Take A Stand Deleted Scenes (10m)
Xavier Voice-Over For Main Titles
Continuing the tradition of the first two films, a chunk of exposition. Dropped because it was deemed superfluous.
Alternate Version: Beast Meets Logan
A slightly more antagonistic first encounter between Wolverine and Beast.
Extended Fight Sequence at Jean Grey's House
A much more brutal version of the scene where Wolverine and Storm try to get into Jean's house. This includes more Wolverine and Juggernaut mano e mano, and a nice bit of business where Logan becomes a conduit to channel Storm's electrical energy into Juggernaut. Cut because it was "too long".
Alternate Version: Bobby and Kitty Skate
A "controversial" version of the skating scene, only this time they kiss, adding more of an incentive for Rogue's actions later in the film.
Plastic Weapons Manufacturing
Did you wonder where all those groovy plastic guns came from? Wonder no more!
Hank Warns Trask of Magneto's Plan
As the military prepare to enter Magneto's forest hideout, Hank calls to warn them that Magneto may be preparing an attack elsewhere.
Original Version: X-Men Board The Jet
A different version of the rallying scene between Wolverine and Iceman, shifting the emphasis to Iceman. Some of this version appeared in one of the trailers.
Jean Senses a Scared Little Girl
...an extension to the scene where a family, trapped in their car on the bridge, encounter Magneto. It also helped take the scene from daylight to dusk - it was cinematographer Dante Spinotti's favourite scene of the film.
Storm Creates a Wave
An addition to the attack on Alcatraz - Storm creates a deluge, to fend off a wave of attacking Brotherhood members.
Beast Breaks a Neck
Cut to ensure a PG-13 rating.
Bobby Freezes Phat
Remember the fat mutant at the church meeting, who shrank down in size so he could sit down? Well, here he returns, during the Alcatraz attack, where he is brought down by Iceman and Colossus. This scene was cut because it wasn't well-executed.
Alternate Ending: New School Year Begins
Shows Hank returning to teach at Xavier's school, instead of taking on the Ambassador's job.
Alternate Ending: Logan Returns to Alberto, Canada
An apparently-disillusioned Wolverines return to the inn seen in the original X-Men.
Join The Brotherhood Deleted Scenes ( 9m)
Jimmy in Laboratory
Shots of Leech being scanned, and various scientific bits of equipment being used to create the cure.
Pyro Tells Magneto About The Cure Announcement - Clean Shaven Version
Short "They just announced it!" scene between Pyro and Magneto.
Pyro Tells Magneto About The Cure Announcement - Bearded Version
A different version of the same scene, only with a bearded Gandalf - err - Magneto.
Alternate Version: Guard Yells at The President
A more expressive version of the scene where the imprisoned Mystique impersonates the President: "Mr President, shut the **** up!"
"Psychic Battle" Voices
A version of the scene where Jean attacks the Professor, with just their various overdubbed lines of dialogue, (which are otherwise almost lost in the mix - "I am Phoenix!")
Original Version: Jean Displays Her Power at the Encampment
An longer version to the scene where Magneto emerges from his hideout, and tempts Jean into exercising her power on the cure gun. In this version Jean's powers flow freely, endangering the gathered mutants. It also reveals a continuity problem, discussed on the commentary track, where Magneto isn't carrying the gun when he emerges from his hideout - he has a metal cup, instead.
Plastic Weapons Manufacturing
The same as the version on the X-Men Deleted Scenes package, I think.
Magneto Asks Jean To Help In The Battle
A nice addition to the Alcatraz attack: Magneto sees that some of his pawns are being cut down by cure weapons, and demands that Jean step in to help. "You sound like him again", she observes.
Alternate Version: Here's Juggy
A version of the scene where Juggernaut enters Leech's cell, with dialogue paying tribute to The Shining.
Magneto Tortures Logan
Slightly extended version of the "You never learn" torture scene.
Extended Dark Phoenix Destruction
A apocalyptic version of Jean attacking the Laboratories.
Alternate Ending: Rogue Returns
A gloved version of the scene where Bobby greets Rogue on her return to the school...
All the Deleted Scenes have optional commentary by Ratner, Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn, and, thankfully, this time there is a Play All option.
Easter Eggs
There are at least two Easter Eggs on disc one.
The last page of both versions of the Deleted Scenes listings offers a link to an Easter Egg (look for the Brotherhood or X-Men logo): a visual effects clips created to promote the film, in mid-2005, when the final act was to have taken place in Washington: X-Jet Lands in DC (1m)
Another Easter Egg can be found in the either version of the Scenes 10-12 menu screen, where an X-Men or Brotherhood logo links to a deleted scene called Beast Recites Shakespeare... "We few, we happy few... we band of brothers..." (1m).
it was on the movie channel. during DVD preview, they showed the jean senses a scred girl. Really good scene. After that, ratner stopped by n talked
