Scary Movie

Revealing mistake: At the end in the "Matrix" fight scene, the killer throws Cindy against the wall, which moves at the top. Watch the gap at the top of the wall. (01:11:00)

Continuity mistake: When Drew goes to answer the door to the trick-or-treaters, the shot of the table at the front door has four legs at the corners. When the close up shot of it is taken, it's now a totally different table with a single middle post.

Continuity mistake: When Cindy is fighting the killer during the Matrix spoof, there is a short, storage table to the right of the plaid curtains. When the killer flies backwards through the window, that table is to the left of the curtains. (01:14:00)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: During the final confrontation scene between Cindy, Bobby and Ray, watch the knife that Ray holds. During close-ups it's a hunting knife with a fairly large blade. However, during a couple of the long shots, the knife blade is a different style and much shorter, obviously the prop knife used for the stabbings.

Guy

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Cindy comes out of the school where the jumper is on the roof, its very sunny just a few feet beyond the door. However in the shots where Cindy is facing the school and when she screams "What are you waiting for" - the area is now completely shaded.

Continuity mistake: When Cindy is walking away from the bum after giving him a sandwich, we see a white VW van driving away over her left shoulder. When the bum throws the sandwich back at her the van is parked back by the sign again.

Cindy: You've seen too many TV shows!
Ray: No! Watching TV shows doesn't create psycho killers! Cancelling TV shows does! [Ray starts stabbing Bobby]. Waynes Brothers was a good show! It was a damn good show! And, we didn't even get a final episode!
