Continuity mistake: When Professor Crane is in the alley and the Ghostface voice says "No, it's not," she's scared by four people in Halloween costumes behind her. The way they're standing and walking by changes between shots.

Continuity mistake: When professor Crane is texting her date, at one point she reaches over and takes a quick drink in a wide shot. The editing is awkward. In the closeup, both of her hands are on her phone. Then, in the next shot, suddenly her left hand is reaching towards her drink. Then she starts to move her hand back towards her phone, but it cuts again, and she's instantly holding the phone in the EXACT same way as before. It looks like the shot of her taking a drink was cut in to break up the phone shot.

Continuity mistake: When Professor Crane picks up her phone for the first time at the beginning of the film, the way she's holding it in her hands changes slightly between cuts.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, when Professor Crane's phone first buzzes, her right hand goes from near the right side of her face to down over her left shoulder instantly between cuts.

Trivia: When the therapist is watching TV shortly before he is killed, there's a VHS box sitting next to his TV labeled "Dead Meat." This is a reference to the YouTube channel "Dead Meat," in which husband and wife duo James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca do reviews and podcasts on horror movies and media. They're friends with the directors and also had a cameo in "Scream (2022)."

Trivia: Bill Moseley got the role of Chop-Top because he made a parody short film of the original "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Moseley's film was called "The Texas Chainsaw Manicure". Series co-creator Tobe Hooper saw the short and loved it so much that he cast Moseley in a major part when "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" went into production.

TedStixon

Trivia: Tobe Hooper played up the black comedy in this sequel as he felt that all the dark humor in the original had been ignored by audiences due to the film's shocking content. He wanted to make sure that audiences knew the film was meant to be scary AND funny.

Trivia: Many ideas from the original script that were cut were later recycled into the various sequels. Series creator Don Mancini has stated that if he comes up with a good scene that doesn't quite fit one Chucky movie, he always keeps it written down because there's a very good chance it could be used in a later sequel.

Trivia: In an eerie example of life sort of imitating art, Ed Gale, an actor with dwarfism who doubled as Chucky in a couple of shots in the first few of the "Child's Play" movies (in addition to playing the titular character in "Howard the Duck"), was caught by an online sex predator hunting group in a sting operation in 2023.

Trivia: Chris Sarandon was supposed to be top-billed, but insisted that Catherine Hicks instead be given top billing, despite being a smaller "name," as she was the lead character and he admired her performance.

TedStixon

Trivia: The actor in the full-sized Chucky suit on the commercial was John Franklin, perhaps best known for playing Isaac in the original "Children of the Corn." Isaac often portrayed younger or smaller-statured "suit" characters despite being an adult due to a growth-hormone deficiency that resulted in him being shorter than average. (And having a very young-looking face.)

The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore - S7-E2

Trivia: When Frank and Mac are on the ship, you can see a short woman in sunglasses dancing near Frank in a few shots. If you're familiar with internet culture, you might recognize her as Rosanna Pansino, a famous YouTuber. (Though here she's made up to resemble "Snooki" from the show "Jersey Shore"). Pansino is known for her nerd-themed cooking show "Nerdy Nummies," silly challenge videos, and product reviews. She's a huge Danny DeVito fan and managed to score a role as an extra on this episode.

Halloween II - S2-E1

Trivia: When the bomb goes off, if you pay attention, the green smoke that billows into the sky subtly takes on the image of Chucky's face for a few seconds.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Durant and his thugs attack Peyton, as Durant asks about the memorandum, Peyton says he doesn't know what Durant is talking about. To this, Durant replies, "Unfortunate." Durant is literally right next to Peyton. Durant's thug then grabs Peyton, and it cuts to a wider angle. Durant completely vanishes between cuts. Both shots are pointed in the same general direction, so Durant should be (very) visible in the background of the wide-shot.

TedStixon

Factual error: The main plot is that a teacher answering a student's question about Jesus in a historical context starts a legal firestorm. This is utterly preposterous. Teachers (and students for that matter) are 100% allowed to discuss religion in a historical context. They just can't do things like force other people to take part in religious activities (like prayer) or "endorse" a single religion above all others since public schools need to remain neutral. There'd be literally no case against her.

Continuity mistake: When Mario is watching Luigi trying to talk to Daisy after she gets off the phone, he is tapping the empty water bottle against his head. In the first shot, it's against his forehead, but in the next shot, it's suddenly down by his cheek.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Daisy approaches Mario and Luigi after making a call at the phone booth, Mario goes from looking sideways at Luigi to looking down under his car's hood between cuts.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: In the opening, when Daisy's mother pushes the beam and causes the cave-in in the mine, for a split second, you get a pretty clear shot of Koopa's stunt double, who is taller than and looks nothing like Dennis Hopper. He's only on-screen for about a half-second, but it's very easy to notice it.

TedStixon

Visible crew/equipment: When Mario is telling Luigi about getting a call from the café for the plumbing job at the start of the film, watch the cabinet with the glass doors behind Luigi. At one point, you can see the reflection of a crew member in a short-sleeve shirt for a few seconds.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When the meteorite strikes the Earth at the beginning of the film, there's an odd slip-up in the effect. About a half-second before it hits, you can sort of see it awkwardly shift slightly to the right for a split second. It's hard to catch, but once you see it, it's fairly noticeable.
