X-Men: First Class (2011) - 35 mistakes

Directed by Matthew Vaughn, starring James McAvoy, January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Bacon, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult (add more)

Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Sci-fi, Thriller

This has been explicitly stated by the director as not being a reboot of the franchise (in this interview, and verified by a consistent cameo appearance I won't ruin for anyone who hasn't seen it yet). It's simply a prequel to the other X-men movies, and as such differences in continuity between this movie and those are valid mistakes. Please don't get too worked up over it - this is meant to just be a bit of fun, after all...

Factual error: During the bar scene in Argentina, Magneto uses a dagger he took from one of the former SS Soldiers. It appears to be a Reichsarbeitsdienst dagger with the inscription "Blut und Ehre." This is incorrect as the inscription should read "Arbeit Adelt." "Blut und Ehre" was inscribed on Hitler youth knives as that was their motto.

Continuity: When Erik is about to lift the submarine out of the ocean, most of the hand he is using isn't that clean. However, after lifting the submarine out of the ocean part way and the shot cuts back to Eric, most of his hand is clean.

Continuity: When the young mutants are showing each other what they can do, they all have a glass of cola, all four sitting on a corner of the table. But when Banshee wants to show what he can do, the glasses are instantly lined up.

Continuity: When Xavier freezes Levene in the hallway he has a jet of water against his lips. In the next shot the jet of water is against his nose even though he didn't move.

Continuity: Before Shaw takes the grenade from Hendry, the latter one has his finger in the pin, and has it half pulled out by then. Look closely at Hendry's hand: he is still holding the pin, while Shaw take the rest of the grenade, but in the next shot, Shaw pulls it out again.

Continuity: In the original X-Men movie, Professor X wonders why he can't read Magneto's thoughts, only to learn that Magneto has his special helmet. First Class contradicts this by establishing that Xavier knew about the helmet in 1962.

Continuity: Hank McCoy transforms into his beast form in X-Men First Class. However, in X-Men 2 when Mystique meets the guard in the bar, Hank McCoy, without fur, is speaking on a live talk show on a TV in the background.

Continuity: When Erik is first attempting to lift the submarine, he'd using his left hand. In subsequent scenes, specifically when Riptide turns into heavy wind to break Erik's grasp, he's now using his right hand.

Factual error: Miniskirts weren't in fashion until at least 1965-66, and the high rise hemlines worn by many female characters weren't around until '68 or '69.

⇓

Continuity: In this movie, Emma Frost is seen as an adult woman [roughly around the same age as Professor X and Magneto]. But the character is also in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, set years later when Professor X and Magneto are much older, but in that movie she's younger than she is in this one.

Factual error: When sitting in Xaviers mansion there are cushions on the sofas made from a Sanderson fabric, Dandelion Clocks, this fabric was designed in 2009 but the film is set in 1960.

Other: In the version I watched, the subtitles that cover Sebastian Shaw's conversation with the Russian leader, had typos - the word 'missile' was spelled 'missle' on two, possibly three occasions and the word 'placed' was spelled 'places'.
