The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Spider-Man is receiving the key to the city just after he kisses Gwen, we see MJ walk away and Harry standing next to her asking if she's okay, in this shot we can see her handbag has slid down her arm and is resting on her forearm, yet when the sandstorm breezes through, the angle cuts to the back of MJ and Harry and in this shot we can see the handbag is still on her shoulder.

Continuity mistake: When Peter is blinded by the metal pen in class, he covers his eye and forehead. A frame later, the new angle shows his hand away from his face, covering part of the eye and cheek.
