X-Men mistake picture

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When the Nasty Boys are walking Morph towards the wall to chain him up, the wall ends and leads outside on the left, and Xavier and Magneto are chained up only a few feet away on the right. A few shots later, the wall now appears to go on continuously, and Magneto and Xavier are considerably further away from Morph. (00:17:35)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

X-Men (1992)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Magneto is asking how the Savage Land mutates were able to infiltrate his citadel, Amphibious tells him it's because Mr. Sinister long ago found his secret passage. The room they are in leads to a balcony, and has no door sealing off the balcony. In a world of superpowered beings, some of whom can fly, it wouldn't take much effort to get into a building that isn't closed off. Finding a secret passage from the ground level would be unnecessary. (00:15:00)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Morph, Jean, and Cyclops are all knocked unconscious by Ruckus' scream, Morph falls to his right, and Jean and Cyclops fall forward. A couple of shots later when their bodies are shown on the ground, Morph is suddenly between Jean and Cyclops, despite falling the opposite direction of them. (00:11:30)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When the lone sky-rider is flying towards Magneto, Magneto is grasping the cliff with his right arm. When the shot changes, Magneto is suddenly swinging from a tree branch growing out of the cliff in order to kick the rider off his pterodactyl. (00:03:22)

X-Men (1992)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Character mistake: When wondering how close they are to the top of the cliff, Xavier asks Magneto "How much further?" The word "further" is used for non-measurable or figurative advancement. He should have asked how much farther, as that refers to actual distance between objects. An educated man like Xavier would certainly know the difference between the two. (00:02:44)

Suggested correction: While "farther" is used for physical distance, further can be too, especially in British English. Farther also tends to be used for a measured physical distance, so if the actual distance isn't known, further can be used. What Charles said is grammatically correct.

Mojovision - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is climbing the building, his upper body is shown as being higher than the top story windows. When he calls out to Jean after she gets attacked by the Punisher robot, he is now three floors down. (00:16:03)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When Mojo's studio audience is cheering after he says "I give it two flippers up," you can tell by each character's celebratory movements that it is just a reverse of the shot where the audience was first shown earlier in the episode. (00:07:50 - 00:15:23)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After Rogue and Beast have been shuffled out of the cube and into their television program, Jean is shown sitting down and leaning back on her elbows, while Wolverine is on his knees. When the shot changes, both are now standing upright. (00:13:08)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: The cube that Mojo has the X-Men captive inside is transparent on all sides, except for when Cyclops is saying "The X-Men don't fight without a reason." In this shot and the following one, the wall behind them, as well as the ceiling, are now paneled. (00:09:36)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Trivia: When the camera is panning across Mojo's studio audience after he has abducted the X-Men, you can see an older man in the middle of the crowd. This man is a caricature of Marvel Comics legend Jack Kirby. Coincidentally, Kirby died the day after this episode originally aired. (00:07:52)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Other mistake: When Jean is trying to dodge Spiral's teleporting blast, she ends up tripping on a power cord running across the floor. An electronics store wouldn't have a power cord running across its floor for this very reason. They would be begging for a lawsuit if they did. Her foot is also closer to the wall in the first shot than in the second shot. (00:07:30)

Beauty and the Beast - S2-E10

Character mistake: When Carly expresses her relief to Beast that he is fine after he was attacked by the anti-mutant group, he incredulously asks her how she knew he was a mutant. Aside from the fact that the Friends of Humanity were openly calling him a mutant in her presence when they accosted him, Carly was shown touching Beast's hand earlier in the episode. Despite being blind, she would also know that Beast's fur-covered hands would be quite different from the hands of regular people she might have touched. Given these facts, Beast should not have been surprised that Carly knew he was a mutant. (00:03:25 - 00:08:40)
