Audio problem: When Ritchie tells Sam, "I'm coming with you," right before they leave the bowling alley, Ritchie's line seems strangely dubbed in. It just doesn't quite match his lip movements for the first half.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Ritchie are outside the bowling alley and Sam says, "I gotta go!" after getting the call from Wes, suddenly she has her hands up by her face instantly between cuts, right before Ritchie stops her. (It happens quickly, and she's facing away from the camera, so it can be hard to catch.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Sam's phone rings outside the bowling alley, and she pulls it out, the way she's holding it changes completely between shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: After Ritchie and Sam kiss outside the bowling alley, watch closely. Sam goes from having her left arm down below frame to up touching her chin instantly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ritchie approaches Sam outside the bowling alley and jokingly asks her what she just took, when the camera cuts from one angle to the next as Sam replies, "Your boner pills," the look on her face changes completely between cuts. Additionally, in the first shot, she was holding up an energy drink that should be visible in the second shot, but isn't.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when Tara mentions how she saw "Stab" once when she was a kid and the caller says "You live in Woodsboro and you don't know 'Stab?!'", the way Tara is holding the phone changes slightly between edits.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when Tara puts the mail down on the counter and stands next to it while on the phone, the position of her body and the mail changes slightly when it cuts from the medium shot to the wide shot.

Trivia: The film was initially planned to be a launching pad for a new children's television franchise, with at least two sequels and a follow-up TV show planned. However, the film became such a huge financial flop that the franchise never continued.

TedStixon

Trivia: The film set a new record for the lowest opening weekend gross for a film playing on over 2,000 screens, bringing in less than $450,000. It went on to gross only $1 million in its entire theatrical run.

TedStixon

Trivia: The first, and as of 2023 only, "Scream" movie in which someone is not killed in the opening scene. In every other "Scream" movie, two or more people are killed in the opening scene. This movie instead subverts the trope by implying Tara is killed before revealing that she survived her attack.

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Sam looks at the mask, then drops it, when we see it on the ground, there's suddenly a bit more blood on the mask than the previous shot where we saw it.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Tara sit down on the stairs after killing Bailey, Sam rests her head against her hand. After this happens, her mouth goes from open to closed between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: From when Detective Bailey wakes up to when he is killed by Sam, the blood pattern on his face is mostly consistent, but the volume of blood changes a few times. It was likely taken from multiple takes, and whenever they redid his bloody makeup, it wasn't quite an exact match.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: As Sam and Tara walk away at the end, in the first shot, they are shoulder-to-shoulder. When it cuts to the wide shot starting at the mask, you can see they are instantly standing about 3' apart.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Chad is stabbed, the little streams of blood running from his mouth and down his chin change positions a few times between cuts, revealing multiple different takes were used.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Ghostface is about to start taunting Gale about how Dewey was killed, at one point, a piece of her hair falls down over the phone she's holding to her ear. In the next shot, it vanishes.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Sam and Mindy barricade the bathroom door that Ghostface is trying to kick in, the amount of blood around the sliding bolt lock changes repeatedly between cuts.

TedStixon

Other mistake: When Anika falls to her death, as she lands, there's already a moderately-sized puddle of blood beneath her, which makes no sense, as she only just landed that instant. Then, when it cuts immediately to a wider shot about two seconds later, there is suddenly even more blood around her body.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the "core four" are at the table and hear Quinn in the other room, Tara says, "Quinn and her gentleman caller are back at it again." As she says this, she goes from holding a spoon in her one hand to holding nothing and having her hands clasped together between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the "core four" do their first high-five/hand-joining at the dinner table, the way their hands are intertwined changes when it cuts from the wide shot to the close-up. Most noticeably, Tara's fingers go from being interlocked with Chad's fingers to gripping the side of his hand between cuts.
