Corrected entry: When Michael is being put in the ambulance, only the woman gets in. When they start to drive off the man is seen sitting in front of Michael.

Halloween 4 (1988)
Plot hole: At the end of Halloween 2 Michael is completely engulfed in fire for several minutes. Even if somehow he was to survive he would be covered in scars. When we see him at the beginning of part 4 he has a few small scars on his arms. Same with Loomis, he has a few small scars on his arms and one on his cheek despite being in a gigantic explosion and fire. Obviously this was done so they could bring the 2 characters back but it still makes no logical sense.

Suggested correction: Michael has the supernatural ability to heal as shown when he's shot in the eyes at the end of Halloween 2 because in this one he can see, as for Loomis it's possible he was blown into another room or into an area into the room where the flames couldn't reach him, no mistake.
Michael does have some scars though. If the excuse that he heals is the reason he doesn't have more than all of them would be healed after 10 years. Also Loomis was in the same room with Michael, even if Loomis was blown into another room he would have been engulfed in flames and would have been either dead from the shock wave or still burned worse than he is in part 4.
Suggested correction: This one's tough. On the one hand, this is intentional and if it were released today I'd chalk it up to being a (very) soft continuity reboot and that in this film the explosion was simply not as severe as it was in Halloween II. On the other hand, in the context of its release era, and just by watching you can sort of tell they were hoping viewers either had a fuzzy memory of Halloween II or were willing to just go with it. I think I'll err on the side of the former, but it's interesting.
The original script contained an opening scene which showed how Dr Loomis was blown out of the hospital. They had no enough money, so that scene was never shot.

Halloween 4 (1988)
Corrected entry: Michael kills the mechanic for his overalls with a metal pole through the chest, but there is no blood or hole in the overalls when Michael is wearing them.
Correction: There was a scene filmed but cut, where Michael stabs the mechanic through the throat with the metal pole but since we don't see him stabbing the mechanic through the throat you'll just have to assume Michael did stab him there when Dr. Loomis discovers his body he's wrapped up in chains one of them wrapping around his entire neck.
