X-Men mistake picture

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is flying Gambit back to the mansion, the green sides of her uniform above her belt are incorrectly colored yellow, and Gambit's neck is bare, when it should be colored black because of his headgear. (00:16:14)

Phaneron

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Callisto's staff is roughly the same length as her body. When she is holding the staff to Cyclops' throat, only the bottom quarter of it is visible, when the rest that isn't obscured by their bodies should be visible and pointing outwards at her left. (00:18:06)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Storm and Callisto are about to engage in combat, they are using staves that look like lightsabers, with the hilts at the bottom. When they start striking at each other, both staves now resemble a double-edged lightsaber, with the hilt in the middle. (00:18:25)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Storm is offering the Morlocks sanctuary at the mansion, several of the Morlocks that were standing dozens of feet behind Storm in a previous shot are now standing in front of her. They are then behind Storm again when she is helping Callisto to her feet. (00:18:58 - 00:19:45)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Storm defeats Callisto in combat, Sunder and Tar Baby are in the far background, standing near a tunnel opening. When the shot changes, they are now standing in front of some machinery. (00:18:58)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Xavier is talking to Jean and Cyclops at the end, the three of them, along with Storm, are all to the left of the bed Gambit is lying on, with Storm being behind Xavier, over his right shoulder, and a piece of machinery behind her. When the shot changes, it is a closeup of Xavier, and neither Storm, nor the machinery are visible over Xavier's shoulder. When Jean and Cyclops leave the room, Xavier is now at the foot of Gambit's bed, several feet away from Storm. (00:20:08 - 00:20:32)

Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Cyclops and Jean Grey enter Wolverine's room at the end of the previous episode and find it a mess and him gone, Cyclops is wearing brown pants, a yellow collared shirt and a charcoal tie, and Jean is wearing a pink dress. This episode picks up where that episode ended, and suddenly Cyclops is wearing blue jeans and a purple turtleneck, and Jean is wearing off-white pants and a turquoise blouse. (00:02:06)

Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Factual error: After Wolverine falls into the ocean, he surfaces and grabs onto a platform of ice just after Sabretooth gloats about defeating him. Since Wolverine's skeleton is coated with a heavy metal, he wouldn't be able to surface. He would sink to the bottom and at the least have to resort walking to the nearby cliff wall and using his claws to scale it until he is back on the ground. (00:03:48 - 00:04:24)

Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Gambit, Storm, and Jubilee get into the back of the taxi, you can see the window seat behind the driver is unoccupied, which would suggest the three of them are occupying only two of the backseats. (00:12:51)

Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Storm tells Gambit to put the discount placard back, he sets it in front of the clerk's computer. When the bellhop comes to get everyone's bags, the placard has disappeared. (00:13:24)

Phaneron

Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Other mistake: When the hotel clerk is checking Gambit, Storm and Jubilee into their room, he determines that they are mutants by seeing footage of Storm using her powers at the Salem Center Mall from the very first episode. While it's not unreasonable that security footage from the mall could exist showing Storm use her powers, the footage also shows an extremely close zoom-in on Storm's left eye, which is extremely unlikely, unless the security camera somehow guessed she was about to activate her mutant powers.

Trivia: Following Disney's acquisition of Fox, the creators of this show pitched a revival to stream on Disney+. Producer Larry Houston has said he would come out of retirement specifically to work on this. The revival - titled X-Men '97 - was announced on Disney+ Day in November of 2021 for a 2024 premiere date, with much of the surviving original cast returning.

More trivia for X-Men

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.

Phaneron

Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.
