Trivia

Just to alert those not in the know - if you were in the audience and were entirely confused when two characters dressed in black appeared, the tall skinny one says something to Gale, and half the people around you laughed, you clearly haven't watched enough good films. Those characters are Jay and Silent Bob from Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma - four fantastic films from Kevin Smith, who plays Silent Bob. Go and see them. Now. See more...

Continuity: When the killer throws Tyson off of the balcony, you can see the black fabric of the landing mat fly up after the stunt double lands on it.

Continuity: When the killer and Sydney are locked in the screen room together and the killer slits the movie producer's throat, if you watch closely when he's talking to Sydney and waving the knife around that in the first shot there's blood on the knife and then it goes to Sydney and back on the killer and when it cuts back there is no blood on the knife. It then again goes back to Sydney, then back to the killer and the blood has magically reappeared on the knife.

Continuity: In the scene where Gail and Dewey find the killer's voice changer, Gale's hands are clean, but when it shows her hands picking up the device, there's dried blood on them. But when it shows her hands again, the blood's gone.

Plot hole: How did Kincaid get a picture of Syd from the Delta Lambda Zeta party in part 2? No one took any pictures of her. Aside from that, anyone who's seen pictures of Neve Campbell online will know that that's a publicity shot from Scream 2 rather than something intended to be a "real" photo.

Continuity: When Sidney is fighting the killer, when ever a big stunt comes up, the killer's hair gets lighter.

Continuity: When Sidney is first going into the house for the end of the movie it is clear that she is not wearing the vest underneath her clothes and as she is walking around or when she is rolling on the ground fighting with her half brother you see her bellybutton but then she has the vest on and it goes over the belly button

Plot hole: It has already been mentioned that a certain shot reveals that Sydney isn't wearing the bullet-proof vest when she should be. Further to this, most of the shots in the climax sequence make it impossible for her to be wearing one, as you can see the contours of her chest throughout. A bullet-proof vest would flatten the appearance of this.

Continuity: At the start of the movie when Cotton's girlfriend is being stalked by the killer, he stabs his knife through her bedroom door making a few large holes, especially with the first stab mark. Later, when Cotton finally gets to the house and is lookng for his girlfriend, he goes up to her door and there are now far smaller holes in the door, all in a nice pattern. When he smashes through the door, from the other side we can see there's no damage at all, then when his girlfriend emerges the stab marks are back, but in a different configuration.

Continuity: The knife that was thrown at Dewey left the killers hand with blood all over the blade, but was perfectly clean when the butt of it hit his head to knock him out at the top of the stairs.

Continuity: When the bodyguard finds Gale eavesdropping on Dewey and Jennifer, they soon confront each other and Tom is sitting in a chair with his left hand on the arm rest. In the next shot Tom is smoking a half finished cigarette with his left hand, but he had no time to change the hand with the cigarette in it between shots.

Factual error: In the beginning of the movie, the killer calls Cotton on his cell phone. When the killer hangs up on him, you hear a dial tone. When someone cuts you off on a cell phone, you don't get a dial tone.
