Scream 2

Factual error: The part of the play Sidney stars in begins with "All, behold the dreaded fate of Troy, that once stood proud and light upon the hills of Sparta." Please, what? There is a correlation between Sparta and Troy (the bride of the king of Sparta ran off with the prince of Troy, that was the casus belli), but phrased this way it does not make sense. (00:57:00)

Other mistake: The movie is supposed to happen "a couple years" after the previous (words of the moviegoer behind Jada Pinkett) but the current date shown at the theater says 1997, and Scream was set in September 1996 (calendar at Stu's house distinctly visible when he brings Sid's dad out of the closet).

Plot hole: It's never explained or questioned not just how Cotton Weary just happened to stumble into Dewey inside a remote recording room, but why was a non-student not from the area wandering around the student campus at 10-11 PM during a curfew to begin with.

Audio problem: Randy is leaving class to meet Sidney, but his classmate first asks him "So, Mr. Originality..." The camera cuts away before she finishes the sentence, but you can tell that the word that came after "So" doesn't match what the actress is saying. (00:17:20)

Trivia

Trivia: There have been rumors ever since the release of "Scream 2" that filmmaker Robert Rodriguez actually directed the scenes from the movie-within-the-movie "Stab." (This would explain why "Scream 4" states that Rodriguez directed "Stab.") However, there are also conflicting reports that director Wes Craven filmed the scenes for "Stab," and even some theories that both directors worked on the "Stab" scenes. To this day, the truth is unclear.

Questions

Question: What was Mickey's motive for being one of the killers?

Answer: His main motive was fame, or infamy for that matter.

Answer: He hadn't no motive. Remember? It was the millennium. Motives are incidental. That and he was out of his mind. And he wanted to blame the movies.

Alan Keddie

Answer: Mickey's reply when Syd asks, that he's "always been a follower," indicates he's probably just psychotic, looking for any excuse to kill.
