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)
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 🙌
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!! 😂
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.
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.
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!!
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!"
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!
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.
@@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!?!”
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!
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
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.. 😂😂
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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!)
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.
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
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.
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!
You’re not being honest if you always feel the need to say the word “honestly.” How about saying what you wanna say without including the word “honestly “ for the rest of 2024 and if you can’t that means you’re a liar as a person in general
honestly, only dorks with Assburger's or useless trivia-related OCD give a shit if the guy who played the janitor also appeared in Dexter & Saved By the Bell.
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.
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).
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!!
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
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.
Magneto has metal in his boots, belt and often buckles (I'd assume) giving him points of lift with his ability. Not that he's close to metal so he can fly but that his clothes have enough metal to carry him
It's great to be back at this time before Deadpool and Wolverine premiere. I fondly remember what it was and the impact that Hugh Jackman's illusion had on the X-Men movies and the world of mutants in general!!!
Man Im old, you were in 6th grade when this came out lol...Please watch the rest, great reaction! You can tell Patrick Stewart and Ian are really good friends, it comes across the camera so naturally
I’m jealous of Tara.. wish I could watch this for the first time again.. been waiting since this movie for the yellow suit though, so excited for Deadpool and Wolverine!!!!
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

Wolverine is actually a good representation of the Canadian mind during war.

Love the use of the word smarmy here. 10 points to Ravenclaw. 👌🏻
They’re best friends in real life.

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!
11:06 is the best part lol
“Can they control snow*gasp*IS THAT HALLE BERRY?!”
“It is 😏”
“OH MY GOWD”
"You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning?"
"It croaks"...
Still such a cringey line. I hope MCU storm says it again LOL
100x better than the actual line. 👏
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.

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

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.
A Wolverine is not a wolf. It’s a small aggressive mammal similar to a Tasmanian devil but not related.
On the other hand Tara is not wrong about Rogues "Little Red Riding Hood" vibes
The truck driver that dropped off Rogue does Beasts Voice in XMen 97. His name is George Buza
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.
Tara 100% made this reaction worth while 😂 i’ve seen this film probably 15 times or so but this was by far the most fun i’ve had with it 😂
happy 24th anniversary to this movie, warning no spoilers for “deadpool and wolverine”
Actually 25 Years, because of their pre-production date.
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.

I thought a Tara was calling Rogue "Little Red Riding Hood" because she recognized her from 'Trick 'r Treat'... wishful thinking 🤣
Rogue: always having trouble with seatbelts. In this one she can’t get it off. In X2, she couldn’t get it on in the plane lol
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!"
Then you’ll be really surprised to know that Tara refers to him as Patty in person 😝
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.
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!

The only movie Jackman wasn't in shape for😂 "he's got like 36 abs" just wait honey
I have to say that it's my belief that the shape he got in for "The Wolverine" is the ultimate form of male fitness. Personal opinion.
He was in shape 😅

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.

One of the most gruesome comics was when Magneto ripped all the adamantium from Logans entire skeleton.

"Toad has a wicked tongue senator, just like you"
Magneto chill 😏😂
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.
Rogue is Anna Paquin lol
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
A wolf and a wolverine are two different animals.
Magneto’s power is mastery over electromagnetic fields and not just controlling metal. Definitely looking forward to the sequel!
Before the MCU ever existed, this movie started it all.
"Introducing it too you". Aka turning you into another X-Men addict. One of us! Mutant and proud!
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

I still think that the 1st scene of this movie is the best scene in any of the Fox X-men.
I love how they recreated the opening scene from this in Xmen First Class and it works just as well in that movie 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.

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.
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 🥰
"He only used 2 fingers." Holds up index and middle finger. Me using all of my willpower, trying not to be immature.
I always forget that David Hayter (Solid Snake VA) helped make this movie. Dudes a legend
He also plays the cop that checks on Mystique’s “dead” body at the end of the movie.
Screenwriter on both X1 and X2.
Honestly, Andrew should start a channel where he watches a movie, but just gives us facts about it as he watches. I'd watch every video!
You’re not being honest if you always feel the need to say the word “honestly.” How about saying what you wanna say without including the word “honestly “ for the rest of 2024 and if you can’t that means you’re a liar as a person in general

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!!
Hope they go through the whole series, I need Tara’s reaction to all of the X-men
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
Someone please make sure that Tara knows that Cyclops's eye beams are kinetic, not heat - his eyes are portals to the punch dimension!
Oh man, Tara is in for a whole ride!!
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.
Tara would love the 97 X-Men show because that is what you called peak animated TV series.
Magneto has metal in his boots, belt and often buckles (I'd assume) giving him points of lift with his ability. Not that he's close to metal so he can fly but that his clothes have enough metal to carry him
Believe he manipulates Earth's magnetic fields to propel himself.
It's great to be back at this time before Deadpool and Wolverine premiere. I fondly remember what it was and the impact that Hugh Jackman's illusion had on the X-Men movies and the world of mutants in general!!!
Man Im old, you were in 6th grade when this came out lol...Please watch the rest, great reaction! You can tell Patrick Stewart and Ian are really good friends, it comes across the camera so naturally
Yasss! Tara and Andrew diving into the X-Men universe ❤
I’m jealous of Tara.. wish I could watch this for the first time again.. been waiting since this movie for the yellow suit though, so excited for Deadpool and Wolverine!!!!
TH-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
Out of Context Tara quotes: Magneto is the guys with the balls!
🤣
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.
Jeezuz man, Rebecca will always be the best Mistique!!!
Man, I saw this in the theater 3 times. I was a junior in high school.
Tara...is he like Gumbo?...ummm...ya mean Gumby? Lmao. Love you guys

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
