X-Men mistake picture

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When the Nasty Boys are walking Morph towards the wall to chain him up, the wall ends and leads outside on the left, and Xavier and Magneto are chained up only a few feet away on the right. A few shots later, the wall now appears to go on continuously, and Magneto and Xavier are considerably further away from Morph. (00:17:35)

X-Men (1992)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Magneto is asking how the Savage Land mutates were able to infiltrate his citadel, Amphibious tells him it's because Mr. Sinister long ago found his secret passage. The room they are in leads to a balcony, and has no door sealing off the balcony. In a world of superpowered beings, some of whom can fly, it wouldn't take much effort to get into a building that isn't closed off. Finding a secret passage from the ground level would be unnecessary. (00:15:00)

Continuity mistake: When Morph, Jean, and Cyclops are all knocked unconscious by Ruckus' scream, Morph falls to his right, and Jean and Cyclops fall forward. A couple of shots later when their bodies are shown on the ground, Morph is suddenly between Jean and Cyclops, despite falling the opposite direction of them. (00:11:30)

Clerks (1994)

Question: Regarding the scene with the highly offended customer, is the actor deliberately hamming it up, or is he just a bad actor?

Phaneron

Answer: I think it's a combination of both of those. He's played by Walt Flanagan, who also plays three other characters in the movie. Flanagan was a friend of Kevin Smith who filled in for several roles. He's definitely playing the part a little hammy... but I also think some of his reactions are a little off because it was (obviously) his first film, and he was inexperienced. (Though to be fair, he appeared in similar small roles in several other Smith films, and his acting improved over time).

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When the lone sky-rider is flying towards Magneto, Magneto is grasping the cliff with his right arm. When the shot changes, Magneto is suddenly swinging from a tree branch growing out of the cliff in order to kick the rider off his pterodactyl. (00:03:22)

X-Men (1992)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Character mistake: When wondering how close they are to the top of the cliff, Xavier asks Magneto "How much further?" The word "further" is used for non-measurable or figurative advancement. He should have asked how much farther, as that refers to actual distance between objects. An educated man like Xavier would certainly know the difference between the two. (00:02:44)

Suggested correction: While "farther" is used for physical distance, further can be too, especially in British English. Farther also tends to be used for a measured physical distance, so if the actual distance isn't known, further can be used. What Charles said is grammatically correct.
