Continuity: In one scene, Jamie Lee Curtis takes a bottle of something out of the fridge, removes the top of the bottle and takes a drink, then hands the bottle over to her new boyfriend, he also takes the top off the bottle, even though it was never replaced - Jamie Lee Curtis can be seen playing with the top in her hands.

Continuity: In the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis goes back into the school with the axe and Michael Myers is hanging on to the pipe you can see she has a cut on her arm. When Michael comes down he stabs her in the spot where the cut was - you can clearly see it has disappeared.

Continuity: More than one mask was used in the film. This is most noticeable as the look of the mask changes from time to time.

Continuity: In the scene where John (Josh Hartnett) dives out of the window after first seeing Michael, there is no way he can land on his feet. He dived out head first.

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. In the next shot when he starts to take the beer out of the fridge you see that on the lower shelf beside the beer bottles there is a red object.

Factual error: At the start when Jimmy investigates Mrs. Wittington's trashed house he goes in there at about mid afternoon and when he comes out it is totally dark. He couldn't have spent that long in her house and also in October the days turn dark quite late.

Continuity: In the scene where the mom and the little girl go into the men's room the mom blocks the door with a rock. If you look closely the rock changes angles from scene to scene.

Continuity: 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, when did Michael use scissors like that in Halloweens 1 and 2?

Continuity: When Jamie Lee Curtis and Josh Hartnett are arguing about the trip he wants to go on, Jamie Lee slams the fridge door and something clearly falls off. Minutes later when they show the floor there is nothing there.

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 Jamie Lee Curtis hits Michael Myers with the van and they go over the cliff, you can see that the back doors of the van swing open, but when they get a frontal of Jamie going down the cliff in the van, the doors are shut, this happens about 3 times before the van finally stops.
