What the heck is up with this?

I have seen the original Halloween a gazillion times, and at the end that Loomis Dude shoots Michael Myers six times and he falls over the balcony railing and onto the lawn. Just last night I saw Halloween 2 and at the beginning of the movie they show the ending of the original film again but this time he doesn't just fall over the balcony railing. In fact, it looks like Michael levitates into the air and falls off the balcony but at the heighth level of the balcony railing.

Does this violate some law of physics or gravity or something?
