Trivia

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar's initial script draft had Spider-Man doing battle with Doctor Octopus, the Lizard and Black Cat.

Share this

Although Dr. Curt Connors appears in this film, the character of Otto Octavius in this film is actually closer to that of Connors in the comics: a sensitive, brilliant mentor, who is driven mad by an experiment gone awry to become a monstrous villain (Connors becomes The Lizard, Octavius becomes Doc Ock).

Share this

It was Neil Spisak's idea to use a collapsed pier as Doc Ock's lair to reflect a warped version of Dr. Octavius's old lab and express how his life had collapsed and grown more monstrous, evoking Fritz Lang's work and the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). The set was 60*120 feet long and 40 feet high, and took 15 weeks to build. A quarter-scale miniature was built for its collapse.

Goofs

Flipped shot: Near the end of the film, while Peter Parker/Spider-Man is on top of the large crane, he is in a prone position; and we see a rip in his outfit along the top part of his left thigh. Moments later, the camera re-cuts back to him, and the rip is now on his right thigh.

Share this

In the bank fight scene Doc Ock grabs some money bags to throw at Spider-Man. A little while later he grabs the same money bags again.

Share this

Peter's powers return indefinitely after Doc Ock kidnaps Mary Jane. Peter notices this because he no longer needs his glasses. The shots from his POV change between clear and blurry, glasses off or on respectively. When the shots are blurry, the audio is ramped down.

May Parker: [after Spider-Man saves her life] Ohh, have I been wrong about you!

Harry Osborn: He humiliated me by touching me.

Q

A Note Regarding Spoilers

A

The following FAQ entries may contain spoilers. Only the biggest ones (if any) will be covered with spoiler tags. Spoiler tags have been used sparingly in order to make the page more readable.

Q

How many different cuts of this movie are available?

A

Basically, there are three different cuts available throughout the world. First of all there is the well-known theatrical version (1) that has been altered prior to the British cinema release by Sony and unfortunately found its way to nearly all PAL-DVDs (2): One headbutt has been replaced with a normal punch. The US-DVD is uncut. You can find a detailed comparison with pictures here. Then, just in time for the theatrical release of Spider-Man 3 an Extended Cut (3) has been released to the home media market that runs approx. 8 minutes longer than the theatrical version. This extended version features several different kind of new scenes: story extensions, romance, action but in principle this extended version is only worth for the die-hard fan. A detailed comparison between the theatrical versiond and the Extended Cut can be found here. And by the way, the European versions of the Extended Cut are still altered in the same way as the theatrical version, thanks to the BBFC and Sony.

Q

What's the song playing when Peter gets ready to go see M.J.'s performance?

A

"Hold On" by Jet.
