Spider-Man 3 (2007) - 22 mistakes

Spider-Man 3 (2007) - 22 mistakes

Continuity: During the final fight scene, Spiderman is talking to Mary Jane while Harry is flying around. There is a shot of the Sandman about to clap his hands together around Harry. As the scene cuts to Spiderman taking off to save Harry and cuts back, Sandman's hands are much farther apart than they were before the cut. Submitted by geoffrey schick

Continuity: In the scene that Harry yells to Bernard (his butler) to get food because they are having a guest, the first shot of Bernard shows a small table with a vase of white flowers on it. In subsequent shots of the butler within this scene, the flowers are no longer on the table.

Revealing: In the shot just after Green Goblin is done dispersing both the super villians and offers his hand to help Spiderman up, watch Green Goblin's face closely when he is first shown from a distance, when his face mask has just rolled up. The right side of his face, which is supposedly disfigured (due to his earlier fight with Peter in his flat), looks normal and smooth. Then in the following shot (after the camera goes back on to Green Goblin from Spiderman lying down looking at him) when the camera shows Green Goblin from close (while Spiderman slowly gets up at the forefront), his face is shown disfigured again.

Factual error: During the fight scene with Sandman in the armor car, the Terminal Tower can be seen in the background, which is a landmark in Cleveland, Ohio (where the scene was shot), not in New York city. Submitted by ctown28

Continuity: When Spider-man is in the bell tower, removing the symbiote, it's raining and dark outside. At the same time Eddie Brock is in the church down below and praying. You can see out of the front door of the church and it is bright and sunny outside. Similarly, every stained glass window is lit up. How can they be lit up if it is dark outside?

Plot hole: Flint Marco has his whole body turned into sand including his belt buckle and any other metal he happens to be wearing. If all of this turned into sand then why was the locket fine without it turning into sand as well? Submitted by Movieman123

Continuity: The stickers on the board in J.J. office change from when Peter first goes in and when Eddie and Peter leave. Submitted by Movieman123

Continuity: In the scene where Peter goes to tell his aunt he is going to marry MJ, she is serving him tea and goes to get milk out of the fridge. It happens fast, but if you watch, she actually pulls Tropicana Orange juice out, then the next shot, she is shown pouring milk for the tea, there is no orange juice on the table or any need for it in tea.

Plot hole: During the "runaway crane" incident, Spider-Man comes to save the crane driver and stop the crane. Gwen is being knocked out of a building, he saves her and then swings off, never at all stopping the crane, or saving the driver.

Continuity: In Harry's hospital scene, in one shot there is a medical device with tubes next to his pillow. In subsequent shots there are tubes only minus the device. In a later scene, when Harry is getting his memory back, his reflection of the hospital scene again has the medical device.

Continuity: During the scene on the bridge where MJ breaks up with Peter, MJ's hair is tied behind her head with a few wisps hanging down and her ears visible whenever she is shown from behind. However, whenever MJ is shown in her own close-up during the same conversation, her hair is down loosely and her ears are completely covered up.

Continuity: When Venom is choking Spider-Man and the Sandman is punching him as a giant, Spider-Man's mask is cut and under his eye that is exposed, there is so little mask that it is about to snap. Later in the same scene, there is a lot more mask there.

Continuity: When Peter meets Mary Jane backstage after her first performance, her hands continue to move on and off of Peter's shoulders between shots.

Continuity: During the battle among Venom, Sandman and Spider-Man, we see a news reporter with an English accent. She is narrating the fight, standing to the immediate right of her cameraman, who is pointing his camera skyward, at the fight. The reporter begins voicing her concern over the outcome. There is a cut to a TV showing the news report, where we see her finish her thought. Except we see a head-shot of her, and not the shot of the battle we should be seeing, considering the positioning of the camera.

Continuity: In the scene where Gwen sees Peter in the restaurant she places one hand on his shoulder. The camera cuts to Gwen's face and she has both hands clasped together in the shot. The shot cuts back out and her hand is instantly down on Peter's shoulder. It cuts back to Gwen one more time and both of her hands are back up near her face. Submitted by Nick Bylsma

Revealing: When the sand man is in the truck of sand and the cop climbs up to catch him, you can see the edge of a platform uncovered. The platform is clearly there so the cop could walk without sinking - he stops right where the platform ends.

Continuity: At the end of the movie MJ is holding onto Harry's hand with both of her hands. There's a quick cut back to a view from farther away. Peter and Harry are in the same positions, but one of MJ's hands has instantly moved down around Harry's chest. Submitted by Nick Bylsma

Continuity: In the scene where Peter asks Harry to help rescue M. J. (from Venom and Sandman), a sitting chair appears to the left of the painting of Harry's father in the last shot of Harry. There was no chair in the other shots of this scene. The sitting chair was by that painting for all of the movie except those few shots.

Continuity: The first time Peter is out and about as black Spidey, Eddie Brock runs up behind him and raises his camera. We then cut instantly to a shot of just Eddie, and he no longer has his camera raised, with no time to move it between shots.

Continuity: When Peter goes to Harry's house to fight him, between shots, Peter's hair moves from over his eyes to the side
