The Wolverine

Revealing mistake: In the funeral scene where Dr. Viper Lady is videoing Logan fighting, she starts lowering the smartphone, but the "faked" image on the screen doesn't change to match her arm dropping down.

Revealing mistake: When Logan slices his abdomen open to pull out the parasite around his heart, watch the (digital) wound at the bottom of the screen right before he says the line "You're not gonna wanna watch this part!" Not only does a small line of blood on the left of the wound simply "blink" into existence instantly at the bottom of the screen right after he pulls the claw out (slip up in rendering), but the wound itself doesn't quite 100% match up with Logan's movements - when he breathes in, the wound doesn't really move properly with his abdomen as it inflates.

Factual error: In the Shinkansen fighting scene, the railway line is seen having color light signals along its way. But the Shinkansen uses a signalling system that doesn't involve the use of light signals at all.

Trivia: SPOILER! There is a mid credits scene that shows Logan going through airport security 2 years after the end of the movie, where he encounters Professor X and Magneto, who recruit him for a new mission that will be in the film X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Question: Approximately what year is the film set? The adamantium would place it after the Origins film (which I believe to be set circa 1979) in which he loses most if not all of his memories. This begs the question, how is it that he remembers WWII and the atomic bomb?

Answer: The chronology of the X-Men film series is, to put it mildly, somewhat screwed up. The first movie was released in 2000 and is described in an on-screen caption as being set in "The not too distant future", which isn't the most helpful statement, could be two years, could be ten years, who knows. The Wolverine is set about two years after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, which is in turn about a year after the events of the first movie, so think about "the not too distant future", whatever that means, and add about three years onto that. This does mean that, yes, it is indeed set some decades after the events of the Origins movie, during which he lost his memories. It is, however, also set after a period during which he worked with Professor Xavier to regain some of his memories. It could therefore be suggested that Logan remembering his experience at Nagasaki represents that they had at least a partial success in recovering some of his memories.
