Jeremy Urquhart is a writer at Collider who focuses on the Godzilla series, the films of Martin Scorsese, and anything in the action genre.
While the main attraction character-wise of any given Spider-Man film is likely the titular hero himself, various minor characters give him a run for his money in the Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man films. Raimi directed three between 2002 and 2007, and they're well-known for many reasons, one of them being how densely populated they are with strange, offbeat, quirky, and unexpectedly memorable one-off characters.
And then there’s also the rather campy elements to a short scene featuring someone known only as “Screaming Woman,” as she unsurprisingly screams a bunch of times while Doc Ock scales the building she’s in. The camera gets right up in her face every time, culminating with her pretty much running directly towards the camera and screaming into it. It’s so silly, but in a way that just kind of works.
7 New Yorkers on Bridge 'Spider-Man' Like the train passengers in Spider-Man 2, there are various New York City citizens in the first Spider-Man who also stand up to that film’s central villain, the Green Goblin, during the final act.
✕ Remove Ads He tries to help Peter propose to MJ, but does misinterpret certain things in the process; seemingly not out of malice, but more just because of the terrible luck that seems to befall Peter/Spider-Man. It’s very farcical and a comedic highlight of a somewhat messy but still compelling conclusion to the Spider-Man trilogy. But, even if it was a total failure, at least Bruce Campbell would be there to soften the blow, reliably entertaining as always.
✕ Remove Ads But the whole “pizza time” sequence has some other memorable minor characters showing up, the best of the bunch being the unnamed man known only as Pizza"Heist" Witness. He sincerely believes that he’s witnessed Spider-Man stealing pizza from Peter, believing them to be different people, and says, with thespian conviction, “Whoa... He stole that guy's pizza!” It’s what cinema is all about, really.
2 Bonesaw McGraw 'Spider-Man' One final celebrity cameo worth highlighting is real-life wrestler Randy Savage portraying another wrestler named Bonesaw McGraw, who ends up being Peter’s first real opponent after getting his powers . It’s within a wrestling ring that could all be a show, which means it’s not quite as high-stakes as later fights, but Bonesaw is effectively intimidating nonetheless.
