X-Men 2

Trivia: In the Museum scene, the Chinese girl with the yellow pouch is Jubilee. She can also be seen in the scene where Storm and Nightcrawler save the children, when Storm gets to where the children are trapped, she says "Jubilee!"

Trivia: In the scene just after Pyro has attacked the cops at Iceman's house and Jean & Storm have come to save them (Woverine, Pyro, Rouge and Iceman) if you look at the cop car on the left side of the screen, after Iceman looks back to see his family, the word 'police' is blackened exept for the letters 'ice'

Trivia: There is a sign outside of Magneto's prison, in the metal detector room, which describes the prisoner and the secure environment. At the end of the sign it reads "Do not taunt inmate. Do not feed sweets."

Trivia: In the scene where Jean and Ororo track Nightcrawler down, he speaks a few sentences in German, but no translation is provided. The sentences mean: "Get out. I am the messenger of Satan (the Germans usually call Satan "the Devil", just as Nightcrawler does). I am a spawn of evil."

Trivia: The girl in the mansion who lets out a super-sonic scream when the Marines attack her is Siryn, daughter of Banshee. (00:33:50)

Trivia: When Jean and Storm are in the church, and Nightcrawler is lying down, watch very closely for the back of Jean's leather coat. We catch a brief glimpse of it - a bird that looks remarkably like a Phoenix.

Trivia: In the scene where Mystique is going through the files on Lady Deathstrike's computer to find the guard's profiles, one of the guards is director Bryan Singer (he's listed as "Singer, B"). (00:23:45)

Trivia: In the museum scene, Siryn (the screaming red-haired girl) is wearing a yellow t-shirt with an orange and black striped letter "x", which resembles the "wings"/cape on her comic costume.

Trivia: When Mystique is morphing into Yuriko and back the sound she makes is exactly the same sound the T-1000 makes when morphing in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Trivia: Not a mistake, as it's a comic/movie difference, but interesting to note. In the comics, Mystique is Nightcrawler's mother, as-well as Rogue's.

Trivia: While at the museum in the beginning, you can see the animated short film "The Edifice" playing in the back over Jean Grey's shoulder as she talks with Cyclops. The film shows the progress of human evolution as a tower being built from the ground up.

Trivia: In the French version of the movie, Night crawler's nickname is "Diablo" (little devil).

Trivia: What is it with Rogue and seat belts? First she can't get out of Logan's truck in X-Men, and in this new film she can't get either restraint buckled and is sucked out of the Blackbird... (01:04:10)

Trivia: Among the many easter eggs in the movie referencing other mutants, Singer placed an homage to popular X-man Archangel, who had been scrapped in early drafts of both X-Men and X-Men 2. Notice in the fight scene between Lady Deathstrike and Wolverine...up on the wall there are schematics and prototype sketches of Archangel's metal wings.

Trivia: When the soldiers first enter the mansion, and the little kid who doesn't sleep goes to investigate - listen to the commentary on the nature documentary he's watching - it fits with events quite nicely for a while, along the lines of "With the mother away, the children are left defenseless..." It goes a bit awry once it starts with "the centipede is deadly", but you get the idea. (00:32:25)

Trivia: After filming wrapped on X-Men, Professor X's wheelchair was auctioned off. When this film started production, the crew realised it would be cheaper to rent the original back from the new owner rather than build a new one.

X-Men 2 mistake picture

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Storm and Nightcrawler rush to rescue the children from the holding cell, you see a shot of the cell where the children stand up and say "Listen..." before Nightcrawler teleports inside. If you look carefully, you will see Nightcrawler's silhouette in the shadow against the wall. (01:27:50)

More quotes from 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.
