Halloween 5

Revealing mistake: You can see the knife blade bend when Michael stabs Tina. (01:06:50)

Revealing mistake: When Michael (dressed up as Mikey) brakes the car when Tina asks him to stop at the store, you see that when he brakes, the rear red lights don't come on. (01:13:25)

Revealing mistake: When Spitz is stabbed with the pitchfork, you can see the line where the fake chest is. It's a different color.

Revealing mistake: In the beginning when Michael crawls out of the mine shaft that was just bombed he floats downstream. You see that he floats up to the old man's dock. If you look at him you can clearly see that he is wearing a black lifejacket. The filmmakers didn't even try to hide it under his suit, it is clearly visible on the outside of his jumpsuit.

Revealing mistake: When Jamie is in the attic, she sees Max hanging by his neck. You can tell it's a stuffed toy dog.

Revealing mistake: Notice when Michael comes up out of the water at the hermit's hut. He has a bulge on his back, likely a safety harness or padding of some kind.

Mikey: So how many cases can we get?
Spitz: Three cases. Any more and I think old Mr. Casy would-ah-know something's up, but we gotta get going, shift changes pretty soon. You gonna pull around back or should we both get busted out front?

Trivia: As Michael Myers' mask in the original film had been made from a Captain Kirk costume mask, it seems fitting (even if almost certainly coincidental) that in this film Myers resembles Commander Data, the popular character from 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' which was running on television at the time.

Question: Why does Jamie calling him uncle stop him? That and why honor her request to see his face?

Answer: Sorry about that and thank you.

Answer: The question was more-or-less answered in a previous question, so I'll copy part of my answer here: Director Dominique Othenin-Girard made the puzzling decision to try and humanize Michael in this film by showing he still had some traces of emotion that could be momentarily reached. Thus when Jamie talks to him, he briefly recovers his humanity, takes off his mask and sheds a single tear. Basically, Othenin-Girard felt it made Michael scarier by showing his humanity could be momentarily "reached." Of course, it really doesn't make sense and contradicts the other films... but it was just a decision the director made.
