Hugh Jackman in Logan (2017)

Goofs

Logan

Edit
Shared with you
Factual errors
(at around 1h 2 mins) When Logan attacks the mercs who are trying to capture Charles Xavier, he clearly drives his claws through their brains. Since Charles' power over them is based on his telepathy, the destruction of their brains (or even serious damage caused to them) should have caused them to collapse as there was nothing left for Charles to control.

Telekinesis, not Telepathy. Brain not required.

Continuity

(at around 39 mins) Logan and Charles are in the limo going to pick up Laura who is fighting Pierce's men and the police. As Logan is steering the car, there is a very brief shot of the backseat, and Laura is already sitting there.
(at around 3 mins) As the robbers in the opening fight scene run away toward their van you can see Logan's claws fade away rather than going back into his knuckles.
At the beginning where Logan, Charles and Laura flee from Pierce the first time in their car, the roof window of Logan's car changes its state from open to close in several shots.
An adamantium bullet was shown to be able to cause significant damage to adamantium by ripping off half of X-24's skull while Wolverine and X-24 are unable to damage each other's skeletons with their own claws.

A bullet does significantly more damage to a skeleton than a knife does.
(at around 39 mins) In the first car (black limousine) chase shoot-out, its windscreen and rear window bullet holes tallies constantly change: from shot holes to none to many and back inconsistently constantly. E.g. back window begins with three shot holes - then down to two, then five (at fence crash plus also at the later trade-in scene) then to none, then back to two - and sometimes also change locations: for the front windshield after two shots from fence entangled motorcyclist, there is none after escaping the compound up to approaching the train, then after, back to two and it goes on.

Factual errors

(at around 1h 40 mins) When Laura gets into the vehicle to drive while Logan was resting, she doesn't bother to adjust the seat. Considering the difference in height between her and Logan, there's no way they'd both be able to drive in the same seat position. Even sitting on the edge, her feet would barely touch the pedals.
The self-driving containers seem a good idea, especially in units of three to reduce air resistance - except their close coupling means they can't take corners.
When the kids are hoisting Logan up, the steady rotary motion of the winch handle translates into a jerky motion as if the rope is being pulled hand over hand.
When Laura gets into the vehicle to drive while Logan is resting, she doesn't bother to adjust the seat. Considering the difference in height between her and Logan, there's no way they'd both be able to drive in the same seat position. Even sitting on the edge, her feet would barely touch the pedals.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

No one in the film seems worried about the future horrific problem with coating an adolescent's skeleton with adamantium; namely, the deadly trauma that will happen to 11-year-old Laura's body and adamantium-coated bones as she grows into adulthood. It's not explicitly stated Laura underwent the same adamantium-bonding that Logan endured; we only see her claws being worked on in Gabriela's video. This is consistent with the comics, in which only X-23's claws are adamantium and not her entire skeleton. Without a specific in-film statement otherwise, it's reasonable to assume the same is true here.
(at around 18 mins) Caliban likens his weakness to sunlight to the character of Nosferatu. However, in the film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922) there is no character by that name; the vampire's name was actually "Count Orlok," with Nosferatu being his species. However this was intentional as the general audience will not know who "Count Orlok" is but will know that Nosferatu has to relate with Vampires. This would explain why Caliban burns when exposed to sunlight like a Vampire which Nosferatu also means.

Revealing mistakes

(at around 1h 1 min) During Xavier's seizure in the hotel, everyone is frozen in place by the assault. As Logan passes by the slot machines, one lady is looking around unaffected by the paralysis.
When Logan in nodding off while driving the Bronco, the gear selector can be seen through the windshield and it is in the "Park" position. The scene cuts to an interior shot and the selector is now in the "Drive" position. A moment later it is again in "Park" (the whole time the vehicle is in motion).
(at around 1h 1 min) When the main characters are attacked in the casino hotel in Oklahoma City, Logan uses the elevator to return to their room to administer Prof. X's medicine. When Logan gets off the elevator the down button is clearly pressed but nobody is waiting in the hallway to get on.

They got impatient and used the stairs.
(at around 12 mins) When Xavier falls out of his wheelchair, Patrick Stewart braces himself as he impacts the floor in a way that shows the actor is not really disabled.
There's a scene where Logan and Laura are in a small town somewhere between Oklahoma City and Eden. The scene was filmed in Amite, Louisiana, which can be determined from a Coca-Cola mural and a restaurant. A Louisiana state highway sign is briefly visible behind the heroes.

Miscellaneous

(at around 45 mins) The video on Gabriela's mobile is quite nicely edited and narrated for supposedly being a series of underhand recordings. The voice over even extends over several scenes. Being on the run, Gabriela would hardly have time to do this - even if she had the skill, equipment and software to do it.

Anachronisms

The price of the X-Men comic book was 40 cents, placing its publication to around 1979. But the comic books in the movie starred the "real-life" X-Men, including Wolverine, who didn't come into the public scene till 2000.

Audio/visual unsynchronised

(at around 39 mins) When Logan escapes the smelting mill, the tires of the limo squeal as if on asphalt, but the ground is dirt.
(at around 8 mins) During the first meeting between Logan and Pierce in Logan's Chrysler, Pierce leans in and says "I know what you're hiding, amigo," but his mouth doesn't move.
(at around 1 min) During the opening scene where the men are attempting to steal the wheels from the limousine, we can hear the distinctive sound of an air-driven impact driver, as used in commercial tire shops. When we see the outside shot of the man actually removing the lug nuts, he is seen using a standard 4-way lug wrench, and no air tools or air lines are anywhere to be seen.

Crew or equipment visible

(at around 8 mins) Early in the film, Pierce wears sunglasses in which the camera operator's reflection is visible throughout the scene.
(at around 1h 5 mins) In the RAM truck, the antenna of a Motorola production walkie talkie can be seen near the center console. This is very common for communicating with actors during driving scenes.

Plot holes

After birth, Laura had her skeletal structure replaced with Adamantium, just like Logan did in the 1970's. Yet, she is able to grow up to her current size with a rigid skeletal structure made out of Adamantium instead of human bones growing with age.

Character error

At the farmer's house after dinner, Charles addresses Logan as "Logan" although he had introduced himself to the family as "James." No one seems to notice.
(at around 54 mins) When Xavier tells Laura that Shane (1953) (the Western they're watching on the hotel TV) is nearly a hundred years that is not quite true. As that movie came out in 1953, it would only be seventy-six-years old in 2029. Hence, the phrase "...almost eighty years old" would be more accurate.
