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.

Continuity: At the start when Jimmy opens the fridge door there are quite a lot of items in there. If you look to the right of the beer bottles on the lower shelf there is nothing but a purple box.

Plot hole: In the beginning montage on newspaper clippings and photos in Loomis' room, one photo is of a pair of scissors, with blood on them. Since Halloweens 3-6 were disregarded by the makers of this film and considered non-canonical, when did Michael use scissors like that in Halloweens 1 and 2?

Continuity: In the montage scene with the newspaper articles and etc. there is a shot that says "Class of 78" and Laurie Strode - Laurie would have graduated in '79 if she was a senior during the first Halloween, since it was October of '78, and graduation would have been the next year.

Continuity: At the end, Jamie Lee Curtis has two kitchen knives and continually stabs Michael until he falls off the balcony and onto a table. You can obviously see that it's a dummy because the dummy falls on its side if you look closely the right side of the table collapses, but then they switch to another shot with a real person and it now shows the left side of the table has collapsed.

Continuity: When Kerrie comes back from lunch with Adam Arkin she is in the car with Josh Hartnett and Adam. She turns into the school driveway and it clearly shows that her window is up but in the next shot when she calls for Ronnie her window is down.
