Other mistake: When Cortez is using the remote control for the power inhibitor collar to fend off Gambit and cause him pain, you can see that Cortez is actually pushing the "Mutant Power On" button and not the "Pain" button that's just above it. (00:16:25)

Continuity mistake: The security footage of Cortez betraying Magneto is slightly different than the event itself. Cortez stated that Magneto would serve the mutant cause better as a martyr and then jettisoned his chambers into space. The security footage somehow has a shot of Magneto's chambers being jettisoned from a long distance with Cortez's martyr comment voiced over. (00:14:40)

X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback during Magneto's memorial, when the Nazis are approaching his home it says "Lehnsherr" on the door. After they kick the door open, the writing on the door has disappeared and either a hatch or a small window has appeared on the door from nowhere. (00:06:20)

X-Men (1992)
Audio problem: When Fabian Cortez says "Mark my words X-Man. Before this day is done you will beg me to let you join us," his mouth movement is out of sync with the words "is done." (00:05:40)
11th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Fabian Cortez is scapegoating Gambit in front of the mob, he grabs him by the blue clothing that lines the body armor on his chest. When he says to Gambit "Mark my words X-Man..." the blue clothing is now the same brown color as Gambit's trenchcoat. (00:05:20)

X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Rogue is asking about Gambit's whereabouts, she along with Beast and Xavier are close to the front of the shuttle. When the shot changes, the three of them as well as one of the astronauts are suddenly further back in the shuttle (note the doorway). (00:04:25)

X-Men (1992)
Factual error: Even though Xavier is a paraplegic, you can see him freely moving his legs when the astronaut helps him out of his seat and walk over to Beast. (00:04:20)
11th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Factual error: When Rogue attempts to correct the space shuttle's flight path, she has to let go because of the intense heat due to re-entry. Indeed, a temperature as hot as a shuttle in re-entry (upwards of 3,000° F) would have completely melted through her gloves, yet when she lets go, they only have a little smoke coming off them. (00:03:40)

X-Men (1992)
Audio problem: Beast's mouth is wide open when he says "Feet don't fail me now." (00:02:05)
11th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto first notices the missiles being fired at Asteroid M, he is dressed in loungewear and Xavier is wearing his usual green suit. When the shot changes Magneto is suddenly wearing his costume and Xavier is wearing a more casual outfit. Given how fast the missiles are shown to be approaching, they wouldn't have had time to change their clothes. (00:15:45)

X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: The missiles that are fired at Asteroid M are first shown to be approaching from Earth. When the shot changes, they are coming from the opposite direction. When the shot changes again, they are once again approaching from Earth. (00:15:45)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Factual error: The Moon is more than 230,000 miles away from Earth, yet in a shot of Asteroid M just outside of Earth's orbit, the Moon is right there as well. (00:15:50)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: A crowd of people has suddenly gathered in front of Magneto when Xavier says he wishes to speak with him. (00:14:20)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Audio problem: When Xavier is saying "I fear Magneto may come to depend upon it like a drug," Beast is actually the one mouthing the line. (00:14:15)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Gambit is trying to distract the Sentinels, both of his gloves are entirely fingerless whereas normally his gloves are only fingerless for the thumb, index and pinky fingers. (00:12:00)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Audio problem: Fabian Cortez's mouth is closed when he says "Lord Magneto." (00:10:15)

Trivia: The character that is watching Magneto and the other mutants depart is Black Panther, who in the comics is the ruler of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, and at the time of this writing is set to make his feature film debut in "Captain America: Civil War", followed by his own film in 2018. (00:08:55)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto is showing Asteroid M to the delegates at the U.N. meeting, the Genoshan delegate he forced to sit down has either moved to another seat entirely or the people that were sitting around him moved to different seats and other people filled in their seats. (00:04:05)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Plot hole: Some of the footage Magneto is showing the delegates at the U.N. meeting includes footage Magneto could not possibly have had access to even if such footage existed, such as the X-Men having mission briefings in the War Room, the Morlocks living in the sewers or Warren Worthington emerging from being buried under several feet of snow at his secluded home in the mountains. (00:03:10 - 00:04:05)
10th Apr 2015
X-Men (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto forces the Genoshan delegate to sit down, the chairs surrounding him are empty. A couple of shots later, the chairs are occupied. (00:02:35)
