Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: During Maureen's death scene, at one point the killer has an arm around her waist and as they make their way through the crowd of the most unruly moviegoers in history there's a girl in a blue dress that runs past them. Behind her there's a blonde lady that is drinking from a Pepsi paper cup and stands to cheer. In the next shot she's still cheering but from her seat, her cup switching hands too. Subsequent shots from the initial angle feature her again bopping on her feet. (00:10:45)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Outside the police station, Dewey stops because Gale is being sympathetic with her 'feel bad' speech. His hand is on the corner of the public phone in one shot, to the left in a different spot in the next shot. (01:14:35)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: At the police station, Cotton sarcastically says "Ok then, book me." Look at the door the chief of police is walking towards, which has his name on. In close-up there is a string touching the C of "Captain", that is missing in the wide angle. (01:10:10)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: The killer asks Randy what's his favourite scary movie; there's a POV of Randy that spots two girls sitting on the lawn. A tree behind them casts a big shadow in their direction, which changes orientation entirely in the shot when he touches the one with the phone. (01:03:10)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Gale, Dewey and Randy stand to go look for the killer who just phoned them. Throughout the earlier part of the scene the background behind David Arquette's close-ups showed the house and ground with a lot of sun filtering from the foliage, and the background behind Jamie Kennedy was much darker, but now you can see even the 'Arquette background' being dusky. (01:02:50)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Nobody moves after taking their masks off and looking at Sidney helpless on the floor. There's a close-up on two guys who take off their mask, one is a robust guy with short hair who removes a bearded old man mask. When Sidney flees, she passes by him, who is not standing close to the other guy anymore. (00:59:25)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Sid is talking to Gus, the drama teacher who is adamant that it's a good idea to put her in a scene with half a dozen masked people play-stabbing her. She says "I'm a fighter", and behind her there are a couple girls making their way through the seats and a guy carrying a drink from the other side. Gus swiftly replies "I didn't hear that", and the camera cuts back to Sid, showing the people who were in transit a split second before already perfectly seated. (00:55:35)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Derek gives Sidney his necklace and the two kiss. He puts his hand on her shoulder, then in the same shot the hand slides down, lower than the elbow. Wide shot, and he's still holding her shoulder. (00:50:00)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: After the meeting with the police chief, Gale asks Dewey to let her help out. During their conversation, the natural light changes wildly depending on the angle; just look at the collar of David Arquette's jacket. (00:45:50)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Trying to kill Sidney, Ghostface plunges into the front door of Delta Lambda a knife that is soaked in blood - even if they already cleaned ACICI's. Derek on the other side of the door looks at a knife that is mostly clean except a couple of tiny specks by the blade, and Ghostface pulls the knife back again bloodstained. (00:39:40)
