“X2″ Goofs List
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Various differences from the comic books. These are, by policy, not considered errors.
- Continuity: When Logan is drinking his Doctor Pepper while talking to Iceman, his grip on the bottleneck alternates between shots.
- Continuity: Wolverine takes the soda from the cabinet and pops the top off. Before taking a drink, he hands it to Bobby (Iceman) to cool it off for him. In the next shot of Iceman, Wolverine’s arm, and the soda bottle, the amount of soda has noticeably decreased. In the third shot, we see Wolverine and the now icy bottle with the soda level returned to the same level as the first shot.
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: When all the X-Men and Xavier are talking with the president, supposedly everyone who is not an X-Man is frozen or time has stood still but in one shot you can clearly see someone blink a couple of times.
- Factual errors: SPOILER: After Jean Gray sacrifices herself, there is a shot of the dam showing the breach and flooded area. While the entire foreground is flooded the water level is only a few feet below the top of the dam.
- Continuity: When the X-men jet is trying to dodge the rockets, there are a few close-ups of Bobby showing that the seat in front of him is empty. In other shots before and after the close-ups of Bobby, it shows that Rogue is sitting in that “empty” seat.
- Continuity: While the X-Men are running away from the lab, Jean’s limp disappears during one shot.
- Continuity: During the “crash landing” of the plane, Rogue’s seatbelt changes position between shots.
- Continuity: During the attack on the school, one of the soldiers opens fire in the kitchen and the Dr Pepper bottle on the counter changes places between shots.
- Revealing mistakes: Nightcrawler is visible in the shadows behind the children before he and Storm arrive at the cell.
- Plot holes: Since Senator Kelly died in the middle of the first movie, his subsequent appearances have been impersonations by Mystique. But any U.S. Senator’s personal and political obligations fill up nearly every waking hour. Given that there is only one Mystique, and that she impersonates several other characters in addition to appearing as herself, “Senator Kelly” frequently disappears for hours or days at a time. In the real world or even the comic book world, her intermittent use of Kelly’s likeness would be quickly uncovered as bogus by his family or staff.
- Continuity: In the scene in the lab where Nightcrawler is going to save the kids in the cage below, you see him in the shadows of the cell in an inside close-up, but in the next shot, he is on top of the bars. Then, when he is about to teleport into the cell, you can see him again in the close-up of the cell shadows, then emerging from the same shadows.
- Plot holes: When Stryker visits Magneto to interrogate him, he enters Magneto’s cell while still wearing his glasses, which have metal legs. The scanning process should have caught that on his way in; if it hadn’t, Magneto should be able to manipulate them and use them to escape. It was shown in the first movie that Magneto can manipulate even non-ferrous metals, so he should have been able to affect Stryker’s glasses.
- Continuity: In the beginning Wolverine’s hair and beard change between shots (possibly scenes or re-shoots filmed while the actor was making Van Helsing (2004) at the time).
- Continuity: On the X Plane before the missiles hit it, Rogue scrambled to get her seat belt buckled. However, after the first plane flip, she’s sitting with a smile on her face, hands in her lap, no worries. Then she’s shown again gasping and holding the belt buckles with both her hands.
- Continuity: In the scene where the X-Men are in the President’s office at the end of the film, they hand him a blue folder. When they have left and time begins moving again, there is a green folder and random papers on his desk. The next time we see his desk there is only a blue folder neatly placed in front of him.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the original X-Men, Wolverine is able to spot Mystique twice by catching her scent. Once when she disguised herself as a small Statue of Liberty, and another time as Storm. Yet, he does not catch Mystique by scent when she masquerades as Jean Grey and tries to seduce him. Clearly his own feelings for Jean and this sudden arousal threw him off and kept him from sensing the impersonation.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the attack on the mansion, the soldiers’ P90s all have silencers attached, yet whenever the guns are fired, there are muzzle flashes and the shots are louder than they should be.
- Continuity: In the X Plane right before the alarm alerts of the missiles, Rogue can be seen with one strap of the seat restraints over her left arm. The next shot with Rogue visible shows no strap and her arms in a different position.
- Continuity: The scene where Nightcrawler and Storm saves the captured children in the dungeon, Nightcrawler can be seen in the dungeon’s darkness in the center of the shot even before he has teleported down to save them.
- Factual errors: Mystique injects the guard a solution with high iron content so Magneto would be able to manipulate the iron in his bloodstream. The iron in this solution would have to be in the ionized state (valence of +2 or +3), but Magneto is shown to have power over metals but only in their unionized form (valence 0), which is the metallic state and not soluble in water. Even the metal detectors would not pick up the high iron content in the bloodstream.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When dealing with the police, Wolverine gets shot in the head. It seems like the bullet penetrates his skull then is pushed out by his healing powers, however, the bullet only hits his Adamantium skull and sticks to his skull. Very similar to crashing a car into a brick wall and the car not bouncing back. Wolverine is knocked out by the force of having his head jerked at speeds of excess to 90 mph. His healing powers then push the bullet off his skull.
- Continuity: In the first film Storm spoke with an African accent, as the character in the comics is herself African. By the time of this film her accent has apparently disappeared and she speaks in Halle Berry’s natural American tones.
- Revealing mistakes: Right before Wolverine leaves the assault team (Magneto, Mystique, Jean Grey and Nightcrawler) in the Spill Control Room, you can see the beard prosthetics adhesive base on his jawline.
- Continuity: In the scene where she goes inside Cerebro with Nightcrawlers help, Storm’s make up changes between the shots.
- Continuity: When Mystique has impersonated Wolverine and entered the spillway doors in one shot shes almost near the doors when she shouts Stryker’s name. In the next shot she’s further away from the doors. In the next shot she’s again by the door.
- Factual errors: When visiting the Smithsonian, the X-men students are told that the Homo neanderthalensis did not go extinct, but crossed with the Homo sapiens. However, this theory (though suiting Xavier’s attitude) is losing more ground in the scientific world with each genetic study of Neanderthalian remains, none of which have shown a proof of a genetic crossing with our ancestors.
- Continuity: In the climax when Jean Grey is trying to raise the airplane, she is saying “I know… the only way”. A shot is taken of Jean’s face outside and the plane is visible in the background but none of the people inside are visible. Yet in the previous shot the X-Men are looking out through the glass.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: At one point in the movie, Rogue, Ice Man and Pyro want to know where their X-Men uniforms are and Wolverine says they’re on order. However, later when confronting the President, Rogue and Ice Man are wearing X-Men suits. However, this is clearly one of Logan’s frequent sarcastic answers towards juniors.
