"On the Australian version of the soundtrack, "I Am" by Killing Heidi appears as Track 17"
Was "I Am" in the spiderman movie? If so, why would it be only be put on the Australian version? If it was not in the movie, what would lead it to be added in the first place?
What metal are Doc Ock's tentacles made out of in the movie?
Since we have a spoiler template above the plot summary should it be below everything that isn't a spoiler except external links? RJFJR 22:43, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
I don't think that would be neccessary. If it doesn't give away the end of the film, then you won't need the spoiler template above it. Graham P. 5:53, 31 March 2005 (UTC)
Uh, that discussion of Molina and Octavius' different ethnicities.. I could swear Octavius didn't so much speak 'American English' as having a heavy thick German accent, which Molina lacked severely... along with the bowl cut, shades, megalomania, and heavy build that characterize Ock.
Can anyone explain why I am unable to view the photos that have been placed on this page? They all have X's in the upper left-hand corners. Scorpionman 02:10, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
On the page for Doctor Octopus, in the segment about the film incarnation, it says this:
"Doctor Octopus sinks down after it, and appears to die. This however, may not be the case as a special feature on the DVD strongly hints that he survives."
I've rented the dvd from netflix, but only got the first disc, which means the majority of special features is on the second, which I don't have. Can someone explain what the special feature hinting at Ock's survival is?
Is all of the information about the budget really neccesary? 67.142.130.34 00:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone what the deleted scenes are for this movie?
As you may know, there is a fight scene between Doc Oc and Spidy on the side of a building. Is this a reference to the episode "The Terrible Triump of Doctor Octopus" in the 1967 TV cartoons? In both shows... Image:SpidySplat.jpg
-- 71.118.168.253 08:12, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Personally I think this is another case of "generic features of many spiderman fights" rather than a reference to the cartoon. Things falling off buildings, Aunt may being dragged along, webs-to-the-face and fightin on rooftops have all been done elsewhere before in the comics, often together.
I tried to clean up the trivia section a bit. I removed things that were hardly trivia or just not really that important to be noted, and things that would need some form of source to verify the authenticity. I still think it needs a bit of work. Bignole
It depends, certain things were soley the series. Bignole 20:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Why do these have to be mutually exclusive? I think that a new extended cut is notable enough to get its own section, especially since it debuted on TV before it was on DVD. I think we should have a 2.1 section, and if its considered necessary, add a separate DVD release section. - Joltman 17:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
"The film used the Spydercam to a greater degree" This is the first and only place this is mentioned in the article. Can we get a definition here? -- Knulclunk 04:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC) Tylea002 15:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
The Spydercam paragraph makes no sense. Is it a real camera? Perhaps it should be written like this:
"The film uses a specially designed motion control camera attached to a pulley trapeze system that could be dropped 50 stories at a time called a "Spydercam". The Spydercam can also shoot film 6 frames per second, twice standard film speed."
Or something like that. --

In summary, most of the changes are copyedits and hence i am going to move it to GA. I believe that the article needs more depth esp in the production side for it to make it to FA, though the coverage is OK at GA level. -- Kalyan 10:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
In the article, there is the comic panel that depicts Peter walking away from the Spider-Man suit in a garbage can, and the shot from the film that recreates the scene. However, could we get a picture that puts the two pictures side-by-side? I think that would help in seeing how the scene was recreated. What I'm thinking, basically, is merge the two pictures. Anybody else think this is a good idea? Anakinjmt 01:09, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Many recent films articles (i.e. Into the Wild, Eastern Promises, No Country for Old Men) include a section chronicling their appearance on critic's year end lists. Spider-Man 2 has appeared on at least six such lists. If anyone would like to add such a section, the following link could serve as a reference.

There's a 14 or 15 year old rumor that gets brought up once in a blue moon, that the Punisher made a cameo appearance in the film, but the only thing these people are basing that on is that the guy somewhat looks like Thomas Jane (opinion) and is wearing all black... that's it. But now there saying it was his stunt double from the film, but it's never been proven from anyone, no "quotes" or statements, they claim it's from a Wizard Magazine and the audio commentary, but after 14 or 15 years, no one has quotes what they've said. Story wise it makes no sense, also, Sony didn't own the rights to use the character, they would have gotten sued by Lionsgate. I want see the statements from the filmmakers and I want to hear an audio recording from the commentary, is that too much to ask for???? 108.208.137.67 ( talk) 04:00, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
Toward the end of the movie, it was rumored that The Punisher (2004) was noticeable, as that movie was based on a spin-off character from Spider-Man's comic book. This turned out to be false and is only someone who resembled Thomas Jane. This is purely coincidental. He was never intended by the makers to be the Punisher.[1] At first, WhatCulture seems to confirm the rumor:
In the final scene of Spider-Man 2 when Mary Jane runs through New York in a wedding dress she draws the attention of a guy in a black trench coat. You'd be forgiven for thinking his obvious turn is a scene stealing attempt from an extra, but the truth is much more exciting; it's Punisher. And no, this isn't a crazy fan theory like my article last year on Deadshot in The Dark Knight Rises; the audio commentary reveals that is most certainly the serum-less super soldier who gives mob bosses nightmares.But the rumor is actually refuted later in the same paragraph:
Produced about the same time as the 2004 adaptation of the character, the producers wanted Thomas Jane to make an appearance as Frank Castle, but due to Sony not having the rights his stunt double was used instead.[2] Let it be clear that neither of these sources can be used in the article.
