Continuity mistake: Linda's head in the vise changes from at an angle in shots from behind to straight up in front shots. (00:20:30)
Continuity mistake: Linda's hair is dark as it rolls toward her standing headless corpse, but blonde as it attaches. It's dark again as she bangs Ash's head against the window blockade, but blonde when her head falls off a moment later. (00:17:50 - 00:18:45)
Continuity mistake: When Ash leaves the workshed after cutting up Linda he only locks the door to the workshed with the chain, later on he goes into it and unlocks the chain and the piece of wood. (00:22:20 - 01:06:20)
Continuity mistake: In one scene, Ash finds some pages from the Necronomicon lying in a mud puddle. He picks up the pages, and they're dry. (01:10:00)
Chosen answer: Evil Dead II starts out with a recap of The Evil Dead where Ash cuts off the head of his girlfriend Linda with a shovel and then is attacked by the entity, which is how the first film ended. While Linda is played by a different actress, it's still meant to be the same events as The Evil Dead. The cabin windows are still barricaded from the end of the first Evil Dead, and Ash's pant leg is still torn from Deadite Scott attacking Ash. Additionally, the end credits say: "Evil Dead II", the sequel to the ultimate experience in grueling horror, was filmed in Wadesboro, North Carolina and Detroit, U.S.A.
