Wary of the risk of starting an expensive franchise that could have died after just one film, Fox's studio executives assigned the film a budget of only $75 million, quite low for a big summer tent-pole release, when the average summer blockbuster budget at the time was upwards of $100 million.
Movie Goof (continuity error): After the bar fight, Logan drives off; as he stops, the tires leave snow tracks. As he starts up again, and before the snow could have buried them, they disappear.
The character Kitty Pryde (the girl who walks through the wall) was originally named after a real-life girl X-Men artist John Byrne (VI) knew in Calgary, Canada. When the movie was released there, local media managed to track down the "real" Kitty Pryde.
Bryan Singer wrote the duologue between Wolverine and Cyclops when Cyclops refers to 'yellow spandex' specifically to have a dig at fans on the Internet who complained about the X-Men's costumes.
