Revealing mistake: During the battle scene at the beginning of the film, you can tell that the group of soldiers in the background are just animatronics because their bodies remain stationary while their arms move in a clockwork repetitive manner. (00:01:45)

Sanctuary: Part 1 - S4-E6

Trivia: This two-part episode is loosely based on X-Men Vol. 2 #'s 1-3.

Trivia: Throughout the course of its initial nine-year run, The X-Files had crossovers with 3 other television shows: the short-lived Millennium in the season 7 episode "Millennium," COPS in the season 7 episode "X-COPS" and Homicide: Life on the Street in the season 5 episode "Unusual Suspects." The crossover with Homicide: Life on the Street is especially noteworthy as that show was produced by a different network. The X-Files also had a non-canon crossover with The Simpsons in their season 8 episode "The Springfield Files."

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Other mistake: When the text depicting the episode name appears on screen after the opening credits, it says "The Phoenix Saga Part 2, The Cry of the Banshee." It should read "The Phoenix Saga Part 3, The Cry of the Banshee." Note: this mistake may only apply to the DVD version of the episode. The episode that appears on Disney+ correctly depicts it as "Part III." (00:02:20)

The Phoenix Saga (5): Child of Light - S3-E7

Trivia: Fellow Marvel Superheroes War Machine and Spider-Man make brief cameos during the montage of catastrophic events around Earth, although all you see of Spider-Man is his shadow and then his left hand when he shoots a web. (00:11:45)

The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Other mistake: When the X-Men and Corsair encounter D'Ken in the hallway, D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra remain in the background while the X-Men and Corsair are wiped from the screen. It's as if this was meant to be a zoom in on D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra, but their size relative to the camera remained the same and the X-Men and Corsair are simply removed from view. (00:19:35)

The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Plot hole: Rogue is able to punch Gladiator and knock him off his feet, yet in the previous episode when the Juggernaut punched Gladiator he didn't even budge. The Juggernaut is a lot stronger than Rogue, so either Juggernaut's punch should have affected Gladiator or Rogue's punch should not have. (00:17:55)

Other mistake: When Gambit is tossing playing cards in Lilandra's helmet, he is shown tossing four cards. All four cards are the exact same card (the ace of spades). (00:13:30)

The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Plot hole: Corsair takes out the X-Men by having Raza calibrating their stun weapon to humans. Since Corsair is also a human, the blast renders him unconscious along with the X-Men, and the Starjammers take him away. When Wolverine and Phoenix regain consciousness, they realize that Cyclops has been taken by the Starjammers as well. The problem is since Corsair was unconscious, he couldn't have possibly ordered the Starjammers to take Cyclops with them, and the Starjammers had no reason to take Cyclops of their own volition. Raza even acknowledges that Corsair is the one that takes Cyclops. (00:08:15 - 00:09:00)
