Ok might have already been posted BUT i went to my gf’s house tonight to hang out and i asked her what she wanted to do, she ofcourse said watch a movie…TO MY AMAZMENT she pulls out Halloween 2!!! I was DEF thinking at that point SHES A KEEPER haha…anyways on to my question, at the beginning of H2 they re-show the end of H1 where Loomis shoots Michael. I counted 7 shots but then Loomis’ famous quote “I shot him six times” occurs, now has anybody else noticed that or was it implied that Loomis MISSED on the first shot he took at Michael when he and Laurie were struggling? Thanks and COMMENT!!!

YA know I also seem to recall this as well, i watched it just before Halloween this year and I could swear I counted 7 as well, but to lazy to back up the dvd and re-watch and count again lol. Looks like I will have to watch it again. If it is 7 I assume it was a mistake that they some how edited the first time, or was just a reshoot, and when the re capped that scene in pt2 they mistakenly put that version in. Now I’m not an expert and my theroy doesn’t add up, so I could be wrong just my opinion… Dean
haha nice theory Dean that could be the case but who knows, maybe they were all high when filming was going on and said FUCK IT, nobody will EVER notice haha 
Lmao, they prob where high, and never figured that someday people will be anal enough to actually count the shots lol… Dean

They screwed it up on the 25th anniversary cd (the one with dialouge) as well No biggie but definitley noticable to us fans.

I love the 7 shots. lol
Hmmm. I just counted…6
count again… there is the initial shot in the hallway, thats 1, then a few shots in the room scenetwo quick shots back to back i almost didnt catch it then a few more when he falls off the balcony…also a side note i was watching the movie that came in the double pack with Halloween 3 idk if that makes a difference
Oh yeah I was just counting the volley when he blows him out the window
yea sry i didnt mean to sound like an ass in my response…but like i said is Loomis just talking about the volley you were talking about sandman OR total shots fired…wonder if we’ll ever know a defenative answer
i’ve counted there’s one in the hall when he puts the mask back on then when there in the room
loomis fires 6 more shots then he falls out so either loomis is a fast reloader or he somehow
can fire 7 shots from a 6 shot mag. revolver.
If I am not mistaken didn’t Loomis carry a revolver in the H1? Most revolvers only hold 6 shots, but there are some that hold more. It just looks to be a six shooter though.
Yea Dr Loomis had a 7 shot revolver that night. And also, if you watch when Michael is being shot out the door onto the balcony, you can tell he is walking backwards up a ramp to fall over the edge. Lol
Well lets look at it from this point of view… He’s in a strange house running up stairs to find Michal choking the ish out of this girl who is bleeding already so he reacts and lets off 6-7 shots…Then he goes out to see he’s not only not dead …But got up & walked away. It is possible he miscounted in his recount of the story to Bracket in his excitement.

I shot him 6 times…
Maybe he missed Michael on one of the shots
Loomis may have been perscribing himself some of that medical pot, if i’m not mistaken i think Loomis started that whole medical use movement haha jk i really dont know
Ah- the classic Halloween 2 film flub, and the oldest known. A few of the scenes were re shot for Halloween 2, recreating the end of H1. When they did so, they messed up and added another shot sound.
actually if you watch the end of h1 loomis still fires 7 shots and he misses the first shot
so it does make sense that he says “i shot him 6 times” but one thing i stil don’t understand
is how he can fire 7 shots from a 6 shot mag. revolver?
