Trivia
One scene in Kevin Williamson's screenplay was described simply as "Wes Craven will make it scary."

Goofs
(at around 16 mins) Randy corrects Film Class Guy #1's quotation of Ripley's famous exclamation in Aliens (1986) ("Get away from her, you bitch!"), but Randy is wrong; Film Class Guy #1 was correct. Film Class Guy #1 was supposed to misquote Aliens (1986), but Joshua Jackson spoke Jamie Kennedy's line. Thinking fast, and to keep the scene going, Kennedy spoke the quote intended for Film Class Guy #1, "Stay away from her, you bitch."

Quotes
Randy: [from the trailer] The way I see it, someone's out to make a sequel. You know, cash in on all the movie murder hoopla. So, it's our job to observe the rules of the sequel. Number one: the body count is always bigger. Number two: the death scenes are always much more elaborate. Carnage candy. And number three: never, ever, under any circumstances, assume the killer is dead.

Crazy credits
There are no opening credits.

Alternate versions
The DVD omits Robert Rodriguez's directors credit during the opening titles for "Stab".

Good Enough!

Well, i did prefer the first Scream BUT that's not to say Scream 2 wasn't good. Yet again it had good performances and the killers in the film turned out to be quite suprising. It was a good sequel anyway. 10/10 Might i just add that Wes Craven is a BRILLIANT director and Kevin Williamson is indeed a great writer.
