** In Kelly's case, he looks less distressed about being kidnapped and more repulsed about having a mutant blue scaly feet rubbing his face.

*** Even funnier is that during the filming of the scene, Rebecca (Mystique) did kick Bruce (Kelly) by mistake. She was given special lenses for Mystique's eye color, but she refused to wear them because they made her vision blurry and she was afraid to kick Bruce because of it. The directors agreed with Rebecca's decision...only for her to still end up kicking Bruce in the face by mistake. Apparently, Rebecca is not as coordinated as her character in real life. Bruce forgave her, saying that he didn't mind being kicked in the face by a naked supermodel.

Added DiffLines:

* Mystique's kidnapping Senator Kelly is a serious scene, particularly since her only line in the film has her express her hatred for him. However, when she starts assaulting him with a series of kicks across the face, the scene undergoes MoodWhiplash when the camera shows her with a [[CuteMonsterGirl cute little smirk]] as she uses her [[FootFocus feet]] [[ArmorPiercingSlap to bitchslap Kelly unconscious.]] It looks like she's having the time of her life using his face as a toy rather than one of the greatest oppressors of her kind. Then again, mutant or not, [[WithMyHandsTied how many women get to slap a politician with their bare feet and get away with it?]]
** In Kelly's case, he looks less distressed about being kidnapped and more repulsed about having a mutant blue scaly feet rubbing his face.
** The beating is funny due to SpecialEffectsFailure showing that the hitting sound effects, Mystique's slapping foot, and Kelly's recoiling face are not synchronized. The result is Kelly swinging his face before Mystique's foot hits him and then the hitting sound playing when Mystique's foot returns on the spot where Kelly's face is just when he is swinging his face at the other direction.

* A real life example: When Patrick Stewart was first approached to star in the film, he wasn't familiar with the source material. So the producer handed him an ''X-Men'' comic, which featured Professor X on the cover. After starring at it for a couple of seconds, Stewart responded with the rather epic:
--> "Why am I on the cover of a comic book?"

* In one of the outtakes, James Marsden reveals that the leather outfits started out so stiff, they could barely get over a single waist-high barrier in the scene where they approach the Statue of Liberty. The footage shows them stumbling, and nearly falling, over the barrier, even doing stretches to try and loosen the outfits.
-->'''James Marsden''': [after successfully vaulting the barrier for the first time] "Some geek's takin' pictures of us in the hotel right now with a telescopic lens. He's going, 'The new comedy: ''X-Men''!'"

* And, not just his lines, but also the first time Logan and Cyclops interact it completely demonstrates how they're going to get along. When first introduced, Cyclops offers a friendly handshake which Logan leaves hanging. When Logan shows no interest in Xavier's talk, he begins to leave, but realizes Cyclops is in his way. Instead of asking or walking past him, he grabs him by the colar and tries to threaten him. Without flinching, Cyclops just looks down at Logan's grip, before then looking towards Xavier as if asking for permission to hurt him. It cracks this troper up as its one of [[DemotedToExtra Cyclops' few scenes.]]
