Did You Know?
Trivia | New Line Cinema originally didn't ask Robert Englund to return as Freddy Krueger and refused to give him a pay raise. A stuntman was cast as Freddy at the start of production. After two weeks of filming, Robert Shaye realized this was a terrible lapse in judgment, fired the stuntman, hired Englund, and met his demands. See more » |
Goofs | There is an instance in which the same scene is used twice: after the gym fight when Grady and Jesse are holding the push-ups pose in the field, as punishment (at around 10 mins). This is the same scene used for when Jesse insults Schneider in the locker room (at around 28 minutes). The same people pass behind the fence. See more » |

Do-Gooder: [holding his hands up, walking to Freddy] Just tell us what you want, all right? I'm here to help you. Freddy Krueger: Help yourself, fucker! [as Freddy slices his shoulder and throws him against the flaming barbecue pit] See more » |
