Spider-Man (2002) Full Movie Breakdown! Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

welcome back to the rockstars i'm eric voss and sam remy spider-man established our web slinging dope with charm action and because it's sam raimi amazingly can't be jump scares that's a cute outfit did your husband give it to you whoa it's 2002. you may know or like later takes on peter parker better but trust me most of what you love about spider-man has its dna rooted in this film and i'm gonna break down this full movie scene by scene for all the hidden details and interesting easter eggs that you might have missed i definitely found some new stuff so let's do this let's go back to the real beginning the opening credits dissolve into an actual spiderweb creamy hid spiderwebs and pest control jokes throughout this movie peter's bedroom wallpaper the sign outside he and harry's apartment in new york a terminix pest control sign in times square his whole world is a spider web and there are a lot of things trying to exterminate him mary jane watson makes the school bus driver stop for peter later when she gets a ride from friends there's no one to stop the bus so peter misses it implying that mj has to do this for him every day his bully flash thompson is played by a young joe manganello and i say young despite all of these actors in their 20s playing teenagers that's just the way it was done then how do you do fellow kids and this can't sit here nerdy girl was confirmed to be liz allen a classmate and love interest of peter parker in the comics on the field trip peter geeks out some spiders change colors to blend into their environment it's a defense mechanism harry rolls his eyes out but then steals spiders can change their color to blend into their environment really yeah it's a defense mechanism actually it's interesting that colors come up because the color palette is central to this film peter is often shown in red and blue meanwhile the color green represents a threat kind of like the wicked witch of the west green is everywhere the floors and the vapor at oscorp their graduation the evil dish evil candles evil wall paint lurking behind uncle ben before he croaks peter bleeds through his green shirt at thanksgiving while norman wears peter's colors the hero and the villain in a mutual masquerade after their collision but this early line about color camouflage establishes a reason to all this see normally green is a natural camouflage shade it's an earth tone traditionally symbolizing goodness heroism but in a bustling urban jungle like new york you're less likely to see green while outside of central park then you are colors like the flashing red and blue of emergency lights that is the natural camouflage peter uses to blend into his city's surroundings as an emergency responder and there's a deeper significance to the symbolism that we'll get to at the end of this breakdown the genetically modified spiders list all of peter's superpowers that'll later have arachnids from all three groups possess very strange intricate funnel-shaped web whose strands have a tensile strength proportionately equal to the type of high-tension wire which builds with nerve conduction velocity so fast that some researchers believe it almost borders on precognition as spider-sense yeah we got it but hey clever foreshadowing there with the bridge cable mentioned setting up peter using his webbing to suspend a bridge cable car in the final act and the whole idea of his webbing tensile strength being like steel cables comes into the sound design of the webbing which sounds like bending metal when green goblin breaks through later one of these photos peter takes of mj shows back up framed in spider-man 2. see kids in 2002 being a bit of a creeper was okay as long as she later declares her love for you at her friend's dad's funeral at oscorp norman osborne the perfectly cast willem dafoe butts heads with dr mendel strom who in the comics is the villain robot master also gaunt we solved the horizon glide and the multi-g balance issue back to formula horizon glide multi g balance issues those are the same glider fixes peter disables in the later battle but norman murders his chief glider engineer sadly ironic since his eventual death is caused by a glider oversight whoopsie peter and norman gain their power simultaneously peter from a red and blue natural source norman from a green unnatural one and peter wakes up tuned and strangely tan actually a few years ago fans spotted how raymie blurred the whole frame to show peter's blurry lenses that he doesn't need because he now has better vision but later in spider-man 2 raymie fixed that so that only the lenses themselves are out of focus when this happens at school peter catches mj a stunt that toby maguire performed practically though not after 156 takes as myth may have you believe it took toby several takes but that number 156 came from bfx artist john dixtra joking on the movie's commentary he said here we go take 156. they didn't do 150 takes they just did a lot of them but people don't understand jokes and bloggers need clicks so here's how they did it the slip and the throw were separate takes but then in the close-up of toby he did catch them from prop guys dropping them just above frame but if you look closely you can see adhesive on the bottom of the apple to keep it from rolling and there are hidden magnets in the jello and in the milk carton so that they would land together still not an easy stunt now famously unlike peter parker's classic web shooter tech sam raimi decided to make peter's webbing in this movie emit organically from his wrists and the first time it accidentally squirts out here he's inadvertently doing the hand gesture explaining why he has to do that gesture later on the roof to trigger this and then two men in their late 20s fight in this high school and peter back bends to see mj upside down briefly a little foreshadowing of their future kissy watching this fight is peter's chess club buddy played by prolific background actor jesse hyman whose many cameos went viral in 2011 he's great but our favorite extra is and always will be bottom line beck tool peter tries to activate the web shazam referencing the catchphrases of dc superheroes superman and billy batson shazam it's a little weird how dc comics exist in this universe you're not superman you know but hey it was the early days before cinematic universes had borders and the billboard that peter smacks into is a car making him a bug crush on the windshield one of peter's suit designs is a black suit with a full chest red spider logo similar to his symbiote black spider-man suit from the 80s comics with the white logo which later became venom notes needs more color another reminder that his vibrant red and blue scheme is part of his identity spider-man 3 be damned and his final design includes visible note off to the side glove will fit over bodysuit showing how he built his suit with a glove flap and a nozzle connecting to his wrist pores which years back fan spotted on the rooftop garden scene peter accidentally shatters his photo frame with himself mae and ben later you can see that he replaced this frame and put the photo beside may's hospital bed norman reads a daily bugle article reveals a bit of history if you look closely married only once to the artist caroline mulder he was divorced after 10 years of what was said to have been a singularly strained and unhappy marriage now actually in the comics norman's wife is emily lyman also in norman's office hangs a portrait of a woman who i assume to be mrs osborne but with this divorce and his later words your mother was beautiful too they're all beautiful until they're snarling after your trust fund like a pack of ravening wolves maybe that's not a woman whose portrait would hang up in his office i think it's more likely this is norman's mother and she wears a black dress and a little later harry calls out mj's cultural appropriation why didn't you wear the black dress just i wanted to impress my father he loves black yeah he likes black dresses because the woman in the picture wears them and later mj does change her wardrobe to try to impress norman by wearing black a great color for thanksgiving for my dad's coming funeral uncle ben drives a 1973 oldsmobile delta 88 honey beige this is actually sam raimi's car he uses it in pretty much all of his movies evil dead dragged me to hell and although it's not the same car it is similar to the 1970 oldsmobile coupe that stan lee drives an avengers in game his final movie cameo feel like that had to be at least a bit intentional to uncle ben and then uncle ben gets a generation of nerds the closing line for their awful high school valedictorian speeches remember with great power comes great responsibility they actually resampled the late cliff robertson's audio from this moment in into the spider verse with great power comes great responsibility but

man randy savage oh yeah cameo says bones on mcgraw who according to an easter egg in spider-man far from home also exists in the mcu octavius spencer appears at the check-in desk and sam raimi lead man bruce campbell cameos is the announcer bruce comes back as the theater usher in spider-man 2 and is a restaurant host in spider-man 3 which led to the great theory that raymie was planning on revealing bruce as an out-of-work performer quintin beck mysterio spider-man 4 that never happened during the chase the squad car has a license plate of 1927 could be an under the birth year of spider-man artist steve ditko or stan lee's comic illustrator colleague john bashema now the nyc montage shows a newspaper article with redundant text don't they know we actually read these comedian jim norton cameos he stinks and i don't like him and lucy lawless cameos guy with eight hands sounds hot but deleted from this montage was a sequence shown in an early teaser in which spider-man foils a heist by webbing a helicopter between the world trade center towers but you can actually see exactly where that was removed from the other side of the transition zooming out from the towers reflected in spider-man's mask eye the towers also appear on the tv screen in j jonah jameson's office speaking of whom the perfectly cast jk simmons does return as jameson in the mcu and spider-man far from home and if you think about it too hard it is super fascinating that these universes are connected like this and the next episode of big question will explain how this and that boson mcgraw crossover and a whole bunch of other cool tie-ins could all be leading to an existing live-action spider-verse so check out that episode james's editor robbie says problem is we don't have a decent picture eddie's been on it for weeks we can barely get a glimpse of it eddie a little not too rival bugle photographer eddie brock revealed as a tuper grace in the third film mj works at the moon dance diner which you rant heads know is the workplace the composer jonathan larson and actor jessie l martin and then you friends heads might know as the former workplace of monica geller mj tells peter don't tell harry and i won't tell harry no don't tell harry i won't a recurring problem for peter keeping his best friend in the dark and driving a wedge in their friendship which becomes norman's final curse don't tell harry peter says i was late for work and dr connors fired me kurt connors shows up in the next film of course in the comics he's the villain the lizard and the primary foe of the rebooted amazing spider-man jameson reviews peter's photos they're crap crap crap mega crap i'll give you 200 bucks for all of them journalistically speaking all of peter's photos are posed and too clean newspapers typically run candid photos clearly capturing a raw moment from a third-party observer so yeah these are crap but you know this is also jameson he has no ethics he's just playing hardball so you take the pictures i'll make up the headlines okay all right that okay with you yes sir by verbally consenting to this editorial arrangement peter legally blocks himself from suing for libel that's slander it is not i resent that slander is spoken in print it's libel and as our friends over at film theorists recently pointed out when peter steals that suit in the next film he legally makes himself a criminal technically proving jameson's libelous headlines true when norman gets fired defoe adds this gross gesture of salivating wiping away his goblin drool he kind of does this later when mae slaps him at thanksgiving when he is stung his inner ratted beast comes out stanley cameos during green goblin's time square attack because who wouldn't want to go see macy gray in 2002 green goblin turns the oscorp board into skeletons also cameoing on his balcony is nicholas hammond who played peter parker in the 70s series and goblin greets mj hello my dear we could see defoe's mouth under that mask he's clearly saying something different to me it kind of looks like somebody stop me peter catches mj first and then webs them both up to the balcony rather than webbing her up from the balcony to try to catch her like a yo-yo because as we know from gwen stacy that's how you snap a net norman gollums with his goblin identity in the mirror and defoe makes this awesome smooth identity transition from glee to horror right as the camera revolves around him as he sees the newspaper and then the sassy daily bugle article describes goblin as some kind of green freak from another world and calls out azcorp's unity festival for celebrating the nebulous theme of unity norman attacks jameson to try to get spider-man's photographer i don't know who he is this stuff comes in the mail you're lying some have pointed out how jamison is covering for peter here but really he's covering his own ass because peter is the one photographer who can supply quality spider-man photos that is bringing him business that's why he doesn't give him up also kind of creepy here how in this scene goblins previously yellow reflective eyepieces now have irises painted in which makes him even more haunting to his later victims those eyes those horrible yellow eyes and i love this the photo that the beagle uses to report the attack is a younger handsomer file photo of jameson of course it is peter saves mj they share their iconic inverted kiosks and mj says i better run tiger tiger is mj's nickname for peter in the comics and gets called back in the final words of the next movie go get him tiger after the burning building attack the thanksgiving party checks in on peter's room bit of a slob isn't he all brilliant men are on the floor is a beaver sweatshirt for camp tamaqua sam raimi's camp when he was a kid and norman judging peter's messy room could be a clue for him pointing to peter's secret double life something norman would understand especially since his inner goblin is always making a mess the jungle out there had to beat an old lady with a stick to get these cramps just like norman's not so subtle work was murder line peter's also making a nod to how he had you beat up goblin to get there when goblin was disguised as an old lady in that fire and harry foreshadows his future right if i'm lucky i'll become half of what he is and later gets a father-son passing the torch moment which leads to this insane part but this jump scare has yet another reason to haunt your dreams because years ago some fans spotted another second goblin hiding behind him now it's possibly foreshadowing harry following his father stepping out from his father's shadow to take on the goblin mantle himself but also five satellite dishes plus goblin is a sinister sin i'm just reaching goblin takes mj to the brooklyn bridge inspired by the eventful knight to quinn stacy died comic which green goblin dangled gwen over the bridge and then he later died via his own glider as he does in this movie the cable slips out of peter's hand leaving a streak of red dye from his gloves and then new york steps up you missed this fight you mess with new york you mess with one of us you mess with all of us and that first guy is actually actor michael edward thomas who returns in the next movie we think there's a kid stuck on the second floor goblin throws a grenade at peter's face the same move that peter will later use on norman's son in spider-man 3 and peter gets the upper hand but norman's final weapon is revealing his identity mr osborne i just love that shot composition with the twisted branch framing his eye don't look at me but of course his confession is a trick to stall peter while the glider gets into position but yeah it doesn't work oh here or when spider-man homecoming does this oh really peter learns the value of anonymity how symbols are more powerful than any man but with great power comes great you know and the cost of this power is human connection don't tell harry norman dooms peter to a life of solitude no harry no mj even no one his enemies can target and that power of symbols returns in the final imagery of this film as i said before the color palette is key peter's red and blue scheme is this city spider's natural camouflage in an environment filled with flashing emergency lights but let's be honest stan lee steve ditko these guys designed the character with flashy patriotic colors to catch the eye and sell more comics in a film that had to adjust after america's darkest moment a movie that celebrates the people of new york you cannot deny the symbolism of seeing this hero framed with the matching colors that draped the city of new york in this time a reminder that symbols can cloak us in great power but that is a precarious path that requires thoughtful responsibility new rockstars host weekly watch alongs of these classic films on our discord server you can join that by becoming a patron at
