Trivia
On the VHS release, the music video for Dokken's "Dream Warriors" appeared after the credits. The video contains many scenes from the movie and ends when the band vanquishes Freddy, causing him to wake up from his "nightmare," and ask, "Who were those guys?" (despite them telling him the whole song that they're the dream warriors.")

Goofs
The white streak in Nancy's hair is seen on her right side, but it was on her left side in Les Griffes de la nuit (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 credits
All the grips are nicknamed "Bob", except for the last, which is a variation on the name.

Alternate versions
The 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.

Another bunch of kids try to stop Freddy.

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.
