Mistakes

When Virginia Madsen goes to the bathroom in her apartment and opens the medicine cabinet. At this point Candyman's arm comes through the medicine cabinet but it only breaks through the upper part of the cabinet, leaving the lower part intact. The angle then changes to a side view to show his arm reaching straight out at her. The arm does not move downwards but in the next shot, as she turns to escape, the whole cabinet is broken through.

When Candyman first meets Virginia Madsen in the parking garage, he is giving a large amount of dialogue, however if you look closely, his mouth is not moving until he steps in the light. [That's because he is a paranormal being; he has a certain degree of telepathic powers, and his voiceover is heard for the sake of the audience. ]

In the scene where Dr. Burke is with Helen, you'll see that he isn't saying anything right before he's killed because he, obviously, is holding the fake blood in his mouth, waiting to spit it out when he gets killed. [Choosing not to speak for a little while is a character decision, and not a movie mistake. Helen has just done something very unexpected (calling for a folkloric figure), and the doctor is not quite sure what to make of it, so he keeps silent for a while.]

The music in this film is composed by Phillip Glass. During some of the eerie parts, the music sounds strangely familiar to another Phillip Glass composition, "The Truman Show." [A composer recycling some of his earlier work is a common event. Not really trivia.]

When Candyman is in Helen's house, he digs his hook into Helen's neck obviously hitting her carotid artery. She would've either bled to death or caught a huge infection because when the cops arrived, they didn't even treat the deep wound. However, one month later, the huge wound is gone, not even with the trace of a scar. Definitely impossible. [No more impossible than a flying psychopathic reincarnated ghost of a slave come back to a world where only Helen can see him to exact his revenge on innocent victims. Incidents involving Candyman all have some sort of paranormal type activity to them, just like him not appearing in the hospital video of Helen's room.]
Edit
When Virginia Madsen is reviewing her second set of slides from the Cabrini-Green she zooms in on a picture which shows the reflection of the Candyman. She does this by adjusting the focus on the lens of the slide projector. The focus on the lens of the projector would not provide zoom capability. [She only brings the picture into focus to see the image. The zoom is not her doing it, but rather the film's camera zooming in to give the viewer a closer look at what she saw behind her in the slide.]

In the flashback scene when the little boy is getting murdered in the public bathroom, you'll notice that while he's lying on the bathroom floor screaming his head off, his mouth is actually completely shut. [The scream is coming from the person (or people) who found him, not the boy himself.]
Edit
If Purcell knew all about Candyman, that he even wrote a book about him, why didn't he tell Helen about saying his name in the mirror and what would happen? Why didn't he come to her aid when all the weird things started happening to her? He should've known all about that. [Helen heard about what would happen if the Candymans name was said in front of a mirror from someone else. Purcell wouldn't have been able to help Helen because to Purcell it's only a story and could never happen. Even when Helen tried to tell other people about the Candyman actually existing they all thought that she was crazy. Purcell would be no exception.]
