Spider-man in Sunnyside (Part 4)
This is a really quick post because I am in a rush to prepare for my Sunnyside Spiderman walking tour Jane’s walk. I will come back later and edit this post and add more intersting information and my signature humor.
Continuing from parts 1 & 2 & 3.
This is a quick post, we’ll go over hte first movie from Sam Raimi’s trilogy (aka Tobey McGuire’s):
- 2002’s Spider-Man
Spider-Man (2002)
- The movie starts with Peter chasing the school bus on 44th street in Sunnyside towards Queens blvd. Here we see the 7 train in it’s previous form the Redbird train. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbird_trains.
- Then there is a scene where Peter and MJ leave their houses and walk to school, they are walking on 41st away from Queens blvd, again, the redbird train is in the background. The Redbird stopped operating around 2003, given this movied came out in 2002, it makes sense why the trains are in this movie.
- The first time Peter swings using his web is at the corner of 43rd ave and 44th st
- At the end of the movie the end battle scene is on the Queensboro bridge which connects Manhattan to Queens. And is a famous bridge for movies/tv shows
