I was watching Resurrection and was thinking the way the explained michael being alive after H20 is pretty lame, granted i know there’s not many ways to explain something being alive after there head is cut off. But at the end of H20, he panics for a sec, then he reaches out his hand to touch Lorie, wouldn’t he simply just take off his mask or wave his arms or something to try and get her to stop or realize thats’ he not michael. Maybe i’m nit picking here but there had to be a better way to explain, though i have no idea how lol. Anyone else have an opinion on this, and i know resurrection is not the best with tyra banks and busta doing karate, and the internet thing. But atleast he stays true to michael stalking before he kills.
i actually like the way the explained it all i mean he cudnt get the mask off maybe cuz hes stuck between a van and a log and michael had crushed his talking thingy dont know how to spell it lol but it was very creative to me
well i dont think they knew there was going to be a sequel as they were making H20
i think they explained michael still being alive just fine in resurrection
but your asking about how he reacted being stuck between the van and the tree
well that does not have anything to do with the next movie it was supposed to be michael well it was michael …
untill they wanted to make another movie
BINGO WE HAVE A WINNER
i know this strays way from the conversation but i didn’t really like how the ending was since they didn’t make a sequal.
this is how i would have ended it:
after michael stabs lourie and she falls the parametics find her and rush her to a hospital.
turns out she’s still alive and once she fealing better laying in her bed she hears over a police
scanner that someone tried to call in murders made by michael myers. after loure hears this she
gets out of her hospital bed escapes and right when you see busta brake down the door replace him
with lourie and have her say “hello michael, i told you ill see you in hell and im going to make sure you get
there” she charges at michael and pushes him into the wires and fire and she is holding him there. then
dekerd ( sara’s chat room friend) comes through the door way and brings her out of the garage. the ending would
show lourie and michael in the garage burning and have the halloween theme play after they both die.
i know that was pretty long but don’t ya think that that would have been a better ending and a great way to end the
series. tell me what ya think. 
i think the explanation was good. I mean they intended for michael to die in H20 so the way he acted wasnt supposed to seem odd. However I think its interesting that he grabbed the mask like he didnt know he was wearing it. Almost like the impact knocked sence back into him so when he died, he died human and not the supernatural killing machine he has always been. But with resurrections explanation they handeled that quite well and used the head grabbing as an example that it wasnt michael. As for the removal, perhaps it was too tight fitting, he was a larger built guy with a big head so the mask could have been too tight, and he was in too much pain to stop and remove it. I find it more lame that he managed to do all the costume switching in enough time to escape unseen, especially considering his severe burns from H2 wich were otherwise unseen. Not to mention his full head of black hair. What I find most lame is that resurrection was even made. its far too modern and doesnt give that true halloween feeling i love. I think ending it with laurie killing michael finally was the best way to go, hence my ignoring part 8 lol
To me, Michael did die in H20. Resurrection doesn’t exist to me. I liked the idea of Michael being vulnerable at the end of H20. He was trapped and knew he couldn’t win. I like to think that Michael was sincere in reaching out to Laurie. Underneath that layer of madness and evil, there’s a human being. He felt what it was like to be a victim, something that he’s never had to face before.
I dunno…I just don’t like the idea of “pure evil”. His human moments in part 5, H20, and of course Zombie’s films make him a more interesting and almost tragic figure.
i hole heartedly agree
I’m sorry Resurrection=lame…
let me put it this way…
So Laurie pre-empted that Michael would walk to that exact spot where the rope was on the roof 
… crap.
Somehow Michael knew that the ambulance man grabbed his head that way at the climax of H20 and decided to use this to confuse Laurie… what? Was he watching carefully from the bushes nearby… or if he was psychic then wouldn’t he have known the exact spot that the rope was on the roof … rubbish.
Why would Laurie wanna check if it was Michael…he feckin’ rammed through her hospital room door… head first… stabbed her bed with a knife… did she think it might just have been the hospital orderly checking that she ate up all her gruel…
It just made Laurie look like a dim wit… after all the rest of the series made her out to be the intelligent one… this made her into Suzanne Somers or something.
This was all just lazy writing… no effort or thought put into the logistics of it at all. This is one of the reasons I dislike Resurrection… it’s full of plot holes and terrible writing… another perfect example of this… how come no one can hear anybody else getting murdered in the Myers house… how big is this house for craps sake?
Take away Busta Rhymes and I’m happy with it.
As far as whether or not it was Michael in the van at the end of H20, all I have to see is watch the way he moves in that scene. When he comes up out of the bag he looks confused, like he doesn’t know where he is. I think it makes perfect sense that Michael had switched with the paramedic.
excellent. you pratically summed up everything that’s wrong about that movie, except you forgot about how dumb the mask looked.
He swiped at Laurie, and why would any normal person sit up like that after being thrown from a windshield? Also, he made no attempt to take off his mask or anything. Just before Laurie hit him with the van, he just stood there. Any one else would move or wave their hands in the air to let her know it’s the wrong person.
No, he did not swipe at her. I’m 100% certain of that. He made his way toward her but he never actually tried to harm her. Watch it again…
How do you explain my other points, then? It’s obvious that the person in the mask was no paramedic.
He was thrown from the vehicle, yes. That’s survivable. Plus it’s a movie…
And even when he say up he did so in a manner like he was dazed or hurt. Watch it again.
im sorry but if your larynex (sp") is crushed your dead. That is why the oh he switched places with a paramedic didnt work plus why didnt the paramedic not take off the mask? Although i love the h8 mask, h20 shouldve been the ending/death of myers.
But guys You have to remember that during the process of “H20” it was intended that IT WAS Michael in the back of the van… so he did go for her to hurt her …it was meant to be Michael Myers. The idea for Resurrection didn’t seed til at least 2 years later and even at that stage Jamie Lee Curtis was only obliged by contract to do a 60 second cameo. The idea of the ambulance driver being the one beheaded was clearly a weak retcon to try make more money from the series. I actually find Resurrection offensive to the fans. It underestimates our intelligence. The only good thing about the movie was the Halloween theme and Brad Loree was a decent Michael. H20 would have been the perfect ending to the original series.
oh thats funny. just pointing out scenes in the film is hilarious.
Resurrection played out like part of the “Scary Movie” spoofs it was so bad… so bad it’s funny!!!
I could think of many things from other Halloweens present that are just as “insulting”.
