Continuity mistake: In the 1978 flashback scene, Michael does not have 6 bullet wounds in his chest from when Dr. Loomis shot him moments earlier.
Halloween Kills (2021)
Directed by: David Gordon Green
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Anthony Michael Hall
Factual error: The morgue is located on the lowest floor of a hospital not on the patient rooms floor. And the blinds on the windows would certainly be closed. In this hospital they are open and people can see dead bodies. Never happen.
Plot hole: Tommy leads the mob after the 2nd escaped patient, thinking it's Michael, but Tommy should have known it wasn't Michael. He saw the patient on the TV at the bar at the beginning of the film.
Trivia: The three victims of Michael found in the playground are wearing masks that look exactly like the ones from Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
Trivia: This film marks Charles Cyphers' final film appearance.
Trivia: Although it's set in a completely different continuity, this film shares a few interesting similarities with the 1981 "Halloween II" movie: it takes place entirely on the same night as the previous film, and Laurie Strode spends most of the movie in a hospital.
Laurie Strode: I'm coming for you, Michael.
Question: Why did the officer in the flashback beat Michael to the ground?
Question: Why would the police cover up Hawkins' accidental shooting of Pete McCabe in the 1978 flashback?
Answer: As you point out, it was a cover-up, probably to protect their reputation and one of their own. They would want to avoid any negative publicity, public outrage, and mistrust. It could also create accusations of police incompetence, leading to a civil lawsuit, firings, internal investigations, etc. There may be other things going on that the police want to avoid being scrutinized too closely.
Question: I'm confused. In Halloween 1978, Lonnie looks like he was a tough bully. In the flashback, he's the one getting bullied. Why is that?
Answer: Looks can be deceiving. Also, Lonnie had backup when he was tormenting Tommy. And bullies can be bullied, too. Plus, there were three of them against one of him.
Answer: Because they were all angry and frustrated, Michael killed multiple locals and was also responsible for the death of their fellow officer, McCabe. They were taking out their rage on him. Completely unprofessional, but also arguably understandable. Additionally, this question is a duplicate entry; it was posted twice today.
