Nothing to do with the comics
The story hole was at the end, where Warren Worthington appears out of no place to grab his dad out of the air. Yes he can fly, but he can't fly coast to coast in a few hours.
The only way he could have managed it was stowing away on the plane when the X-Men flew out. But this isn't shown in the movie at all.

Ah - them pesky continuity flaws
Yeah, I noticed that.
Did you notice the one where it was a nice and bright day when they got on the bridge, but when they got off it was the darkest of nights.

There's another one
In the comics, Juggernaut gets his power from a mystic jewel, not a mutation.
Therefore, Leech's powers shouldn't have any effect on him.
In any event, Vinnie Jones did a good job with the character and I enjoyed the chase with Kitty Pryde.

That is more of a story revision
I mentioned that above in my review, but that really didn't bother me. Like Deathstrike in the second movie, they have simplified everything. And unless they where going to make a Juggernaut movie, trying to go into the differences of his background would be pointless.
I did like the Juggernaut of movie, it captures his personality at it's worst pretty well. And they did as well with his apperance as they could short of animating the character.

Just saw X2 on TV over the weekend
I don't remember a Deathstrike character. Did they not stress the name, or was he maybe edited out?

I don't think they mentioned her name
I don't think they mentioned her name at all, but the female with claws that Wolverine fought near the end was clearly modeled after the Deathstrike from the comic book. The comic book Deathstrike didn't get her claws the same way the Wolverine did, but she was Japanese, has huge cybernetic claws, a similar fighting style, and has been a foe of Wolverine for some time.
X3 was actually worse in that regards, all of the mutants that Magneto recruits in the movie are based on regular characters. But their characters and powers where so modified that I didn't recognize most of them.

Deathstrike
She was the lady who got the adamantium enema.

I've got another oddity (spoiler)
I enjoyed the movie...usually a 3rd in a series is simply terrible (batman anyone)...but with the ground littered with "cure"...why was wolverine forced to kill at the end????
So, while I enjoyed it...and the ending didn't really bother me that much...we had one love interested "saved" by the cure and one other ended like it didn't exist.

Re: I've got another oddity (spoiler)
I can thing of two rationalizations for that. First, and more plausibly, Wolverine may have thought that stopping and grabbing any more right in front of Pheonix would have been suicide. She had just killed most if not all of a large group of soldiers that had tried to use the drug on her. Secondly, he might have considered killing her to be more merciful.
