* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Tommy Jarvis: TheProtagonist of all people! This movie's supposed to be about his recovery after the last film, but instead he has few major scenes, has literally only 24 lines, and is OutOfFocus for most of the damn film, while we, the audience, are repeatedly introduced to numerous characters who mostly serve as CannonFodder for the killer.
** Along with Tommy, [[spoiler: Roy Burns]]. He's the villain of this film, but he's no Jason. Even though, [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute he isn't]] the "Man Behind The Mask", he could have been used better than he was in this film.
* WhatAnIdiot: [[StupidEvil The killer,]] [[spoiler: Roy Burns]]: So it turns out that, [[spoiler: Joey, the fat kid who got killed by Vic, was his son.]] However, instead of going after [[spoiler: Vic]], he proceeds to murder [[spoiler: 17]] [[MisplacedRetribution people for no reason,]] some of which who weren't even around the house where [[spoiler: Joey]] died.

** When a lightning strike reveals to Reggie that Tommy's dark room is filled with corpses, it's a decent horror film moment. Then Pam goes in there and the ''exact'' same thing happens, it has been turned into a comedy film moment.

*** Raymond's death is sorta split, while kinda Narmish for the concept, just seeing the sight of a belt tightly wrapped around a guys eyes so much as ''it starts to cave in'' as the guy's screaming, can't help but also be disturbed by how real it looks too.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The two fight scenes where Tommy beats up Eddie in the first scene and Junior in the second scenes. Surprisingly for a person who spent the rest of his childhood in an insane asylum he knows some pretty decent MMA style moves. However there is the odd question: How and when did he learn them? Was there a JKD class in the asylum he was in? Did Dan Inosanto stop by during visiting hours, or is Tommy really that crazy?
