    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the opening sequence, the bus driver is Robert Englund without the "Freddy" make-up making it one of the rare instances in the franchise that he appears out of makeup.
    • 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.
    • Quotes
      • [the kid approaches Freddy Krueger around the pool, standing up for the other frightened kids]
      • 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]
    • Alternate versions
      The original Australian VHS release features only Christopher Young's main title playing over the end credits.
