Cool Information:
When the clay puppet face turns into Freddy's, special-effects man Doug Beswick used stop-motion animation. Filming began with a clay Freddy face that was made plainer in each frame. The result was then run backwards, and that is what appears in the final cut of the film.
Freddy Krueger's famous line, "Welcome to prime time, bitch!" was actually an improvised line by Robert Englund. The original line was, "You're on TV now, girl!"
The scene in which Neil Gordon (Craig Wasson) is thrown into the grave and partially buried by the skeleton of Freddy is a tribute to Body Double (1984), in which Wasson's character is similarly buried alive.
The movie that on TV that Jennifer watches before she dies is Critters (1986).
Sally Kellerman was originally in the script, as the guest on the Dick Cavett show in scene in which Jennifer dies.
Goofs:
Continuity: Nancy's streak is seen on the right side, when it was on the left side in Nightmare On Elm Street, A (1984).
Continuity: When Freddy lunges at Kristen when she back-flips off the wall, he punches the wall with his fist. But in the close up following, his blades are stuck in the wall.
Continuity: In the junkyard, they park the truck and turn off the lights. A short while later, the lights are back on again when Thompson is trying to get back into the truck.
Audio/visual unsynchronised: When the room starts to change and get hot, Kristen is heard screaming, "This isn't real!" but her mouth does not move.
Continuity: When Freddy and Kristen are fighting in the boiler room, there are some barrels full of bones. Later they disappear.
Continuity: When Freddy moves to kill Taryn with an overdose of drugs, he has hypodermic needles where his fingers would be, at first not all the needles penetrate Taryns skin, some miss the arm completely. In the next shot however, all the needles, including the ones that missed, are in her arm.
Continuity: During the opening titles, while Kristen is making the model of the Elm Street house, the color of her pajamas changes between shots.
Visible crew/equipment: When Will is attacked by the wheelchair, you can see strings pulling it.
Continuity: When Donald is fighting with the skeleton Freddy, it has the claws. But, Nancy's mom took the claws away from him when they buried him.
Alternate Versions and Dokken's: Dream Warriors
Alternate Versions:
On the re-mastered VHS, and the DVD (only available in the boxed-set) versions, when Kristen cranks up the radio at the beginning, the song being played is different from the old VHS versions. The old VHS versions had Warren Zevon's "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead". The new VHS and DVD song is Dokken's "Into The Fire", which has always been listed at the end credits.
On the first VHS release, the music video for the film's title song "Dream Warriors" by Dokken appears after the closing credits.
In the original version of the film (theatrical release and video), the nurse takes off her uniform and she's topless. In the TV version she's wearing a bra.
Banned twice in Sweden (running time 93 and 92 min). Finally passed at 90 min in 1988.
In the TV version, in the scene where the words "Come And Get Him, B*tch" appear on Joey's chest, a bedsheet has been superimposed over the word "B*tch". However, you can still hear the word being scratched into his chest.
ALTERNATE ENDING:
In the original ending Nancy barely survives. After we see Kristen grieving over Nancy's body we see Max going into the meeting rooming. Finding Will and Taryn dead and Kincaid still asleep Max notices Nancy dying and gets help. The funeral scene at the end is than for the kids, not Nancy. As Neil finds out that the nun that has been helping him is Freddy's mother, Nancy appears asking, "Are you ready to leave?" They leave.
The original look for the Freddy snake was denied at the last minute because it looked too much like a v*gina.
Some television versions enhance the text displayed on the computer monitor when Dr. Neil Gordan is researching the drug Hypnocil. This is due to the fact that the text displayed has faded over the years.
Dokken
Dream Warriors
I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Could face the unknown
When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
We're the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name
It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
We're the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
We're the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you
Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
We're the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
