Never Trust a Trailer | |
| The Nun II / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The scene in the trailer where Irene is surrounded by the ghostly nuns never appears in the film itself. When the girls are cornered into Madame Laurent's residence, one of them sees Valak in her room. In the film itself, she actually sees Laurent's ghost (or rather, Valak's impersonation of her). | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The Nun II / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: When the boarding school is first introduced, it is shown that massive amounts of wine are stored there, left over from when it was a winery. It all comes in handy during the climax when Sisters Irene and Debra transubstantiate all of it into the Blood of Christ to defeat Valak. | |

| The Nun II / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The movie portrays the Palais des Papes at Avignon as still being owned by the Catholic Church in 1956 and housing a vast collection of Church Archives. In reality, it has been the property of the French state since Napoleonic times and a national museum since 1906. | |

Yin-Yang Bomb: Valak's goal is to become this by absorbing the Eyes of Saint Lucy's holy power, thus regaining the might it lost when God cast it out of Heaven. In a terrifying moment, it actually succeeds, even manifesting a halo during the brief moment before it is defeated | |

Kids Are Cruel: The three girls who are always picking on Sophie. In their first scene, they are seen putting cockroaches into Mother Laurent's room while she is praying at the shrine she made for her dead son. Then they are shown stealing the friendship bracelet that Sophie made for Maurice, and when Maurice asks them to give it back, they say that they don't have to listen to him because he's just a custodian. Later on, they lock Sophie inside the chapel where she is soon attacked by Valak. | |

Maurice will also have to survive the film, since he is the subject of an exorcism by the Warrens in 1970s. Therefore, the viewers will know that he doesn't really die when Irene touches him with the Eyes of Saint Lucy in the third act. | |

| The Nun II / int_75c33176 | comment |
Saved by Canon: Once again, the attempt to defeat Valak for good is doomed to fail, since it will eventually return to the human world to cause the Enfield Poltergeist twenty years later. While Irene and Debra do manage to banish it to Hell, it is implied that it will return through Maurice once again. Maurice will also have to survive the film, since he is the subject of an exorcism by the Warrens in 1970s. Therefore, the viewers will know that he doesn't really die when Irene touches him with the Eyes of Saint Lucy in the third act. | |

Kill It with Fire: The first kill of the movie is that of a priest being burned to death while suspended in the air by Valak. Valak tries to do the same thing to Irene in the climax, but she comes out unscathed and manages to turn the tables on it by praying for God to immolate Valak, banishing it to Hell. | |

| The Nun II / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: When Sophie encounters Valak in the school, she sees it standing from the far side of the corridor of the Warrens' house... on a whole different continent, 21 years in the future.note The scene uses archive footage from The Conjuring 2, specifically when Lorraine Warren dreamed of Valak appearing in her home. In the same vein, a painting of Valak appears in the school in a later scene. This is the same painting that Ed Warren would create in The Conjuring 2, after seeing Valak in his dreams. | |

Crisis of Faith: Sister Debra, being a black woman who grew up in 1950s America, admits that is still trying to believe in the existence of a kind and caring God, and accompanies Irene precisely so she can see a true miracle being done. Her wish is eventually granted when she sees Irene survive being immolated by Valak. | |
