Did you know

• (at around 24 mins) When Peter flips over an oncoming car, Tobey Maguire performed the stunt himself. A stuntman also performed it, but Sam Raimi thought Maguire's looked more natural so he used his instead.

• The train fight between Doc Ock and Spider-Man was the idea of director Sam Raimi and the first major sequence to be filmed.

• Costume designer James Acheson made subtle changes to Spider-Man's costume from the previous film. The colours were made richer and bolder; the spider emblem was given more elegant lines; the muscle suit underneath was made into pieces, to give a better sense of movement; and the helmet Tobey Maguire wore under his mask was also improved, adding a false jaw for better movement and magnetic eyepieces which were easier to remove.

• Was Doctor Octopus under a spell like Norman Osborn was, or was Doctor Octopus just pure evil?
