What are some awesome movie facts & details?

 In the 2002 Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker is seen coming to the help of his love interest Mary Jane after she slips inside their school cafeteria. Her lunch goes flying into the air, but Peter (aka Spider-Man) manages to swoop in, stop her fall, and catch all of her lunch items using her tray.

The scene wasn’t made using CGI, nor was it stapled together from different takes. Visual effects supervisor John Dykstra can be heard saying on the movie’s DVD commentary: “This next gag here, where he catches all this stuff, [Maguire] actually did that. Pretty good. Take 156.”
