Hocus Pocus 2

Plot hole: The spell Magicae Maxima works, but it shouldn't have worked at all because there was one ingredient missing, the petrified spider.

Plot hole: The incantation for Magicae Maxima must be repeated 7 times without making a mistake, or they have to start over. Winnie says the spell wrong but the spell works anyways. The first time she says it (with Book), Winnie says "From North, the East, the South, the West," but the last time she says it (without Book), she says "From North, South, East and West" (not in the right order).

Visible crew/equipment: During the competition at the carnival, the original sisters lose, and the winners are celebrating. Bette Midler comes forward to interrupt their celebration. The shadow of the camera appears on her lower body.

Trivia: The first film was a huge disappointment at the box office and got mediocre reviews. However, it grew a massive following over the years thanks to positive word-of-mouth and yearly airings on TV around Halloween. To this day, its home-video and streaming sales have a huge spike almost every October. When star Bette Midler (who loved making the original) learned about its cult success, she began to pester Disney to make a sequel, and they finally greenlit it nearly 30 years later.
