Mojovision - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When Mojo's studio audience is cheering after he says "I give it two flippers up," you can tell by each character's celebratory movements that it is just a reverse of the shot where the audience was first shown earlier in the episode. (00:07:50 - 00:15:23)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: After Rogue and Beast have been shuffled out of the cube and into their television program, Jean is shown sitting down and leaning back on her elbows, while Wolverine is on his knees. When the shot changes, both are now standing upright. (00:13:08)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: The cube that Mojo has the X-Men captive inside is transparent on all sides, except for when Cyclops is saying "The X-Men don't fight without a reason." In this shot and the following one, the wall behind them, as well as the ceiling, are now paneled. (00:09:36)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Trivia: When the camera is panning across Mojo's studio audience after he has abducted the X-Men, you can see an older man in the middle of the crowd. This man is a caricature of Marvel Comics legend Jack Kirby. Coincidentally, Kirby died the day after this episode originally aired. (00:07:52)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Other mistake: When Jean is trying to dodge Spiral's teleporting blast, she ends up tripping on a power cord running across the floor. An electronics store wouldn't have a power cord running across its floor for this very reason. They would be begging for a lawsuit if they did. Her foot is also closer to the wall in the first shot than in the second shot. (00:07:30)

Beauty and the Beast - S2-E10

Character mistake: When Carly expresses her relief to Beast that he is fine after he was attacked by the anti-mutant group, he incredulously asks her how she knew he was a mutant. Aside from the fact that the Friends of Humanity were openly calling him a mutant in her presence when they accosted him, Carly was shown touching Beast's hand earlier in the episode. Despite being blind, she would also know that Beast's fur-covered hands would be quite different from the hands of regular people she might have touched. Given these facts, Beast should not have been surprised that Carly knew he was a mutant. (00:03:25 - 00:08:40)

X-Men (1992)

Trivia: A few weeks into the show's production, the staff was informed by Marvel that their character designs had to be changed. This is because the characters were modelled on artist Jim Lee's redesigns in the comics, and he, along with some other artists, were in the process of leaving Marvel Comics to found Image Comics. To convince Marvel to change their minds, storyboard artist Will Meugniot submitted a deliberately awful looking model sheet that looked reminiscent of 1970s Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

Repo Man - S2-E5

Trivia: Snowbird wasn't in the original script for this episode because they couldn't afford any more speaking parts. Larry Houston decided to add her to the episode and just not give her any lines, so that the full Alpha Flight team would appear.

X-Men mistake picture

Mojovision - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: When Mojo first starts talking to Cyclops through the television screen, Jean is standing next to Cyclops on his right. She then disappears and reappears for the next several shots, and when Mojo is telling Cyclops that he's offering the X-Men a lifetime television contract, she walks up to Cyclops. (00:04:59 - 00:05:48)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Rogue and Ms. Marvel crash-land into the ground, Rogue pushes Ms. Marvel to the side, with Ms. Marvel's hair being near the edges of the hole in the ground. When the shot changes, the edges of the hole are still in shot, but Ms. Marvel's hair is nowhere to be seen. (00:15:31)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Rogue walks by Carol Danvers' hospital room, you can see a nurse in the open space between the open door and the door frame. When the shot changes, the nurse is now standing in front of the open space, and would have been at least partially obscured by the door in the previous shot if she was standing in the same place.

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Beast is saying "A viral weapon could be easily concealed," his right hand is raised, and you can see that his thumbnail isn't long. When he begins pressing buttons on the control panel a couple of shots later, his right thumbnail is now long. (00:16:34)
