The Hole: Doc Ock Says Hello

Still the best Spider-Man movie, Sam Raimi's second take on the Spider-Man property nevertheless includes a head-scratcher of a plot hole that fans seem to largely ignore because it makes for an impressive and engaging action sequence that shows off the power and menace of the film's chief villain Doctor Otto Octavius.

When Ock learns from Harry Osborn that he may be able to find Spider-Man by consulting with Peter Parker, the now unhinged villain chooses to open his consultation by throwing a car at the cafe that Parker and Mary-Jane are sitting in.

Yes, Doc Ock is now probably clinically insane, but he still retains higher brain function and the intelligence needed to complete his work, so why does he choose to throw a car at someone he needs to get information from?

He also has no idea that Parker is Spider-Man at this point, so why the animosity?
