Trivia: The font in the opening credits is the exact same font (right down to the blue color) used in the opening credits from "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," which famously didn't feature the Michael Myers character and told an original story. Fairly appropriate, because (MINOR SPOILERS) Michael Myers plays a somewhat smaller role in much of this film, which primarily focuses on a new character who is driven mad and almost becomes a "New Michael/Boogeyman."

Continuity mistake: When Reiko picks up Tomoko's photos from the shop and is going through them, the way she's holding them changes subtly as it cuts back and forth from the over-the-shoulder shot to the low-angle-looking-up shot. (Most noticeably, in the over-the-shoulder shot, she has one photo pulled to the side but it's not pulled to the side in the low-angle shots).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: During the funeral, Reiko goes outside and sees a condolence sign from Tomoko's school. In the first shot, she's not casting a shadow on it. The camera cuts to the opposite angle, and you can see for a second that she's suddenly partially casting a shadow on the edge of it. (Presumably because they adjusted the lighting in-between shots when they changed the camera angle).

Continuity mistake: When Corey is almost hit by a car in the beginning (after the credits roll), his bike is suddenly toppled much further over after the camera cuts to a wideshot.

Continuity mistake: When Yoichi is first introduced, he stands up from a chair. The camera cuts to the opposite angle, and suddenly his body has rotated about 90° towards his mom between cuts.

Continuity mistake: When Reiko is at her job at the beginning of the movie after interviewing the school-girls, the extras behind them are not consistent when it cuts from the wide to medium shot. Several of them are in different places and are doing different things.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Reiko is introduced doing an interview with a schoolgirl, her cameraman suddenly moves back about a foot between shots after he tells the girl not to look at the camera, and they resume the interview. In the first shot, the lens of his camera is literally touching Reiko's shoulder... in the next, it's a good 12" behind her.

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, there are two magnets on the refrigerator that look like cheese-wedges. They change positions twice during the scene. They rotate and move down about a half-inch at one point. Then, a few shots later, they are suddenly much closer together.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening, there's a can of Planters peanuts on the table while Tomoko and Masami are talking about the cursed tape. When Tomoko gets off her chair and down on the floor, the can suddenly rotates about 45° from where it was a few shots prior. There's no indication that Masami touched it at all while it was briefly offscreen. (Best I can figure is that it might have gotten nudged between takes).

Question: What is the book Colin is reading Matt when they are in bed together?

Continuity mistake: When Riley and Trevor are "play fighting" in Trevor's apartment at the beginning of the film (right before Trevor explains his plan to rob the storage unit), a cigarette suddenly appears in Trevor's hand between cuts. (His hand was empty in the previous two shots and he had made motions indicating he had put the cigarette down on the table before that).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Riley and Trevor are talking in Trevor's apartment at the beginning of the movie, Riley lights up a cigarette that they share. It can be hard to notice, but the amount of cigarette that is burned up and the amount of smoke in the air subtly changes instantly between shots a few times over the 30-or-so seconds the cigarette is on screen. (Since the scene would be shot over multiple takes and angles, it'd be impossible for it to 100% match every time).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Joey is talking to Voight about the puzzle box and Voight tells him to "Keep going," pay attention. It's kind of hard to notice, but if you look closely, in the over-the-shoulder shot facing Joey, you can tell that Voight is standing straight, facing Joey before it cuts. When it cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly Voight's body has rotated about 90° (to his right).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Steve finds Kirsty in the collapsing house, they hug, Steve runs to the door and Kirsty notices the puzzle box shifting, the amount of debris falling in the air and the amount of "dust/flakes" on them changes between shots several times.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Kirsty is sending the Cenobites back, when she sends back the female Cenobite, we see a closeup of her hands opening and closing one of the "configurations." When it cuts to a medium shot of Kirsty holding the box out, you can see that the configuration is still "open" in her hands despite having "closed" it in the closeup.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the female Cenobite is dragging her knife along the wall and says "Not leaving us so soon, are you?", in the wideshot she's not leaving a mark on the wall at all, but then it cuts to a closeup, you can see that a large rip has appeared on the wall between cuts. (And there's also blood coming from it for some reason).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Frank is torn apart by the Cenobites during the climax, the moment is incredibly oddly cut. In the first shot, he's being held in place by the chains, but then there's a closer shot, and he's suddenly already torn apart and is flying into pieces. (Evidently, the MPAA made them cut a few seconds out of the shot, leading to this odd error).

TedStixon

Audio problem: When Chatterer appears and shoves Frank back in the attic, we get a closeup of his teeth chattering, but when it cuts to a wideshot, he's no longer doing it. You could argue that he just stopped as the camera cut (a little flimsy, but arguably a valid correction), but the real issue? They continue to play the "chattering" sound effect for about a second after he stops even though his teeth are no longer moving. They try to mask it by fading it out quickly... but it makes the moment feel wonky.

TedStixon

Visible crew/equipment: As Kirsty exits the storage room (where the corpse spewed maggots on her), you can see a boom-mic shadow appear on the wall behind her in the upper left corner of the screen, and even follow the actress slightly as she moves. It's only on screen for a couple seconds and can be hard to catch, but once you see it, it's super obvious. (01:19:36)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Kirsty is scooting along the floor of the storage room, a few shots before the corpse falls down and spews maggots on her, you can see her shirt is pulled up rather tightly around her neck. Then suddenly, right before the corpse falls out, it's pulled down a bit again. (Because they wanted the effect of the maggots falling into her shirt).
