Alternate Versions
The 1996 Elite home video re-release features outtake footage added as a bonus on a separate tape. It's also remixed for surround sound. The scenes on the Elite Limited edition video, there are several extended scenes include:
An extended scene when Rod shows up at Tina's, a small love scene between Nancy and Glen. The two kiss, then she stops it.
A scene between Donald and Marge in the grave yard after Tina's funeral, talking about Fred Krueger and how they "knew" Krueger was dead.
Another Extended scene is in the sheriffs office when Nancy is begging her father, Lt. Donald Thompson, to let her see Rod. (Also seen in one of the original trailers).
A falling dream sequence with Nancy wasn't finished with complete special effects after a test screening. After Glen is sucked into the
bed, and it shoots out blood, his blood soaked body rises up out of the bed, and falls limp. And the scene in the basement when Nancy's mother shows her the claws, she also reveals that Nancy wasn't always an only child, along with every other child on the block, adding a deeper motive not given in the final cut of the film.
There are several different cuts of the ending were lighter on the scares. Originaly Bob Shaye had Wes end the film with the kids getting on the bus, and Freddy turn into the bus driver, and they drive away. (much like the begining of Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)).
The german television is heavily cut, to send it on an earlier timespot. The cuts are:
When Tina is sliced by Freddy Krueger, we don't see, how he slice her back and how she's pulled to the celing.
In Tina's last dream we don't see how Freddy cut his own fingers from his hand. Later, there is a scene where Freddy's face is pulled down by Tina. This scene is also missing.
When Nancy meets Freddy the first time we can't see how he slice his shoulder and how Nancy put her arm on the hot pipe.
When Rod's neck is broken by Freddy Krueger, we only see, how Rod is looking to the ''snake'', before it kills him.
The Scene where the dead Tina is talking to Nancy while snakes are coming out her dress is also cut.
Glen's famous dead scene is also cut. We only see, how he is sucked in his bed. The bloody, second half is cut.
When Nancy is burning Freddy, we only see how the fire is coming to his feet, then we see how Nancy is calling her dad.
The scene where Freddy is killing Nancy's mother by burning her is also cut.
This changes were also made in the german video version wich has an 'not under 16 years' rating. The uncut version is sometimes shown on pay-per-view channels and it's rated 'not under 18 years'.
The region 1 DVD features a slight trim to the scene where Tina is killed in her bedroom. When Kruger drops her from the ceiling, we do not see the slow motion splash of blood that spurts off the matress as her body hits it. This cut is referred to the in DVD audio commentary. The scene is totally uncut in the United Kingdom video versions.
Oddly the new DVD of Elm Street released in the UK now features the slightly trimmed version of the Tina death sequence. As the UK DVD also features the audio commentary from the region 1 edition which references the cut, this may be the reason for using the slightly shorter version. It is also possible then that newer VHS releases may have been duped from the same print.
In the U.S. theatrical trailer, there is a a line dialogue spoken by Donald (John Saxon) trying to justify why it is obvious that Rod (Nick Corri) killed Tina (Amanda Wyss) saying that he was "locked in a room with a girl who went in alive and came out in a rubber bag!"
The older Elite special edition laserdisc and vhs tape had Tina's death totally uncut.
Goofs
Continuity: When Nancy checks her watch she is wearing a short-sleeved nightgown, but the closeup shows a wrist with the end of a long blue sleeve on it.
Continuity: The part in Nancy's hair swaps sides in the scene where her father is talking to get about Tina.
Revealing mistakes: Crash mat visible when Freddy falls over the banister.
Continuity: When Nancy is in the final dream, Freddy is seen wearing his hat, when in fact, she supposedly took it from him in an earlier dream. In the next clip, he is no longer wearing it.
Continuity: In final scene, the girls singing "One, two, Freddy's coming for you" change places between shots.
Continuity: The person who gets up to speak in the classroom is not the same person who was sitting in the same seat in the establishing shot a few seconds earlier.
Continuity: After Glenn leaves through Nancy's window, she shuts it. But, when she looks over at the window, it is open again.
Factual Errors: Evil Dead, The (1981) is playing on Nancy's TV but it does not match the actual movie.
Errors in geography: The movie takes place in some unnamed Midwestern state but when Nancy and her boyfriend are talking on a bridge, there are palm trees in the background.
Revealing mistakes: Crash mat visible when Nancy jumps out of the boiler room and lands in her lawn.
Revealing mistakes: In the beginning when Tina is killed by Freddy, you can see their fake chest lifting when they are moving around.
Continuity: When Freddy is knocked off the stairs one of the razor blades from his fingers has broken off. Yet in the next scene, the blade is back on his finger.
Continuity: When Nancy sneaks Glen back out the bedroom window after she wakes up, the lights are turned off in her bedroom. However, when it shows the house from outside, her bedroom lights are turned on.
Revealing mistakes: When the sheet is coming around Rod's neck to choke him you can see the wire that is pulling it.
Continuity: Throughout the movie, along with all the sequels, Freddy's "razor" glove is on his right hand. When Freddy is chasing Tina, there is a quick shot of him jumping out from behind a small tree and his glove is on his left hand.
Continuity: In a wide shot, when the bars have just been put on the house, the front door window bars are different than the close-up of Nancy on her porch. The closer shot shows a heart shaped design rather than the three-bar pattern of the wide shot.
Revealing mistakes: When Nancy runs up the stairs near the end of the movie, the camera shows a close up of her feet sinking into the "goo" stairs. You can see exactly where she going to put her feet as the "goo" pots are clearly visable.
Revealing mistakes: Obvious stunt double for Nancy when she is pulled underwater. The double also has blonde hair.
Continuity: When Rod is arrested after running down the street, he is doing so barefoot. However, when in the prison cell, he is wearing white trainers.
Continuity: To wake herself up, Nancy smashes the outside of her arm against the boiler. But when she wakes up, the burn mark is on the inside of her wrist.
Continuity: When Nancy pulls the phone out of the socket, the alarm clock by Nancy's bed is gone.
Deliberate "Mistake": As Nancy and Marge are leaving Rod Lane's funeral, you can see the shot speed off. But, the car sort of jerks as the speed increases in the next shot.
Visible crew/equipment: When Nancy goes to see Rod in jail in the dream, watch the centipede that crawls out of Tina's mouth. You can see that it is not Tina that the centipede crawls out of, but a posble doll?
Visible crew/equipment: When Tina is cornered in the very first dream you can see Freddy bending over and getting ready to scare Tina (In Full-Screen Version).
Visible crew/equipment: When Tina gets cut in the stomach (when she dies), you can see her (in slo-mo) grab a piece of latex pad as she grabs her stomach in pain.
Continuity: After the Dream Clinic the next day, Nancy drinks a big cup of coffee. Watch her throat, she doesn't even drink it, and besides, it seems like a lot of coffee to chug.
Continuity: When Nancy wakes up from her dream when Glen was supposed to watch her, she tells Glen to wait outside her window. She shuts it and gets back to bed. After Marge leaves, Nancy notices a feather, which floats out the same window Glen went out, but now it seems to be OPEN!
Continuity: When Glen is talking to Nancy on the phone, he lifts his bedroom curtain up to see Nancy, pushing it to the right. After they hang up, he pulls the curtain down from the left.
Continuity: When Nancy is in the tub, she puts a cloth to her face, with her left hand by the left ear. Next shot, left hand is in the middle of the tub.
