Trivia: Reportedly, both the PG-13 theatrical and unrated cut of the film were screened for test-audiences, but it was ultimately decided that the PG-13 version would be released in theaters. The unrated cut was eventually released on Blu-ray, featuring a bit more violence and more visible bloodshed.

Trivia: Hugh Jackman wouldn't drink any liquid for a day-and-a-half before any of his shirtless scenes in order to take off any water-weight and give his physique an exaggerated "ripped" look. He said that the process was unpleasant and made him light-headed, but he was pleased with the results on-screen.

The Wolverine (2013)

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.
