Spoiler Sunday--Amazing Spider-Man 2's Amazing Easter Egg

Look, I'm about to discuss something in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 film. And even though I'm going to try to be as oblique as hell, it does relate to a massive spoiler.

So if you haven't seen the film yet, go away. Come back later, after you've had a chance to see it. We're not going anywhere.

SPOILER commences after the 5 pictures...

Really, you don't want to go any further if you haven't seen it yet...


You've been warned...

Last chance to bail...

Nice suit, bro.

OK, here there be SPOILERS....

The climactic battle of the film takes place inside a clock tower. And as the innards get torn up and gears go a-flyin', we're given several shots of the clock's face, where the hands are running wild.

And at the moment the battle is resolved, the clock hands cease moving, and we get a shot of the clock's hands stopped at 1:21.

Of course, it's 1:21.

And if you don't get what the 1:21 means, you might want to check this out.

Well played, Amazing Spider-Man 2. Well played. Not as cool as Nick Fury's tombstone, but well done.
