10 Tiny Annoying Details In Movies You Can't Unsee

In the very confusing cinematic universe surrounding the X-Men, James Mangold's 2013 release of The Wolverine stands as a direct sequel to X-Men: The Last Stand, as well as a partial continuity of the standalone X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The beginning of the film takes place in 1945, where Logan is being held as a prisoner of war near Nagasaki, Japan. After the atomic bomb is dropped on Nagasaki, Logan uses his invulnerability to shield an officer named Ichiro Yashida from the blast.

In the present day, Logan continues to reside in Japan, but after rejecting a chance to be relieved of his immortality by a dying Ichiro, Logan becomes embroiled in a fight against the Yakuza syndicate and the sinister Dr. Green over his abilities and the fate of Yashida Industries following Ichiro's death, which later transpired to have been faked.

Following the nuclear blast at the very beginning of the film, we see Logan in very gruesome shape: his hair and skin have been almost entirely burned off. Miraculously, though, Logan's trousers remain perfectly intact, with barely so much as singed hems. Why everyone is so insistent on stealing the adamantium in Logan's skeleton instead of harvesting whatever material these trousers are made of is beyond me.
