Ditto. I noticed the second time a very brief cameo by Stan Lee. For one that grew up devouring each Spidey comic and liking the first installment, this one is a dream come true. Like many say, this is what every "comic book" movie should be. Of course, they couldn't be. Thats why Spiderman is the most popular comic book character ever, for 40 years. Cliche: I laughed, I cried....

Sam Raimi is notorious for including cameos of his friends and family. There was also a role for his brother, Ted (formerly Joxer on TVs Xena), who played the editor kid who couldn't come up with a name for Doc Oct. Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead fame was also in the flick as the theatre usher who gave Peter a hard time.

Sam, Ted, Rob Tapert (also part of the Xena family and married to Lucy Lawless. Lucy had a cameo in the first Spidey movie as a punk rocker who said Spidey was kinda hot) and Bruce Campbell were a 'fab four' of upstart film makers/actors from Michigan. Today, through all their fame, they've still managed to stay together as the best of friends.
