When Cindy is in the bath and she starts to shave her face, she repeatedly shaves the long head hair which has fallen over her face, and yet it is obvious none of it comes away with the razor, indicating there isn't a blade in it at all. See more...

The title Scary Movie was the working title of Scream, a film that this film spoofs.
If you have the DVD version, then continue watching after the credits start rolling. You will see a little add on of Doofy "Getting off" with the vacuum cleaner.
In order to spoof Scream, the creators of Scary Movie asked Easter Unlimited Inc. (the company that makes the "Ghostface" masks) to make them three masks that have a slightly different design than the Scream version. The only time we see the Scream mask in this film is when Cindy continues to receive mysterious notes on her desk, and sees the killer just outside of her classroom window.
In the beginning of the movie, the girl is hit by a car which turns out to be driven by her father who seems quite busy. In the deleted scenes of the movie, the car that hits Cindy in the very end turns out to be driven by the same man, in the same way.
For all of you who have a DVD, zoom in on the scene at the beginning. You may have a surprise reading the warning...
The run-over-by-car scenes in the first movie's beginning and the second movie's end are borrowings from the movie version of Stephen King's "Thinner", in which the victimized lawyer was similarly distracted.
In the locker room scene, when the killer is attacking the cheerleader, look behind, near the stairs. The name of the school is written there. It's B.A. Corpse. Be a corpse.
When they go to the movies, at the previews screen, when it says IMMATURE, you see underneath it some words, the words say: "If you can read this you are too close: pee pee poopy boogers farts butthole, we thought this would be funny to put this in here, Kiss our a**es and take it off pause".
Director Keenan Ivory Wayans appears as the slave in the "Amastad II" preview at the movie theater.
The police office where Cindy is interrogated has a plaque outside which says "Estd. 2017"
In the scene where Cindy and Ray are talking in the cafeteria, there is a small sign right behind them that says in small letters "Same Old Shit".
