Mary Jane’s father. Norman never abuses Harry but he does abuse his friends so YMMV.

The Green Goblin uses several drugs that dont appear in the real world in order to boost his own strength. This only happens in one scene and does not represent real world drug use

During the scene with spiders at the beginning of the movie, we see a brief close-up of a spider’s face as it bites Peter Parker. This can be pretty distressing to people with arachnophobia so something to keep in mind while watching.

The main antagonist of the movie, Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, has a violent split personality. It may be worth mentioning that the split personality is caused by a faulty serum rather than actual mental illness, but several parallels can still be made.
