X-Men 2

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine returns home to the Xavier mansion, Rogue greets him, they talk, and when Jean arrives Rogue leaves them alone. In one shot Rogue's hair is over her left shoulder running down her chest, but in the following shot all of her hair is at the back. (00:16:15)

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine can't sleep, he hands Bobby the soda bottle and the contents are almost full, but when Bobby blows on the bottle and hands the chilled bottle back to Wolverine the contents are much lower. Then when Wolverine drinks the Dr Pepper, the bottle is full again. (00:31:00)

Continuity mistake: When we see Logan in Cerebro with Professor Xavier trying to find Nightcrawler, Xavier's metal hat in one shot is completely covering his ears, yet in several shots after it's not covering his ears and the hat is a lot looser. (00:19:30 - 00:20:30)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is in the schools kitchen with Iceman, you see Iceman point to a cupboard. If you watch closely between shots Iceman's finger changes from being a little limp and pointing down, to being straight and pointing up. (00:29:35)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: During the mansion invasion scene, Wolverine jumps from the balcony level. He drops onto one knee, and stabs two soldiers with his claws. He then stands up and throws them off. In the shot from behind once he's thrown them he's still part crouching, but in the very next shot from the front, he's fully upright. (00:40:10)

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is tramping through the snow to Alkali Lake, you get a long shot of him looking at a wolf with the sides of his hair are styled so they're sticking up at least three inches. After he goes through the gate, his hair is totally flat. (00:06:10 - 00:06:55)

Continuity mistake: Near the start Logan is inside Cerebro with Xavier and Xavier turns to talk to him. The chair he's sitting in doesn't go any higher than the top of his back, yet a few shots later, the chair is now above his neck. (00:20:45 - 00:21:15)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film in the museum scene when we first see Pyro and Iceman, there is a man with a green sweater that is sitting behind Iceman. In the next shot he's sitting beside him, then is behind him in the next shot. You can also that in one shot he is looking in Pyro's direction but in the next shot, he isn't. (00:09:05)

The-Immortal

X-Men 2 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where we see the X-Men and Magneto inside the jet at Alkali Lake, they are going over a map of the base, the camera cuts to Nightcrawler and Pyro, in this shot we see Pyro with his hands behind the head rest not visible, yet in the following shot his hands are now visible above his head, then the shot after back to being behind the head rest. (01:15:20)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When Mystique (as Dr. Jean Grey) tries making out with Wolverine, we see that the scars that Wolverine made in the first film are vertically across her stomach. But in X-Men, when Wolverine stabs Mystique with his claws, the marks (which later become scars) are horizontally across her stomach. (01:15:15)

Continuity mistake: This is on the DVD. When Storm and Nightcrawler rescue the children Storm shouts "Jubilee" but the subtitles have her name as being "Julie". (01:27:50)

Continuity mistake: When Magneto is reversing Cerebro, he is floating and turning clockwise. Just as he passes the door there is a cut and suddenly he is back facing Professor X as he comes back down. (01:40:00)

Continuity mistake: When the SWAT team raid Xavier's mansion, a SWAT member walks into the kitchen where Bobby is but Wolverine grabs him which causes him to fire. The napkins on the table get shot at, then fall onto Bobby who is kneeling down behind the kitchen table, but in the following shot they are falling down again. (00:35:10)

The-Immortal

Visible crew/equipment: When Magneto and Xavier are speaking inside the plastic prison , look to the right of Xavier's head when Magneto says something about "failure with Stryker's son". There is a partial view of a piece of some kind of equipment moving around lightly reflected in the glass. It's definitely not one of the actors by it's shape.

Revealing mistake: In the first shot showing the pins in the guards' grenades being manipulated by Magneto, a thin black cord can be seen pulling them upwards.

Continuity mistake: When Cyclops encounters Lady Deathstrike at Magneto's prison and knocks her down with his optic blast, watch her eyes as she's getting up from the ground. Instead of the greyish white they should be while under the control of the serum, they're a rather nice looking shade of blue. When it shows her standing, they are white/grey again. (00:34:45)

Visible crew/equipment: When Nightcrawler and Storm teleport into Cerebro 2, a crew member with a white hat is visible beneath the bridge to the bottom right.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where the cat licks Wolverine's claw, if you look closely you can see a shiny drop of clear liquid at the end of the claw, probably something to make the cat want to taste it. (01:40:00)

Factual error: In the scene where Wolverine is shot in the head the bullet stays in place until it falls off. Wolverine's skull is indestructible Adamantium (that doesn't even bend slightly from the impact), and an object that applies a certain amount of energy towards another object has the same energy applied to it in return. Considering the bullet's high speed (which means high energy) and the fact that there is not enough material around Wolverine's skull to absorb the bullet's energy, the bullet should have bounced right out.

President McKenna: What's that?
William Stryker: A jet.
President McKenna: What kind of jet?
William Stryker: We don't know...but it comes out of the basketball court.

More trivia for X-Men 2

Question: When Jean 'hears everything' at the museum, she hears a man yell "to the shelter" this suggests that she can hear all the way to Washington D.C. with her incoming increase of powers. My question is can the Phoenix hear the future? If you watch with the subtitles, you see as she's looking around, it says WOMAN- THEY'RE GONNA KILL HIM the voice is of Rogue in the scene where she bobby and john are in the tunnels after Logan closes the passage way.

Answer: The Phoenix Force is a primal force of the universe and Jean is tapping into it. As such, she's heading for a point where she really doesn't have any limitations - in the comics, Phoenix destroyed an entire star system. A degree of precognition doesn't seem remotely out of the question.
