X-Men 3 corrections

X-Men 3 (2006) - 24 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When the troops start mobilising to attack the Brotherhood, they make a big show of removing 'all metal' from their gear. However, multiple times the soldiers are shown using radio equipment built into their helmets. Even if they replaced everything they could with plastic, electronic impulses still require metallic wire to operate, and since in X2 Magneto made good use of iron injected into someone's bloodstream, a decent collection of wires would definitely have been enough for him to use to kill the troops. [There are semi conductors other than metal. There are silicon conductors and organic conductors that are in use already and more being researched as I type this (Read ACS or Scientific American Journals). Therefore, it is entirely possible that the "wiring" in the radios and helmets was created out of this non-metal, semi-conducting material.]

In X-Men 2, we see a shot of Hank McCoy on a TV screen in a bar, who is not blue and covered with hair. In X3, they act like they've known him for years that way. He even mentions his old uniform not fitting him. [In the comics, Hank undergoes many changes to his mutant powers, looking fairly human initially (but having greatly increased strength and oversized limbs). The blue skin and fur only came after an experiment designed to make him look more normal. It's very plausible that this change occurred between the two films, also that he was initially part of the X-Men but left to further the cause politically.]

In the scene where Magneto's Brotherhood attacks, research lab soldiers use plastic weapons to prevent Magneto controlling them. However, even if the weapons are made of plastic, needles on syrettes are made of metal, so he should be able to feel and control them. [This could have been fixed two ways: 1. They could have used a non-magnetic metal (such as aluminum or stainless steel) to make the syringes; or 2. They could have used a plastic needle (which does exist). Even if they didn't exist in real life; it's safe to assume that they could have developed one in the X-Men universe since it takes place a few years in the future and they have shown technology that is more advanced than what we currently have. Besides; when was the last time you saw a "plastic" firearm, outside of some hijacker's fantasy?]

When they first attack the bridge and everyone is escaping from their cars and jumping off the bridge, none of the cars have their lights on. Yet after darkness suddenly falls (see the other mistake), all the lights on the cars on the bridge are all on, despite no-one being left in their cars to have turned them on. [When we first see the bridge before the attack, almost all the cars have their lights on.]
