Trivia: Hugh Jackman wouldn't drink any liquid for a day-and-a-half before any of his shirtless scenes in order to take off any water-weight and give his physique an exaggerated "ripped" look. He said that the process was unpleasant and made him light-headed, but he was pleased with the results on-screen.

Trivia: The original ending featured Wolverine being given his classic comic costume by Yukio, but it was cut from the film.

Continuity mistake: In the fight with the silver samurai, after Wolverine loses his claws from one hand, he takes a sword. Twice he goes to the ground, and in that shot there is no sword in his hand, then it appears again.

More quotes from The Wolverine

Question: Was Logan's healing factor completely removed by Viper or just slowed down a lot? In the funeral fight scenes and on the train he was shot and stabbed multiple times, yet he was only slowed down. It seems if the healing factor was at 0% he would have bled to death right after. (Especially after a shotgun blast to the abdomen at point blank range) And is the healing factor back at 100% now even after the grandfather sucked a bunch of it out?

Answer: The healing factor was only reduced. Like you said, had it been removed he would have bled to death and every time he used his claws he would be bleeding from his hands. It is not revealed if it is at full strength at the end of the film, but it is likely it will return to full strength over time.
