Other mistake: Father Joe says "You brought me to the wrong house", which seems to be a proof of his psychic abilities. However, one does not need to be a psychic to notice the neighboring house all covered with yellow tape reading "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS." (00:22:20)
The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Chris Carter
Starring: Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly, David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Mitch Pileggi
Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Skinner rescue Mulder (David Duchovny) at the "clinic" where some Russians are performing a head transplant on one of their colleagues using the body of the second woman who was kidnapped. Father Joe dies of lung cancer and Mulder, always the believer in the unexplainable, believes that he really did have visions because the news article mentioning the illegal body transplants omits any mention of Joe's visions and mentions him as an accomplice. Mulder tells Scully to not give up (what Father Joe told her earlier in the film) and they stay together deciding to not just walk away from darkness (the unexplainable) but to fight it. Scully decides to operate on her patient with the rare disease...

Question: Just need to check on this. I just saw the new X-Files movie last week and believe that I saw a funny mistake in the movie. At a certaian part in the movie Mulder goes to call Scully on his cell phone and when he gets to her name it in fact says Gillian not Scully. Anyone else see this?

Answer: Sadly, it's not true - already been submitted and corrected. When we see the screen, it reads "Scully" correctly. All the other names on the screen are surnames of crew members who worked on the TV show, including, immediately underneath Scully's name, Gilligan, for Vince Gilligan, a writer on the show. Understandably, given the brevity of the shot, this is easily misreadable as Gillian.
