Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Brian Gibson
Starring: Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, Oliver Robins
Continuity mistake: After the father drinks the 'devil' thing in his bottle of wine, he heads to the bathroom where the mother and Carol Anne have just had a bath and hairwash. When the mother realises there's something not right with the father, she sends Carol Anne - with soaking wet hair - out of the bathroom. As the father starts getting aggressive and saying hurtful things about Carol Anne, she comes to the bathroom door looking really upset - and her hair is bone dry.
Taylor: Children have fought wars, have built nations. They are strong and have courage, don't treat them any less than that because they're young.
Trivia: The "vomit creature" sequence and "Kane beast" creature were added to the film after Julian Beck, who portrayed Kane in his human form, passed away during filming after a long battle with cancer. The crew purposely made the vomit creature's face loosely resemble Beck's, and added Beck's face into the mass of faces on the beast in order to let the audience know that the creatures were meant to be the Kane character in different forms.

Answer: According to IMDb, a scene was scripted, but never filmed, explaining that she was away at college. The actual reason for her absence was because Dominique Dunne, the actress who played Dana in the first film, was murdered by her boyfriend shortly after the theatrical release of the first film.

Ironically, the young actress who played the youngest daughter, Carol Anne, died just a few years later (from natural causes).
