    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), Hugh Jackman related a story about something that happened during the filming of the Weapon X flashback scene: while he was filming the corridor run (in which he is nude and backlit), he turned the corner and saw the female cast members, and also James Marsden's mother, waiting for him, hooting and waving dollar bills.
    • Goofs
      In Alkali Lake, as Nightcrawler and Storm are going to rescue the captured child mutants, when the camera pans to looking at the mutants with the back of the cell centre frame, you can clearly see Nightcrawler standing there before he actually teleports into the room a second or two later.
    • Quotes

      Professor X: Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here, and you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six-year-old girl.

      Wolverine: You'd do that?

      Professor X: I'd have Jean braid your hair.

    • Crazy credits
      When the 20th Century Fox logo fades away, the X in the logo stays for a second longer before it also fades away.
    • Alternate versions
      In the American version of the movie, Wolverine asks for "something other than chocolate milk" and receives the reply "There should be some Dr Pepper..." In international versions, the replay is "There should be some soda...". In both versions, the bottle is still a Dr Pepper bottle, only the audio is altered.

    X-Men
    With more confident direction, a more ambitious story, and impressively realized action set pieces, X2 is the rare sequel that improves on every aspect of the original - while also working as a great stand alone movie in it's own right.
