Deleted line(s) 1 (click to see context) :
* NakedOnArrival from a bleak future dominated by a RobotWar, the time-shifted Wolverine demands a goon hand over his clothes and vehicle. Hello there, ''Film/{{Terminator 2|JudgmentDay}}''! Although in this case, it wasn't the time-traveler who was naked, but the past version of his body he was jumping ''into'' that happened to be naked at the time.
Deleted line(s) 5 (click to see context) :
* The Sentinels from the BadFuture act like more aerodynamic versions of the [[Film/{{Thor}} Asgardians' Destroyer]].
Deleted line(s) 7,9 (click to see context) :
* Charles' introduction, featuring a pull-back from Patrick Stewart's eye that flies the camera through the guts of the X-Men jet, is almost certainly a shout-out to the opening shot of ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''. The jet's toroidal reactor even has the exact same shape as the interior of the Borg Cube.
* Villain planning to stop humanity's wars by uniting them against an enemy that isn't actually an enemy? [[Film/{{Watchmen}} Where have we seen that before?]] Bonus points for Nixon being the President in both cases.
* The ending is reminiscent of the end of ''Film/BackToTheFuture Part One''. [[spoiler:In both films, the protagonist wakes up in his room in a happier altered future, is initially confused by his surroundings, and is specifically asked by another character "Is everything alright?"]]

Deleted line(s) 11 (click to see context) :
* Blink's use of portals (port Colossus high into the air, then catch him with a portal flat on the ground that translates his downward velocity into horizontal movement via an upright standing portal and slams him into a sentinel) will be very familiar to anyone who ever played a certain game about [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} apertures]].

* 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.
