After seeing the film three times in a row (literally), I was able to detect fourteen continuity errors and/or problems in the film. This is not a bashing, but a means to start a discussion on the things the editors and film makers should have caught, rather than the audience or fans. If you feel that this may be too ridiculous to read, or that I/we have too much time on my/our hands, please switch to another thread
Here are the errors:
1) WOLVERINE VS. SENTINEL - When Colossus fastball's Wolverine towards the Sentinel, we only hear one "snikt" slice in the background, then the Sentinel head falls to the ground.
2) BOBBY'S ICE SKATES - When Bobby ices up his shoes for the pond scene, it clearly shows that he does NOT have real ice skates and that he created blades out of ice. The very moment when he catches Kitty from falling, and grabs her, the skate blades are clearly made of metal, when the metal shimmers from the background light.
3) ROGUE'S HAIR CHANGE - After seeing Bobby and Kitty skating, Rogue stops at the front door and speaks to Logan about taking the cure. At first, on the right side of her head, there are two or three strands of hair that make up a kind of backwards "B", but after she finishes her conversation with Logan, they disappear.
4) WOLVERINE'S BEE - When Wolverine mourns the loss of Xavier at his memorial headstone, there is a small honey bee that flies on his left shoulder and crawls down into the crease of his armpit. When he rises, it's gone.
5) XAVIER'S TOMBSTONE - Xavier's tombstone reads "Father, Teacher, Leader". And although "father" is open to interpretation as a surrogate father, if taken literally, nothing was ever mentioned of him having a son.
6) COLOSSUS' TV - In theory, Peter has the normal strength of a person of his size and build when he is not metalled up. When Bobby goes looking for Rogue at her room and sees Peter in the hallway passing by, Peter is carrying what appears to be a 32" to 36" television with one arm.
7) MYSTIQUE AS A YOUNG GIRL - I can understand that Mystique can change her shape, but to reduce her size to a 11 year old girl is new to me. This takes place when she is captive on the moving caravan prison, when she taunts one of the guards.
8) STORM'S FINAL BATTLE HAIR - When speaking to Logan about "doing the right thing when the time comes", the back of her head shows her hair very choppy and shorter on the left side than the right. However, a second later when it cuts to the team walking to the X-Jet, the back of her hair is evenly feathered in the back.
9) GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE DROP - When Magneto lifts the bridge and transfers it to Alcatraz island, he obviously plops it right down from looks like a distance of 300 feet in the air. And with his mutant following standing right behind him, it should have been either an extremely uncomfortable landing for them, or some of them should have been severely injured or died. And, with the sheer weight and dimensions of the bridge, the laws of physics also should have toppled it on it's side and into the ocean, since there were no base/ground supports.
10) GOLDEN GATE NIGHT SHOT - What seems to be immediately right after Magneto drops the Golden Gate Bridge down on Alcatraz island, it suddenly becomes a night scene just as the final battle takes place.
11) X-JET STEALTH MODE - Just as Storm puts the X-Jet in stealth mode, it makes a semi-circle pass by and we see everything about the jet disappear, including the shape/outline of the jet and exhaust flame. But, when it lands on top of the Worthington lab shortly after, you see a transparent version of it, and the exhaust flames.
12) FIRE & ICE FIGHT - When Iceman and Pyro do their power standoff, we see large chunks of ice falling down in the center of where Iceman's ice blast meets Pyro's flame projections. There is a little steam rising, but theoretically, ice should not be so solidified at that range.
13) PHOENIX AFTERMATH - After the Phoenix threat has been neutralized by Wolverine, the thousands of megatons of water that splashes back down to the ground (from 4 thousand feet above) and onto 1/4th of the Golden Gate Bridge, should have wiped out everyone and everything on it... Including the hundred or so operating headlights on the cars sitting on the bridge that were still fully functional AFTER the water splashed down, even though most of the humans seemingly abandoned their vehicles when Magneto levitated it from it's original location. Whoever turned on all those car headlights remains a mystery.
14) WOLVERINE VS. MARROW-MAN - When Marrow-Man sheaths bones from his forearms, it's one long tendrill starting from his bicep and ending with a point coming out of his wrists. Assuming these are made of bone, how could each one have a sharp tip when he throws them at Wolverine. This takes place when Wolverine infultrates Magneto's forest sanctum to rescue Jean.
Now these aren't gripes by any means. And I like I said, I've verified ALL of this information by seeing the movie three times in a row, back to back. If you don't believe me, you're more than welcome to print this list out and bring it to the theatre with you. I also want to go on record as saying that this is probably the best of the three movies, in terms of action... Although it was rather short...
If you've also noticed anything out of place with this movie, feel free to add to the list.
