Mistakes
In the scene in the laboratory under the mansion, when Wolverine confronts Jean about Cyclops, there is a close up shot of Wolverine's hand holding Cyclops' glasses. In this shot there is a small cut visible on Wolverine's hand - his healing power should not allow this. See more...

Longtime X-Men writer Chris Claremont is shown (guy with a lawnmower) in the Grey's neighborhood at the beginning of the film.
All the flashing images in the Marvel logo at the beginning (you need to freeze-frame to see them properly) are from the X-men comics and have at least some relevance to this movie's plot.
This is the first time where all the original Uncanny X-Men are featured in one film - Prof X, Cyclops, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Beast, Iceman and Angel.
It is revealed in the commentary that the man in the vegetative state that Moira McTaggert takes care of is actually meant to be the twin brother of Charles Xavier, Patrick. In the comics, Xavier has a twin sister, but this change was made to make things more interesting.
Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance in the beginning of the movie when Jean is being recruited and showing off her powers. He is the man holding a hosepipe.
Juggernaut says "Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch." That was taken from the Juggernaut fan made episode found on the net. Try searching google for it.
After the credits roll out, there's an extra scene about Professor Charles Xavier.
Like the Sentinels, Angel (Warren Worthington III) was supposed to appear in the second movie in his cybernetic incarnation as the Apocalyptic Archangel, but the idea was scrapped.
The combat simulation the X-Men are running on their first appearance in the film features the dread Sentinel robots. Originally, these were meant to appear in the second movie already, but the idea was scrapped. The simulation also bears a close reference to the parallel comic storyline Days of Future Past, where the Sentinels rebelled against humanity, killed most of Earth's superheroes and erected a totalitarian regime in the US.
The final scene of the school building with Wolverine standing on the balcony was shot in winter-all the foliage on the building and even the leaves on the trees when the camera zooms out were digitally created and added.
Not exactly a mistake since his name is never spoken, but according to the writers, the porcupine-like character was incorrectly named "Kid Omega" in the credits, "Quill" is the corresponding comic book character.
