ's nipples? In the scene near the end where spidey holds up the wall to prevent it from falling on her, I thought I saw MJ nippin' pretty bad just before the wall fell. Then, as spidey is standing over her holding the wall, her nipples are no longer showing through.

Of course, I may have just have been wishing her hardcore nippage from earlier in the movie was still there. Anyone else notice this?
