Paranormal Activity 2

Corrected entry: In the first scene where the pots and pans hanging from the rack start to swing back and forth and eventually fall, in one of the shots there is suddenly a red pot hanging from the rack that was never there before, no more than a few minutes later when the camera goes back to the rack the red pot has mysteriously disappeared. Same in Hunter's bedroom only this time it is a teddy bear that was sitting by his door while he was being lifted out of his crib that suddenly disappears in the next shot.

Correction: This is in fact two mistakes in one entry, which breaks one of the site's rules. Please submit them individually.

THGhost

Corrected entry: In the scene where the older sister is locked out of the home, she goes around to the back door of the house and is seen knocking on the back door where the window curtain is "open" part-way so we see that it is her. However, when the parents arrive home, the window curtain is "closed" fully.

Correction: The ghost is very active during this time, closing doors, taking the baby out of the crib, isn't possible it closed the curtain?

Corrected entry: The clock from the camera says 12:49 AM. That time only exists in the 24hour time system. It must be 0:49 AM.

Correction: Wrong. 0:49 = 12:49 AM. 24-hour clocks go from 0-23 o'clock, and do not need AM/PM to distinguish which half of the day it is, like 12-hour clocks.

gobylo

Corrected entry: One of the earlier scenes in the movie, Dan made an reference to "Clash of the Titans" when he says, "Unleash the Kraken". Titans was released four years following the time this movie takes place.

Correction: The original "Clash of the Titans" came out in 1981, 25 years before this movie takes place. The same quote was also used in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", which came out earlier in the same summer where this movie takes place.

gobylo

Corrected entry: On the door of Hunter's room it says his name, but when the father says "his room is untouched" the "r" is missing and the in the next scene it reappears again.

TTWieland

Correction: The "R" on Hunter's door is knocked off because the demon ransacks the house. The family then have cameras set up around the house as well as tidying it up. The "R" was obviously put back on the door because Hunter's room and the rest of the house is tidy again.

THGhost

Corrected entry: When the demon first ransacks the house and they are walking from room to room the "R" is missing on Hunter's door. But in the next shot of his door the "R" is back on.

razoprill

Correction: The next time we see Hunter's door is after the cameras are set up, several minutes later, not the following shot. There would be plenty of time for the "R" to have been put back on.

THGhost

Continuity mistake: When Kristi sits down to have her coffee and read her magazine, the coffee cup is perfectly in place before the cabinet doors burst open and she runs away. When she comes back and closes everything, her yellow coffee mug is gone.

Trivia: Notably, the previews for this film (and several other sequels in the series) contained footage not seen in the finished movie. The previews were often made primarily of footage from alternate and deleted scenes. The producers and directors hinted that this was done to help keep the story secret, despite being a bit shady on their part.

Question: How did Hunter get back in the crib since Ali was locked out of the house? Security video showed him being lifted out of the crib but doesn't show how he got back in. When mom and dad got home he was back in the crib and Ali was outside the house.

Answer: More than likely the demonic spirits placed him back in, since they were shown to be frequently interacting with him.
