I've got to make a correction in one of the pics:
Hugh Jackman is not at "Bobby's House" He's at the "X Mansion". (I'll ask it to be changed on the website)
:)

By the way: Has anyone noticed that continuity "glitch" in the film? ;)

Continuity glitch? Ooh... Do tell! I saw the movie only once, in June, so I don't remember much... I've made up for it in watching the few clips out there, on the internet...

Continuity

Post by Bamferine »

After the attack, Logan, Rogue, Pyro and Iceman escape the X-Mansion and go to Boston.
During the whole attack and escape sequence, Logan is wearing a tank (as you can see in the backstage pic). When they enter the Drakes house, Logan is still wearing the tank. One of Bobby's lines is: "I'll try to find you some clothes" (but he says this to Rogue, not Logan), then he turns to Pyro and (Line): "Don't burn anything" and walks off screen. This is the last time in this sequence we see Logan wearing the tank. Then Cut to Bobby's Room with Bobby and Rogue blah blah blah, then Cut to the Drakes' kitchen where Logan tries to communicate via the device they found in Cyclop's car. There we see Logan is now wearing a white T-shirt. And he wears it all the way through the incident with the police, etc., etc.
Even if there was an offscreen explanation for this, it is still a continuity glitch in the final theatrical version.

Also: Where is Cyclops' car now? (Pyro is only seen blasting police cars) :LOL

Pyro (To the Drakes):
Ah, yeah well I destoyed your yard but Hey, we leave you one hell of a Sports Car!
:LOL

Hey, you're right about the car. I never thought about that before. I betcha Cyke was pissed at Logan when they finally got back to the mansion.

And thanks for these cool pics. I'm always fascinated by the effort that goes into making a special effects movie.

Question about NC's makeup. Remember in the beginning scene right before he goes on the White House rampage? How'd his pale makeup come off so quickly? It was like there one minute, then it was totally cleared away. I remember when he's peeking into that one room and we get a better look at his face, it's sort of smeared at the bottom, but how does it just turn to clean blue? Anybody?

well, maybe more ass-kicking actually took place in the white house scene. we just didnt see it and it looked like it was short. he could've hid somewhere and wiped it off really quick. plus he didnt have it around his eyes (i dont think)

Yeah, plus, if it was just a powder makeup, it could come off real quickly during quick jolty movements.

The bonus features on the X2 DVD suggest that the scene originally showed more fighting; at the points where - in the final release - we see the President and the Secret Service in the Oval Office, jumping at every sound outside the room, the computer-generated plans for the screen show Kurt surrounded by secret service agents. We've already seen him with most of his makeup wiped off by this point, though.

You're right - there's a picture in the gallery that shows this more clearly.

That looks more like a mask than anything to me...


If you watch the scene over a few times ((murder on your VCR, I'll tell you that!!)), you can catch glimpses of the makeup/mask/whatever becoming smaller and smaller.

Also, anyone see how you can see his tattoos when he first looks up at the first security guard? How'd they even miss that when he came in?
