** Rogue's weapon of choice is a 1st-generation Walther P99 with a stainless steel slide, chambered in FN 5.7x28mm, that uses depleted uranium rounds in a titanium casing. There are several things wrong with this:
*** First of all, the Walther P99 (and all it’s subsequent models/generations) have only ever been chambered for 9mm and .40 S&W and there has never been a P99 chambered in FN 5.7 round, which was originally made for the FN [=FiveseveN=] and the FN P90, the only two guns available at the time of the movie that would be able to use said ammo. Strangely, when Rouge loads the magazine for his P99, he's really loading a [=FiveseveN=] magazine, plus a [=FiveseveN=] later appears in the hands of another character. However, the P99 may have been used because Jet Li's hands appear too small to wield the beefier [=FiveseveN=].
** Another inaccuracy is the usage of depleted uranium bullets and titanium casings. While depleted uranium has been used as for bullets and has several offensive capabilities such as armor piercing, being able to self-sharpen as it goes through targets, mild toxicity that could kill or sicken an enemy, and [[RuleOfCool the fact that it's awesome]] for a guy to shoot [[AppliedPhlebotinum armor piercing, radioactive bullets made from an exotic metal]]. However, in real life, depleted uranium is only used in ''anti-aircraft ammunition'' because [[AwesomeButImpractical pistol cartridges lack the power for depleted uranium rounds to pierce through targets or self-sharpen, not to mention, depleted uranium is ''very'' expensive]]; on a similar note, titanium being used as cartridge casings is also impractical since titanium is also expensive and offers no purpose while being used as bullet brass.

* LetTheBossWin: All of Shiro's men fear the consequences that may follow should they actually score a hit on him in sparring. When he is momentarily distracted, one of them accidentally strikes him, and the minion fully expects the worst. Instead, Shiro seemingly subverts this by reassuring the terrified {{mook|s}} that it was Shiro's own fault for being distracted and congratulates him on the hit. Then he [[DoubleSubversion double subverts]] this by ripping the poor guy's ear off.
