The Spiderman Easter Egg / Cameo list

Since IMDB's list of trivia is woafuly incomplete, lets compile our own list of easter eggs and cameos spotted in Spiderman

Cameos:
* Bruce, of course as the Usher who bars Peter from entering the theater

* Ted Rami again in JJ's office in a couple of spots.

* Stan Lee dodges debris in the Bank Fight scene. He's REALLY brief, much more so than his other marvel comic movies. Just a quick flash running past in the background of one shot.

* Sam's Car, in the Ben/Peter heart to heart scene.

Easter Eggs:
* The Doc Ock operation has a ton of Sam Rami-isms. The chainsaw looked more at home in Evil Dead than in Spiderman

* The Spidey suit in the garbage looking JUST like the comic cover (or was it actual comic art on the inside?)

* JJJ's "How about. . . Doctor Strange? Naw, it's taken."

Foreshadowing:
* Doc Connors, splanting the seeds for the Lizard, should they ever use him

* JJ's son - setting up the Man-Wolf/Spider Slayers for a future movie?

* And of course Green Goblin 2.0 at the end.

Was there anything else I missed?

Didn't Stan Lee actually save someone and say "Look Out!" from debris rather than dodge himself in his very brief appearance?

Hal Sparks, I think from Queer as Folk, but I know he's on the VH1 "I Love The" specials in the elevator with Spidey. I cringed when I saw him thinking it'd get cutesy, but it was hilarioiusly underplayed.

Could you envision Jake Gyllenhall in this role?

Another moment when Doc Ock is in the operating room, you see the POV of one of his arms as it snakes over to a surgeon, and it looks exactly like the POV of the "evil presence" from Evil Dead.

My friend said, "I almost think that was intentional" and I said, "I know it was."

And Bruce's cameo was completely classic. Much better than in the first one.

Raimi's friend Brent Briscoe, of A Simple Plan, plays the garbage man who finds Spider-man's suit.

Yes.

He would've been a fine replacement.

I noticed this too. You can't beat a movie that has Chappelle's Show character cameos.

The Classic also appears behind Aunt May when she is packing up her belongings outside the house.

The "are you still living in the village" line? How is Greenwich Village an easter egg?

Yeah, I'm quite sure the "Village" line was not meant to be a reference to Shymaladingdong's new flick. Greenwich VIllage is one of New York's best known neighborhoods.

Agreed... I don't think it was a Shyamalan reference at all... just New York talk...and in fact, when Dunst was supposed to be in that flick, it was called THE WOODS... Spidey 2 was probably done shooting by the time they decided to rename the flick The Village.
