Halloween II (1981) - 10 corrections

Directed by Rick Rosenthal, starring Charles Cyphers, Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jeffrey Kramer, Pamela Susan Shoop

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry Other than a patient that Jill responds to, no other patients or even visitors are ever seen or heard throughout the large hospital, despite the fact that the maternity ward has several newborn babies. [It's the middle of the night. There wouldn't be visitors around. And if you stretch your imagination, you can assume that the other patients are asleep (or there's very few of them present).]
Entry After Dr. Loomis, Marion, and the police officer enter the hospital, Laurie screams for help and climbs to her feet. She turns, and sees Michael Myers standing a few hundred feet away, next to a red light. Why is he so far away from her outside? He could've just gone out the doors that Laurie went through, which would've been much easier and logical. [He's an insane serial killer. No reason he wouldn't do something illogical.] Corrected by MovieGuy
Entry In the trailer to Halloween II, the man coming out of his house asking Loomis what was going on (right after Michael had been shot) and stating that "He had been trick or treated to death tonight" was a British man probably in his 60's. In the actual movie, however, that man was now a completely different guy who was probably in his 30's or 40's, with an American accent. [Differences between the trailer and the actual movie are not valid movie mistakes.] Corrected by Damian Torres
Entry Right as Laurie is being wheeled in an emergency room and the nurses and staff are preparing her, one of the nurses asks where Dr. Mixter is, and another one replies that he "is" ("is as in at the present) at the same party her folks were at, and that he was real drunk. However, a few seconds later, Dr. Mixter walks in and asks someone to get him some coffee. [Don't see the mistake. The Doctor was at the party to the nurses knowledge. The Doctor then leaves the party and happens to arrive at the hospital at that particular moment. He's asking for coffee because he had been drinking.] Corrected by Damian Torres
Entry The security guard is sent to find the reason the phones do not work in the hospital. A couple of scenes later, you see a nurse chatting on a hospital phone. [This is not really true, as the only time this occurs in the order of which you speak is during the "made-for-television" Halloween II, which is the actual Halloween II, but many scenes and events are out of sequence, others are fused together (which never were in in the original theatre format) to make the film shorter, and certain scenes (such as the telephone scene you speak of) only appear on the made-for-television Halloween II.]
Entry At the end of Halloween 1 we see Loomis shoot Michael 6 times, however at the beginning of Halloween 2 we hear the gun being fired 7 times. Loomis still claims that he shot him 6 times. [Because we hear the shot doesn't necessarily mean that it hit Michael, so it is possible that Dr. Loomis missed.]
Entry When the guy in the Myers mask is being chased by the Sheriff and Dr. Loomis, the guy is hit by a cop car which crashes into a van and causes an explosion. In an overhead shot you see the body fall on the hood of the car, but when Dr. Loomis gets a closer look, the body is standing straight up burning. [He might not have died instantly, and as such, been writhing in extreme pain and terror.]
Entry In the end credits of the film, it says NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is copyright 1978, when in fact, the movie was made in 1968. It can't be the copyright for Halloween 2 itself, as that was made in 1981. [The copyright is 1978. Copyrights are renewed, so although the film was made in 1968, it can be copyrighted in 1978.]
Entry After Michael is shot, he gets up and goes into the people's house to get their knife. But if you notice the street before he goes in, it's completely quiet, but when he comes out it is crowded with people. [That's because the neighborhood is beginning to react to all the increased police presence caused by Michael's actions.]
Entry In the original, after Dr. Loomis looks over the balcony to see Michael gone, he has a look on his face as if he knew something like this wasn't a big surprise (Michael surviving gunshots). But in the second film, not only is he in utter shock at Michael surviving, he repeats over and over in amazement during the film of how "he shot him six times without hurting him". [In the first film, Dr. Loomis's jaw does drop after he sees that Michael has walked away. And the scene in the second film takes place immediately after the first one; it's not unreasonable that it might have taken a minute or so for what happened to fully sink in.]
