Visible crew/equipment: When Loomis looks out the window for Michael, you can clearly see the cameraman's reflection (best seen on the Limited Edition DVD).
Visible crew/equipment: When Dr. Loomis arrives to the gas station the boom mic's shadow is visible on the ground. (00:19:02)
Visible crew/equipment: When the sheriff and the officer are talking after getting the gun from his car, you can see a crew member in the background (doorway).
Other mistake: In the scene where Jamie is in the closet, looking at a photo of her mother (Jamie Lee Curtis). The photo looks exactly like the scene where Laurie is sitting waiting for Annie on the ledge in the original Halloween, which wasn't photographed at the time, it's clearly a still from the movie.
Earl: Martians could land on Ben's doorstep and all he'd do is spit once and get himself a shotgun.
Trivia: Due to an impending writer's strike, the script was completed in only 11 days by writer Alan B. McElroy. McElroy cracked the story, and managed to complete a final draft in this short period of time, reportedly turning it in only a few hours before the strike began.
