Factual error: Take a look at Google Earth - the section of the Golden Gate Bridge Magneto breaks off (about a mile - tower to tower plus a section each end) isn't anywhere near long enough to reach Alcatraz from anywhere on the mainland.
X-Men 3 (2006)
Plot summary
Directed by: Brett Ratner
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, James Marsden, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, Kelsey Grammer, Anna Paquin
After a more mutant-friendly president is elected, things look like they're getting easier for the mutants. The one exception being Scott Summers AKA Cyclops, who is still falling apartb because of the recent passing of his girlfriend, Jean Grey.
Trouble is, however brewing, as it is revealed that a large pharmacy-company has developed what they claim is a complete and full cure for mutants, removing the mutation and all side effects thereof. This provokes Magneto and his brotherhood of mutants, and a three-side war seems unavoidable.

Eric Lensherr: Charles Xavier did more for mutants than you will ever know. My single greatest regret is that he had to die for our dream to live.
Trivia: The combat simulation the X-Men are running on their first appearance in the film features the dread Sentinel robots. Originally, these were meant to appear in the second movie already, but the idea was scrapped. The simulation also bears a close reference to the parallel comic storyline and later movie X-Men: Days of Future Past, where the Sentinels rebelled against humanity, killed most of Earth's superheroes and erected a totalitarian regime in the US.
Question: I have three questions regarding the end scene. 1. How come Jean can't crush Wolverine's body? I ask this because we can see her easily kill all people who walk too close to her. 2. Why didn't Wolverine inject Jean with the cure instead of killing her? 3. What would happen if Jean got injected with the cure?

Chosen answer: 1) Apparently the combination of Logan's unbreakable skeleton and healing factor was enough to keep Jean from shredding him - it's possible to see his body getting damaged and repairing itself in a few shots. 2) Because, while he's capable of getting close to her mostly intact, the same isn't really true of anything he might be wearing or holding, so any cure syringe he carried with him would be destroyed. 3) Who knows? Given her extreme power level, the cure might or might not have worked, and, considering the final shot of the movie, which suggests that the cure isn't permanent anyway, her powers would likely return before long.
