Revealing mistake: Bruce Willis wore fake feet during the movie to protect his own while shooting the film. They were like boots that slipped on over his. At the part where the FBI guy shoots at him from the helicopter and Bruce jumps to a lower level of the roof, you can see the tops of the fake feet that aren't tight around his ankles. (01:50:30)

Continuity mistake: When Delia spray paints the word “mauve” on the wall, between shots it is apparent that the script of the word changes.

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Loomis is thrown through the window by Michael Myers in the school notice that Myers' hair has strangely turned white. The next scene Myers' hair has gone back to being brown. This is more evident in the widescreen version.

It wasn't caught until the film was being edited. (01:13:50)
