Revealing mistake: During the scene in which Lou forces himself on Kim in the lunchroom, donning a black ski mask, Kim's brother Alex jumps up to his sister's defense. Just before Alex throws his first punch, Kim screams "Michael," referring to the actor's real name Michael Tough. Kim then correctly screams "Alex," the name of the character he was playing in the film.

Visible crew/equipment: When Mr. Hammond drives up to the school where his daughter died, you can see the reflection of the microphone in the left side of Mr. Hammond's car.

Visible crew/equipment: When Kim is in the empty gym dancing, Wendy shows up to confront her. When the camera is on Kim you can see the boom mic coming from the bottom of the screen.

Visible crew/equipment: Kelly gets spooked and heads to the door to check to see if anyone is around. She proceeds to open the front door and the scene quickly cuts to an exterior shot of her looking out the door, and right above the door is a black boom microphone.

Continuity mistake: Kim is at the kitchen table with her brother Alex. Kim has a necklace on. Kim asks Alex about having a date for the prom and all that is around her neck is a gold chain. The shot then cuts to Alex and then back to Kim and now there is a gold star hanging from her necklace.

Plot hole: If they've got a suspect for Robin's death why didn't they question him and make sure his alibi was true or not? It's never revealed, just them seemingly assuming this guy did it.

Rob245

Continuity mistake: When Robin lays there after she dies her head's facing forward, a shot later her head's turned to her left.

Rob245

Kelly: Oh Drew, there was this horrible voice, on the telephone.
Drew: A heavy breather?
Kelly: No, worse than that.
Drew: He turned you on, didn't he? I ought to try that sometime.
Kelly: I'm serious.
Drew: So am I.

More quotes from Prom Night

Question: I understand why the killer was after the 4 teenagers that were responsible for Robin's death. But there's something I can't figure out. The girl that was with Slick and having sex with him in his van, she wasn't one of the 4 teens. Neither was Slick. First he killed the pigtails girl, she was there. And then he went after the girl and Slick in the van, but neither of them had connection to Robin's death that I could figure out. He then went after the girl in the red dress who was one of the kids, and then went after the other two, the guy and the main girl. But Slick and the girl he was having sex with in his van, I can't figure out why the killer left the school to go after them. Why?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: The girl in the van was Jude. She was involved in Robin's death. You see her flashback as young Jude when she receives her prank phone call then she meets Slick walking on her way to school.
