The Wolverine

Visible crew/equipment: In the funeral scene where Logan is attacked, he gets shot and knocked down. The camera pans towards Logan and we get a close up of his exposed claws. If you look in his fist you can see Hugh Jackman is holding on to a round gold colored object in plain view. This is the handle Hugh Jackman holds on to for his fake movie prop claws.

George Comer

Visible crew/equipment: When the bear appears as Logan goes to buy batteries, a cameraman with a brown jacket can be spotted at the lower right hand corner, before the shot changes.

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.
