Continuity: In the opening scene when Cotton is murdered, the room he and Christine are in clearly has a skylight in the ceiling. But once Cotton is thrown over the desk and looking up at the killer, there is no such sky light. (This come from the fact two different opening scenes where shot and the end of the scene when Cotton is looking up at the killer took place in an entirely different room.) more

Has a few memorable moments, but is clearly the weakest link in the Scream trilogy, 14 April 2007
6/10
Author: Max_cinefilo89 from Italy

At one point in this film, Detective Mark Kincaid (Patrick Dempsey) makes the following remark: "All I know about movie trilogies is in the third one, all bets are off". This is evident in Scream 3, which seems to have completely slipped out of the hands of Wes Craven and Ehren Kruger (original screenwriter Kevin Williamson was left out), becoming an increasingly contrived, nonsensical mess.

This time around, the masked killer starts causing mayhem on the set of Stab 3 (yes, Stab 3, unfortunately), before focusing, you've guessed it, on Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who's getting tired of being chased by lunatics all the time. And after this flick, the audience should be tired of watching the chase, too: things happen completely at random, there's no logical connection between events and characters and even the climax, which was also the main problem of Scream 2, is absolutely implausible, clear proof of the fact that this movie was made for the money rather than for the filmmakers'wish to go on with the franchise (hence Campbell's wise decision to appear less than in the previous Screams).

A few scenes, however, save the film from being total rubbish: Jamie Kennedy reprising his role as film-buff Randy is still very funny, as is a brief appearance by Kevin Smith's famous Jay and Silent Bob characters (for more laughs, check out the Scream spoof in their own movie). But the real treat for hard-core movie lovers is Carrie Fisher's self-parodying cameo, probably one of the sharpest, funniest satires on the film-making business (and it's only five minutes long).

Most of the time, though, Scream 3 is uninspired and dumb. Those wondering why people joke about certain producers not being concerned with the quality of scripts will wonder no more after seeing this.
