X-Men mentioned in movies

[Nobbel]

I remember that in some movies the X-men are mentioned like in the last kiss goodnight Geena Davis days to her daughter come on you're an x-men.
Do you know any other mentioning in other movies?

[jam37wcc]

Not really a mention but in an episode of Wings, Brian was dating and she had a son, who Brian really liked and wanted to be a father to him. Anyway the kid had some comics and one of them was an X-Men comic, if I remember correctly it was a Fatal Attractions issue.

[streator]

i remember corey feldman and the other kid working in a comic store in "lost boys". various issues were shown/mentioned, but i can't remember which ones. i also remember an episode of either "r.l. stein's goosebumps" or "are you afraid of the dark?" where a kid would draw comics and ended up becoming some superhero (he had a purpe costume, and some lame name like ______-man). i know various issues were shown in the shop, and if i remember correctly there was a wolverine lifesize cardboard-thing.

There was a movie about a group of friends that grew up with each other and they were all scifi/ comic book fans. They idolized William shatner and the original star trek shows. One of the friends meets this girl in a comic book shop and as he is trying to get her number, she buys a x-men backup issue #266 (Cover with Gambit and child Storm). The movie had a ton of comic, toyand Scifi references galor. The movie starred the actor from Will and Grace, and comedian Phil Lemar from Mad TV.

There's always Comic Book: The Movie, which actually filmed at ComicCon

[Shadow Crawler]

There was an episode of Boy Meets World where Cory had an issue of X-Men in class. The teacher took it and told the class to read Grapes of Wrath and that issue of X-Men. Man I love that show.

Free Enterprise. :)

There's also mention of X-Men comics in some of the movies of the guy who did that comic book movie, which includes Mallrats.

#1 best reference to X-comix in a movie/TV show of all time:

Beavis & Butthead spray-painting "X-Force Rules!" on the side of a house.

(This was back in the Liefeld days.)

[Jottma]

I remember that episode of Boy Meets World. It truly was a great show to grow up with. The teachers name was Mr. Turner but I can't remember if Shawn was living with him at that point of the series.


An interesting bit of trivia, the actor who played Cory's brother was the voice for the characters of the future Batman in Batman Beyond and Ron Stoppable of the Kim Possible series.

Shadow Crawler is the image in your avatar of a guy who works on the network G4 TV?

Yeah, Shawn was still living with Turner at the point in the series. That was one of my favorite episodes.

And yeah, it's Johnny Xtreme, the guy that works with G4.

I remember one time Beavis And Butthead were watching this video, And Butthead said someone looked like Wolverine and Beavis said "That's not Wolverine" and kept going on about how that it was not Wolverine until Butthead told him to shut up. :D

Once or twice there was a Saturday Night Live sketch set in a comic store. I remember trying very hard to see how many of the issues on the stand I recognized or owned. Unfortunately, because I was preoccupied with the details of the set, I have no memory of what the skit was about or who was in it. :o

[milhouse123321]

There was a movie I saw called Comic Book Villians and it was set in a comic book shop, with a group of people lying, cheating and stealing to own a collection or rare comic books in prestine format, including ASM #1.
Good movie.

[MrBiggs7]

There's probably an X-Men reference in every Kevin Smith movie. The most memorable is the one in Mallrats.

Brodie: Should I call you "Logan," Weapon X?

Jay: No, "Wolverine ! Snicktey-snicktey-snoime !

Brodie: He's imitating Wolverine's berserker attack with his adamantium
claws.

TS: I never would've guessed.

[mattbib]

I was just watching Mr. Mom and there's a scene in which a cable-woman is fixing the TV and when she finally fixes it it shows a scene from the X-Men/Juggernaut episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. You can see Wolverine, Cyclops, part of Storm, and the back of Firestar.

[Colossusfan]

In 25th Hour, Edward Norton says he wishes he could walk through walls like Shadowcat of the X-Men.

[Dazzler]

Not really a MOVIE, per se...but just about every episode of Queer as Folk had some issue of X-Men in the background, characters mentioned, or something of the sort. THe character Michael owns a comic book store, ya see.... ;)

[Evilempire22]

In that new show Heroes on NBC, the character Hiro credits Kitty Pryde in X-Men #143 for his understanding of quantum physics.

[MakeMineMarvel]

There was a movie back in the 80'w with Fisher Stevens. He plays a high school kid and him and his buddy somehow travel through time or something like that. All I remember is that he was reading an issue of Uncanny in class. My Science Project is the name I think.

Also, not movies but Weezer mentions X-Men, "I've got Kitty Pryde/and Nightcrawler too" in the song "In the Garage" from their self-titled blue CD.

There was an episode of Boy Meets World where Cory had an issue of X-Men in class. The teacher took it and told the class to read Grapes of Wrath and that issue of X-Men. Man I love that show.
There was also an episode where Topanga, Corey and Shawn were on some quiz show for smart kids but they were getting easy questions because they were popular with the audience. I think there was an entire round devoted to X-men questions.

My brain isn't what it used to be (working) so I may have remembered that wrong.

[fishtaco]

Wolverine was referenced in Click.

Oddly enough, I think I could probably recite that scene word for word. I have no idea why. The question was "What does the X stand for in X-Men?" and they mentioned the X-gene and Xavier, though being the total geek I am I can't help but point out that they missed the fact that mutants are supposed to have an eXtra ability.

[Mikl C]

The Oc has made numerous X-Men references. That's tv.

[Dizzy D]

Not a movie, but in the tv-series Scrubs, Dr. Cox lists the things he hates, finishing with Hugh Jackman, which prompts the reaction from JD: "Hugh Jackman is Wolverine. How *dare* he?"

[Sabre]

My sister and mother were watching TV while I was eating (in other words, I wasn't watching, but could hear it), and I think the show was called 'Cupid'. Anyway, somebody talks about a geek character leaving town quickly, and mentions the only things found in their apartment were a laptop "and a copy of Wolverine versus Sabretooth". I hadn't really been paying attention, but cracked up when I heard that.

[Asian Knight]

Don't know if this was mentioned. But i remember a episode of "Boy Meets World" where they were trying to create a trivia challenge. It was Cory, Topanga and Shawn.

One of the questions was, "What does the X stand for in X-Men?" The nerds got it wrong and I think it was Cory that got it right. As he stated something like this. "The X in X-Men stands for Extra, not the X for Xavier."

Yeah, your right I think. All I remember is the question "What does the X stand for in X-Men". I forgot if it was Cory or Shawn who answered the question correctly. As I think the nerds stated something about the "X" standing for its leader Xavier.

[Omega Alpha]

A Wolverine comic appears on The Departed.

Cupid, wasn't that a short lived Jeremy Piven show?

[Kirayoshi]

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, during the Evil Willow arc, Xander compared Willow to Dark Phoenix.

[melodyrider]

In Flushed Away, Roddy (voiced by Hugh Jackman) briefly contemplates wearing a Wolverine costume while planning his outfit.

[TimGunn]

in the movie Ice Storm Elijah Woods talks about the Fantastic 4

i think it was glenn danzig.
there also was this rumor that danzig was keen on playing wolverine in an x-men movie

[Jadeskies]

In "Flushed Away" which stars Hugh Jackman as the voice of the main character there is an x-men mention to those in the know.

He is a mouse from the upper end of england and belongs to a rich girl. She goes on vacation and he gets out of his gold cage to have a night out on the town with some of the girls barbies and the widescreen plasma television. He ransacks the closet for clothes (Tossing many costumes from wallace and gromit aside) and he pulls out a nice dinner suit and a familiar yellow costume with blue stripes (Wolverines yellow and blue costume.). He then puts each suit up to his body to look in a mirror and each time he poses with the dinner suit he makes a refined noise and expression and every time he poses with the wolverine costume he makes growling noises with a mean face.

Very funny to adults.

[gstibor]

I am pretty sure Venture Bros has something with the x-men in it, I just can't think of anything right now.

and of course, closer in relative size to the real Wolverine than Jackman...
