Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Sentinel is resting against the building while lying in wait for Jubilee, the building itself has a solid exterior with the occasional window. When the shot changes, it is now a glass building. Additionally, when the Sentinel was resting against the building, its entire body was obscured, but when the shot changes, part of the right side of its body was sticking out. (00:14:35)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is blasted through the sign advertising the car that can be won, there is a noticeable amount of spacing between the exclamation point and the end of the sign. When the Sentinel begins approaching Gambit, the exclamation point now goes nearly to the edge of the sign. (00:07:11)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: When the Sentinel is first walking through the mall, its footsteps are so heavy that it shakes the building. When it is shown walking past the shop Gambit is in, there is no shaking of the building, presumably done so Gambit wouldn't notice it. (00:04:08)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is first seen eavesdropping on her foster parents, you can see the shelves of their entertainment unit are empty. Moments later when her foster mother is questioning if Jubilee is really a mutant, her husband shows her what Jubilee did to the VCR just by touching it, and you can see the bottom two shelves now have items on them. Additionally, the coffee table goes from having a blue top with a brown border within it, to being a solid brown top altogether. (00:01:39 - 00:02:17)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jubilee's bedroom is first shown, the door is on the left side of the wall, she has a poster next to the door of what appears to be a chicken in a boxing outfit with gloves, a bookshelf next to that poster, a nightstand next to her bed and a poster of a girl playing drums on the wall behind the nightstand. After the Sentinel crashes through the window and pulls her bed out of the house, the nightstand and drummer poster have disappeared. When her foster mother comes into the room to see if everything is OK, the door is suddenly in the center of the wall, and the room itself, save for one poster on the wall that the head of the bed was on, is now completely empty. (00:01:54 - 00:02:51)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the tank is falling through the hole in the bridge, the tank's gun barrels are pointed towards the water. When the shot changes to the tank landing in the water, the gun barrels are pointed towards the sky. (00:09:40)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Other mistake: When the tank falls through the hole in the bridge, the tank's occupants are impossibly shown to be clinging to the edge of the hole at the same time the tank is going over the edge, as if the tank and the occupants were occupying the same space. (00:09:40)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Storm is teasing Gambit for damaging the pool table, she is holding a television remote in her left hand, which is yellow (Storm doesn't wear gloves). A couple of shots later, she is holding the remote in her right hand (she had time to transfer the remote to her other hand, so no mistake there), which is colored correctly. (00:07:35)

Trivia: Following Disney's acquisition of Fox, the creators of this show pitched a revival to stream on Disney+. Producer Larry Houston has said he would come out of retirement specifically to work on this. The revival - titled X-Men '97 - was announced on Disney+ Day in November of 2021 for a 2024 premiere date, with much of the surviving original cast returning.

More trivia for X-Men

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.

Phaneron

Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.
