Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) flips and fights his way into the Oval Office.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
When a failed assassination attempt occurs on the President's (Cotter Smith) life by the teleporting mutant Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), it's Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his School for Gifted Youngsters who are targeted for the crime. While Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) and Storm (Halle Berry) try and locate the assassin, Cyclops (James Marsden) and Xavier (also known as 'Professor X') seek answers from their old foe Magneto (Ian McKellan) in his glass cell...Little do they know they're walking into a trap set by the villainous William Stryker (Brian Cox), a mysterious governmental figure that figures into Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) secretive past, along with information about the X-Men's operation, supplied by Magneto through a mind-controlling agent. Meanwhile Wolverine, just home from a failed mission to regain his memory, is in charge of the students when a crack-commando team led by Stryker infiltrates the school by order of the President. With a mansion full of young, powerful mutants and the ferocious Wolverine in babysitter mode, can he defend the school against the one man who can answer his questions? What roles do the sinister Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) and Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu) have in all of this? Why does Stryker want Professor X and his Cerebro machine? With the war between humanity and mutants escalating to extremes, can the rest of the X-Men trust their old foes to help them? Director Bryan Singer returns and raises the stakes in this sequel to the highly lauded 2000 adaptation of Marvel Comics' X-Men.

HIT US UP:

[gabrielcastillo]

1:29 I love how they respected the lore behind his powers. He opens the door before teleporting in because he needs to know what is behind the wall in order to teleport safely.

[charlesxavier]

This scene basically shows why Wolverine was impressed by Nightcrawlers combatant skills, Nightcrawler is against violence however he certainly has a talent for it.

[Zichfried]

This scene deserves the same attention Quicksilver scenes have.

[SunlightGwyn]

This scene was so well executed. I like how the agents were all communicating well and working together and they were still outmatched by a single mutant.

[douglassnyder]

I believe that Nightcrawler was the most underrated character in X2: X-Men United.

[christopherpadilla]

Fun fact: the residue left from Nightcrawer teleporting is actually the brimstone dimension but he never realizes he’s in there because he teleports in and out so quickly.

[siphonophores]

X2 really showed how scary and cool Nightcrawler's abilities are in just one scene and it was his introduction scene as well.

[trevoninlow]

I just realized that he didn’t kill a single person

[DARYDARKO]

He almost took out the president....solo

[Natedawg]

I love that throughout this whole scene, the secret service do not seem intimidated - especially those in the hall - and remain totally professional under the circumstances.

[Silencex]

What makes Nightcrawler special isnt just his teleporting, but his creative use of it.

Especially at 0:11 with how he used his teleporting to fool the agent that there were multiples of him.

[Puntobaby]

This has to be one of the most underrated action scenes ever. Singer will always have an unreal action scene in his movies.

[danxavier]

20 years later and this scene still holds up so fresh and good!

Props to the whole crew envolved!

[TZ]

Seeing this in the theater as a kid instantly made Nightcrawler my favorite X-Man.

[venomousnate]

This scene is without a doubt the best superhero intro to a superhero movie. This introduced me to Nightcrawler and he is still one of my favorite Marvel comic characters.

[gemreivews]

I got to give it up to Bryan. He can devise a memorable Xmen fight scene. Quick Silver also had a similar scene in days of future past.

[kylewright]

I saw this in theaters with my mom, brother, and step dad. When this scene came on everyone including my family were just blown away. Anytime I watch this movie that memory always comes back to me.

[BruceWayne-nfwo]

There has never been a better intro to a superhero character than this scene. Ever.

[Reminji]

I remember watching this scene over and over as a kid. So well made

[tobedean]

This scene has withstood the test of time. This is probably one of the best scenes in not only this film, but maybe all of comic films. Honestly, just give it a thought.
