Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who played Mary Jane Watson?

Answer: Kirsten Dunst

She did a great job, but personally I felt Alicia Witt ("Urban Legend") would have made a better Mary Jane. Kirsten Dunst is too pop culture for me to buy her, especially as a redhead, and I think Alicia Witt is a wonderful, underappreciated actress. She was considered briefly for this role.

2. Who played Harry Osborn?

Answer: James Franco

James Franco is a great actor from the canceled TV show, "Freaks and Geeks". He is also in the movie "City by the Sea" with Robert DeNiro, out in the fall of 2002.

3. What is Harry's father's name?

Answer: Norman

A.K.A. the Green Goblin, of course.

4. Harry becomes the next Green Goblin.

Answer: True

I like Goblin and all, but I'd really like to see the symbiote storyline brought into play, with Venom and Carnage.

5. Who directed "Spider-Man"?

Answer: Sam Raimi

Sam Raimi is an amazing director with movies like "Quick and the Dead" and "The Gift" to his credit.

6. Who wrote the screenplay to this movie?

Answer: David Koepp

M. Night Shyamalan is the genius behind "Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable".

7. In the movie, Green Goblin kidnaps Mary Jane and throws her off a bridge. In the comics, which former love of Peter Parker's was this storyline originally written for?

Answer: Gwen Stacy

Gwen Stacy was Peter's first girlfriend. In the comics, Green Goblin throws her off the Brooklyn Bridge, and Spidey shoots out a web to save her-- but the web connects to the back of her neck and snaps it, tragically enough.

8. The movie takes place in New York City. Which borough does Peter live in during his high school years?

Answer: Queens

Several shots are taken directly from Queens itself. In the comic books, he lives near Forest Hills.

9. What borough does Peter live in during college?

Answer: Manhattan

This is reflected in several shots. There is a great one of the Empire State Building. At the end, where Spidey is webslinging, the last shot was supposed to be of the Twin Towers with Spidey on top of them. Sam Raimi removed this and replaced it with the patriotic image of the flag waving.

10. Aunt May makes an ironic inside joke to Peter regarding another famous superhero. Which one?

Answer: Superman

Quite funny, though overplayed in commercials and the like.

11. Several of Spider-Man's costumes were stolen during production.

Answer: True

Some originals designed in the style of the Alex Ross costume were stolen before filming, so they went ahead with the regular Spidey costume. At the end of filming, even some of those got stolen.

12. What is the name of the process used to fuse the images of CGI Spidey and the real-life backgrounds of NYC together?

Answer: photogammetry

This technique is quite complicated. There were several problems with making the CGI, 3D Spidey images fit with essentially 2D photo stills. Because of this, they had to texture the 2D photo stills and make them 3D in the computer. This involved altering the fronts of the building a little as well-- the whole process is called "photogammetry."

13. The theme song for this movie, "Hero", is sung by whom?

Answer: Chad Kroeger

Chad Kroeger is the lead singer of Nickelback, but sings this song without them.

14. Who is the creator of "Spider-Man", the concept?

Answer: Stan Lee

Stan Lee also created "X-Men" and "the Hulk". He makes a cameo in "Spider-Man" in the World Unity Fair scene, as a worried citizen. In the movie "X-Men" he is a hot-dog vendor.

15. Who played the ornery J. Jonah Jameson?

Answer: J.K. Simmons

I thought he really brought J. Jonah to life, which is a real feat because that character is adored in the comicbook world. This guy also provides the voice for the yellow M&M in commercials for the candy and was on the TV show "Oz".

16. Who plays Uncle Ben?

Answer: Cliff Robertson

This honored actor has taken to only selecting a few roles in his older years. I think his role as the important Uncle Ben only added to his career.

17. Who plays Aunt May?

Answer: Rosemary Harris

18. Who played the Green Goblin?

Answer: Willem Dafoe

An wonderful actor who was also in "American Psycho" and has over 40 movies to his name.

19. How much money did "Spider-Man" make domestically in its opening weekend?

Answer: 114 million

It set a record for the most money on opening weekend.

20. Just for fun, what is Spidey's real name?

Answer: Peter Parker

The others are other famous superheroes...Hulk, Cyclops, and Superman. Thanks for taking the quiz...watch out, there goes the Spider-Man!
