Continuity mistake: In the scene where Jill and Charlie are revealed as the killers, Jill is holding a knife to Sidney's throat and a gun in her left hand as she explains her motive. When Jill and Charlie are getting ready to stab each other, the shot changes and Charlie hands Jill the knife, even though she just had it in her hand pointing it at Sidney. (01:11:20)
Scream 4 (2011)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Wes Craven
Starring: Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Lucy Hale
Jill and Charlie are the killers. Jill kills Charlie with the intent of framing him for the murders and making it look like Jill is the hero, just like Sidney was. Jill stabs Sidney to keep her quiet and then makes it look like Charlie killed Sidney and Jill saved the day. Jill is taken to the hospital, but finds out that Sidney survived. She tries to kill Sidney, who eventually electrocutes her and shoots her. But the media reports that Jill is a hero, meaning that she got what she wanted.

Sidney Prescott: Don't fuck with the original!
Trivia: When Deputy Perkins is pretending to be dead in the squad car, Deputy Hoss reveals Perkins' first name to be "Anthony". Anthony Perkins was the name of the actor who played Norman Bates, the killer in the original "Psycho".
Question: In the final shot, we see Jill's head move a little. Was that suppose to let the viewers know that she's alive or was it just a mistake?
Answer: I actually read that they noticed this before the movie came out and left it in to keep the ending ambiguous and since they were planning to make Scream 5, they felt that would possibly be the way to go.
That's very interesting, especially now that Scream 5 is finally getting made. Although it doesn't appear that Emma Roberts is returning.

Answer: I personally submitted this as a revealing mistake. There is no official statement from Wes Craven or anyone else involved in the making of the movie about it being deliberate. So in my eyes, it's a mistake.
