[edit] Australian version

"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?

[edit] Doc Ock's tentacles

What metal are Doc Ock's tentacles made out of in the movie?

I'm not sure. I think they are specified as non-magnetic though. RJFJR 22:43, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

I remember in an old Spider-Man comic that they were made out of Adamantium. Scott197827 07/02/2006

[edit] placement of plot summary

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.

[edit] pictures

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)

The images are loading properly; if you can't see them, it's a problem on your end. There are, however, too many images in this article in my opinion. dc 11:55, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ock Lives?

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?

[edit] Budget

Is all of the information about the budget really neccesary? 67.142.130.34 00:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted Scenes

Does anyone what the deleted scenes are for this movie?

[edit] The Building Battle

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

• Oc, in the cartoon, holds Spidy up with his tentacles. In the movie, right before the battle, Oc ensnares Spidy in like manner.
• Spider-Man is tossed through a window.
• Spidy splats web on Oc's glasses.
• Aunt May (in the movie) and a bomb known as 'The Nullifier' (in the cartoon) are threatened to be dropped to the city streets while the SuperHumen are on diffrent buildings.
• Oc barely gets away while Spidy is trying to save the innocent (the nearby gawkers and Aunt May in the cartoon and the movie, respectivly).
• And, of course, they were both fought atop two buildings.

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.

[edit] Trivia

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

Should the trivia from the TV series really be there? The TV series itself was just using elements aready seen in the comic!

It depends, certain things were soley the series. Bignole 20:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

True, but at the very least losing his powers wasn't an invention of the TV series, nor was the use of the Green Goblin appearing as a halucination or in a mirror. The bouncer thing is hardly akin to what was in the TV series so much as it is numerous other "I'm late" incidents in Peter's life, and Aunt May getting money from Peter taking pictures? That's been seen more than a few times in the comics. Unless there's some comments from Raimi or the writer citing this debt, there's not reason to say these are specific homages to the cartoon more than they're nods to the source material in general. Vocal_Minority 21:33, 26 August 2006 (GMT)

I totally agree. If you know of ones that are mentioned as Cartoon but originated in the comics then fine, but both need cites to prove their case. Bignole

[edit] john jameson wearing the medallion...

I've just seen the movie again and i looked carefully for the scene where john jameson is wearing the medallion with the moon ruby and i couldn't find it.. is it really in the movie?? in which scene exactly? --PASSIVE (Talk|E-Mail) 21:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spider-Man Trailer Download

Hey, Um I'd hate to ask. But does anyone know where I can download the trailer in Real Media or Windows format? --UnDeRsCoRe 13:23, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which is which

Spider-Man 2 opened in the United States on June 30, 2004 and grossed $40.4 million in its first day; this was the second highest opening day, after The Matrix Reloaded, just inching out over the first Spider-Man's opening day take of $39.4 million.

40.4 or 39.4 on opening day?? Berserkerz Crit 19:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

This should help. Reloaded - 42.5, Spidey 2 - 40.4, Spidey 1 - 43.6. Current holder Pirates 2 - 55.8. Spidey 2 is currently 9th on the opening day records.  BIGNOLE   (Question?)  (What I do)  19:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Doc Oc's Motivation?

Somehow i don't get it, what is Doc Oc's Motivation for re-doing the Experiment? I's not written in the Plot-Summary... I just watched the movie, but somehow i don't get it...
