Halloween

Trivia: Officer Richards (the cop who talks about banh mi bread) is played by Charlie Benton, an actual police officer who specializes in homicide investigations. He was hired as a consultant on the film, but was so charming and likeable behind the scenes, they decided to give him a small role as the ill-fated cop. His partner Officer Francis is played by Christopher Allen Nelson, an award-winning effects and makeup artist (and occasional actor) who did some uncredited makeup work on the film.

Continuity mistake: In the end, when Michael has grabbed Karen's ankle and is trying to pull her down into the basement, Allyson grabs a knife off the floor and stabs him. However, if you watch very closely, you can see she's already holding the knife in one shot before she grabs it. (It's the shot right before Laurie screams "I've got you!" to Karen.) You have to pay attention because it goes by quickly, but you can see Allyson lifting the knife into frame for a split second, even though she doesn't pick it up off the floor until about 15 seconds later.

Answer: It's never shown in the movie what happens. But there was a deleted scene where he got arrested for underage drinking after mouthing off to a police officer. Either way, he's safe for the time being, and the actor is currently slated to appear in the next sequel, "Halloween Kills."
