Similar to Magneto's and Rogue's background segments, scenes explaining Storm's and Cyclops' backgrounds were scripted and storyboarded, but never shot. Storm's background segment involved her changing the weather drastically in her hometown in Kenya and causing vast damage. Cyclops' story would show him manifesting his mutant power at school as a teenager, causing him to accidentally destroy a school bathroom. There was a brief talk of shooting these scenes while shooting X-Men 2 (2003) in order to insert them into the X-Men Special Edition DVD, but the idea was later scrapped. However, the bathroom set (which had actually been built) was used for the scene in X2 where Grace drugs the drunken guard. Scenes of Storm and Cyclops as children were eventually filmed for X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) (although Storm's were deleted from the final print), as well as short clips for X-Men: First Class (2011).

The last scenes to be shot were the ones where Senator Kelly emerges from water (in Santa Monica, California). They were shot in early May, and the film was released on the last days of July.

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.

When Magneto concedes that he has been checkmated and knocks the king over, a pawn that was in the previous view of the chessboard is missing but the knight still holds it to checkmate.

Mystique pushes Senator Kelly back after he yells, and when he lands against the seat we see her right foot wrap around the back of his head. In the next shot, her foot is just starting to move around to his head.

Q
How does the movie end?
A
Jean stabilizes Wolverine telekinetically, while Storm blows him to the top of Magneto's machine. Cyclops gets off a blast that knocks Magneto away from the machine, allowing Wolverine to rescue Rogue, who is near death. Holding Rogue near to him, Wolverine transfers his regenerative ability into her, bringing himself near death, too. He wakes up in Jean's laboratory, lying next to Professor Xavier, who has recovered from his coma. When Wolverine is fully recovered, he decides to relocate to an abandoned military compound near Alkali Lake in the Canadian Rockies in hopes of learning more about his past. Just before he leaves, a news broadcast shows what can only be Mystique impersonating Senator Kelly (Bruce Davison), who publicly announces withdrawal of his support for the Mutant Registration Act. In the final scene, Xavier is playing chess in Magneto's plastic prison cell. Magneto warns Xavier that the war is still coming and he intends to fight it. 'And I will always be there, old friend,' Xavier assures him.
