X-Men: 15 Deleted Scenes Every Fan Needs To See

12. Professor X And Cyclops Escape From Jason

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPtp9FHT4Dw&index=3&list=PLwECeDzZVX2-RxBUG2kCihGbGpYxialzg Starting at 2.19 in the above video is a missing series of scenes that helps to clarify a slightly confusing part of X2 or X-Men United as it was horribly called Stateside. In the finished movie, Charles Xavier is left alone with the perception-controlling Jason, but when audiences next see Xavier he is blithely helping a little girl back in the mansion. Clearly, it's a hallucination - but why doesn't the Professor think anything's amiss with the sudden jump in locations? The answer was a cut sequence where the Professor tries to escape and is duped into thinking he succeeds. Along the way, he even believes he's busted Scott (Cyclops) out of his cell, too. This dream-like sequence arguably provides a better transition, easing both Professor X and the audience into the later parts featuring the illusory girl with the mismatched eyes. At the very least, Xavier doesn't seem as dumb anymore.
