Trivia: In the scene just after Pyro has attacked the cops at Iceman's house and Jean & Storm have come to save them (Woverine, Pyro, Rouge and Iceman) if you look at the cop car on the left side of the screen, after Iceman looks back to see his family, the word 'police' is blackened exept for the letters 'ice'
Trivia: In the scene where Jean and Ororo track Nightcrawler down, he speaks a few sentences in German, but no translation is provided. The sentences mean: "Get out. I am the messenger of Satan (the Germans usually call Satan "the Devil", just as Nightcrawler does). I am a spawn of evil."
Trivia: The girl in the mansion who lets out a super-sonic scream when the Marines attack her is Siryn, daughter of Banshee. (00:33:50)
Trivia: Bryan Singer is the guard who initially rolls Xavier into the guard room in the glass wheelchair before passing him off to the other guards. (00:29:10)
Trivia: In the scene where Mystique is going through the files on Lady Deathstrike's computer to find the guard's profiles, one of the guards is director Bryan Singer (he's listed as "Singer, B"). (00:23:45)
Trivia: In the museum scene, Siryn (the screaming red-haired girl) is wearing a yellow t-shirt with an orange and black striped letter "x", which resembles the "wings"/cape on her comic costume.
Trivia: When Mystique is morphing into Yuriko and back the sound she makes is exactly the same sound the T-1000 makes when morphing in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Trivia: While at the museum in the beginning, you can see the animated short film "The Edifice" playing in the back over Jean Grey's shoulder as she talks with Cyclops. The film shows the progress of human evolution as a tower being built from the ground up.
Trivia: In the French version of the movie, Night crawler's nickname is "Diablo" (little devil).
Trivia: Among the many easter eggs in the movie referencing other mutants, Singer placed an homage to popular X-man Archangel, who had been scrapped in early drafts of both X-Men and X-Men 2. Notice in the fight scene between Lady Deathstrike and Wolverine...up on the wall there are schematics and prototype sketches of Archangel's metal wings.
Trivia: When the soldiers first enter the mansion, and the little kid who doesn't sleep goes to investigate - listen to the commentary on the nature documentary he's watching - it fits with events quite nicely for a while, along the lines of "With the mother away, the children are left defenseless..." It goes a bit awry once it starts with "the centipede is deadly", but you get the idea. (00:32:25)
Trivia: Something about Bond movies. Both Famke Janssen and Alan Cumming were bad guys in Goldeneye, while Halle Berry was a Bond girl in Die Another Day.
Answer: Stryker was trying to get permission from the President to raid the school on the grounds that it is a mutant training facility. Mystique interjects and claims it is a docile boarding school in an attempt to dissuade the President from granting Stryker's request, as she doesn't want the students at the school to be harmed.
