Storyline
Did you know
- 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
One of the Best
This is one of the best movies in the series. I like the first movie the best but this is probably number two to me. Great scares, Englund is fantastic as Krueger. The acting is good. Good writing. Everything you would hope for in a movie like this!
