Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Freddy glove that was stolen from the set of this film was found in another movie: it was hanging on the wall of the work shed in Evil Dead II (1987), released the same year. It was part of a continued banter between directors Wes Craven and Sam Raimi. See The Hills Have Eyes (1977), The Evil Dead (1981), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and Evil Dead II (1987) for more.
- GoofsThe white streak in Nancy's hair is seen on her right side, but it was on her left side in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
- Quotes
Freddy Krueger: This is it, Jennifer: your big break in TV.
[Jennifer screams]
Freddy Krueger: Welcome to prime time, bitch!
[smashes her into the TV screen]
- Crazy creditsAll the grips are nicknamed "Bob", except for the last, which is a variation on the name.
- Alternate versionsThe VHS cassette released by Media Home Entertainment in the 1980s and the remastered 1999 New Line Home Video release features a different song in the beginning instead of Dokken's "Into the Fire." The 'unknown' song heard is "Quiet Cool" by Joe Lamont and substituted in place of the Dokken song. The US DVD re-instates the original song back into the film.
Featured review
Nightmare on Elm Street 3 (1987) was the third film in the Freddy Krueger series. This time around a hospital ward full of disturbed teenagers are the latest target for Freddy Krueger. Thanks in large part because the kids can't stop dreaming about the world's most famous serial killer/ child molester turned supernatural monster. Everyone should know by now that he likes to feed off the fear of the wee ones. Now with more people to add to his collection, Freddy decides to play ten little indians with the lot of them. That is until his old nemesis Nancy comes back into town to help the kids fight him off and end the nightmare. Will Nancy and the kids be able to defeat Freddy for good? Find out because this one's too good to pass up.
Not as complex as the last film but highly entertaining. This is the film that has Freddy morphing into his one-liner spewing act that has made him insanely popular. Fun stuff.
Highly recommended.
