Talk:X-Men (film)/Archive 1

Star Trek
Removed Star Trek paragraph...just because Patrick Stewart was in Star Trek and X-Men I see no reason to place this information in X-Men "film" category.

Lensherr?
Why is he referred to in this plot summary as Lensherr and not Magneto? Evan Reyes 23:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Slime in the movie?
When Senator Kelly gets the beach after escaping from Magneto, a boy is playing something. What's that exactly? Is it hinting at Kelly's mutant ability? Any official source mentioned it? --Mato Rei 06:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)


 * It's a jelly fish that got washed up on the beach, he's picking on it by poking it with a stick, which is why his sister is getting mad at him.Rglong 07:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Jelly fish? Thanks! I didn't expect that the answer would come out in the archived page. --Mato Rei 12:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Trivia Speculation?
"Although it is stated that the radiation device used by Magneto has no effect on mutants, it is clearly the cause of Jean Grey's stronger powers in the second movie.."

Is there a DVD commentary or interview to verify this theory? Without it, this point is just speculation and should be deleted.--DMD 16:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * It fractured the barriers in her mind which Xavier made to control her. Thus her ulterior personality was given more control

In the Easter Egg of the scene with Spiderman coming out, that isn't Jackman in the orangey black spiderman suit. Before the camera cuts off, you can see Jackman walking onto the stage there claping from the joke. So the paragraph in the main article should be changed, it wasn't Jackman at all.

I believe that Toad's (Ray Park) twirling of the pole when battling Storm, Jean Grey and Cyclops is a reference to his role as Darth Maul in Star Wars - Episode One. I don't have anything to support this, but the airing of this movie on FX's DVD on TV hints at it. Paul 02:59, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

With reference to the previous comment, 3:18 into this montage is the clip with the pole. 85.210.49.160 15:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Interview with Ray Park where he is asked about the reference. 85.210.49.160 15:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I just checked my DVD of the first film and it seems to be dead on for Toad and the pole spin

Speculation
There's no mention or evidence anywhere that Magneto's machine affects Jean Grey. It is more obvious and likely that her powers are set loose after she uses Cerebro (the other characters repeatedly warn her that she's not ready to use it and that it is dangerous).

Untitled
I saw some spurious entries added to the cast list, so I deleted them. Would have been fun if Tina Fey and Tom Wilkinson had been in this film, though.

I was just trying to start over
I was going to have a definitive history on the project, then someone deleted it. Probably should have warned everyone one. Oh well... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildroot (talk • contribs) 17:41, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well that's all well and good, but you deleted the whole thing. It's unnecessary and just shows disregard for work. The article isn't in a total state of disrepair. Little expansions here and there is ok. Alientraveller 18:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Dude, if you keep deleting my info, please tell me. I supply my statements with facts, sources, etc. User: Wildroot 19.23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It's called copyediting. Alientraveller 20:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

No, it's called annoying and useless. Blah.User: Wildroot 10:46, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Plot
The plot section is supposed to be the plot of the film, not a step by step creatively written account of the film.

Can we please change it to outline the plot… Pinothyj (talk) 10:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)…
 * What? Alientraveller (talk) 10:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

animation
i want to see how they use the technology to create seen of all mutants —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.99.105.95 (talk) 20:35, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Kitty Pryde cameo
I am surprised there isn't a mention of Sumela Kay as Kitty Pryde. Is it hard to find a source for it? Jhenderson 7 7 7  20:24, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Addition of false information
An IP hopper from Brazil has been adding unsourced additions of staff credits and cast members using the following IP addresses:, , , ,. A couple of examples can be clearly seen (here, and the most recent one is here). Should we leave the false information out of the article?

DVD release entitled X-Men: 1.5
When X-Men was originally released on DVD, it was a one-disc release. Later on, it was released as a two-disc version, entitled X-Men: 1.5. I have that version. Can someone more talented than me put that in the article? Thanks. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 03:56, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
