Why is it that the director had to mess up the plot even further.
If im not mistaken, Annie survived in the second one and her daughter at the end grew up into Caroline in this movie.
According to this movie, Annie gave into the candyman and "Killed herself" in the bath.
Where the hell did that come from? is there some part I am missing? lol
any help will be much appreciated
Nope, not a continuity mistake. Caroline was a baby when her mother was still alive and when she grew up, her mother killed herself. It was only shown in the flashbacks of part 3.
shareyeah but her excuse was that she killed her self because the candyman kept persuing her or something. Annie got rid of the candyman in number 2 and nobody called him back into existence until caroline did but bye then annie had killed herself.
The producer mucked it up. lol im soo confused
interesting point. if i remember correctly, at the end of candyman 2, baby caroline was saying candyman 4 times into the mirror on her mobile, but her mother stopped her right on time. so it's quite possible that when her mother wasnt around, caroline tried again and bought him back into existence.
shareyeah that could be it, Although just like the first one when he was called into existence he usually manifests himself into something or we know he is back like:
in Candyman one:
Bees swarm the city at the beginning
In number 2:
The boy sees him in his dreams and draws it all down.
But it still doesnt make sense, to kill annie off screen.
If they were gonna kill her off they should have got Caroline to call him into existence then as her punishment he would kill her mother.
the myth was broken after she smashed the mirror, so he shouldnt have been able to come back and get annie.
Stupid script lol.
Here's a bigger continuity error.
The girl was about 5-6 at the end of 2, but she's 30 odd in this film and there was only a 4 year gap.
Jesus died for our sins. As he's already dead...sin away.
So? Bunch of movies take place years after their sequel.
shareUm, that's not really an issue. Like the user above me said, lots of sequels take place further in time from a previous movie despite a close gap between their release dates. This movie didn't have to be set four years after Part 2 because it was made that long after it.
Now does it ruin the time setting of the first two movies? Yes, since it's clear they take place in the 1990s and Part 2 even states Part 1 happened in 1992. This movie looks like it takes place in the present so that means the first two movies now happened in the 1970s. It happens and I wish producers were more careful when making these huge time gaps with one movie that's following on from another that takes place in the present and released a short time ago. It makes it hard to place it like two decades earlier when it's obviously in the present.
But Candyman 3 doesn't specifically state it's time date so by ignoring the obvious 1990 styles in the movie's look and clothes, one could imagine it's set somewhere in 2017-2020 if they want to keep the first two movies in their present settings.
Annie was suppose to be free from Candyman because she destroyed the secret mirror that suppose to break his curse but they never explained that in this film.
shareYes they did. In a flashback, Annie tells Caroline that the myth is what's keeping him alive and he'll always come back as long as the myth of him being real is spread around and believed. That's why Caroline went to frame that police officer as the killer, to destroy the myth. So when Annie broke the mirror, it only gotten rid of Candyman temporarily but not for good.

Let's forget the fact that this movie is awful, but ultimately Candyman is out there. Saying his name five times in the mirror brings him back. Annie stopped him but she couldn't erase him from existence. And neither could Caroline by blaming it on a cop that MAYBE was responsible for the murders in this movie, but not the hundreds of murders that happened the 100+ years since Candyman was created by the mob.
