Halloween: Resurrection

Continuity mistake: When at his house, the first crew member Michael kicks with a camera. He puts that camera on the ground, tripod closed and laying down. When the people first walk into the house they switch to a camera view that's up the stairs and you can see that the camera that was laying on the floor is now propped up against the wall.

Continuity mistake: Freddie is stabbed rather harshly on the shoulder but there is no blood anywhere on his shirt or anywhere near his wound.

Continuity mistake: At the party, when someone screams out to turn the volume down, right behind the kid that plays Decker is a blonde haired boy with a red smoking jacket. It then cuts back to inside the Myers' house for a few minutes. When it cuts back to the party that same blonde haired boy just walks in as if he wasn't in there before, asking what they are watching.

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Sara is looking through the bedroom closet the mannequin with the mask on falls on her and the head falls off but when Rudy comes in and lifts the mannequin back up the head is attached onto it. (00:44:50)

Continuity mistake: When it flashes back to how Michael Myers survived the end of H20, we see the paramedic that he subdues and switches places with. That paramedic had a bit of a stomach on him, yet the figure of Michael Myers throughout the rest of H20 after the switch remains the same as the real Myers. [A side note: Halloween H20 WAS intended to be the absolute final film, but popular demand forced a return and obviously they needed a scapegoat excuse to bring Myers back. Still...]

Continuity mistake: When Donna puts her shirt on after messing with Jim, she doesn't put her bra on. After Michael kills her, her bra is back on.

Continuity mistake: In the first Halloween the kitchen of the Myers house is to the right of the back of the house, but in this one it's to the left.

Continuity mistake: The blonde girl has very thick black roots. She is decapitated. When Michael throws her head down the stairs, she is perfectly blonde, no black roots.

Continuity mistake: When Michael Myers is walking towards his sister's room at the mental ward, the camera shot is behind him, as he holds his knife by his side. The camera angle changes to his front, and now the blade is at his front.

Continuity mistake: When you see Sara driving up the school path on her moped you see a lonely girl sitting on a bench and when it changes to the next shot she is gone.

Continuity mistake: When Freddy arrives at the Myers' house the sliding door at the side of the car is left open but after Sara sees Michael Myers at the window the door is shut. (00:30:15)

Continuity mistake: After Sara runs out of Michael Myers' bedroom window, he slices the bottom of her leg. But when she climbs up the roof there are no wounds. (01:07:00)

Continuity mistake: In the end, when Busta Rhymes is smashed into the wall, his dreads are really a mess. Next shot his dreads are neat. And the 3rd shot of Busta, his dreads are a mess again.

Continuity mistake: At the start of the film after the crazy guy is pushed out of the room Sara says, 'I just need to send a quick e-mail.', and when you see her type it in there is a really long word or sentence on the screen but in the next shot close up there is just the word 'Deckard'. (00:19:40)

Continuity mistake: When Sara is hiding in the garage she throws the chainsaw at Michael Myers and he manages to keep standing up but after Sara falls on the floor with the electrical circuits on top of her you see Michael Myers lying flat on the floor. (01:15:25)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Rudy has the last last knife stabbed through him about fifteen centimeters of the blade go through the other side of the door. About fifteen seconds later from the fitted camera view you see Michael open the door and Rudy has a large, thick padding on his back. There is no way the knife could have gone that far through the other side of the door if the padding would have been that thick. (01:04:20)

Continuity mistake: After Deckard receives the e-mail on his computer he writes about three lines below but about five seconds later when you see the computer screen he is just beginning the sentence on the first line. (00:19:55)

Continuity mistake: When the six enter the Myers' house outside you see Sara walk through the doorway and nearly reaching the stairs but about five seconds later she is just entering the doorway. (00:31:25)

Continuity mistake: When Nora is making her coffee from the machine you can see most of the computer screens. If you look at the one with Charlie on it you can see him walk backwards with the tripod leg pointing at him, but in the next shot,when you see the screen close up, he is kneeling down, Michael Myers catches his attention and then he stands up. (00:28:30)

Continuity mistake: When you see Sara riding her moped up on the road on the way to the meeting with Freddy the sky is blue and dark but when you see her enter the door to the room you can see in the background sunlight coming in from the windows onto the walls. (00:20:50)

Continuity mistake: When at his house, the first crew member Michael kicks with a camera. He puts that camera on the ground, tripod closed and laying down. When the people first walk into the house they switch to a camera view that's up the stairs and you can see that the camera that was laying on the floor is now propped up against the wall.

More trivia for Halloween: Resurrection

Question: It was revealed that the person who Laurie thought she killed wasn't Michael but somebody who Michael had subdued and placed his clothes and mask on. Why would Laurie be sent to an institution for this? She wasn't aware of the fact that she killed the wrong person until the mask was removed, and since the staff seem to know about her connection to Michael, wouldn't they consider letting her go since she was only trying to stop Michael's rampage?

Answer: At first impression, Laurie was catatonic not only from the shock of killing an innocent man, but also from a lifetime of being chased down by her murderous brother. She obviously knows from past experiences that nothing she does (including faking her own death) will stop Michael from finding her. It is later revealed she has been faking her mental issues (think when she has been hiding her regular meds in the raggedy Ann doll) and is committed only to stopping Michael, no matter what the cost. She may have also been trying to protect her son and the only way to do that is to allow herself to be institutionalized in order to lure Michael there.

Answer: It's not properly explained (nothing in this stupid movie is), but the implication is that she went a little crazy due to the guilt of killing an innocent man and was institutionalized.
