President McKenna: What's that?
William Stryker: A jet.
President McKenna: What kind of jet?
William Stryker: We don't know...but it comes out of the basketball court.
When they show a shot of the captured children in the cell, all of the children are barefooted, but when they show the children running in the snow after escaping the dam, a few of them are wearing brown slippers. When did they get a chance to put those on? See more...
There is a sign outside of Magneto's prison, in the metal detector room, which describes the prisoner and the secure environment. At the end of the sign it reads "Do not taunt inmate. Do not feed sweets." See more...

When the X-Men save the children at Striker's installation, they find where they are and then there is a shot where they pan down to them, and in the background you can faintly see Nightcrawler, before he transports down to them. [Dupicate submission.]
When Hank McCoy is shown on the TV screen in the bar, he wants to "round mutants up by the truckload" but in The Last Stand, he obviously wants mutants to fit in. [He was being sarcastic. He says "mabye it would be easier to round mutants up by the truckload" sarcasticly. If we could hear what he says afterwards we would probably hear him defending mutants as he is one.]
If Kurt didn't know who he was before he attacked the President, how did he know he did the angelic symbols himself? [The drug that Stryker used on him only caused short-term memory loss. He made the symbols before Stryker got hold of him.]

When Magneto asks John what his real name is, Wolverine wasn't there to hear it. However,at the end, when Rogue asks where John is, Wolverine says "Pyro?" [Wolverine could have been told Pyro's real name at any point.]
When Colossus opens the door to the hidden passage it opens to the horizontally to the left, but when John, Bobby, Rogue, and Wolverine escape the door closes vertically. [It's a different door. The mansion has multiple escape routes in case one is inaccessible.]
When Nightcrawler is attacking all the guards at the White House, after a guard says "Lock this place down", one of the guards lies flat on his back, yet in the following shot he is on his side. [He could have rolled over when the camera wasn't on him. It doesn't take that long to roll onto your side.]
When William Stryker is in the school and is walking towards Cerebro, there is a large metal box to the right of the screen against the wall, in the following shot a large door has appeared next to it, that wasn't in the previous shot. [There actually is a door there. It's just hidden in a recess like all the other doors.]
In the fight sequence between Hugh Jackman and Kelly Hu in the chamber where Stryker modified Logan, just after they both crash into the glass shelving, there is a shot where you can see the cable pulling Logan into the air. [Actually, what you see is one of Deathstrike's claws. It looks like a wire, but I watched it many times and it's definitely one of her claws.]
At the end of the film, when the President is making his speech, he is interrupted by the X-Men led by Xavier who has stopped all the presidential staff so he can reveal info about Stryker to the President.
This is all well and good but what all about the tens of thousands of Americans who will be watching? They will have seen all of Xavier's brief, unless he could stop that many people without seeing them, or know who to stop out of the entire country. [He or somebody from his crew could easily have switched off the cameras or interrupted the transmission in any other way (they are powerful enough). The people watching would just think that there was a problem with the transmission of the speech.]
The Terminator Connection: 1)The T-1000 in T2 can be summed up by the words 'Blades' and 'Imitation'. Here, Wolverine has the blades, and Mystique has the imitation. 2)Colossus forms a steel skin to avoid bullets, like a terminator's, and also resembles the T-1000 when he does so. [First of all, a Terminator does not form a steel skin to become bulletproof. Either they have organic skin (T 800-series), or they are all metal to begin with (T-1000 and T-X). Secondly, small similarities between movie characters do not necessarily mean they are connected or inspired by one another.]

If you have the DVD of X Men 2, in the scene where Rogue falls out of the jet, right after the shot where Bobby yells out "Rogue" the camera shot moves to Logan who Shouts "No" (If you have the DVD) slow the movie down by 1/2 or a 1/4 and as you watch, you will see Logan look strait into the camera as soon as he turns around. [When Logan turns and briefly glances toward the camera lens, it can be presumed that he is simply glancing at the area of the camera as if the camera is not there.]

In the flashback of Wolverine running out of the Weapon X base he has his dog tag on, but it disappears as he runs out. [No it doesn't. If you look carefully just below the hair line, his dogtag chain is visible signifying he's still wearing his dogtags.]
When the X-Men's jet was about to crash and Magneto saves them by preventing the crash, how did he also know to repair the hole in the back of the jet? As the jet comes to a stop, the nose of the jet is facing Magneto. [Magneto's highly attuned to metals - as we see when he picks up on the metal in the guard's blood - and things constructed using them. When he took control of the plane, he sensed the disruption caused by the attack and bent the metal back into shape.]

Near the end of the film, Magneto & Mystique are approaching the guarded Cerebro machine. There are around 8 guards, but when Magneto pulls all the pins out of their grenades, and then collects them into a pile, there are around 30 pins. [High chance that the guards carried more than just one grenade each.]
Magneto only escapes his prison by ripping the excess iron out of the guard's blood, which Mystique injected. There was an even better opportunity to escape earlier, when Miss Nagai came in and attacked Cyclops. Miss Nagai has an adamantium skeleton, just like Wolverine, and he could've easily ripped this metal out instead. [Indeed, and had he not been in the process of being gassed into unconsciousness at the time, he might have done that, but the whole gassing thing can really foul up your concentration. Besides, there's no evidence that Miss Oyama (please note the name) went any closer than the antechamber while he was still conscious - from the fact that they perform the scans there, it's fair to say that Magneto can't manipulate any metals in that room.]

When the X-Men are running out of the dam, Ororo and Kurt are holding Professor X up. Kurt is on his left, and Ororo is on his right. In the next shot, they've switched spots. They could have stopped and swapped places, but that would have slowed everyone down considerably, so they probably didn't. [In every shot, Storm is on the Professor's right and Kurt, his left. The camera keeps moving from a back view to a front view, so Storm goes from the right side of the screen to the left but always stays on the Professor's right.]

When Cyclops goes to check if Jean Grey is alright after recovering from Stryker's mind control, we see him walk around and grab Jean before quickly assuring her that he is fine. Trouble is, we only see him walking to find her. Given their serious situation and his love for Jean, he would definitely have being moving much faster (running even). [Given that he's just attacked her, rushing up to her would be the worst thing to do - far better to approach at a more measured pace, despite his concerns, to give her time to see that he's not being hostile, so that she doesn't lash out and fling him across the room again.]

When Xavier is being brainwashed into killing all the humans via Cerebro, there's a fly-through of the Cerebro map and all of the screaming people. Earlier you could see the outlines of the continents because of the people, but in this fly-through, Japan, Great Britain and Ireland are missing, even though they are not uninhabited. [Look at all the people we see when in Cerebro - can we see all their small details, such as their face? No, we can't. Compared to the size of the Earth's continents, Britain, Ireland, and Japan are only small, therefore they're not shown, as Cerebro isn't visually accurate.]
Obviously Jean has new powers is X2 and Cylops mentions Liberty Island to her in the museum scene. Now watching the Liberty Island scene again in X-Men 1 when Wolverine is trying to slice up Magneto's machine, you'll notice two things. 1. There is some sort of firey substance around Wolverine's hand. Possibly Jean helping him and not realising? 2. When the machine has been destroyed, Jean looks shocked/surprised at something. Possibly the display of power, or maybe the radiation having an effect on her? [If the comics are anything to judge by, the radiation is not the cause of her new power. In the comics, Jean is possessed (and revived) by a being known as Phoenix, which has phenomenal telepathic/telekinetic abilities. The fiery signature that occurs in X2 is obviously related to this, and foreshadowing the possible arrival of the entity. The radiation had nothing to do with it (especially as it's mentioned that it doesn't affect mutants).]
At the end of the first X-men movie, a chunk of Rogue's hair goes dead-white from the strain of operating Magneto's machine. In this movie, the chunk of hair is bigger is obviously bleached-out, not exactly white. [At the end of X-Men, Logan waves a hand towards Rogue and she says 'I kinda like it.' I imagine that the white hair probably faded a while after she got back to the mansion, but she continues to dye it because she likes it. Notice also 'We love what you've done with your hair.']
