| Plot: | Across the world, children are born with an extra twist to their chromosomes that allow them to exhibit superhuman abilities: fire a beam of force from their eyes, sprout wings that allow flight, or read men's minds. These 'children of the atom' are often feared and despised by the world, forcing these mutants to resort to desperate actions. However, one group of mutants have banded together to show the world that it need not fear their kind. Apart, they are simply scientific curiosities, freaks and monsters - but together, united by their shared belief, they are more. They are the uncanny X-Men. |

Revealing mistakes: The copper bar wrapped around Storm's neck in the Statue of Liberty is wrinkled, and is obviously a painted piece of foam rubber. The bars also bend far too easily. Continuity: During the long shot of Mystique driving the boat to the Statue of Liberty, you can see the head of someone below the window. That is reportedly the boat captain, who was in a different place in close-ups. Continuity: When Wolverine's car hits the tree, front window gets smashed out of the car. In subsequent shots, the window is only damaged and is back in its place. Revealing mistakes: In the Statue of Liberty, after Toad spits his slime on Jean Grey and he falls, you can see the rope that was holding him up and where it connects on his back. FAIR: SPOILER: When Toad is struck by lightning, the lightning hits the pole first, and then electrocutes Toad. While the pole is grounded, there is enough power in a lightning strike that the field would still affect Toad (though not as visibly as shown). In addition, Storm does, after all, have some control over lightning. Continuity: The star on Magneto's father's coat at the beginning changes sides from the left to the right. FAIR: Differences with the written source material are not goofs, and are mentioned here only due to the volume of submissions. Continuity: The amount of sun hitting Senator Kelly in the helicopter scene with him and Mystique. Continuity: SPOILER: When Wolverine is thrown off the head of Statue of Liberty, he stops himself by hanging on his claws; at that moment, they pierce through the head near Jean Gray and Cyclops who are trapped inside near the top. In one of the next shots we can see Wolverine hanging on his claws much lower in the head - somewhere around the ears and the chin of the Statue. Crew: The camera is visible in Cyclops' glasses when he is in Logan's room and says, "Oh, and Logan: stay away from my girl." Continuity: During the fight atop the Statue of Liberty, Sabretooth throws Wolverine away from the statue's crown. In the next shot, their positions are reversed, with Wolverine's back to the crown. Continuity: When Wolverine swings around the spike on the crown of the statue with his claws, he lands with his right hand held forward, claws unsheathed. In the next shot, his left hand is held forward just before he leaps. Continuity: In one shot, Logan is smoking a cigar and his truck window is up. In the next shot, outside the truck, his window is down. Inside the truck in the next shot, his window is once again up. Continuity: After Magneto has Wolverine magnetically stuck to wall inside the Statue of Liberty's head and says, "Let's point those claws of yours in a safer direction", Magneto makes Wolverine's arms face down across his chest and they're held in place by metal braces. But in the next shot, we see Wolverine's arms are seen folded across his chest facing up instead. Continuity: After the bar fight, Logan drives off; as he stops, the tires leave snow tracks. As he starts up again, and before the snow could have buried them, they disappear. Fact errors: The straps inside the Statue of Liberty that hold the skin of copper to the iron frame were originally iron, then were replaced with stainless steel during the refurbishment. At no time were they green as shown. SYNC: SPOILER: When Magneto tells Prof. Xavier that the plastic prison won't hold him and the war is coming, the shot from behind Magneto's head shows his mouth still moving, even though he has stopped speaking. SYNC: SPOILER: When Mystique as Bobby Drake approaches Rogue to warn her away from the school, Rogue clearly mouths the word "Shawn" ('Shawn Ashmore' (qv)) but her voice says "Bobby". Continuity: Orientation of Magneto's helmet on the desk during the first scenes in the Brotherhood's lair. Continuity: Mystique pushes Senator Kelly back after he yells, and when he lands against the seat we see her right foot wrap around the back of his head. In the next shot, her foot is just starting to move around to his head. Continuity: In early scenes the filmmakers went to some effort to make Cyclops appear taller than Wolverine, but about half way through the film they just stopped, and suddenly Wolverine appears considerably taller than Cyclops (consistent with the difference in height of the actors themselves). Continuity: SPOILER: When Xavier and Magneto are in the plastic prison, the chess pieces on the board change between shots after the guard comes in. Fact errors: Stuntwoman Kathryn Anderson 's name is misspelled in the end credits as "Kathyrn". Continuity: SPOILER: When Magneto concedes that he has been checkmated and knocks the king over, a pawn that was in the previous view of the chessboard is missing but the knight still holds it to checkmate. Revealing mistakes: In the train station, as Sabretooth is coming up behind Storm at the ticket window, he throws the guy behind her out of the way. The line attached to the stuntman is visible in this shot as he is yanked out of the way. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: The chain-link fence door is very "floppy" when Mystique hits Wolverine with it in their final fight. Continuity: During Logan's nightmare scene in Xavier's mansion, when Rogue walks into the room, his sheets are pulled up to his armpits, but as she approaches the bed and the camera angle changes the sheets move to about his waist, too quickly and too neatly to have been thrown there during camera movement. Continuity: When Logan puts his arm around Rogue while they are on the train, he puts his hand on her shoulder. In the next shot his hand is on her head. Continuity: When Jean Gray is checking Logan after the fight you can see a pink bra under her jacket. The camera then switches to Logan and when it returns to Jean Gray the bra is missing and her coat closed up. Continuity: When Rogue and Bobby are sitting on the bench talking, Rogue's hair keeps switching from being behind her shoulder and then in front of her shoulder. Continuity: When Wolverine says to Sabretooth "I'm not finished with you yet", he points with his middle claw, but in the next shot, he's pointing with all three. Continuity: When Cyclops blows open the door in the Statue of Liberty, you can see that he is not wearing gloves. In the next shot, with his hand still on his visor, he is wearing gloves. In the next shot when he sees Jean in peril, his gloves are off again. Continuity: When Wolverine is at the mansion after the initial car accident. We see him removing the sticky electrode pads from his chest which leave circular red marks on his skin. These marks remain on his skin for the rest of the shot, though they should have healed seconds or less like his other injuries in film. Revealing mistakes: When Magneto has Wolverine floating in the air at the train station, and the camera zooms into Magneto bending his claws, you can see two Phillips head screws on the palm side of each claw down by his hand. Revealing mistakes: When Wolverine goes to get Rogue from the train station, Magneto appears and bends Wolverine's claws. You can clearly see screws holding the claws together. Continuity: The sharpness of Logan's claws changes to suit the situation in different scenes. The claws easily slice though the metal wire fence when fighting Mystique but he is able to pull her towards him with the metal chain stuck on his claws without slicing through the chain. (Also, when on the Statue of Liberty his claws slice easily though the spikes on the statue's head but when he is climbing up the side with his claws they only puncture the statue they don't slice though it once they're in, even though all his body weight must be hanging on his claws alone.) FAIR: When Wolverine stabs Rogue, his claws go through the front and out the back. She heals herself using Wolverine's powers, but there is no blood on the front of her night gown and the fabric is still whole (where the claws went through). This is due to the fact that the "rating goal" for the film was set to PG-13, which means they can't show blood flow - and showing a shredded gown without blood would be odd. Miscellaneous: Character Henry Peter Gyrich's last name is incorrectly spelled Guyrich in the end credits. FAIR: Inconsistencies in each mutant's power (especially relating to matters never clearly defined in the comic books) are not goofs. They can do whatever the writers say they can do, even when contradictions seem to occur. CHAR: Professor Xavier can't use Cerebro to locate Magneto because Magneto's helmet blocks his telepathy, but he could easily use Cerebro to find Toad, Mystique, or Sabretooth. CHAR: In the first scenes where the Jews arrive at the concentration camp, the SS guards are wearing steel helmets. However, it was standard practice in the German army (or the SS) to wear helmet only in combat situations. Taking in and sorting the Jews is not a combat situation. The SS guards at the concentration camps usually wore so-called "garrison caps," not steel helmets. CHAR: The sorting of newly-arrived Jews into two groups of those to be exterminated and to be put to forced labor was called "selektion" and usually involved SS doctors such as Dr. Josef Mengele, who made the selection according to a particular Jews's state of health as he perceived it. In the movie it seems there are no such doctors doing the selection. CHAR: In the beginning scene at the concentration camp, the SS guard in the watch tower is manning a MG-42 multipurpose machine gun, an equipment usually issued to front line troops only. For behind-the-line duty such as guarding concentration camps, obsolete weapons or those captured from the occupied countries such as France or Czechoslovakia were usually issued. Revealing mistakes: During the concentration camp scene, when Magneto pulls the barbed-wire gates apart from 20 feet away, the rifles and others guns around him (especially on the guards trying to pull him away from the gate) are not affected. SYNC: When Wolverine is talking to Rogue on the train, she begins to cry and he pulls her head to his chest. In one scene you can see his lips moving (speaking the next line) without sound, until the shot changes and he speaks the line in sync. |

[Cyclops doesn't know if Logan's an imposter] Wolverine: Hey! It's me. Cyclops: Prove it! Wolverine: You're a dick. Cyclops: Okay. Wolverine: Magneto's right: there is a war coming. Are you sure you're on the right side? Storm: At least I've chosen a side. [about his claws] Rogue: When they come out... does it hurt? Wolverine: Every time. Bobby: Welcome to Mutant High. Dr. Jean Grey: Mutants are not the ones mankind should fear. [to Senator Kelly] Magneto: Are you a God-fearing man, Senator? That is such a strange phrase. I've always thought of God as a teacher; a bringer of light, wisdom, and understanding. You see, I think what you really fear is me. Me and my kind. The Brotherhood of Mutants. Oh, it's not so surprising really. Mankind has always feared what it doesn't understand. Well, don't fear God, Senator, and certainly don't fear me. Not any more. Magneto: Welcome to the future. Senator Kelly: I have here a list of names of identified mutants living right here in the United States. Dr. Jean Grey: Senator... Senator Kelly: Here's a girl in Illinois who can walk through walls. Now what's to stop her from walking into a bank vault, or the White House, or [indicating the gallery] into their houses? Dr. Jean Grey: Senator, please... Senator Kelly: ...and there are even rumors, Miss Grey, of mutants so powerful that they can enter our minds and control our thoughts, taking away our God-given free will. Now I think the American people deserve the right to decide if they want their children to be in school with mutants. To be taught by mutants! Ladies and gentlemen, the truth is that mutants are very real, and that they are among us. We must know who they are, and above all, what they can do! Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Ah, Logan. I'd like you to meet Ororo Monroe, also called Storm. This is Scott Summers, also called Cyclops. They saved your life. I believe you already know Dr. Jean Grey. You are in my School for the Gifted for Mutants. You'll be safe here from Magneto. Wolverine: What's a Magneto? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: A very powerful mutant. He believes that a war is brewing between mutants and the rest of humanity. I've been following his activities for some time. The man who attacked you is an associate of his called Sabertooth. Wolverine: Sabertooth? [looks at Storm] Wolverine: Storm. [looks at Xavier] Wolverine: What do they call you? "Wheels"? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Students. [Logan has found his way to the Professor's office] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: I'm Charles Xavier. Would you like some breakfast? Logan: Where am I? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Westchester, New York. My people brought you here for medical attention. Logan: I don't need medical attention. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Yes, of course. Wolverine: Jean... Dr. Jean Grey: Scott, when I tell you, open your eyes. Cyclops: No! Dr. Jean Grey: Trust me. [Wolverine takes out Cyclops' visor] Wolverine: You drop something? [to Storm] Sabretooth: You owe me a scream. Sabretooth: [Sabretooth has Storm pinned to the wall] [growls] Scream for me. [to Sabretooth] Wolverine: Hey, bub, I'm not finished with you yet. Senator Kelly: What the hell have you done to me? Magneto: Senator, this is pointless. Who would take you in now that your one of us? Wolverine: This is mine! [Logan confronts Magneto for the first time] Magneto: You must be Wolverine. That remarkable metal doesn't run through your entire body, does it? Logan: What do you want with me? Magneto: You? My dear boy, who ever said I wanted you? [Logan looks at Marie] Rogue: I saved your life! Logan: No, you didn't. [after getting in the car with Logan/Wolverine] Rogue: You don't have anything to eat, do you? [Logan reaches across her into the glove compartment and hands her something to eat] Rogue: I'm Rogue. [looks across the seat to look at him and spots his dog tag] Were you in the army? Doesn't, doesn't that mean you were in the army? [she stops talking and looks around. She spots the trailer in the back] Wow. Logan: What? Rogue: It's just that, suddenly my life doesn't look that bad. Logan: Well, if you prefer the road... Rogue: [quickly] No, it looks great. It looks cozy. [They go quiet. Rogue begins to rub her cold hand together. Logan turns on the heater] Logan: Put your hands on the heater. [He reaches for her hand and she pulls back] I'm not gonna hurt you kid. Rogue: [shakes her head and puts back on her gloves] It's nothing personal. It's just that, when people touch my skin, something happens. Logan: What? Rogue: I don't know, they just get hurt. Logan: Fair enough. So, what kind of name is Rogue? Rogue: I don't know. What kind of name is Wolverine? Logan: My name is Logan. Rogue: Marie. Logan: [Logan's first line] Beer. Rogue: [tracing the passage along a map] Niagra Falls... up the Canadian Rockies, and then... it's only a few hundred miles to Anchorage. Rogue's Boyfriend: Won't it be kinda cold? Rogue: Well, that's the point, stupid, otherwise it wouldn't be an adventure! Dr. Jean Grey: Ladies and gentlemen, we are now seeing the beginnings of another stage of human evolution. These mutations manifest at puberty, and are often triggered by periods of heightened emotional stress. Senator Kelly: Thank you, Miss Grey! That was-quite educational. However it fails to address the issue which is the focus of this hearing. Three words: are mutants dangerous. Magneto: [pointing to his head] Are you sneaking around in here, Charles? Whatever are you looking for? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: I'm looking for hope. Magneto: I will bring you hope, old friend, and I ask only one thing in return - don't get in my way. [walks away] We are the future, Charles, not them. They no longer matter. Rogue: You know, you should wear your seat belt. Wolverine: Now look, kid, I don't need advice on auto... [car crashes] Dr. Jean Grey: I think you'll be comfortable here. Wolverine: Where's your room? Dr. Jean Grey: With Scott, down the hall. Wolverine: Is that your gift? Putting up with that guy? Dr. Jean Grey: Actually, I'm telekinetic. I can move things with my mind. Wolverine: Really? What kind of things? Dr. Jean Grey: [shuts closet doors behind him with her mind] All kinds of things. I also have some telepathic ability. Wolverine: Like the Professor? Dr. Jean Grey: Nowhere near that powerful. But he's teaching me to develop it. Wolverine: I'm sure he is. So read my mind. Dr. Jean Grey: I'd rather not. Wolverine: C'mon. You afraid you might like it? Dr. Jean Grey: I doubt it. [the X-Men help Senator Kelly, a victim of Magneto's mutant machine] Senator Kelly: I was afraid they'd... Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Treat you like a mutant? [pause] We're not what you think. Not all of us. Senator Kelly: Tell that to the ones who did this to me. Rogue: The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks. I can still feel him inside my head. It's the same with you. Wolverine: There's not many people that'll understand what you're going through. But I think this guy, Xavier, is one of them. He seems to genuinely want to help you. And that's a rare thing, for people like us. Magneto: You homo sapiens and your guns. [commenting on the X-Men uniforms] Wolverine: You actually go outside in these things? Cyclops: Well, what would you prefer? Yellow spandex? Logan: What the hell are you doing? Rogue: I'm sorry. I need a ride, I thought you could help me. I... Logan: Get out! Rogue: Where am I supposed to go? Logan: I don't know. Rogue: You don't know, or you don't care? Logan: Pick one. Storm: Help us! Fight with us! Logan: Fight with you! Join the team? Be an X-Man? Who the hell do you think you are? You're a mutant. The whole world out there is full of people who hate and fear you and you're wasting your time trying to protect them? I've got better things to do! Senator Kelly: You're evading the real question. Three words: Are mutants dangerous? Doctor Jean Grey: That's an unfair question, Senator Kelly. After all, the wrong person behind the wheel of a car can be dangerous. Senator Kelly: Well, we do license people to drive. Doctor Jean Grey: But not to live. Storm: Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning? [pause] The same thing that happens to everything else. [last lines] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: And I will always be there, old friend. [trapped inside the Statue of Liberty] Cyclops: Storm, fry him! Magneto: Oh yes! A bolt of lightning into a huge copper conductor. I thought you lived at a school? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Don't give up on them, Erik. Magneto: What would you have me do, Charles? I've heard these arguments before. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: That was a long time ago. Mankind has evolved since then. Magneto: Yes, into us. Mystique: You know, people like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child. [to Dr. Jean Grey] Wolverine: So, couldn't wait to get my shirt off again, huh? [discussing Wolverine] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: There are more powerful mutants out there. Why should this one be so important? Cyclops: Maybe it's his way with people. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: You don't like him? Cyclops: How could you tell? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Well, I am psychic, you know. Wolverine: Well, it certainly is a big, round room. Wolverine: You going to tell me to stay away from your girl? Cyclops: If I had to do that, she wouldn't be my girl. Wolverine: Well, then I guess you've got nothing to worry about, do ya, Cyclops? Cyclops: It must burn you up that a boy like me saved your life, huh? Gotta be careful. I might not be there next time. Oh, and Logan - stay away from my girl. Wolverine: Felt like she killed me. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: If she held on any longer, she could have. [first lines] Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: [narration] Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward. [In the ring, before the fight with Wolverine] Emcee: Whatever you do, don't hit him in the balls. Stu: You said "anything goes"! Emcee: Anything goes, but he'll take it personal. [At the Statue of Liberty] Magneto: Magnificent, isn't she? Rogue: I've seen it. Magneto: I first saw her in 1949. America was going to be the land of tolerance. Peace. Rogue: Are you going to kill me? Magneto: Yes. Rogue: Why? Magneto: Because there is no land of tolerance. There is no peace. Not here, or anywhere else. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Where are you going? Wolverine: To find her. Storm: How? Wolverine: The traditional way: look! Logan: There's someone here. Cyclops: Where? Logan: I don't know. Keep your eye open. [Preparing Senator Kelly for the mutation machine] Senator Kelly: What are you going to do? Magneto: Let's just say God works too slow. Magneto: Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will pass that foolish law or one just like it and come for you? And your children? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: It does indeed. Magneto: What do you do, when you wake up to that? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: I feel a great swell of pity for the poor fool who comes to that school... looking for trouble. Cyclops: All right, we can insert here at the George Washington Bridge, come around the bank just off of Manhattan, land on the far side of Liberty Island, here. Wolverine: What about harbor patrol? Radar? Cyclops: If they have anything that can pick up our jet, they deserve to catch us. Senator Kelly: [on registering mutants] We must know who they are, and above all, what they can do. Toad: Don't you people ever die? Logan: Everybody get out of here! Storm: Why? Logan: I can't move. Magneto: Ah, my brothers, welcome. [Looks at Logan] And you,let's point those claws of your in the safer direction. [Sabretooth has returned without Rogue] Toad: Weren't you supposed to bring someone back with you? Sabretooth: [growls] Shut up! Logan: Have you ever... Dr. Jean Grey: Used Cerebro? No. It takes a degree of control and for someone like me it's... Cyclops: Dangerous. Stu: You owe me some money. Stu's friend: Come on Stu. Stu: No one takes beating like that without a mark to show for it. Stu's friend: Come on Stu. Wolverine: You lost your money. You keep this up you'll lose something else. Stu: I know what you are. Wolverine: Gotta get her out of there. Cyclops, can you hit it? Cyclops: The ring's moving too fast. Wolverine: Just shoot it! Cyclops: I'll kill her! Storm: You could fly right over the torch. Wolverine: Then let me go. If I don't make it, then at least you can still blast the damn thing! Cyclops: All right, do it. Jean use your power, try to steady him. Storm: Hang on to something. Magneto: Why do none of you understand what I'm trying to do? Those people down there- they control our fate and the fate of every other mutant! Well, soon our fate will be theirs. [Rogue screams for help] Wolverine: You're so full of shit! If you're really so righteous, it'd be you in that thing. Magneto: Why not come out where I can see you, Charles? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: What do you want her for? Magneto: Can't you read my mind? What now? Save the girl? You'll have to kill me, Charles. And what will that accomplish? Let them pass that law and they'll have you in chains with a number burned into your forehead. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: It won't be that way. Magneto: Then kill me and find out. Then release me. Fine! Wolverine: That tickles. Dr. Jean Grey: Hey. Wolverine: Hey. Dr. Jean Grey: How are you feeling. Wolverine: Fantastic. [the bartender is pointing his shotgun at Wolverine] Bartender: Get out of my bar, freak! [Just before the accident] Rogue: You know you should wear your seatbelt. [Cyclops lands the plane abruptly] Cyclops: Sorry. Wolverine: You call that a landing? Cyclops: Wait a second! You said this machine draws its power from Magneto, and that it weakened him. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Yes, in fact it nearly killed him. Wolverine: He's going to transfer his power to Rogue and use her to power the machine. [Magneto shoots Rogue with a tranquilizer dart while she runs away] Magneto: Young people. [to Sabertooth, who has just been thrown through the wall by Storm] Toad: Quit playin' around! Magneto: Toad has a wicked tongue, Senator. Just like you. Rogue: Hey. [Logan turns and looks at her] Rogue: You running again? Logan: No, not really. I've got some things to take care of up north. Rogue: Oh. [They stand in silence for a few moments, then Logan reaches out and plays with her hair, which now has a prominent white streak. She jumps back a little and then smiles] Rogue: I kinda like it. Logan: Yeah. Rogue: I don't want you to go. [Logan looks around at his small pack of stuff and then undoes his dog tags. Then he takes her hand, places them inside, then pushes her fingers over them. She looks up at him] Logan: I'll be back for this. [He turns and walks out the door with her staring after him, smiling] Mystique: [as Bobby] Never use your power against another mutant. Dr. Jean Grey: I saw Senator Kelly. Magneto: So, the senator survived the fall, and the swim to shore. He's become more powerful than I imagined. Dr. Jean Grey: He's dead. Just like all those people out there will be. Storm: It's true. I watched him die. Magneto: Are you sure you saw what you saw? Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Mankind is not evil, just... uninformed. Wolverine: How is she? Dr. Jean Grey: She's fine. [pause] I think she's still taken with you. Wolverine: Well you can tell her... my heart belongs to... someone else. Magneto: What happended? Sabretooth: They knew. Magneto: Charles! [Magneto examins Wolverine's army dog tags that Sabertooth is now wearing] Magneto: Where's the mutant now? Sabretooth: With them. Magneto: I have made the first move. That is all they know. Come, the UN summit is approaching. Time for our little test. Dr. Jean Grey: [after examining Wolverine] The metal is an alloy called adamantium, supposedly indestructible. It's been surgically grafted to his entire skeleton. Storm: How could he have survived a procedure like that? Dr. Jean Grey: His mutation. He has uncharted regenerative capabilities, enabling him to heal rapidly. It also makes his age impossible to determine. He could very well be older than you, Professor. Cyclops: Who did this to him? Dr. Jean Grey: He doesn't know. Nor does he remember anything about his life before it happened. Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Experimentation on mutants.
