Night of the Sentinels: Part 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Jean removes Cerebro and collapses to her knees, the chair she was sitting in disappears when the shot changes, as does the large roundtable and chairs in the center of the room. Additionally, two red stripes suddenly appear on Cerebro after Jean sets it on the floor. (00:07:42)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1

Factual error: When the Sentinel reaches out to try to grab the dog, it smashes its hand against the grass and produces numerous cracks in the lawn with a metal clanging sound. Neither of these things would happen. The grass would have a bunch of divots in it, and the sound would be similar to something heavy falling in dirt. (00:02:09)

The Cure - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Avalanche places the sack over Adler, the sack is covered in holes, but no part of Adler's body or clothing is visible through the holes. The holes are the same color as the rest of the sack. (00:14:53)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Cyclops and Jean are approaching the newspaper kiosk, its opening is facing the sidewalk. When the shot changes to them walking past it, the opening has been replaced by a wall with newspaper clippings and a painting on it. Moments later, they are approaching the same kiosk, after he tells her that his mind is on nothing but her. (00:05:13)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Leech begins to telekinetically steal fruit from the vendor cart, he is stealing a red apple and what appears to be an orange with a yellow peel. When the shot changes, the orange is now orange in color, and as the two pieces of fruit move towards Leech, the orange is on his right, and the apple on his left. When the shot changes, the orange is now yellow in color again, and the fruits have swapped sides. (00:05:52)

Deadly Reunions - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Senator Kelly is giving a press conference to declare his candidacy for President, at the start there is a flag immediately to his right. When the shot changes, after a few seconds the camera pans out and the flag has now moved several more feet to his right. (00:14:05)

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

Sentinel never sank into sand in other episodes.

Well, it's shown here.

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Phaneron

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
