10:30-10:31 / 10:34-10:46

Before Kitty starts talking, the Rogue Cut shows the picture wall one more time. A candle is lighted by Warpath.

In the Theatrical Version, the following shot of Kitty starts a few frames earlier because in the Rogue Cut, her comment begins during the last second of the extended scene - no screenshots and not considered as alternate footage.

Wolverine's objection to a faster healing process causes a discussion in the Rogue Cut.

Bishop: "It's a risk."
Wolverine: "Yeah, I'm getting that."
Bishop: "Not just for you. You do this, you change history."
Wolverine: "Well, that's kind of the point."
Bishop: "Some of us could be killed. Some of us may never be born. We have no idea how things may change."
Blink: "We could keep going. Keep fighting."
Storm: "Until what? You've got a decision to make. You can keep sending Bishop back in time over and over again to warn you, until one day, he doesn't make it, and you all die. Or you can give up this life. So that they and everyone else who died in this war can actually have a future."
Sunspot: "You're asking us to sacrifice our lives for a future we might not even be a part of."
Magneto: "Yes."
Professor X: "A second chance. A better chance for everyone."
Bishop: "My people need to vote."
Professor X: "They just did. They're in."

The Theatrical Version contains a few reaction shots without any dialog instead.

Additional dialog between Kitty and Iceman in the Rogue Cut in which they also kiss.

Iceman: "Are you sure about this? It's not just his power that'll be tested. I've seen what this can do to you."
Kitty: "I can handle this. Trust me."
Iceman: "I guess I'll see you in the next life."

The Theatrical Version shows Wolverine and Professor X instead. Moreover, the following shot of Kitty starts a bit earlier resp. she elaborates almost entirely on-screen.

19:43-19:44 / 21:26-21:28

Right before Wolverine attacks, the Rogue Cut contains a close-up of one of the bullets hitting the ground.

In the Theatrical Version, the previous shot of Wolverine and the following one of the confused-looking baddie are a few frames longer (no screenshots).

Rogue Cut 0.9 sec longer

19:45 / 21:29

The first 5 frames of the following shot of punching Wolverine are exclusively in the Rogue Cut.
Censorship because he slashes a baddie's throat with his claws?
The appropiate cutting throat noise however is NOT audible.

Only the Theatrical Version contains an intercut with a different angle of the following shot of the claw blow to the face. It is a continuous shot in the Rogue Cut.

19:50-19:53 / 21:35-21:40

In the Theatrical Version, the shot of Wolverine is interrupted by an intercut to the shooting baddie. Then Wolverine instantaneously turns to him.

In the Rogue Cut however, the shot of Wolverine is continuos and shorter at the end. Here, he first slashes someone's face with his claws. Then an alternate take of Wolverine getting shot by another bad guy.

Wolverine gets in the car to Gwen and kicks her out, then he drives off. At the same time, one can see the Twin Towers in the background.

Gwen: "Jimmy! What happened to Ramon? And why are you talking crazy talk?"
Wolverine: "Look, uh..."
Gwen: "Gwen."
Wolverine: "Gwen, you're gonna wanna lay low for a few days, all right? Starting now. Come on, out. Go."
Radio: "Today, the 18th MP Brigade is departing from Saigon, marking the last American troops to leave Vietnam. And effectively ending the war."

Professor X (resp. young Xavier) laughs a little and Beast reacts properly after Wolverine told them about his time travel experience.

5.5 sec

31:37 / 34:10-34:16

And again, Xavier (after a rather long shot of Wolverine) laughs more. He doubtingly says: "Could you give me that one more time, please?"
Wolverine: "You heard me."

6.2 sec

32:04 / 34:43-34:46

After a shot of Beast (resp. Young Hank McCoy), Xavier makes a reference to "X-Men: First Class": "Tall, angry fellow with the contentious hair."

According to the commentary, this has been removed from the Theatrical Version because it is nice reference to the changing shape within the X-Men series but it does not match the rather small appearance of Wolverine in the comics.

2.9 sec

35:57-36:01 / 38:39-38:50

The scene ends slightly different. Because of the additional dialog, Hank's phone book commentary (in both versions but with alternate footage) has a different impact in the Rogue Cut.

(Hank: "Is Cerebro out of the question?")
Wolverine: "If only you guys had Internet."
Hank: "What's 'Internet'? (We have a phone book.)"

Altered Audio Track

According to the commentary, the score has been intentionally changed. Actually, the suspenseful theme was supposed to become silent abruptly when the first Trask shows up. In the Theatrical Version however, the last chime is a brief moment to late. This has been corrected for the Rogue Cut.

In the Rogue Cut, entering Quicksilver's house is a little longer plus Wolverine has a conversation with Quicksilver's little sister.
Sister: "I'm a princess. What are you?"
Wolverine: "I'm the Wolverine. Where's your brother?"
Mother: "Go upstairs and bug your sister."
Sister: "But she bugs me!"

Nixon earlier. He comments the TV report with a straight "Fuck me!".
The commentary makes it very clear that this was removed in order to get the lower rating for the Theatrical Version.

In the Rogue Cut, Nixon also says "I don't care who you screw, as long as it's not me." at the end of the shot.
The Theatrical Version contains an additional shot of the TV instead.
