  • When Quicksilver questions whether Xavier, Hank and Logan are like him (mutants), Xavier tells Logan to "Show him." Logan mimics the pose taken by the Terminator in Terminator 2 when John Connor orders him with that exact phrase, and pops his claws.
  • Magneto quotes James Brown's "The Payback" during his rescue.
    Erik: I don't know karate, but I know crazy.
  • An episode of Star Trek: The Original Series appears on a screen — one about Time Travel, no less! (And in a film with Captain Picard in it.)
  • In their commentary, Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg admitted that they were inspired by '70s-era Conspiracy Thrillers when they came up with the idea of the military and Trask Industries covering up the experimentation and murder of mutant soldiers under the fog of war.
