REVIEW
O.K. This was not really my favorite. It's watchable. But, like I said, not my favorite. See it once at least, but I'm not telling you to... Has a boy beening possessed by Krueger (cough) and coming out into the real world (COUGH...GAG!). As I said before, watchable, but not one I would tie around my waist to save myself from drowning (I would with Part 1. HA HA HA HA HA Ha ehhhh.)

Memorable Quotes [Reading Nancy's old diary.]
Lisa: Sometimes when I'm lying here in bed, I see Glen in his window across the way getting ready for bed. His body is slim and smooth, and I know I shouldn't watch him, but that part of me that wants him forces me to. That's when I weaken, that's when I want to go to him.
Freddy Krueger: You've got the body, and I've got the brains.
Freddy Krueger: Kill for me.
Freddy Krueger: Help yourself, fucker.
Jesse: Grady, do you remember your dreams?
Grady: Only the wet ones.
Cool Information Special-effects man Rick Lazzarini created a "demonic parakeet" puppet for the scene in which the Walsh's pet parakeet flies around and explodes. His puppet was not used because they wanted a regular-looking bird.
The original glove from A Nightmare on Elm Street was stolen during filming.
The song "Touch Me", which is being played in Jesse's room is an early, and slightly different version, of Kathy Dennis' top 40 hit from the late 1990's.
This is the only film in the series not to use Charles Bernstein (I)'s original theme, or a variation of it.
In the opening sequence, the bus driver is Robert Englund without the heavy "Fred Krueger" make-up and his signature clothing.
GOOFS
Revealing: At the end of the movie, Jesse and Lisa act a little to quickly when Freddy's hand pops out of the girls stomach.
Continuity: When Jesse's sister gets the plastic fingers, she puts them on her left hand. But in the next shot, they are on her right.
Continuity: When Jesse and Lisa are reading Nancy's diary, Lisa reads the first entry and it talks about Nancy dreaming of Freddy. The next entry that Lisa reads is about Tina being killed. In the first Nightmare, Nancy does not find out Freddy's name until after Tina is dead. The entries in the diary are not in order.
