Trivia
When Mulder tries to call Scully from his cell phone, the display shows two names above hers and one name below. The two names above are Bowman and Gilligan, which can only be references to Rob Bowman (director of the first movie and several episodes) and Vince Gilligan (writer-producer of the show). The name below is Shiban, a reference to John Shiban (another writer-producer).

At the end of the scene where Scully is discussing the options for her patient with the hospital administrators, on the wall behind her are several photographs of priests. The last one is a photograph of actor Bruce Harwood who played John Fitzgerald Byers, one of the three Lone Gunmen from both The X-Files (1993) and its spin-off series, The Lone Gunmen (2001).

Goofs
When Dacyshyn and the surgeon speak Russian, they switch between the familiar you (ty) and formal you (vy). Russians would never do that.

When Mulder is following the pick up truck to the hide out he scrolls through his phone contacts and highlights what some viewers have claimed is the name 'Gillian', the first name of the actress who plays the character, Dana Scully. However, it actually says 'Gilligan'.

When Mulder finds the snowplow truck on the side of the road, and looks inside for the tire iron, the snowplow's roof lights are on. When Mulder walks away from the snowplow in the next shot, the roof lights are off.

Q
Will there be an extended / unrated version or director's cut on DVD?
A
Yes, the DVD / BLU-RAY release will include the "Director's Cut" of the film, which runs appr. 4 minutes longer. According to a statement David Duchovny gave in an interview it can be expected that this version will include some more graphic / disturbing scenes Chris Carter did not use in order to avoid an R-Rating. Both releases will also include additional deleted scenes as part of the bonus material. A detailed comparison between the theatrical version and the Director's Cut with pictures can be found here.
Q
Is there a scene during the credits ?
A
Yes, towards the end of the credits (about 5 minutes in, or 1 minute before the very end), the camera zooms over a tropical ocean, ending up over a small rowboat with Scully and Mulder aboard. They seem to be on vacation. As the camera pulls out, the two wave at the camera.
Q
What is this movie about?
A
Based on a long running science fiction TV drama, this movie follows two former FBI agents who used to work on the "X-Files", which were a series of cases involving the paranormal. They are asked to assist in a case involving a psychic in West Virginia.
