Scream 2 (1997) - 50 mistakes

Visible crew/equipment: If you look really close in the background as the killer throws Cici off the balcony, you can see someone sitting in a tree, wearing black, with a camera.

Revealing: Just before the cop gets impaled through the head by the pole, you can see that it is obviously a dummy.

Factual error: If the glass in the cop car is weak enough for the killer to smash it without hurting his hand, shouldn't it be weak enough to break when he throws the cop against another window hard enough to draw blood?

Revealing: When the killer attacks Sid's bodyguards, the younger one has blood on his throat before the killer slashes it.

Continuity: When Sidney and her friend get into the police car to be taken to protection, Sidney sits on the driver's side. When the car crashes, she is on the passenger side.

Revealing: In the opening scene when Phil gets stabbed in the head, watch carefully and you can see the retractable blade popping back out when he pulls his head away.

Continuity: When the Sheriff writes "Cici Cooper" on the chalkboard, between the closeup and wideshot of him writing, the handwriting and location of his writing dramatically changes, and the words "Maureen Evans" and "Phil Stevens" above, also change too.

Audio problem: When Dewey is being stabbed up against the soundproof glass, you see a shot of Gail shouting "No." You can see a reflection of the killer in the glass standing motionless, but you can hear Dewey being stabbed.

Revealing: When Cici is stabbed in the sorority house, her shirt is bloody, but there is not a hole in the material.

Continuity: When Gale kisses Dewey she has no more lipstick on her mouth, then in the next shot she has lipstick on.

Revealing: When Mickey is flying through the air after getting shot at the end of the movie, if you look closely you can see it's a stunt double.

Factual error: At the end of the film there is an LA county sticker on the ambulance, but the events are nowhere near LA.

Other: When the killer is stabbing Randy, you can see his reflection in the side mirrors. He stabs him many times. The same amount of blood is on the knife every time he lifts it up.

Continuity: In the opening scene - the premiere of Stab - when the girl is about to go back into the theater, you see the door into the theater. In the next clip, when she enters - the door is much wider.

Plot hole: It is highly unlikely that the murderer knew Phil was going to put his ear to the stall when he heard music. It is even more unlikely that the murderer is going to get him on the first stab.

Revealing: When Randy, Gail, Dewey and Joel are sitting on a bench in the school grounds, Gail is smoking; but no smoke comes out of her mouth when she takes a drag, nor does the cigarette have any smoke coming off it.

Continuity: When Sydney is about to get in the car with the policemen, she has a rather large noticeable blemish on her chin. In the following scenes, it is gone.

Continuity: When Cici is thrown from the balcony there is debris from the window all around her (glass & window pane fragments), but if you watch when she is thrown through the window in the first place, it is only a bit of debris went that far away, not nearly as much as it is shown around her.

Revealing: Towards the beginning, when Gail Weathers is talking to the sheriff who is standing at a podium, you see Mickey filming her with a hand-held camera. A panning shot going right following Mickey with some friends walking sideways reveals him looking at the camera twice. This is because he was waiting for his cue to stop.

Revealing: When Mickey draws the gun at the end of the movie, a hammer is heard being pulled back. Yet the gun that Mickey is using is hammerless.
