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
Dream Warriors is without a doubt the best Elm Street sequel. The first 2 dealt with just one main character against Freddy and everyone else thinking they're crazy. But of course, after a while people start realizing they're all dreaming about Freddy. And If he can use their dreams against them, they can also use their dreams against him. Brilliant!
This is where the deaths became more elaborate and Freddy started to spout out catchy one-liners. A lot of people resent this film for starting the whole 'joker Freddy' trend, but this has just the right amount of Freddy wit to still have him be scary and threatening, which really he is.
This is the most exciting, thrilling, imaginative Freddy movie of the bunch. You have to see it to believe it.
My Rating: 6.5/10
