Fun fact: Patrick Stewart debuted in his first movie Life Force before he started later on in the franchise Star Trek the next generation. The more you know
@@cgross411Fun Fact: You're almost COMPLETELY wrong. Stewart's first major film role was "Fall of Eagles" in 1974. Dune came out a year before Lifeforce. Stewart WAS on Star Trek, The Next Generation. So good on you for knowing that. 😂
Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart were perfect for their respective roles. Particularly McKellen’s smarmy attitude, and the way he delivers certain lines. Chef’s kiss
True Story: during the fight scene between Wolverine and Mystique Hugh Jackman accidentally stabbed Rebecca Romijn’s stunt double in the thigh, he was horrified and repeatedly apologized but the stuntwoman was actually bragging proudly that she got stabbed by Wolverine.🤣🤣🤣
Kevin Feige was an Associate Producer for this movie. He would tuft up Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine hair in between takes, to make sure it was more pointy 😂😂
He controls electromagnetics, which our brains have a form of when our neurons and synapses fire off while thinking. He can probably feel some distortion when the professor reads his mind. Or they were just good enough friends that he knew when Charles got quiet that meant he was reading a mind or minds, and he was trying to figure out Magneto’s plan in hopes of thwarting it before it happened.
Fun fact: The fight scene between Mystique and Wolverine was choreographed by Ke Huy Quan, Short-Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Data from The Goonies. Of course, also the best actor Oscar winner from Everywhere, Everywhere All at Once (2022)
I abhorred that line every time, but recently read that they took out some one Toad’s lines from earlier in the movie that made it make sense. (Copied) In the original script Toad would make lines like "you know what happens when a toad wants food?" and then he'd eat a guy or whatever. "You know what happens when a toad is in a hurry?" And then he jumps really far, etc, etc, etc. And then when Storm finally fries him the joke makes sense because she's mocking his own catchphrase. But of course it sounds horrible as is because they left out the first half of the joke.
It's also one of two Joss Whedon lines that got carried over from numerous scripts and drafts. The other being, "you're a dick".... according to Whedon, it was supposed to be delivered sarcastically.. of which Halle did not do lol so a lot of factors here
Fun Fact: Before this movie was made, Magneto’s helmet in the comics was PURELY for decoration and had no use at all, but one of the writers David Hayter (aka the voice of Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid) suggested that Magneto’s helmet should protect him from all telepathic abilities. Because he actually asked a question that for some reason in over 30 years of comic history, none of the comic writers ever had an answer for, “What’s to stop Charles Xavier from just using his powers to stop Magneto during a fight?”.
Fun Fact : Dougray Scott was supposed to play Wolverine but few weeks before shooting, he had to drop out due to schedule conflict with Mission Impossible 2. Then, under the recommendation of Russell Crowe (who was also considered to be Wolverine), Hugh Jackman was cast as a last minute replacement for the character. Many people doubted him at first because of his height and he wasn't a big name when he was cast. Glad that he managed to prove everyone that he is the Wolverine that the big screen deserves, the rest was truly history in the making. Awesome to know that after 24 years, Jackman is still very commited to this role 🙌
Ke Huy Quan was the fight coordinator for this movie! Getting roles was pretty difficult at this time. So using his martial arts background helped him out to at least get behind the scenes work in Hollywood.
Anyone else rewatching in prep for D&W? I am LFG!!!!!! Fun fact: the truck driver who drives rogue at the start of the film voices beast in the animated series.. andrew how did you miss that!! 😂
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine was everything for me as a kid growing up😭 now seeing it always makes me wish they did more for the team like how 97 does so Im excited for whatever this new take will be!!
58:53 Wolverine, Jean Grey and Cyclops's love triangle lifted directly from the comics and the animated series. It's a whole thing with Wolverine wanting her, her somewhat wanting him but never giving in to those feelings.
Always thrilling when someone hasn’t seen ANY of these. Can’t wait to rewatch X2 with these 2. I know them so well it’s totally engaging seeing how they hold up.
Nobody remembers Anna Paquin as Rogue. She won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 11 for her role in The Piano in 1994, making her the second youngest Oscar winner
Perfect time to get into the franchise. Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart kill it in these movies with other great cast and even better movies soon to come! Always nice to have a rewatch too!
Fun Fact, and one that I’m really surprised Andrew didn’t know/say, the cop who discovers Mystique “this one’s still alive” is the one and only David Hayter, our beloved Solid Snake from the Metal Gear series. Who also wrote the screenplay for this, X-2 (I believe) and Watchmen. It’s only 3-4 seconds, but that is indeed him
I'm still a little shook at Tara referring to Sir Patrick Stewart as Patrick. Makes me think of a line from Ever After "Do not address me so informal, madam!"
@@jorgecaballero6215his description of how he goes for periods of over-hydrating then robs himself of it days before filming to increase how he looks, and the resulting massive headaches he gets from it. That’s commitment to a part.
The “Toad struck by lightning” zinger is a leftover from Joss Whedon’s punch-up rewrites. He added a runner where Toad would share “Toad facts” to taunt the X-Men while using his powers. “Did you know a Toad’s tongue can extend…Did you know a Toad’s legs can generate a force equal to…” et cetera. Storm’s line was supposed to be a bad ass, sarcastic, shut-this-fool-up triumphant moment but they cut out all the setup so it just kind of…is a line in this movie forever.
Oh, I didn't know that bit of trivia, makes a lot of sense now! I always thought it was just a bad line, period. (Personally I always thought it would have been better to say "They croak" as a punchline).
@@RealBased Not sure…but it was maybe a concern. I’m not sure why else they clearly had thought about that line for it to be in the comic…yet not be in the movie itself. Another fun (though admittedly very cheesy line) from the comic I always remember is Wolverine seeing Magneto rip open the train and quip: “Who are you? The Conductor!?!”
In my personal opinion, Storm is severely underrated. Marvel downplays her a lot. She’s a literal GODDESS. I get that there’s only so much they can showcase but come on, they could’ve shown a bit more of what she’s capable of. The whole Storm vs Toad showdown should’ve been way more in Storm’s favor. He kicked her around like she isn’t Mother Nature herself.
6:03 That guy was/is the voice of Beast in the X-Men animated series and in the new X-Men 97 show! 6:24 And the "whatever you do dont hit him in the balls" guy was a staple on a bunch of Are You Afraid of The Dark episodes! The Zeebo the Clown episode in particular!
The scene after they land on Liberty Island is the first time the cast wore the leather suits. They were a little hard to walk in and the cast had a hard time getting up the steps.. 😂😂
literally just finished watching this like 2 hours ago - trying to do an X-Men marathon today before I watch Deadpool and Wolverine tomorrow cause I’ve haven’t seen these movies in YEARS 😂 (just finished X2 rn, heading to The Last Stand) anyway, I loved this movie it’s a really fun, action-packed story with great performances all around!
I have watched them so many times I can remember every scene and have so much nostalgia and it's beautiful and I can't wait for Deadpool and wolverine I'm seeing it Friday
For Andrew: While Dougray Scott lost his X-Men role to Hugh Jackman due to his stunt injury during Mission Impossible 2, Hugh Jackman lost the Pirates of the Caribbean role written for him & named after him, to Johnny Depp!!
Magneto is my favorite character, I find him similar to Koba from Planet of the Apes as both have hatred for humans and both fight for the cause of their kind.
Just for clarity, Wolverine aren’t wolves they look like big badgers but are more closely related to weasel’s. So, they’re actually more like big, mean, weasel’s.
I think Wolverine vs Freddy Krueger would be an interesting fan-fiction. Like, obviously Wolverine would destroy Freddy, but what if Freddy is able to damage Wolverine in his nightmares? 🤔 Wolverine has a lot of trauma from the past that could totally be used against him
Born in 96/97, my brother and I had all the xmen action figures from this movie. I loved Gambit, my brother loved Cyclops. Even had the statue of liberty head for a playset and it had wolverines claw mark on the end that can fit wolverine and you can just hang him there.
Omg I clicked SO FAST to find out who hadn’t seen the X-Men movies 😂😂 and YAY Tara you are in for such a great time! I love them all! (Granted I’m not all that judgemental when it comes to movies I just need to be entertained for it to qualify as good!)
So many seam to miss that Magneto tries to change the worlds' leader to mutants so they will be changing the laws in their country to their advantage. And so to the positive for the mutant.
Got to meet Ray Park close to 2 months ago at a Con. He's got to be one of the nicest celebs you can come across at ComiCons and he really cares for the fans
One of the most gruesome comics was when Magneto ripped all the adamantium from Logans entire skeleton. The pain was so severe it turned him into a feral monster.
15:01 - in the movie they had Anna act the character of Jubilee, with Rogue's ability (and curse) but without her strength (that Rogue acquired later on in life).
He’s not a wolf, tho. At all. Wolverines are in the badger family. A tough, lethal animal with huge claws. Nothing-in any way whatsoever-like a wolf. Hugh Jackman didn’t know til after filming the 1st movie, either🤭
And in this opening we establish EVERYTHING we need to know about Magneto, and why he does what he does. Some of the most concise and moving storytelling in cinema.
Minus Storm, Toad, and Sabertooth's lack of character depth, Cyclops egregious boy scout mentality, some dated visuals, and the fear to where classic costumes, this movie still holds up as an adaptation and introduction to the X-Men.
I’m a huge x - men nerd and Logan wolverine is my all time favorite superhero on X-MEN aka DEADPOOL and WOLVERINE was everything I wanted and more as a comic nerd and superhero fan I felt like a kid again watching it in in theaters
So nice to revisit where it all began. And especially to see how Hugh Jackman simply IS wolverine, from the first second on. So stoked for Deadpool vs Wolverine :D
Hi! I'm from future and I wanna say that Tara will be singing the 20th Century Fox intro every time in these movie series and it's gonna be iconic! no complaining! On a different note I hope u guys will let Tara enjoy the films before educating her what's the lacking based on comics.
Cant remember about the movies but magneto can control magnetism in general, so he just kinda bends any magnetic pull to his will, thats why he can fly.
Okay at this point I’m just instantly clicking on anything that Tara is part of because I absolutely *love* her commentary regardless of what movie it is. Tara you rock!
34:32 Freddy entering Logan’s dreams ends up being terrified himself . Then Logan turns the corner and is just like “ I’m not locked in here with you bub, you’re locked in here with me !!”
At the time, X-Men was the no.1 superhero team/comic book series by Marvel. But the success would 'evolve' even further with becoming Marvel's 2nd franchise on film. The original longest running, shared universe with it's first major, superhero team. Although they were around for over 30 years at this point, their meteoric rise through multimedia made them unstoppable (animated series, toys video games, etc). From their further rising, came this 'ultimate' first installment. Hyper-realistic with social commentary and a few other things in between without being a overly 'comic-book' movie. The late Richard Donner and his wife, Lauren-Shuler Donner were executive producers (The Donners' Company) of the film series. Great cast, good writing, bold direction and treatment of the characters. Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hugh Jackman (his film debut) as Wolverine would become seminal to this saga. Over 20 years on film and most of it succeeded more than failed. If you wish to journey onward, prepare for a real evolution.
11:56 I didn't know that the Toad actor was Darth Mau! Thanks Andrew! 25:17 Anna Paquin is Rogue. Second youngest Oscar winner for The Piano when she was 11. 34:00 If Magneto believed in it so strongly he would've sacrificed himself rather than choose an innocent that didn't support his cause and sacrifice her.
27:29 in the comics magneto pulled all the adamantium off his skeleton which actually made him stronger because it was like a limiter for his animalistic senses so he basically became a beast
This movie was awesome to me - I read lots of marvel comics and their story lines were epic; well developed and satisfyingly synchronized amongst all their characters - thanks
I watched the animated series every Saturday morning, ever since it premiered in 1992. I never missed an episode, and it got me into comic book stores. When this movie came out in the summer of 2000, I remember my friends and I were so excited. I remember it reminded me of the excitement I had at the age of five, just before going in to see Batman in the theater in 1989. Walking into the theater, I thought to myself, "I'm actually about to see an X-men movie." These movies didn't come out as frequently back then as they do now, so as a fan, this wasn't just a movie. For me and my friends, it was an event.
I love the implications that because Jean used cerebro when she wasn't ready she inadvertently opened the door to her full powers which get fully unlocked in X3.
Absolutely. As well as the machine triggering mutations. For humans, it tends to be a detriment no matter what, as they discuss in the film. For mutants, it unlocks something even further. For Rogue, it turned her hair white. For Jean, it unlocks what we come to realize later.. it was even a conscious effort to zoom in on Jean's face at the statue of Liberty at the end. Hinting at that something is not quite right.. alot of people miss that small detail. But they meant it
Thanks for doing this. I was going to do a rewatch myself but have seen these movies so many times it's much preferable to watch with you guys. I still think that the 1st scene of this movie is the best scene in any of the Fox X-men.
Here’s a cool little Easter egg the truck driver that dropped off rogue in Alaska at Laughlin city is the guy who played beast in the original X-Men cartoon and now X-Men 97

The same badass Aussie has portrayed the badass Canadian for 24 years in 10 movies.

"You know it, Bub." 💪
Wolverine is actually a good representation of the Canadian mind during war.
He's so badass 😭
Pryde of the X-Men would be proud...
I love how Tara honestly reacts to mystique shape shifting every time. This movie was made for fans like her. Can't wait for the rest of the series!

Kevin Feige was an Associate Producer for this movie. He would tuft up Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine hair in between takes, to make sure it was more pointy 😂😂
The kitty cat ears are iconic!
And He gave Him Comic Books which Bryan Singer Banned from The Set so He Could actually learn about The Source Material. A True Legend.
I always like the little detail that Magneto seems to be the only one that can sense when Charles is reading his mind. Somehow he can just feel it.
He controls electromagnetics, which our brains have a form of when our neurons and synapses fire off while thinking. He can probably feel some distortion when the professor reads his mind.
Or they were just good enough friends that he knew when Charles got quiet that meant he was reading a mind or minds, and he was trying to figure out Magneto’s plan in hopes of thwarting it before it happened.

Wow!!! I had no idea!
"You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning?"
"It croaks"...

1987 Avengers vs. X-Men and 1993 X-Men: Fatal Attractions beg to differ, but hey.
Fun fact. The trucker that dropped Rogue off outside the bar was played by George Buza, the voice actor of Beast in the '92-'97 X-Men animated series.
@@jorgecaballero6215 Thank you for keeping the record straight, it's kind worrying how easily misinformation spreads
Fun fact
You’re wrong
The truck driver that dropped off Rogue does Beasts Voice in XMen 97. His name is George Buza

Glad they pick Hugh Jackman for the roll.
wow I bet no one knew that! Or it was mentioned in the video....
I remember X-Men forums at the time saying 'who tf is this Jackman guy?' - he's never gonna be Wolverine. lol - 25yrs later..
So many today don’t know just how unknown Jackman was at the time.
Ke Huy Quan was the fight coordinator for this movie! Getting roles was pretty difficult at this time. So using his martial arts background helped him out to at least get behind the scenes work in Hollywood.
happy 24th anniversary to this movie, warning no spoilers for “deadpool and wolverine”
Actually 25 Years, because of their pre-production date.
Anyone else rewatching in prep for D&W? I am LFG!!!!!! Fun fact: the truck driver who drives rogue at the start of the film voices beast in the animated series.. andrew how did you miss that!! 😂
I didn’t know that.
A Wolverine is not a wolf. It’s a small aggressive mammal similar to a Tasmanian devil but not related.

The only movie Jackman wasn't in shape for😂 "he's got like 36 abs" just wait honey

Whos is your IDEAL X-Men Team???
Wolverine, Storm, Jean, Rogue, Iceman, Colossus, Kitty, Nightcrawler, Angel, and Beast.
With Professor X as their leader, of course
TAS/97
Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Jean, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Gambit and Iceman.
Wolverine, storm, cyclopse, Jean, gambit, rogue, beast, nightcrawler, ice man and of professor X
Any team that involves Wolverine is my ideal team
Just for clarity, Wolverine aren’t wolves they look like big badgers but are more closely related to weasel’s. So, they’re actually more like big, mean, weasel’s.

This was a really fun reaction. Haven’t seen this movie in ages. Looking forward to the rest of the journey.
Goodness, I was so young when I first watched this. It was great to get to revisit it with you guys. It's still great after all these years💙💙💙
So many seam to miss that Magneto tries to change the worlds' leader to mutants so they will be changing the laws in their country to their advantage. And so to the positive for the mutant.
Don't forget that this movie has a young associate producer named Kevin Feige to thank for insisting they gave Logan the comic's accurate hair.

So he was the sanest person before that?
Rogue is Anna Paquin lol
Agree on the Rogue music cue, it's amazing :)
Magneto’s power is mastery over electromagnetic fields and not just controlling metal. Definitely looking forward to the sequel!
24:37 That's not movie magic there. It's actually Aaron Ashmore, the identical twin brother of the actor who plays Bobby, Shawn Ashmore.
The girl that plays mystique is Rebecca Romijn
I’ve watched each Wolverine movie at least more than 17 times…and I won’t ever get tired of it, looking forward to more uploads 🥰
15:01 - in the movie they had Anna act the character of Jubilee, with Rogue's ability (and curse) but without her strength (that Rogue acquired later on in life).
I’ve seen the other X-MEN movies multiple times(some less than others). But I’ve never watched this once until 2020 which is crazy.

And in this opening we establish EVERYTHING we need to know about Magneto, and why he does what he does. Some of the most concise and moving storytelling in cinema.
Minus Storm, Toad, and Sabertooth's lack of character depth, Cyclops egregious boy scout mentality, some dated visuals, and the fear to where classic costumes, this movie still holds up as an adaptation and introduction to the X-Men.
I like how this franchise realistically portrays how ordinary people would likely freak out about others with supernatural powers.
Loved the bad boys duo reactions i’m in for whatever🙏 Plus cant wait for 4 Best one i get all the hype now
I’m a huge x - men nerd and Logan wolverine is my all time favorite superhero on X-MEN aka DEADPOOL and WOLVERINE was everything I wanted and more as a comic nerd and superhero fan I felt like a kid again watching it in in theaters
So nice to revisit where it all began. And especially to see how Hugh Jackman simply IS wolverine, from the first second on. So stoked for Deadpool vs Wolverine :D
Hi! I'm from future and I wanna say that Tara will be singing the 20th Century Fox intro every time in these movie series and it's gonna be iconic! no complaining!
On a different note I hope u guys will let Tara enjoy the films before educating her what's the lacking based on comics.
Cant remember about the movies but magneto can control magnetism in general, so he just kinda bends any magnetic pull to his will, thats why he can fly.
Thanks!
UA-cam is very bad with notifications. Didn’t even know you guys posted this until I saw the X-2 reaction on my homepage. Glad to watch now though
I love how they recreated the opening scene from this in Xmen First Class and it works just as well in that movie too
How Ironic that Bobby the Iceman from X-Men became the Lamplighter in The Boys
Okay at this point I’m just instantly clicking on anything that Tara is part of because I absolutely *love* her commentary regardless of what movie it is. Tara you rock!
25:56 "And he's a wolf" 42:56 Does she really think that a wolverine is the same thing as a wolf? 🤣😂
Magmatamus ?!?!
😅😅😅😅 omg Tara thats hilarious, i love u.
I wonder how the die hard Xmen fans feel hearing that tho lol
34:32 Freddy entering Logan’s dreams ends up being terrified himself . Then Logan turns the corner and is just like “ I’m not locked in here with you bub, you’re locked in here with me !!”
Magneto had metal in his boots/shoes…..the scene where he rips the train apart to get Rogue, as he lands they show a close up of the boots.
Tara...is he like Gumbo?...ummm...ya mean Gumby? Lmao. Love you guys
Tara’s like a little baby watching marvel it’s adorable!😂😉
Dramatic watcher
Yea idk 24 years amd u haven't seen xmen. Gotta be cap @teenflash19
@@teenflash19 it's adorable.
At the time, X-Men was the no.1 superhero team/comic book series by Marvel.
But the success would 'evolve' even further with becoming Marvel's 2nd franchise on film.
The original longest running, shared universe with it's first major, superhero team.
Although they were around for over 30 years at this point, their meteoric rise through multimedia made them unstoppable (animated series, toys video games, etc).
From their further rising, came this 'ultimate' first installment.
Hyper-realistic with social commentary and a few other things in between without being a overly 'comic-book' movie.
The late Richard Donner and his wife, Lauren-Shuler Donner were executive producers (The Donners' Company) of the film series.
Great cast, good writing, bold direction and treatment of the characters.
Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hugh Jackman (his film debut) as Wolverine would become seminal to this saga.
Over 20 years on film and most of it succeeded more than failed.
If you wish to journey onward, prepare for a real evolution.
11:56 I didn't know that the Toad actor was Darth Mau! Thanks Andrew! 25:17 Anna Paquin is Rogue. Second youngest Oscar winner for The Piano when she was 11. 34:00 If Magneto believed in it so strongly he would've sacrificed himself rather than choose an innocent that didn't support his cause and sacrifice her.
Hmmm actually the red riding hood is not far off, as Anna paquin dressed up like red riding hood in Trick R Treat 😜
27:29 in the comics magneto pulled all the adamantium off his skeleton which actually made him stronger because it was like a limiter for his animalistic senses so he basically became a beast
This movie was awesome to me - I read lots of marvel comics and their story lines were epic; well developed and satisfyingly synchronized amongst all their characters - thanks
I watched the animated series every Saturday morning, ever since it premiered in 1992. I never missed an episode, and it got me into comic book stores. When this movie came out in the summer of 2000, I remember my friends and I were so excited. I remember it reminded me of the excitement I had at the age of five, just before going in to see Batman in the theater in 1989. Walking into the theater, I thought to myself, "I'm actually about to see an X-men movie." These movies didn't come out as frequently back then as they do now, so as a fan, this wasn't just a movie. For me and my friends, it was an event.
I love the implications that because Jean used cerebro when she wasn't ready she inadvertently opened the door to her full powers which get fully unlocked in X3.
Absolutely. As well as the machine triggering mutations. For humans, it tends to be a detriment no matter what, as they discuss in the film. For mutants, it unlocks something even further. For Rogue, it turned her hair white. For Jean, it unlocks what we come to realize later.. it was even a conscious effort to zoom in on Jean's face at the statue of Liberty at the end. Hinting at that something is not quite right.. alot of people miss that small detail. But they meant it
Thanks for doing this. I was going to do a rewatch myself but have seen these movies so many times it's much preferable to watch with you guys.
I still think that the 1st scene of this movie is the best scene in any of the Fox X-men.
Jeez, Logan wastes NO time. “Where’s YOUR room?”
28:20 Wanda did this exact same thing in Wanda vision like father like daughter.
Here’s a cool little Easter egg the truck driver that dropped off rogue in Alaska at Laughlin city is the guy who played beast in the original X-Men cartoon and now X-Men 97
THIS MOVIE IS 24 YEARS OLD... WTF IM OLD
X2 came out when i was in 7th grade.....
I was in my 20's when it came out 😅
I was only 10
27:52 i was there when they where filming this scene..it was amazing standing in the background watching it
Tara would love the 97 X-Men show because that is what you called peak animated TV series.
Yasss! Tara and Andrew diving into the X-Men universe ❤
Out of Context Tara quotes: Magneto is the guys with the balls!
🤣
