I just got back from watching X-Men The Last Stand. Make sure you stay until the end of the movie - after the credits - if you go see it! Here are some mistakes to watch for.

First, something we all commented on right during the movie involved a battle at Alcatraz. The team moves towards Alcatraz in bright daylight - but when they get there, BOOM it is nighttime. I guess sunset comes down rather hard in this area of the world!

Something a little less obvious - Wolverine goes through a number of battles, and of course his skin heals up rather quickly. However, his CLOTHES seem to heal as well, which is a bit on the bizarre side.

This isn't a mistake, but the two older actors - Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart - get a multi-decade virtual makeover when they do a flashback to when they first met with teenage Jean Gray. The actors apparently had GREAT fun playing with the youth software and the results are pretty spectacular on film.

I was watching for inconsistencies during the flashback sequence, but everything *seemed* to be OK. The yellow NY plates they used were used from 1973 - 1986. Note that in this scene, Stan Lee has a cameo as the "hose man".
