The Amazing Spider-Man TASM Easter Eggs / References

[Droogoonie789]

yeah, it looked like Phoebe and joey to me

I thought it was Full House. It looked like the middle daughter and one of the uncles.

The end swing used the pose from the cover of amazing Spider-Man #300 complete with the moon creating the "circle" he's in on the cover

It wouldn't really make sense for it to be full house. Its 2012 and peter is either a junior it senior so he's 17 or 18 which means he was born around 1995. He was 5 years old when his parents disappeared that night so that was the year 2000.....

There are such things as reruns.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Is it just me, or did Dr. Ratha mention the word "Oz?"

No. He says, "The formula is ours now, anyway." His accent is what made it sound like that.

 

[JerseyJoker]

Thought he said OZ too the first time, then realized he was just saying "ours."

 

[Thwip!]

Techincally this is an in-the-game easter egg but i like how Oscorp thugs echo a certain green fella's dialogue from Raimi's Spider-man i.e "IMPRESSIVE"

It's 'Mad About You'.

Just caught this as I was re-watching the 90s cartoon, but in both that and the film, Peter and Curt successfully test the limb regeneration formula on a three-legged white mouse.

Close, but no cigar.

It was a recreation of a pose he pulled in USM #22, the only difference being he's looking/shooting away in the comic.

With the exception of the direction he's facing, his arms and legs are positioned exactly the same.

 

[John Locke]

When Conners is talking to Peter about the different species the last one he mentions is human-lion genetics. Peter even cuts him off. This could be a hint to Kraven.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

It's 'Mad About You'.

indeed. confirmed it tonight. It was totally Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser

This probably wasn't an intentional reference, but when I saw the third trailer (which included the stuff that was cut from the film as it concerned Peter becoming Spider-Man possibly not being accidental), I was immediately reminded of the 1994 Spider-Man cartoon and the "Neogenic Nightmare" story arc from its second season.

Norman Osborn is confirmed NOT to be in the post movie scene guys, here's the interview with Rhys:

Well, the following excerpt from an interview with Rhys Ifans over at Ain't It Cool News certainly makes THIS editorial (written by yours truly) a little pointless, eh? The Welsh actor has confirmed that the "Man in the Shadows" played by Michael Massee was in fact NOT Norman Osborn. However, he goes on to hint that it is instead an established character of some sort involved with Oscorp who MIGHT end up being the villain in the planned sequel currently being written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

Okay, what do you think about that ending?

Well, Connors is basically locked up in a very high-security mental institution.

We were debating whether it was a prison or a mental institute.

It's not a zoo. [laughs] I kept seeing it as maybe a mixture of both. Then a representative from OsCorp appears miraculously in the room. How he gets in there and how he leaves, we don’t know. Maybe we will find out. But it’s not Norman Osborn.

It’s not? You can say that?

Yeah. But it is someone who is in the employ of Norman Osborn without question.

Someone we're familiar with, who we don’t know is employed by Osborn?

Yeah. Who knows? Maybe he will be the next bad guy; we’ll see.


back to the drawing board...I think it's Beck, or Max Dillon (Electro)

 

[The Guard]

It's not Osborn. It's The Green Goblin.

 

[Picard Sisko]

It's not Osborn. It's The Green Goblin.

Haha interesting.

Anyone else hear Dr. Ratha mention the word "Oz" to Dr. Connors before firing him? Maybe I heard wrong.

 

[Bob Executive]

He said ours.

 

[Eddie Brock]

When Connors was giving Peter the private tour of OsCorp, were there any references to other villains? He seems to rattle off a list of fields that OsCorp develops, but I can't remember any off-hand. I'll have to listen closer next time.

 

[The Guard]

Apparently in that digital computer display thing, you can see a scorpion and a rhino. Nice touch.

Nope.

I'm surprised you can't see it actually. His arms and legs are literally in the exact same position, hell, look at the way his feet are positioned, the only difference is the way he's facing.

EDIT: If anything, I'd say it's a mix. The heavier influence being the USM pose. Outside of the moon and the direction he's facing, I literally don't see any resemblance between the issue #300 cover and the movie shot.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Nope.

I'm a little surprised you can't see it actually. His hands and legs are literally in the exact same position, the only difference is the way he's facing.

Well, and his arm is in a different position.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Well, and his arm is in a different position.

And that.

But seriously, am I the only one that sees this?

 

[Eddie Brock]

And that.

But seriously, am I the only one that sees this?

I personally don't think it's a specific reference to any cover or panel. It's just an iconic Spidey pose.
