Spider-Man 2: The End Swinging

[itsleroy]

Okay so - remember how in the first two Spider-Man films we always had like a minute of Spider-Man swinging, doing a bunch of cool acrobatic moves and stuff? Did we ever get an explanation for the stunt double waving his hand after letting go of the strand of web?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch the last scene of Spider-Man 2. It's so obvious, how did the editor not catch this mistake? I don't think Peter Parker was saying hi..

I just watched the scene on Youtube and didn't spot what you're talking about. But, since the entire sequence is CGI, if it's there, it was intentional. Maybe they were paying homage to the 60's cartoon opening where Spidey swings by waving at the camera. In the movie it could've been Spidey waving at onlookers or the choppers that are following him.

There is a really bad bit of physics during the SM2 end swing. At one point he lets go of his web line and basically flies around a corner, very tellingly it's this little bit they cut from the scene when they re-used it at the start of SM3.

Whether they did or not, I don't really think it took away fromt he greatness of that end swing.

I've probably seen this movie a hundred times and never notice this stuff.

.. In the end swing. Come on guys, when he flies out from the side of the building holding the web, he waves his hand!

4:19 - 4:21

Lets go of the web, waves his hand.

I never notice these things, lol.

LMFAO hilarious

That's probably because if you blink you'd miss that wave.

Well, this is odd..

 

[itsleroy]

.. Am I the only one whose ever noticed this?

 

[[A]]

Maybe. That means you got.. the special eye!

Haha I just really checked the scene after reading this thread.. now it looks like he stares right at the camera, at one point. And other stuff, too -- but maybe it's just my mind..

 

[Dragon]

Well he's not waving. No one waves like that (As a gesture toward someone). It might've been a glitch with the CG Model that they didn't want to re-render. It can take days to weeks to render those two seconds. They probably figured it's such an incredibly minor thing.. Who cares really?

 

[[A]]

leroy cares!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

He broke the fourth wall!!!! OMGZ!!!111

 

[The Joker]

Who cares really?

Nit pickers

Between the theater, DVD and YouTube, I've probably watched that sequence over 100 times and have never come close to noticing this.

Perhaps a reward is in order? =/

I also noticed that around the 4:22 mark, he winks at the camera. 4th wall breaking?

 

[itsleroy]

How does Spider-Man blink?

 

[SKSpawn]

Looks to me like he's waving at the firetrucks

 

[RustyCage]

To me it's like he's going 'agh! I got some of that web stuck to my hand! get off!'
