Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Blob is looking out the hotel window, the window panes have been opened at a 90° angle. When the shot changes, the opened panes are no longer visible. When the shot changes again, the windows are slid open, which would make it impossible for the panes to have been positioned at a 90° angle in the first place. (00:09:07)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Mystique first enters the room where she plans to murder Senator Kelly, there are two bookshelves on the left, with the one closest to the camera being shorter than the one next to it. When Gambit and Mystique are getting ready to square off, the bookshelves are in the background, and they have swapped places. (00:15:52 - 00:16:15)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Factual error: The U.S. flag has 13 stripes. When Bishop is telling the X-Men how Gambit's betrayal will affect the future, the flag shown flying outside the Capitol building is missing two stripes. In the next shot showing the flag draped over the coffin, it has at least 17 stripes. (00:04:25)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Xavier's watch magnetically clings to his hoverchair, the body of the watch is pointing at 1 o'clock. In the next shot, it is pointing at 12 o'clock, the minute hand has advanced roughly 4 minutes, and the watch has also moved down the chair and to the right a few inches (note the contour lines on the chair as the visual cue).

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is asking Bishop if he knows him from somewhere, his pupils have been drawn as small black circles inside a blue circle that are the same color as his eyes. Within the same shot, his small pupils suddenly become larger by filling in the rest of the blue circle, and then just as quickly go back to being small. (00:04:27)

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Phaneron

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
