Laurie hasn't seen her brother sine 1978. But when she sees Michael through windows, etc she sees Michael wearing the Halloween H20 mask when the only mask she ever saw was the one that appeared in Halloween/Halloween II.
Have people forgotten?? John tells Molly that he has a relative that likes to butcher people on Halloween. Yet she doesn't know about it or at least say that she does. Isn't Michael a famous serial killer?
What is Keri/Laurie thinking. She is carrying a gun despite the fact that she knows that it will not stop Michael. Hey Laurie you shot him in the head twice and it didn't stop him, hell you watched him get shot eleven other times prior to that by Loomis.
After Michael is burnt in HALLOWEEN II, his hands don't contain scars anymore once H20 comes around. Well he did have twenty years in order to have plastic surgery.
I guess Michael doesn't need rest, he travels from Illinois to California in just two days!! How did he pay tolls, get gas?? I am really stretching my nitpicking here but facts are facts.
What ever happened to Halloween 5-6?? The detectives in the beginning make is sound like those films never existed. Was Laurie dreaming or something???
What did Michael do for twenty years? If H4-H6 never happened where did he live? Why did he wait so long to go after Keri??? I guess we will never know.
How did Michael get his mask?? That is never explained. Again I am stretching it here.
The mask looks different in each of the films, even though it's implied that it's supposed to be the same mask each time after part 2. Of course, the mask in H4 is supposed to be different since Michael got it from the Drug Store (after the mask had burned in the second film). But then the masks in parts 5-H20 differ again from that one.
During the very end of the credits, when the film is dedicated
to the memory of Donald Pleasence, they misspelled Pleasence as Pleasance.
In the beginning credits, there's a picture of Laurie Strode in the Haddonfield
Yearbook. It says "Class of '78." It should be "Class of
'79," however, because the film took place in October of 1978, when Laurie
was a senior, so she would have been graduating in the summer of '79, making her
"Class of '79."
Also in the beginning credits, one of the articles says "Lauries Strode,
who survived the Haddonfield murders in 1968..." instead of 1978.
In one of the articles at the beginning of the film, during the credits, Michael
Myers' name is spelled wrong. They spell it Meyers at one point.
In the opening sequence, Marion's house is supposed to have a loss of power.
When Jimmy goes to investigate, however, the light bulb in the refrigerator
comes on when he snags the beer. If there is no power in the house, then the
light bulb should not have come on in the refrigerator.
Near the end of the film, after Laurie sends John and Molly down the street, she heads back inside. Michael comes down from a pipe above her, and she spins around and hits him with the axe, then he cuts her arm. If you look closely, you can see the when Laurie spins around, her arm is already cut.
When Laurie is confessing to Will who she is, she mentions that Michael murdered Judith when she was 17. However, when Michael places the tombstone over Annie in Halloween, it reveals Judith was born November 10, 1947. Considering she was killed in October, 1963, she would actually be 15, not 17.
In the scene when Keri has just finished teaching the class, after the discussion about fate, she calls John up to give him a permission slip. Check out the stand-alone chalkboard which has the word "Yates" incorrectly written on it. After Keri and John discuss the field trip, the camera cuts back to the chalkboard and the spelling has changed to "Yeats"
Continuity and Other Production Errors
When Will is eating with Keri he tells her that "I'll be right back" he then gets up and turns to his left. However when the camera angle changes it shows Will turns to his right instead. Just a continuity error.
Michaels eyes are blue in this film but they are brown in Halloween V.
More than one mask was used in the filming of the film. This
is quite evident as the look of the mask changes from time to time in the film.
In the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis is telling Adam Arkin who she really is,
they are lying on the sofa in her living room. After she tells him, she asks if
he wants a drink. She goes to the kitchen and gets a bottle of vodka from the
fridge. As she is walking back into the living area, she unscrews the top of the
bottle and takes a swig. Never replacing the top, she hands the bottle to Adam
Arkin who (before he takes a drink) unscrews the top.
When Keri and John are arguing over Yosemite in the Kitchen, Keri slams the
refrigerator door shut. A magnet falls to the ground, but when there's a cut,
you don't see the magnet on the floor.
Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's name is mis-spelled on the theatrical poster as Jodi Lynn
O'Keefe.
On the original theatrical poster, Janet Leigh's character was incorrectly
listed as "Hattie."
The SCREAM 2 scenes on the girls' TV have continuity errors.
Although posters, advertisements and trailers only show H20 as having Dolby Digital and SDDS sound mixes, H20 was also released with a DTS sound mix for it's theatrical release.
When Kerri and her boyfriend are having lunch and he goes to the bathroom, she calls the waiter over to order another drink. Each time they cut to her the glass is either in her hand or on the table.
After Charlie has been killed and Sarah is in the lift with him, his position keeps changing; first looking at her then not, then he is and finally not.
When John and Molly are running out of the building, John jumps out of the window head first, but when the camera cuts back to him, he is seen coming out feet first.
When the woman places the rock in front of the door, the large side of the rock is facing outward, but then when the view changes the large side is facing inward.
On the Donald Pleasance bio, they mistakenly say Donald Pleasance did the voice over in H20, which he did not, it was done by a sound-a-like.
Twenty years ago Laurie Strode was viciously attacked by her brother Michael Myers. In his wake, Myers left a trail of corpses and ruined lives. To escape the past Laurie has moved across country in order to forget her past. However, Michael knows of her whereabouts and he is once again in pursuit of his target...Laurie Strode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A pretty good film in comparison to Halloween 5 and Halloween 6. The idea of bringing back Laurie Strode was excellent!! I liked the way that they brought back the Marion Chambers character too! However, there is too much Scream in the plot and not enough Halloween! Kevin Williamson (writer of Scream) was brought on board to write the screenplay for Halloween H20. I do feel that this is a excellent addition to the series and the best sequel since Halloween II or Halloween 4. Some of the characters are a little fuzzy and lack development and it is difficult to care about anyone of them as they face Michaels wrath. The producers rushed this movie too much but that seems to be the Halloween industry. I give it two out of five stars **.
