Love in Vain - S4-E14

Plot hole: The Colony has video footage of the X-Men that they couldn't possibly have had access to even if such footage existed (as usual, the footage is clips from previous episodes). (00:08:35)

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 4 - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: The end of the episode shows Xavier standing with no assistance. The only time in the series that the use of his legs were restored were a side effect of him losing his powers. He has his powers in this scene, so there's not really any reason for him to suddenly have the use of his legs back. (00:19:15)

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 2 - S4-E9

Continuity mistake: Magneto straps Wolverine to the port side of a boat and then drops the boat on a warehouse. When Gambit is freeing Wolverine, Wolverine is suddenly on the starboard side of the boat. After Gambit frees Wolverine, they are both shown to be on the boat's port side. (00:17:00 - 00:18:00)

One Man's Worth: Part 1 - S4-E1

Continuity mistake: When the coffee shop owner is strong-arming Xavier, he is first shown gripping Xavier by the collar of his sweater. A couple of shots later, the coffee shop owner's hand is gripping the collar from inside the sweater. (00:15:30)

Family Ties - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: There are two continuity errors regarding the final shot of Wolverine in this episode. Firstly, his arms are colored yellow. Secondly, his costume has magically mended itself after being torn to shreds by his mutation earlier in the episode. (00:20:25)

Family Ties - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is mutated into a werewolf-like monster, portions of his costume are torn up including his boots. When he reverts back into human form, his boots are still torn up, but his bare feet are still colored blue. (00:19:10)

Family Ties - S4-E17

Other mistake: When Scarlet Witch falls from the cliff, she lands on a hover craft and kicks its pilot off. The pilot is then immediately show falling into a pond. It then takes Scarlet Witch several seconds to save Quicksilver who was free-falling from the same cliff. Given how fast the hover craft pilot fell to the ground, Quicksilver also would have fallen to the ground before Scarlet Witch could have caught him. (00:16:50)

Family Ties - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When the High Evolutionary is talking about using the speed enhancing powers of Quicksilver's DNA, the lightning bolt symbol is missing from Quicksilver's uniform. (00:13:40)

Phaneron

Family Ties - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Magneto is explaining the legend of Wundagore to Wolverine, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are just a few feet behind him. When the High Evolutionary greets Magneto, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have suddenly moved several yards away. (00:12:50)

X-Men mistake picture

Family Ties - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: After Magneto and Wolverine have been captured, when Wolverine is asking Magneto what is going on, the perspective of the shot makes it look like Magneto is looking down on Wolverine from a considerably taller height when they are both standing on a level floor. Additionally, the square slabs that make up the floor become smaller. (00:12:35)

Phaneron

Family Ties - S4-E17

Revealing mistake: After the New Men have captured Magneto, Wolverine, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, the establishing shot of the High Evolutionary's headquarters is a recycled shot of when Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver first arrived at his headquarters a few minutes earlier in the episode, played on a loop (note the lightning strikes and the High Evolutionary's pink energy field being repeated). (00:05:35 - 00:12:40)

X-Men mistake picture

Family Ties - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: For the first half of this episode, Magneto is wearing a red dress-shirt with a black tie under a dark gray trenchcoat. After he is captured by the High Evolutionary, he is suddenly wearing his usual red and purple costume. Even if Magneto brought a change of clothes with him, it's extremely unlikely that the High Evolutionary would change his clothes for him. (00:03:40 - 00:12:40)

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.
