Continuity mistake: When Donna puts her shirt on after messing with Jim, she doesn't put her bra on. After Michael kills her, her bra is back on.

Plot hole: Since this was to be the last Halloween movie, there is still a major plot hole with the way things went to make Halloween Resurrection. Yes, Michael switched outfits with the paramedic. In Resurrection, one of the nurses says, "Well, why didn't the paramedic say something?" She responds that his windpipe was crushed. Yes, this prevents him from speaking, but it doesn't prevent him from taking off the mask, proving it's not Michael.

Suggested correction: He was thrown through a windshield, hit by a van, and pinned between a tree and the same van. The fact that the mask was on his head might not registered right away. It's not surprising that it would never occur to him to take the mask off if he's groggy from the ordeal.

He was reaching for the mask, as if surprised he was wearing it, while pinned. I do understand your point, but I wonder why he didn't point to his face or at least try to remove it since he was obviously (in my opinion) aware of its presence at that point - and unable to speak due to his larynx being crushed. My biggest concern was that the authorities didn't remove the mask at the scene nor before loading him into the coroner van. Neither did Laurie/Kerri. Suspish.

H20 was meant to be the last film in the series and Michael was supposed to be killed off for good. The problem was created when they made the next film. So if anything, the mistake should have been included on that film's page, not on H20's.

Continuity mistake: In the first Halloween the kitchen of the Myers house is to the right of the back of the house, but in this one it's to the left.

Continuity mistake: The blonde girl has very thick black roots. She is decapitated. When Michael throws her head down the stairs, she is perfectly blonde, no black roots.

Revealing mistake: When Jen has her head cut off, the cord to the camera would be severed too, yet it is still broadcasting when her decapitated head is lying at the bottom of the stairs.

Continuity mistake: When Michael Myers is walking towards his sister's room at the mental ward, the camera shot is behind him, as he holds his knife by his side. The camera angle changes to his front, and now the blade is at his front.

Audio problem: When Harold is talking about Michael's past, his lips are not moving as he says that Michael killed three nurses and a paramedic.

Continuity mistake: When you see Sara driving up the school path on her moped you see a lonely girl sitting on a bench and when it changes to the next shot she is gone.

Continuity mistake: In the end, when Busta Rhymes is smashed into the wall, his dreads are really a mess. Next shot his dreads are neat. And the 3rd shot of Busta, his dreads are a mess again.

Plot hole: What exactly was Laurie Strode's plan in the teaser, when she strung Michael up over the edge of the roof. From the way she starts cutting the rope it looks like she plans to drop him, but she's seen him survive a 2-storey fall before, in the original Halloween, not to mention multiple stab wounds in H20. A fall off the roof into bushes would barely phase Michael.

Shay

Other mistake: This is a timing mistake. In the beginning of the movie, when Michael kills the first security guard, he stuffs his head in the washer. The second security guard was in the room within 30 seconds. There is no way that Michael had time to cut this guys head off, stuff it in the washing machine, turn it on, and hide before the second guard got there.

Plot hole: At the end of the movie, the fire department and paramedics arrive just after the house has been set on fire. Yet, as the focus shifts to the outside view, the house has burned all the way down (which takes a couple of hours) and the paramedics STILL have not gotten around to sending Sara and Freddy away for questioning or hospital or the like.

Twotall

Character mistake: When Harold is recalling Michael's 'credentials', he refers to Hilcrest academy, claiming that Michael killed four students. However, Michael only killed two; Sarah and Charlie.

Factual error: As we see in some of this series, Michael pins his victims to the wall with butcher knives. A kitchen knife isn't capable of holding a person's body weight pinned to a wall.

Suggested correction: Sure, it can. If it's a full tang knife jammed hard enough into a stud, especially given Michael's seemingly superhuman strength, it could definitely support a body.

No. There wouldn't be enough knife jammed in the stud to support a body. The average man has a chest depth of about 10", and Michael is shown using regular-sized kitchen knives, which are typically 6-12" in length... and that includes the handle. Honestly, none of the knives Michael uses would realistically be long enough to go all the way through a man's chest, let alone embed themselves into the wall behind the victim. So it's 100% impossible as depicted. This is simply a suspension of disbelief situation where the filmmakers knowingly included something completely unrealistic and impossible because it was a great visual. So it's 100% a mistake... but it's a cool mistake because it looks great on camera.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: We see countless times that there is a wooded area behind the Myers home (especially after the house burns down, it is seen more clearly). But in the other films, the Myers home is in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Behind his house would be the back of another house.

Audio problem: When Freddy is watching Fist Of Fury he hears the doorbell and says something as he turns his head, but his mouth doesn't move.

Plot hole: When the guard sees Michael on the security camera, why does he think it's Harold? Did he all of a sudden change into coveralls and gain access to a large knife?

Continuity mistake: After Sara and Freddy walk down the stairs after Michael Myers is hung, the curtain on the door behind Sara changes between shots, even when they peek through it.

Rudy Grimes: Don't distract me.
Jenna Danzig: Oh, I can't help myself. I am distracting.

More trivia for Halloween: Resurrection

Question: It was revealed that the person who Laurie thought she killed wasn't Michael but somebody who Michael had subdued and placed his clothes and mask on. Why would Laurie be sent to an institution for this? She wasn't aware of the fact that she killed the wrong person until the mask was removed, and since the staff seem to know about her connection to Michael, wouldn't they consider letting her go since she was only trying to stop Michael's rampage?

Answer: At first impression, Laurie was catatonic not only from the shock of killing an innocent man, but also from a lifetime of being chased down by her murderous brother. She obviously knows from past experiences that nothing she does (including faking her own death) will stop Michael from finding her. It is later revealed she has been faking her mental issues (think when she has been hiding her regular meds in the raggedy Ann doll) and is committed only to stopping Michael, no matter what the cost. She may have also been trying to protect her son and the only way to do that is to allow herself to be institutionalized in order to lure Michael there.

Answer: It's not properly explained (nothing in this stupid movie is), but the implication is that she went a little crazy due to the guilt of killing an innocent man and was institutionalized.
