X-Men Origins: Wolverine

At some point a car drives over a one lane bridge (before the Wolverine goes to the paddock).

After the bridge an arrow pointing forward is on the left hand side of the road, revealing its filming locations of Australia and New Zealand.

This also shows the old couple driving on the wrong side of the road, even though this was supposedly America.

When Kayla is killed for real, you can clearly see her carotid artery still pulsing in her neck.

In the village scene when Wolverine holds Sabretooth's hand to stop him from killing the man, you can clearly see that in some scenes Wolverine's claws are drawn out, while in other scenes it isn't.

When Kayla Silverfox is dead at the end of the film, her mouth is open/closed in different shots.

When young Logan is running down the hallway, you can see some after-effects surrounding his upper body.

After the operation that Logan undergoes it's shown that he is dead, and in the X-ray you can clearly see his throat moving.

However, this could also be seen as a sign that he is still alive, which is confirmed moments later as he emerges from the tank.

At the end of the movie, as Wolverine stands over the dead body of Silverfox, she is still moving slightly.

Her eyes even move after Wolverine closes them.

When Gambit knocks Logan through the wall of the bar in Louisiana, the hole changes size.

One size when he makes it, and another when Gambit comes through it into the alley.

In the helicopter chase through the forest, when Logan is on the motor bike, you can clearly hear the separation of shots coming from the machine gun mounted on the side of the helicopter.

However, it is a Gatling style machine gun capable of shooting 6,000 rounds a minute.

The sound of it firing is more like a hum rather than a typical bang-bang-bang sound from a standard hand held sub-machine gun.

The sound department appears to have simply chosen a "machine gun" sound from a list without being accurate to what type of machine gun it is.

Weapon XI has single long blades that run through the length of his arms.

Since adamantium can't be bent, this would mean when the blades are retracted, Weapon XI can't bend his elbows.

Yet in the "activating" scene, his elbow was bent.

At the end of the film when Wolverine is talking to Gambit, the links that his dog tags are clipped on with move.

In one scene, you can clearly see the link is at the side of his neck, but when it cuts to Gambit and back to Logan, it is hidden.

Sabretooth is clearly being shot through the chest by Weapon XI laser vision, yet when Sabretooth regenerates and stands up there are no holes in his shirt or cape, as if it never happened.

In the finale, the mutants who will become the first generation of students for Xavier's School are freed by Wolverine.

One might expect that the students to mention the grizzled, hairy rescuer with long metal claws in his hands, or that their psychic mentor might pick up on it.

Cyclops is the only exception, as he was blind throughout that sequence.

Yet when Wolverine reaches Xavier's School in _X-Men (2000)_ (qv) movie, he is a complete mystery to everybody.

However, none of the children saved from the prison become an X-Man with the exception of Scott Summers/Cyclops, who didn't see Logan/Wolverine save the children from the prison.

When Wolverine leaves Gambit's plane, he takes off his jacket before jumping out.

He doesn't leave the island with Gambit, and therefore never gets his jacket back.

But, in _X-Men (2000)_ (qv), he still has the jacket.

However, with a 17 year gap between this movie and the first X-Men, it's possible he gets his jacket back, but as yet it's not explained how.

After Wolverine jumps out of the plane to go to Three Mile Island he takes some violent bounces across the water.

Yet when he shows up moments later in the facility he is completely dry and his clothes are unscathed.

In the bathroom scene, you can clearly tell that Logan's knives are CGI.

After the scene where Wolverine breaks out of the adamantium injection chamber and escapes the facility, there's a close up of Logan looking out into the wilderness.

His hair is nicely shaped and dry even though he just came out of a chamber that was filled with water.

After Wolverine slices through the first vehicle, the vehicle flips showing no damage from the claws.

When Gambit is first introduced in the casino, he has a slight beard (especially noticeable when he says "Do I owe you money?").

However, after knocking Wolverine through the wall and into the alley, he is shown to be almost completely clean-shaven.

In the boxing match between Wolverine and the Blob, when the Blob is losing his balance his position changes several times from different shots.

At first the poster on the wall is behind him then the corner by the wall is behind him, then when he falls backwards on the ropes it is on the open side of the ring towards the room, the opposite side of the poster.

When the Blob falls on the ropes at the end of his boxing round with Wolverine, the ropes are underneath him and one is over him near his neck, but this rope disappears instantly when Wolverine stands over him with his claws in the next shot.

Although Jason Stryker appears to be younger than Cyclops in this movie and yet seems older in _X2 (2003)_ (qv), it is entirely possible that by the time the events of X2 take place, Jason has been through so much mistreatment at his father's hands that he is prematurely aged.

Sabretooth and Wolverine are supposed to be brothers, but in the first _X-Men (2000)_ (qv) movie they encounter each other several times and there is no mention of this connection.

This is because Sabretooth suffers from amnesia just like Wolverine, as explained in the comic book "X2 PrequelsWolverine", which takes place between _X-Men (2000)_ (qv) and _X2 (2003)_ (qv).

When Logan is slicing everyone up after getting his surgery, he's naked but you can see that 'Hugh Jackman' (qv) is wearing shorts during the fight/escape scene (until he's outside.

) On more than one occasion (as himself and as Weapon 11), Dead Pool uses his swords to stab people.

Yet, when he pulls them out, there is no blood on the blades.

However, the reason for this is the producers wanted to keep a low age rating.

When Logan and Victor's fight causes them to smash through a window, Logan's hair is a mess from the fall but in the following shot as Logan turns his head, his hair is perfectly combed, followed by the next shot where his hair is once again messy from the fall.

The child actor playing young James/Logan has blue eyes.

'Hugh Jackman' (qv) has brown eyes.

However, eye colour can change over a lifetime, especially as a young child.

This may also be a mutant attribute.

Although the scene is meant to be in a logging camp in Canada, one of the vehicles clearly has an old New Zealand registration plate with silver letters on a black background dating the vehicle around 1977/78.

In one of the beginning scenes when they are all aboard the small, corporate jet, they are pulling maneuvers that well exceed the maximum load factor of any passenger jet aircraft.

Lighting in the foyer of the 1845 mansion was provided by light bulbs in a grand chandelier.

The first home to have electrical lighting was that of Joseph Swan, one of the inventors of the light bulb, in England in 1879.

It's an even stranger anachronism when considering the 1845 mansion is deep in the Canadian wilderness, an unlikely place to have early electricity.

When Wolverine goes to Las Vegas, he clearly drives there and approaches from the outskirts of the city, passing by a "Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas" sign.

There are three of these signs - one on the Boulder Strip, one on the Las Vegas Strip, and an alternate "welcome to downtown Las Vegas" one on the north end of the strip.

There is not one on the outskirts of the city as shown in the film.

In the first scene of the movie, it reads "North-West Territories, Canada, 1845".

Canada and the Northwest Territories were separate British colonies until 1870, but this is done deliberately for a modern audience, who would be unfamiliar with the terms used in 1845.

When Wolverine discovers Silver Fox during her faked death, she is laying in a pool of blood and her clothes are ripped and bloody, implying that she died at the claws of Sabretooth.

Later, they explain that she faked her own death by taking some sort of drug to make her appear chemically dead.

If she just took a drug to create the illusion of death, then she didn't need to suffer any real wounds to fake it.

However, when Wolverine discovers her body and assumes she's been killed by Sabretooth's claws, wouldn't he have noticed that physically she didn't actually have a wound on her entire body and become suspicious that she actually wasn't dead? Also, Wolverine has an extremely advanced sense of smell.

He should have been able to tell she hadn't been freshly killed.

Even if it was her blood that had been collected earlier, he should have been able to tell it wasn't fresh.

(This could have been done on purpose to illustrate Logan's unfortunate tendency to be blinded by his overwhelming rage.

The tremendous level of stress he would have gone through during the entire ordeal would have been staggering.

Since he's also not one to sit around and wait he may have left her there and gone off to avenge her.

There's the possibility that Sabretooth was very aware of Wolverine's sensory capabilities and knew how to counter them, but they didn't go into it.

) Wolverine puts the wrong end of the cigar into his mouth shortly before Zero shoots it, or so it seems.

In fact, the head of his cigar is merely raggedly clipped and heavily chewed, and can be seen as such in previous shots.

In this film, Scott's optic blasts generate heat as seen by the scorching they leave behind.

In the other films (and all other media) Scott's optic blasts only generate concussive force.

However, it is said that Dr.

Xavier has helped Scott's progress and has helped him to control the intensity of his optic blasts.

As Wolverine is admiring his new claws in the bathroom he touches the tip of one, making a shrill sound as of metal striking metal, though it was only his fingertip, but this is because his fingertip is also made of adamantium, and as seen, Wolverine pokes his claw through his skin, making it possible to make a squealing sound.

When Wolverine flies through the air towards the Zero's helicopter you can see the blades of the copter spinning in one direction but when it switches to the close-up as his claws cut the blades, they are spinning the other direction.

This may be due to the frame rate of the camera used, similar to when car wheels look like they are spinning backwards when they are filmed.

At school Victor Creed meets Scott Summers when Victor jumps over a floor you can see there's no shadow.

When Zero's chopper approaches the barn for the first time, the closeup of the rocket pod shows that it is full.

The chopper fires one rocket from each pod to destroy the barn.

When next we see the chopper it is hovering in front of Logan, trapping him between it and the 2 vehicles.

There is a brief glimpse of the rocket pods.

Each rocket pod now has 2 rockets missing, when there should only have been one.

After Deadpool (Wade) comes off the elevator near the beginning of the movie, cutting at bullets and clearing the path to a man with diamonds, he stops and stays in a lounging position after cutting down the last two men.

In that instance, two wires are clearly visible near his shoulders.

During the scene in Lagos, while Team X is walking up to the building, only one katana is visibly strapped to Wade's back.

Later in the elevator, both are visible, although he did have time to strap it on while walking to the elevator.

(at around 55 mins) In the small Nairobi village where the team is interrogating the villagers (to find out where the special rock was found), there is a short shot were the leader of the village is replying, and in the "foggy" background (center screen), a smoke machine can be seen puffing away.

In the jungle scene where Sabertooth and Wolverine begin to get at odds you can see the fog machines shooting out mist in spurts.

At one point you can actually see the pipe and nozzle.

When Victor and Logan are both on the tower fighting Weapon XI, it is clear that the tower side changes when XI begins attacking the 2 brothers.

When XI jumps over Victor and Logan, the tower side marks that its on the right side of Victor, but in the next scenes it changes to his left side.

Later in the battle scene Victor turns himself to get XI by his neck.

During the scene where Logan destroys the helicopter, while the helicopter is rolling one can clearly see that the cockpit is empty.

In the next shot, all of its passengers are back inside.

However, if you look closer you can actually see a pair of legs and a torso (attached together) flying near the top right corner of the cockpit, and then when the heli lies still, the legs are smacked against the cockpit.

On Zero chasing Logan by a helicopter scene; while two SUV chasing Logan, just after the helicopter appears at the and of the road, you can clearly see that helicopter's rocket launchers are empty.

After Logan cuts trough SUV from the side, we see helicopter from behind where rocket launcher has only three blanks on left launcher where at the beginning of scene before blowing up the house they only sent two rockets from left and right launchers.

When the farmer speaks to Logan the morning after he sleeps in the barn, Logan is sitting sideways on the motorbike, he gets off it and stands up to put the jacket on, but the bike doesn't move at all.

Then when he mounts the motorbike again it bounces on its suspension with his weight.

When Wolverine notices the farmer's motorcycle, he calls it a chopper.

It's supposed to be a 1964 Harley Davidson FL, and appears to be in pretty much stock condition.

A chopper is a bike that has been stripped down or "chopped" to a bare essentials condition.

However, the term "chopper" is incorrectly used by many people to describe any kind of large motorcycle.

Many "Canadians" have a heavy USA Southern drawl.

When Scott Summers is in Spanish class, we see verb conjugations written on the chalkboard.

The word "tu" is written without an accent mark.

So it means "your" in Spanish, not the pronoun "you".

When Logan escapes from the facility where he got the adamantium fused to his bones, he makes an "X" in the wall, but the middle sections, which ate not connected to anything, do not fall.

As Wolverine comes back to life in the adamantium injection tank, several shots in a row shows the diagrams inked all over his body to guide the needles.

Seconds later, when he stands up to escape, there are no marks on him anywhere.

The corn the farmers wife holds during dinner disappears and reappears between shots.

In the bar in Canada when Logan faces Creed, and the close up shots of Logan holding his claws to Creed's face, when Logan exposes and retracts his claws you can see 'wrinkles' of skin between his fingers but when the claws are not moving the skin is smooth.

However, these wrinkles could be a result of the damage to Wolverine's skin every time he exposes or retracts his claws.

The smooth shots are the result of his healing power recovering from the wound.

Victor kills John Wraith by sticking his hand into Wraith's torso and ripping his spine off.

Later, when Logan sees Wraith dead on the ground, Wraith's shirt is buttoned, clean and intact.

When Kayla Silvertooth "dies", it is said it is due to an injection of hydrochlorothiazide.

This is a diuretic drug, all it would do is make her urinate more.

It is also not available by injection.

As Logan lunges at Blob in the boxing ring, you can hear him screaming, but his mouth is closed.

- PLOTThe subtitles say that Kayla's death takes place 5 years after the breakup, yet when Logan screams at Stryker in the hospital, he says its been 6 years.

When Wolverine knocks out Blob during their fight the ring's ropes ropes collapse under Blob's immense weight.

At different points during their conversation following the fight the ropes appear either upright as if nothing had happened or still collapsed.

Kayla tells Logan the story of a wolverine howling at the moon.

Wolverines cannot howl, as their vocal cords are not made for it.

However, cultural stories are not always scientifically accurate, especially if they are a way for a culture to explain something in nature.

When Stryker, and Sabertooth capture Scott in the school Stryker says "All that is left is Logan", but after that in New Orleans Sabertooth is seen taking blood from John Wraith.

So Logan wasn't the last one.

This may be because Wraith's power may have been considered an extra bonus that could be retrieved if the opportunity arose.

Stryker may not have expected to be able to catch Wraith because while he can track and restrain Logan, Wraith can teleport away at any time as long as he is awake.

Also, Logan was willing to undergo the procedure (which was secretly a test to see if Deadpool would survive the procedure) because he wanted revenge for Kayla's death, whilst Wraith is ashamed of what he has done with his powers and would not willingly use them to help create a super-weapon.

It is established that Logan was born with healing ability and his bone claws.

Later the admantium he was injected with got bonded to them and the rest of his bones, and became his metal claws.

So Weapon XI should have only gotten his healing ability and his bone claws, not admantium ones.

However, Deadpool would have been given the same procedure as Logan, as indicated by the fact that Logan was just a test to see if Deadpool would survive said procedure.

When Wolverine and Gambit are flying in the plane, they are carrying on a normal conversation but without the use of headsets.

In a small, two-seater plane it's nearly impossible to hear your own voice screaming, much less someone next to you, because of the proximity of the engine to the passengers.

When Gambit shocks Logan and Creed in the alley, a pile of modern (large face) twenty dollar bills can be seen floating around.

As this movie is supposedly set in the late 70's/early 80's, they are out of place.

When Victor and Logan are fighting in the Vietnam War (during the opening credits sequence), Victor ends up getting in a fight with American soldiers many of whom are carrying M-16 rifles with a 20" barrel and full barrel guard as well as a period correct non adjustable butt-stock.

However when we see Logan running to help Victor, he is carrying a modern AR-15 style carbine rifle with an adjustable butt-stock and smaller 18" barrel with a round barrel guard which wasn't around during the Vietnam War era.

In Nigeria, Xero throws his guns in the air with the slides shown locked open.

In the next shot they are closed as he catches them with new magazines, and begins firing immediately without chambering the first round (which is necessary in order for all semi-automatic pistols to fire).

The early years of James Logan people, featuring his rivalry with his brother Victor Creed, his service in the special forces team Weapon X, and his experimentation into the metal-lined mutant Wolverine.I have seen worse superhero movies.

I was pumped for this movie when it was released a Wolverine-only movie?! It seemed too good to be true.

Hold up, Bub. While this is second to none in the market for violent slashing and graphic violence and awesome moves and combos as what one would expect a Wolverine game should be, it just comes short with some limitations.

You all know the story, its an origins story of wolverine in about 1980 as I remember. The upside really is the acting for the most part is good and it has enough action for it to be an action movie but is really just it.

After watching this years' Deadpool, the movie that got everything right, I thought I should review the film that came out back in 2009 that go so much wrong. The annoying thing is that the film starts off so promisingly, with a fantastic montage of Wolverine and Sabertooth fighting their way from the American Civil War to WW2 to Vietnam.

I found this story to be pretty shallow as things just seemed to happen without explanation. The beginning scene just jumps right into it with no context given.

This is the worst X-Men film out there, sorry Hugh.

YOUR PAST CAN BE REDEMPTIVE.A trailer that inspires a viewer to cinematic admiration through a story that shows not only where wolverine and some other characters have come from, but also how they got there.

This origins film in the X-Men universe doesn't stand up well against the others, even compared to The Last Stand, and even with Hugh Jackman kicking ass and looking buff. Wolverine (Jackman) enters an experiment to become even stronger, and defeat his 'sworn brother' Creed (Liev Schreiber), who's on a rampage, killing the mutants that were once close to him.
