Other mistake: On the back cover of Scream 3 in the Scream trilogy on DVD, the town of the original killings is referred to as Greensboro twice. The correct name of the town is Woodsboro, of course.
Scream 3 (2000)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Wes Craven
Starring: Liev Schreiber, Lance Henriksen, Emily Mortimer, Courteney Cox, Patrick Dempsey, David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Jenny McCarthy, Roger Jackson, Beth Toussaint, Kelly Rutherford
The killer draws Sidney to Miltons house with Gale and Dewey as hostages. He then chases Sidney before revealing himself.It's Sidney's long-lost brother, Roman Bridges, the director of Stab 3. He also claimed to have been the mastermind behind the murder of Sidney's mother, which was then the catalyst for Billy to start the killings in Scream! Roman shoots Sidney, supposedly killing her. Sidney then gets back up and stabs him revealing she was wearing a bulletproof vest. She stabs him three times. He then gets back up, seemingly invincible before Dewey puts a bullet in his head. Dewey proposes to Gale who accepts and Sidney lives happpily with Kincait supposedly living with her. Just before the movie ends a door swings open and Sidney smiles. The door suggests that they are literally leaving the door open for another sequel.

Suggested correction: I'm not "correcting" this per se, but I'm wondering if there should be either a separate type of mistake for things like DVD/Blu-Ray cases or posters (Ex. "Multimedia and Marketing Mistakes" or something like that), or if these things would be better classified as trivia? Especially since it's not something everyone can necessarily observe watching the movie itself. (Ex. My Blu-Ray and 4K releases don't have this mistake.) If not, feel free to downvote/delete this. I've just seen a few of these mistakes over the years here, and it always seems a little off to me since it's not something wrong with the film itself.
I agree these aren't valid movie mistake if the studio wasn't involved in the mistake. It could be trivia if only certain home releases had them. These mistakes are like when episodes are aired out of order creating continuity issues,, streaming services make changes, or closed captioning (not subtitles) gets something wrong. It can't be considered a mistake of the film or TV series.
It's tricky - largely, if I'm honest, because adding new types to the site is incredibly fiddly. :-) There's also room for endless debate about what's a "mistake", whether it's about assigning specific blame or just looking for interesting stuff. Likewise things that can only be seen in slow motion, which arguably warrant a category to themselves because there are plenty of them, but then the "mistakes" section gets cluttered. Becomes a user interface issue as much as anything! Will think.
Sidney: What do you know about trilogies?
Mark: All I know is that in the third one, all bets are off.
Trivia: Like the other Scream films, in this movie there's a small part for the man himself, Wes Craven. He's the guy with the video camera walking by Jay and Silent Bob. He even takes a good look at the camera. (00:18:30)
Question: How does Roman find Sidney's info for the crisis hotline? We never see him use Dewey's phone and I don't think it's possible he attacked Neil because Sidney would've found out about it.
Answer: But Roman is in police custody when the call happens and Kincaid has Dewey's phone.
Answer: Just because we never see Roman use Dewey's phone does not mean that Roman could not have used it to trace Sid. Also just because we never see Roman attack Neil does not mean he didn't. Though the phone way is more likely.
They discuss who used Dewey's phone. He says only he and Kincaid used the phone.
