Editing Doctor Octopus (Raimi) (section)

==Trivia==

*'''Tentacle Design''': Each of Doctor Octopus's mechanical tentacles was made up of 76 individual pieces. Four people controlled them, rehearsing each scene with Alfred Molina to ensure a more natural sense of movement. The sound designers intentionally avoided using servo sounds to enhance the illusion that the tentacles were an organic part of Octavius's body.
*'''Tentacle Names''': Alfred Molina gave names to the four mechanical tentacles: Larry, Harry, Flo, and Moe. Flo, the top right tentacle, was tasked with more delicate tasks like removing Octavius's glasses and lighting his cigar.
*'''Alias in the Game''': In the Spider-Man 2 video game, Otto introduces himself as "Doctor Octopus," but in the film, he never adopts this alias.
*'''News Article Easter Egg''': The "Doc Ock Still At Large" news article, shown in ''Spider-Man 2'', can be seen hanging in J. Jonah Jameson's office in ''Spider-Man 3''.
*'''Altered Scene in Spider-Man 2 Game''': In the Spider-Man 2 game, the fight scene with Peter and Otto's death is altered. In this version, Otto's mechanical arm grabs Peter's head and slams it against the wall, also removing his mask. Additionally, Otto destroys the support beams of the building, collapsing the structure, and Otto is possibly crushed before drowning.
*'''Alternate Plans''': Doctor Octopus was originally planned to appear in ''Spider-Man'' (2002) and team up with the Green Goblin. However, Sam Raimi decided not to include him, thinking it would "not do the movie justice to have a third origin in there."
*'''Mask Scene''': Doctor Octopus is the only antagonist in the trilogy whose actions do not damage Spider-Man’s mask. Instead, Peter removes it himself to help Otto remember who he truly is.
*'''Latin Motto''': The inscription over the doorway to Otto's lab reads "Nosce te Ipsum," which means "Know thyself." It is Otto’s favorite Latin motto.
*'''Bartok Project''': The reactor experiment in Otto's lab was nicknamed the "Bartok Project" because Otto admired "that guy's crazy music."
*'''CGI Death''': Doctor Octopus's death scene, where he floats to the bottom of the river, was entirely created using CGI.
*'''Iron Man Connection''': An early draft of the first ''Iron Man'' movie had [[Iron Man (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Tony Stark]] as the one responsible for creating Otto's tentacles. However, this idea was scrapped due to Sony Pictures not wanting to share Spider-Man’s film rights with Marvel Studios at the time. Had it been kept, it would have tied Sam Raimi's ''Spider-Man'' films to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
