Visible crew/equipment: If you look really close in the background as the killer throws Cici off the balcony, you can see someone sitting in a tree, wearing black, with a camera. (00:33:35)

Randy is killed whilst on the phone to the killer. Dewey is stabbed repeatedly and supposedly killed. The killers are revealed to be the weird Mickey, and Debbie Salt the reporter, who is actually revealed to be Mrs. Loomis, Billy (killer in Scream)'s mom! Mrs. Loomis' motive was simply that Sidney killed her son. Mickey is just a hired-nut! And Mrs. Loomis holds Sidney hostage, a knife to her neck. Both women plead for mercy, but Cotton shoots whacko Mrs. Loomis in the neck. Just to make sure she's dead, Sidney shoots her head. Mickey wakes up screaming, and Sidney, and Gale repeatedly shoot Mickey, killing him. After Sidney, Gale and Cotton emerge as the only survivors a group of medics come out bringing with them a barely conscious but alive Dewey. We learn that he is gonna make it. Sidney tells reporters that Cotton is the real hero and that he should be interviewed. He tells the reporters to call him and finishes the movie by saying that 'it'll make one hell of a movie'.
Trivia: There have been rumors ever since the release of "Scream 2" that filmmaker Robert Rodriguez actually directed the scenes from the movie-within-the-movie "Stab." (This would explain why "Scream 4" states that Rodriguez directed "Stab.") However, there are also conflicting reports that director Wes Craven filmed the scenes for "Stab," and even some theories that both directors worked on the "Stab" scenes. To this day, the truth is unclear.
Question: What was Mickey's motive for being one of the killers?
Answer: He hadn't no motive. Remember? It was the millennium. Motives are incidental. That and he was out of his mind. And he wanted to blame the movies.
Answer: Mickey's reply when Syd asks, that he's "always been a follower," indicates he's probably just psychotic, looking for any excuse to kill.
