Dream Warriors is like the Avengers of 80’s slashers, a group of likable and remarkable people, with incredible powers, team up to fight an all powerful villain with an all powerful glove lol
Good point. And to the other comments here, no one said being a security guard is bad. But if you were a cop, security is definitely viewed as a step down.
I love the Dokken story when they were makin the Dream Warriors music video. There’s a scene where George Lynch breaks through a wall and busts out a kick ass solo, but he was so coked out of his mind that he couldn’t burst through the break away wall. Apparently Robert Englund had to like throw George through the damn wall and film the scene. Also they were cutting coke with Freddy’s gloves.
I still think the first 2 are more interesting as films on their own, but this does everything right as a sequel in a slasher franchise. More creative kills/set pieces, more boobs, a clever worthwhile expansion of the killers mythology, and a continuation of a previous final girl’s character arc.
@@kdusel1991 I grew up watching all of these plus shit ton of other horror films. I own 1000+ plus blu-ray films and one of my cherished collections is the Complete 7-Film A Nightmare on Elm Street Collection set. I love them all including Part 2. My least favorite was Part 5: The Dream Child.
Does anyone else have a nightmare that involves being in school again? It’s either I find out I had a class I wasn’t attending to, that I forgot I had, or I’m just failing all together. Lol it’s so strange. But I get those once in a while.
Atleast twice a year. It's weird, even tho I went thru college. It's always about this one year I went to night school for my hs junior year. But it's also college? Dreams be weird.
Yes! And seeing so many other people that have had the exact same dream about school is freaking me out right now! Always a class i haven't attended in months, or an exam I didn't study for.
I used to have these dreams as well but it stopped around the time I landed a job I was able to call a career. Before that, I was working dead end jobs
My absolute favorite Nightmare by far. The pysch ward idea is so well done. Incredible kills, memorable scenes. I remember seeing the vhs box in rental stores with snake freddy and was so intrigued. Great review !!
Update: I did a commentary track for Nightmare on Elm Street 2 on patreon www.patreon.com/posts/nightmare-on-elm-83408692 If you're wondering why skipped 2 it's because I did a solo review for it AND interviewed the director at the end of another episode.

I don't hate part 2, but the thing that irritates me about it is what Freddy was capable of in this film. If Freddy was able to possess people and become a powerful threat in the physical realm, he could've taken out all the elm street kids in 2 movies instead of multiple(body hopping like "Shocker") . That 1 issue aside, I like it as Standalone movie.

Those dreams about being back in school, I don't think they ever stop. I'm 44, and still have dreams about being in high school and missing a test, not being able to find the classroom, or not having my homework. Sometimes the dreams will take place in college or graduate school, but with the same basic idea.
54:04 I never noticed this until later, John Saxon has security guard patches on his uniform, and I've never seen it pointed out on RUclips. It's probably hard to see in the original copies of the film but in remastered ones you can see it.
Those high school dreams never go away, 38 and I still get them once in awhile. Funny thing is when I do get those dreams, I've had them so many times over the years that I always end up realizing I am in a dream and don't even need to wake up from it to move onto a different dream. Something always ticks in middle of worrying about a test or homework or whatever the scenario is and I'm like oh yeah, I graduated already and I don't have to be here and deal with this bs anymore. Then I just walk out of the dream into another one, but man is it always such sweet relief the moment you realize it's a dream and you're not actually there anymore. I tend to be a lucid dreamer, but that is the one type of dream that I am always able to realize that I'm currently dreaming and instantly the stress from it goes away. I think we all get those dreams still because it's such an awkward time where you're not a kid, but not an adult either and you have all sorts of things pulling you in both directions as you simultaneously want to grow up and be an adult as you also desperately hold on to the last parts of being a kid with minimal responsibility and being able to enjoy the simpler things in life. So it's like the stress of adulthood, but mixed with the childish side of being afraid of getting in trouble for doing something wrong and not wanting to get singled out by an authority figure that more or less is quite a bipolar experience as far the range of good and bad emotions being flooded at us during those years. Essentially for both good students or bad students, the high school experience is just solid nightmare fuel that engrains to our brain on such a deep a level while were still developing as a person that even when several years removed our brain doesn't forget the trauma of it all and when were at our most venerable sleeping those old insecurities flare up regardless if you were thinking about high school or not prior to sleeping.
This one was always my favorite of the franchise! I always remember loving the tv kill! Also it's great to see Casey and Jess in the store! Plus Space Cat!!
Unless they got rid of it since I was last there, which was 07 or early 08, the TV prop with Freddy's arms and head sits inside of a Planet Hollywood in NYC.
Awesome review as always 😀 BTW: Snake-Freddy is in it's correct color in FvJ. It's only green in Nightmare 3 because the studio said it looks too much like a D!ck, so it was color-corrected to green 🙂
Im excited I actually got to see the wish master two review with the director. Cuz the whole wishmaster is a favorite of mine and this movie , new nightmare and freddy's dead are my three favorite elm street films
Is this going to be a Tony from Hack the Movies GB Afterlife bait and switch? A cheerful title followed by a seething , hangry dissection of a fan favorite? I guess we'll just have to tune in to find out!
i still love Elm Street 3 ever since i saw a sneak preview making of special on HBO back in the day. That and the death of Nancy was the saddest thing ever in horror movie history. Kristen holding Nancy in her arms and trying to promise to dream Nancy in a beautiful dream
I thought for many years that this was the second greatest Nightmare film but the second film has surpassed that now for me. They should never have killed Nancy’s father in this film
"That guy" interviewing Zsa Zsa is Dick Cavett. He is pretty famous himself (having famous interviews with John Lennon et al) and was considered Carson's main competition for quite a while.
"who wants a house out in hackensack, is that all you get for your money" is the rest of that billy joel lyric. I know this because i was rased in hackesack, and it was all I used to hear growing up
I had a freddy dream. An earthquake happened and i fell in a big crack that opened up in ground and I got wedged upside down in the crevasse and then the two sides if the rocks i was stuck between ,turned into his hands and he crushed me.
I'm glad so many people love the Blob remake. I haven't seen it in at least 25 years, but I saw it in the theater when I was 13'ish and I loved it. Then HBO showed it for like the next Summer, but then I feel like it just kinda got forgotten. I remember loving it in the theater, and then I watched it several times on HBO. It does everything good horror movies should do, starting with the setting: a small American town. Tremors did this, making the town even smaller and more secluded. Arachnophobia went even further with a house in the middle of the country.
I had a Freddy dream too, but his claws were like how wolverines used to be not the adamantium ones the bone ones and Freddy like was able to shoot them and it went into my back and I woke up
i had a freddy dream once too. a long time ago. in the dream i was at some gas station in the middle of nowhere. it was night, of course. i asked to use the phone in the office. i went into the office and closed the door. picked up the phone. made a joke about freddy mouth coming out of the phone. laughed a little and said, "that would be scary if i were dreaming." then got a really really cold feeling of realization... and i could just feel him outside the doors and windows. i was like "NOPE". and woke up.
The back in school dreams end around 40 ish, maybe replaced by work related dreams where you miss work or you're late etc. Mine were replaced by zombie apocalypse "Old man Logan" style dreams where it's after things die down and it's me solo just grabbing supplies and you never see a single zombie because at that point they're slow and rotted to bits. Nightmare 3 was peak for me though it's tough to say because I love them all. The cast is real fun when they show up at panels etc. The phallic Freddy worm was fantastic, and how they had to repaint it because it basically looks like a d!ck lmao and shot the worm in reverse, then played it backwards because the worm collapsed and wouldn't work. Also the pig they used was real and it started to stink up the set. The original script, which you can find online was also way darker and involves a scene where Freddy goes through Kincaid, who's stuck in a wall, arm deep and exits his mouth. Now that's a colonoscopy from hell lmaoo. I'm done rambling lol I'm just chock full of useless Elm street and Jason facts Anyone else get fooled by the fake Dream Warriors 80's cartoon video on RUclips? It almost seems like a real cartoon lmao. Anyways, that's my two Bison dollars on the matter.
I recently watched all the Nightmare movies (except FvJ and remake), having only seen the 1st and 2nd, and they absolutely peaked with this one. Dream Warriors was fun and would've been a great send off.
Tony from Hack the movies.. despite what we the home audience saw, Freddy never came into the real world and killed a bunch of kids at a pool party, Jesse Walsh went nuts, put on a Freddy glove and killed a bunch of classmates at a pool party
I used to have dreams of being in high school again, and realizing there was a whole class i was not attending for like months, and now i was having to take a final and had no idea what the class was all about. I was like 34 when i was having those dreams, and i would wake up like WTF.
YES, Nancy's REALLY Dr. Loomis now;) I always loved that it was her love for her dad that Freddy used against her, she was totally willing to die to protect the others, and of course the moment Freddy saw her again--"YOU..."!! But of COURSE it isn't HER having the new gift to pull people into her dreams and seeing Amanda...as she SHOULD have for CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:/ Okay, then for 'Freddy's Revenge' and 'New Nightmare' until and unless they get new reviews here: FREDDY'S REVENGE: The look, music, dream imagery, and Freddy acting like a poltergeist really are creative, but they're totally in vain because it's not happening to Nancy! Including Jesse's Nike Air sneakers, Levi's, white-T-shirt, and grey sweatshirt...they belong on HER;) NEW NIGHTMARE: This time Nancy's getting her Karen Barclay on! Wes was mixing 'Child's Play', 'Poltergeist', and 'Amityville Horror' big time:):) When John Saxon turns around and is dressed as Don Thompson is so great...but MAN, HEATHER should've been the one everyone was thinking was going crazy while he and Robert were worrying about her until Wes says they ALL have to become their characters one last time;)
And maybe Dr. Gordon might not have made much progress with Nancy, but he does still get a kiss from her, so he's got that going for him. Until she dies, of course. "What a rush" was also a line reused by Hawk of The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom tag team. You can even hear him say the line at the beginning of their WWF theme song from the early 90s.
i studied dream psychology and theory for a really long time. there is this thing called "a group psychosis" in group counseling. where patients share delusions. in this case, dreams. people who got together and talked about their dreams regularly started to share the same dreams. it's pretty interesting.
24:56 Shows 3 things 1 Jess' age 2 Casey COMPLETE RESTRAINT FROM CORRECTING SOMEONE WHILE THEY MAKE A FAUX-PA And 3 Tonys ability to simultaneously listen to, answer a question from, and assess the faces of his guest all in a matter of seconds It is complete gold Sorry Jess I love ya but that was rough 😅
if you think about it, nancy got tricked by freddy twice. "i don't believe in you anymore..." *everything happy and bright* freddy going "SYKE! I'M THE CAR!" and then in this one with the dad bit.
46mg How much caffeine is in Diet Coke? People are often surprised when they learn that the amount of caffeine in Coke or Diet Coke is much less than in the same-sized coffee. Coke's caffeine content is 34mg for a 12-oz can, and Diet Coke caffeine content is 46mg. That's three to four times less than coffee!
You mentioned the second death for her being in the TV, but I think the first one was just as bad really. I believe somewhere they mention the setup and that the doors are locked, but he just phases through the door to get to the tower to jump off. It should be impossible without some major mistakes happening on the staffs part for it to happen. I never really thought much about the skeleton, I don't think all that much was probably put into it, but since he wasn't strong yet from a lack of fear initially, the skeleton was already in a spot where he couldn't get out I guess? That'd be kind of a fun scene of him trying for the first time, getting nowhere. Otherwise, it kind of comes down to, "How does Freddy know he can inhabit his bones?", which then leads into simply moving if he could escape, so he couldn't be killed.
I remember hearing that since Wes Craven wanted this film to be the last, it wasn’t supposed to be Freddy turning on the model house light at the end. It was supposed to be Nancy watching over Neil. End the trilogy of films on a high note. It makes sense since Kristen used her power to dream her into a wonderous place as she died and the light comes from Nancy’s room.
3 and 4 are the best sequels to me. I always mix up the two in my head, due to my tradition of spanning all the horror classic series' over the 31 days of October. However, whichever one has the comic book artist get sliced and the snobby beauty queen getting fed herself... THAT'S my favorite Elm St. sequel.
I can't tell you where the wheelchair is at now. But I do know I seen it in planet Nashville in like 97. They had Jason's suit and mask from Jason goes to hell as well.
The reason for the different voice pitches of Freddy is a result of them adjusting the speed & tempo of sound bites in order to make his voice higher or deeper depending on the context. Robert's talked about this in interviews.
The one part of the movie that I really liked was the stop-motion Freddy that moved as if he was animated by the people who made Nightmare Before Christmas.
My friends and I met Robert back in 2016, we had a blonde mannequin head that he snatched from my hand, just before we had our picture taken he held "Where's the Bourbon, B*tch?!" Then the next day he signed the Picture with that quote, didn't have to pay for the autograph
Do you know how thick the glass on an old CRT TV is?! If it was an attempted suicide it would be a running start, jump, *THUNK*, and Larry finding her heavily concussed and bleeding on the floor.
Whenever I rewatch elm street flicks, i usually just watch the Nancy Thompson trilogy(ANOES,Dream Warriors &New Nightmare). Plus can't go wrong with those 2 Dokken songs 🤘🤘
Even though he gets the main credit, most of the music in "Dream Warriors" was not composed by Angelo Badalamenti. Most of what's heard in the movie was composed by Ken Harrison, who is credited in the end titles. This goes a long way to explain why Badalamenti absolutely refused to discuss this movie. And frankly, I've heard Badalamenti's full unused score for the movie-- it isn't very good. What's in the movie works a lot better. Elaine's date-- "Elaine, where do ya keep the bourbon?"... that's Robert Englund's real voice. While you guys may not have thought Nancy and Neil were an item in the film, in the script Wes Craven wrote, they were in fact together and do fuck at one point. There's a lot of stuff in Frank Darabount and Chuck Russell's script (that they made the film from) that has stuff that came from Wes' script but doesn't really pan out in their iteration. Freddy doesn't say "bitch" at all in the first or second movie. This is its debut. He doesn't swear in the first movie but he drops an f-bomb in the second movie. They didn't use the Nurse-Freddy thing because it "looked weird." They didn't use it because it was just too damned disturbing seeing Freddy's face on a beautiful chick's body. There are pictures of her with the makeup on and if you just look at the face, you can't tell it's not Robert Englund. But they just found it too upsetting, so they used what's in the movie now. Regarding the TV series-- it's not the same Freddy from the movies. The TV series and the movies are irreconcilable with one another (the TV series says Freddy was 18 in 1970. In the movies, by 1970, Freddy was either already dead or was expecting the birth of his daughter, depending on when you think Freddy died--1968 or 1974). There are four different Freddy Krueger characters: Movie Freddy (Nightmare 1-6 and Freddy vs. Jason), TV Freddy (Freddy's Nightmares), Fake Demon Freddy (New Nightmare), and Remake Freddy. Freddy's voice is all over the place because there was no time for real post-production in the movie. They finished shooting the movie in late January of 1987 and it opened on February 27th, 1987. So they just didn't have time to go in and change every single piece of Englund's dialogue. What you're calling "Voice 2," that's the real voice Englund uses when he plays Freddy live while shooting. What you're calling "Voice 1" is how it sounds after they tamper with it in post-production to make it more demonic and scary. But there just wasn't time enough to hit it all because of the brief turnaround from finishing shooting to theatrical release. The focus on Christianity in "Dream Warriors" is there because Chuck Russell is Catholic, and he co-wrote the movie. Don Thompson, sadly, is no longer a lieutenant (he was never sheriff). If you look carefully at his shoulder patches, you'll see he's now a security guard. Elaine comes back in Nightmare 4 presumably because she was killed in Kristen's dream, not her own dream (and Kristen is dreaming of her mom, not pulling her into her dream). No, Taryn's exploding head just plain didn't work. They figured it out; the prop just didn't work right. I have some behind the scenes shot-on-set footage and in it, they get the take ready and then the fake head's eyes just splat white and that's all it does. Whoever's shooting the footage pulls the camera back and you can see Englund walking off, shaking his head in dismay. Nightmare 3 was NOT a big-budget Hollywood movie. It was an independent film made for 4.5 million dollars. New Line Cinema wouldn't become a "Hollywood studio" until around the early-to-mid-90s. They were still independent at this point and they kept making these movies because it's all they had. It's not fair to compare the stop-motion here to the stop motion in "Jason and the Argonauts." Ray Harryhausen had like 2 years to make that film. The effects guys here had like 2 months. And yes, it is, what's called rotoscoped. They rear projected the model one frame at a time against the live film. When they shot the scenes live, they DID have Robert Englund performing the Freddy skeleton's actions, though. And no, "The Terminator" had a bigger budget than this movie with 6.4 million. And "Robocop's" budget was 13.7 million. As mentioned above, Nightmare 3's budget was 4.5 million (according to producer Rachel Talalay). And the Freddy skeleton don't groan at the end of that scene--he's laughing. It is NOT a team effort that kills Freddy in the movie. Freddy is solely killed by a sucker punch from the real world. Nothing that was happening to Freddy in the dream was effective at all. Nancy stabbing Freddy with his glove was nothing but an annoyance (it meant something in the script Wes wrote, but in Darabount/Russell's script, it's just a carryover with no significance). At any rate, the movie winds up undermining its whole damn point! It is definitely meant to be Freddy in the last scene. Listen and you'll hear a miniature-ized version of his knives scraping against metal from within. The girl killed by Freddy's kiss is Nightmare 4, not 5. It's not really right to say "Wes wrote this one." He wrote a draft of it and that draft was rejected (and rightfully so; it's just awful and all over the place). Frank Darabount and Chuck Russell wrote this movie. All Wes and his writer came up with was the core idea of a group of kids ganging up on Freddy. I love "Freddy's Dead" too cause I like to have fun and any time anyone badmouths that movie, all I hear from them is "I hate fun."
I saw the first four films as part of a marathon at the cinema. When the door appears in part 3 and Kincaid says "it's a door", everyone burst out laughing.
Dream Warriors is like the Avengers of 80’s slashers, a group of likable and remarkable people, with incredible powers, team up to fight an all powerful villain with an all powerful glove lol

The Never Sleep Again documentary is fantastic. 4 hours goes by very quickly with that doc
Isn't James (AVGN) on that doc?
There is a 6 and a half hour extended cut of that documentary free on RUclips.
This and Nightmare 4 were the ones that made me a Freddy Krueger fan. The characters were great, the kills were creative, and Freddy was fantastic.
Same!
Me too. It’s definitely my favourite nightmare movie, not favourite sequel, favourite period.
An overlooked detail is that Nancy's dad isn't a cop anymore. He's wearing a uniform but it says "Security". He's at rock bottom.
Ouch, man, gotta kick the securities down xD
Security can be a lucrative career if you work at it. Armed guards make pretty good money.
Fun fact Donald later changed his name to Strycher and moved to Florida to become the cheif of police at Nightmare Beach
Good point. And to the other comments here, no one said being a security guard is bad. But if you were a cop, security is definitely viewed as a step down.
I've always thought that John Saxon looked like Nick Dimitri.

Is this going to be a Tony from Hack the Movies GB Afterlife bait and switch? A cheerful title followed by a seething , hangry dissection of a fan favorite? I guess we'll just have to tune in to find out!
i still love Elm Street 3 ever since i saw a sneak preview making of special on HBO back in the day. That and the death of Nancy was the saddest thing ever in horror movie history. Kristen holding Nancy in her arms and trying to promise to dream Nancy in a beautiful dream
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 definitely deserves a video as well.

@@justindenney-hall5875 I just recorded a commentary track for it.
Everyone losing their minds over Space Cat. An instant fan favorite.
Is Space Cat the new Mint Salad?
I thought for many years that this was the second greatest Nightmare film but the second film has surpassed that now for me.
They should never have killed Nancy’s father in this film
Nice. I yell "Fooled You" in the Dark Helmet voice every time I watch that dad fake out
Spacecat cameo steals the show, top notch meow 🎉
Great movie. Can't wait to hear y'all's review and learn some new trivia about my favorite nightmare movie
Tony looks like a big, strong Italian man, but i think that Mint Salad could whoop him in a fight. 🤣
🎉🎉🎉 I will win at Cringe Clash 2024! -mint
Your cat is very cute Tony, very fluffy 10/10, would try to pet
Any video with a cute kitty in it is instantly more awesome!!
"That guy" interviewing Zsa Zsa is Dick Cavett. He is pretty famous himself (having famous interviews with John Lennon et al) and was considered Carson's main competition for quite a while.
Casey, Jess, Tony, and Space Cat are the real Dream Warriors. Sadly, we're missing The Dream Master Crystal.
"who wants a house out in hackensack, is that all you get for your money" is the rest of that billy joel lyric. I know this because i was rased in hackesack, and it was all I used to hear growing up
I love this movie and soundtrack!
Er, maybe I did back in the day? (Haven't watched, or listened to, this since it came out. I could me wrong...)
I had a freddy dream. An earthquake happened and i fell in a big crack that opened up in ground and I got wedged upside down in the crevasse and then the two sides if the rocks i was stuck between ,turned into his hands and he crushed me.
So happy to hear you’re still going to do the F13 remake. Space Cat gets it.
Just watching some old rental review I think ya should do the three stooges movie
Maybe he'll get James to do that with him.
Tony keeps calling him Fish(Born).
HELL YEAH definitely my #1 Favorite Film in the ELM STREET Franchise 😃🤘☠️
10/10 for space cat, who at this point is much more famous than Tony.
Totally simping for Casey and Jess
I'm glad so many people love the Blob remake. I haven't seen it in at least 25 years, but I saw it in the theater when I was 13'ish and I loved it. Then HBO showed it for like the next Summer, but then I feel like it just kinda got forgotten. I remember loving it in the theater, and then I watched it several times on HBO. It does everything good horror movies should do, starting with the setting: a small American town. Tremors did this, making the town even smaller and more secluded. Arachnophobia went even further with a house in the middle of the country.
That cat sound was hilarious.....like an old lady cat!!!😂
I had a Freddy dream too, but his claws were like how wolverines used to be not the adamantium ones the bone ones and Freddy like was able to shoot them and it went into my back and I woke up
i had a freddy dream once too. a long time ago. in the dream i was at some gas station in the middle of nowhere. it was night, of course. i asked to use the phone in the office. i went into the office and closed the door. picked up the phone. made a joke about freddy mouth coming out of the phone. laughed a little and said, "that would be scary if i were dreaming." then got a really really cold feeling of realization... and i could just feel him outside the doors and windows. i was like "NOPE". and woke up.
The back in school dreams end around 40 ish, maybe replaced by work related dreams where you miss work or you're late etc. Mine were replaced by zombie apocalypse "Old man Logan" style dreams where it's after things die down and it's me solo just grabbing supplies and you never see a single zombie because at that point they're slow and rotted to bits. Nightmare 3 was peak for me though it's tough to say because I love them all. The cast is real fun when they show up at panels etc. The phallic Freddy worm was fantastic, and how they had to repaint it because it basically looks like a d!ck lmao and shot the worm in reverse, then played it backwards because the worm collapsed and wouldn't work. Also the pig they used was real and it started to stink up the set. The original script, which you can find online was also way darker and involves a scene where Freddy goes through Kincaid, who's stuck in a wall, arm deep and exits his mouth. Now that's a colonoscopy from hell lmaoo. I'm done rambling lol I'm just chock full of useless Elm street and Jason facts Anyone else get fooled by the fake Dream Warriors 80's cartoon video on RUclips? It almost seems like a real cartoon lmao. Anyways, that's my two Bison dollars on the matter.
You had it right the 1st time. Remember Sister Act II : Back in the HABIT? There you go.
I recently watched all the Nightmare movies (except FvJ and remake), having only seen the 1st and 2nd, and they absolutely peaked with this one. Dream Warriors was fun and would've been a great send off.
Craven only came back to get involved with this one for that specific purpose, because this was supposed to be the last one.
The marionette scene is so good
Ah yes…Mariska Hart-o-gay & Larry Fish-born 😂
Tony cannot pronounce any words or names properly, which is why this show exists.
I'm a Pepsi person too, Casey.
Tony from Hack the movies.. despite what we the home audience saw, Freddy never came into the real world and killed a bunch of kids at a pool party, Jesse Walsh went nuts, put on a Freddy glove and killed a bunch of classmates at a pool party
Mummy Cop season 3!
Yes this needs to happen!
Dokken is pronounced like dock-in
Oh my goodness Space Cat is so **FLOOFY** !!!!! 😻😻😻
And crabby!!! 😻
This podcast was just really funny. When I saw the TV kill I was saying, how the hell was it a suicide as well
This was the first Nightmare film I saw. Seen it at the theatre and after rented the first two.
I used to have dreams of being in high school again, and realizing there was a whole class i was not attending for like months, and now i was having to take a final and had no idea what the class was all about. I was like 34 when i was having those dreams, and i would wake up like WTF.
YES, Nancy's REALLY Dr. Loomis now;) I always loved that it was her love for her dad that Freddy used against her, she was totally willing to die to protect the others, and of course the moment Freddy saw her again--"YOU..."!! But of COURSE it isn't HER having the new gift to pull people into her dreams and seeing Amanda...as she SHOULD have for CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:/
Okay, then for 'Freddy's Revenge' and 'New Nightmare' until and unless they get new reviews here:
FREDDY'S REVENGE:
The look, music, dream imagery, and Freddy acting like a poltergeist really are creative, but they're totally in vain because it's not happening to Nancy! Including Jesse's Nike Air sneakers, Levi's, white-T-shirt, and grey sweatshirt...they belong on HER;)
NEW NIGHTMARE:
This time Nancy's getting her Karen Barclay on! Wes was mixing 'Child's Play', 'Poltergeist', and 'Amityville Horror' big time:):) When John Saxon turns around and is dressed as Don Thompson is so great...but MAN, HEATHER should've been the one everyone was thinking was going crazy while he and Robert were worrying about her until Wes says they ALL have to become their characters one last time;)
I don't think Nancy was "willing to die" that lead to her death. It was a straight up trick that she should've seen coming.
Love this episode 😄
And maybe Dr. Gordon might not have made much progress with Nancy, but he does still get a kiss from her, so he's got that going for him. Until she dies, of course. "What a rush" was also a line reused by Hawk of The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom tag team. You can even hear him say the line at the beginning of their WWF theme song from the early 90s.
i studied dream psychology and theory for a really long time. there is this thing called "a group psychosis" in group counseling. where patients share delusions. in this case, dreams. people who got together and talked about their dreams regularly started to share the same dreams. it's pretty interesting.

Shows 3 things
1 Jess' age
2 Casey COMPLETE RESTRAINT FROM CORRECTING SOMEONE WHILE THEY MAKE A FAUX-PA
And 3
Tonys ability to simultaneously listen to, answer a question from, and assess the faces of his guest all in a matter of seconds
It is complete gold
Sorry Jess I love ya but that was rough 😅
Just finished watching, its the best one
I think Space cats thoughts on the movie are purrr-fict!!
if you think about it, nancy got tricked by freddy twice. "i don't believe in you anymore..." *everything happy and bright* freddy going "SYKE! I'M THE CAR!" and then in this one with the dad bit.
it'd be funny if in the bar scene, once dad and neil leave on their "adventure", barstow was like "pff... again?"
Dinner,Dinner, Dinner, Dinner, Dinner!!!!!!!

How much caffeine is in Diet Coke? People are often surprised when they learn that the amount of caffeine in Coke or Diet Coke is much less than in the same-sized coffee. Coke's caffeine content is 34mg for a 12-oz can, and Diet Coke caffeine content is 46mg. That's three to four times less than coffee!
You mentioned the second death for her being in the TV, but I think the first one was just as bad really. I believe somewhere they mention the setup and that the doors are locked, but he just phases through the door to get to the tower to jump off. It should be impossible without some major mistakes happening on the staffs part for it to happen.
I never really thought much about the skeleton, I don't think all that much was probably put into it, but since he wasn't strong yet from a lack of fear initially, the skeleton was already in a spot where he couldn't get out I guess? That'd be kind of a fun scene of him trying for the first time, getting nowhere. Otherwise, it kind of comes down to, "How does Freddy know he can inhabit his bones?", which then leads into simply moving if he could escape, so he couldn't be killed.
Take Johanna and crystal to dinner
I remember hearing that since Wes Craven wanted this film to be the last, it wasn’t supposed to be Freddy turning on the model house light at the end. It was supposed to be Nancy watching over Neil. End the trilogy of films on a high note.
It makes sense since Kristen used her power to dream her into a wonderous place as she died and the light comes from Nancy’s room.
3 and 4 are the best sequels to me. I always mix up the two in my head, due to my tradition of spanning all the horror classic series' over the 31 days of October. However, whichever one has the comic book artist get sliced and the snobby beauty queen getting fed herself... THAT'S my favorite Elm St. sequel.
That is 5, not even 3 or 4
@@aquaskull2624 5 was the Dream Child. Had the new main actress.
I can't tell you where the wheelchair is at now. But I do know I seen it in planet Nashville in like 97. They had Jason's suit and mask from Jason goes to hell as well.
All the 'females' have betrayed Tony. Johanna betrayed his love, Crystal betrayed his eyes and Trisha betrayed him by being fully Italian. Poor Tony.
He has it rough.
Definitely the best of the series.
I even remember playing the game on a friend's Commodore 64 as a kid.
Thanks for the video!
One of the best sequels ever!!! Taking this film to the grave with me!
Class of 1999 and Space Truckers need a Hack the Movies review.
The reason for the different voice pitches of Freddy is a result of them adjusting the speed & tempo of sound bites in order to make his voice higher or deeper depending on the context. Robert's talked about this in interviews.
The one part of the movie that I really liked was the stop-motion Freddy that moved as if he was animated by the people who made Nightmare Before Christmas.
My friends and I met Robert back in 2016, we had a blonde mannequin head that he snatched from my hand, just before we had our picture taken he held "Where's the Bourbon, B*tch?!" Then the next day he signed the Picture with that quote, didn't have to pay for the autograph
Do you know how thick the glass on an old CRT TV is?! If it was an attempted suicide it would be a running start, jump, *THUNK*, and Larry finding her heavily concussed and bleeding on the floor.
The skeleton isn't bad , especially for the second best elm street flick
Whenever I rewatch elm street flicks, i usually just watch the Nancy Thompson trilogy(ANOES,Dream Warriors &New Nightmare). Plus can't go wrong with those 2 Dokken songs 🤘🤘
Yes or like I call it the "Craven" trilogy since those were the one's he was directly involved with. No surprise that they were the best entries.
Even though he gets the main credit, most of the music in "Dream Warriors" was not composed by Angelo Badalamenti. Most of what's heard in the movie was composed by Ken Harrison, who is credited in the end titles. This goes a long way to explain why Badalamenti absolutely refused to discuss this movie. And frankly, I've heard Badalamenti's full unused score for the movie-- it isn't very good. What's in the movie works a lot better.
Elaine's date-- "Elaine, where do ya keep the bourbon?"... that's Robert Englund's real voice.
While you guys may not have thought Nancy and Neil were an item in the film, in the script Wes Craven wrote, they were in fact together and do fuck at one point. There's a lot of stuff in Frank Darabount and Chuck Russell's script (that they made the film from) that has stuff that came from Wes' script but doesn't really pan out in their iteration.
Freddy doesn't say "bitch" at all in the first or second movie. This is its debut. He doesn't swear in the first movie but he drops an f-bomb in the second movie.
They didn't use the Nurse-Freddy thing because it "looked weird." They didn't use it because it was just too damned disturbing seeing Freddy's face on a beautiful chick's body. There are pictures of her with the makeup on and if you just look at the face, you can't tell it's not Robert Englund. But they just found it too upsetting, so they used what's in the movie now.
Regarding the TV series-- it's not the same Freddy from the movies. The TV series and the movies are irreconcilable with one another (the TV series says Freddy was 18 in 1970. In the movies, by 1970, Freddy was either already dead or was expecting the birth of his daughter, depending on when you think Freddy died--1968 or 1974). There are four different Freddy Krueger characters: Movie Freddy (Nightmare 1-6 and Freddy vs. Jason), TV Freddy (Freddy's Nightmares), Fake Demon Freddy (New Nightmare), and Remake Freddy.
Freddy's voice is all over the place because there was no time for real post-production in the movie. They finished shooting the movie in late January of 1987 and it opened on February 27th, 1987. So they just didn't have time to go in and change every single piece of Englund's dialogue. What you're calling "Voice 2," that's the real voice Englund uses when he plays Freddy live while shooting. What you're calling "Voice 1" is how it sounds after they tamper with it in post-production to make it more demonic and scary. But there just wasn't time enough to hit it all because of the brief turnaround from finishing shooting to theatrical release.
The focus on Christianity in "Dream Warriors" is there because Chuck Russell is Catholic, and he co-wrote the movie.
Don Thompson, sadly, is no longer a lieutenant (he was never sheriff). If you look carefully at his shoulder patches, you'll see he's now a security guard.
Elaine comes back in Nightmare 4 presumably because she was killed in Kristen's dream, not her own dream (and Kristen is dreaming of her mom, not pulling her into her dream).
No, Taryn's exploding head just plain didn't work. They figured it out; the prop just didn't work right. I have some behind the scenes shot-on-set footage and in it, they get the take ready and then the fake head's eyes just splat white and that's all it does. Whoever's shooting the footage pulls the camera back and you can see Englund walking off, shaking his head in dismay.
Nightmare 3 was NOT a big-budget Hollywood movie. It was an independent film made for 4.5 million dollars. New Line Cinema wouldn't become a "Hollywood studio" until around the early-to-mid-90s. They were still independent at this point and they kept making these movies because it's all they had.
It's not fair to compare the stop-motion here to the stop motion in "Jason and the Argonauts." Ray Harryhausen had like 2 years to make that film. The effects guys here had like 2 months. And yes, it is, what's called rotoscoped. They rear projected the model one frame at a time against the live film. When they shot the scenes live, they DID have Robert Englund performing the Freddy skeleton's actions, though. And no, "The Terminator" had a bigger budget than this movie with 6.4 million. And "Robocop's" budget was 13.7 million. As mentioned above, Nightmare 3's budget was 4.5 million (according to producer Rachel Talalay). And the Freddy skeleton don't groan at the end of that scene--he's laughing.
It is NOT a team effort that kills Freddy in the movie. Freddy is solely killed by a sucker punch from the real world. Nothing that was happening to Freddy in the dream was effective at all. Nancy stabbing Freddy with his glove was nothing but an annoyance (it meant something in the script Wes wrote, but in Darabount/Russell's script, it's just a carryover with no significance). At any rate, the movie winds up undermining its whole damn point!
It is definitely meant to be Freddy in the last scene. Listen and you'll hear a miniature-ized version of his knives scraping against metal from within.
The girl killed by Freddy's kiss is Nightmare 4, not 5.
It's not really right to say "Wes wrote this one." He wrote a draft of it and that draft was rejected (and rightfully so; it's just awful and all over the place). Frank Darabount and Chuck Russell wrote this movie. All Wes and his writer came up with was the core idea of a group of kids ganging up on Freddy.
I love "Freddy's Dead" too cause I like to have fun and any time anyone badmouths that movie, all I hear from them is "I hate fun."
Please review horror films, I would subscribe ❤
I saw the first four films as part of a marathon at the cinema. When the door appears in part 3 and Kincaid says "it's a door", everyone burst out laughing.
Dinner.
Sorry, bud.
There's reports there might be a Scream 7 so Tony doesn't have to take the girls to a steakhouse.
Space cat. The show has now peaked.
When i think of Larry Fishburne, i think of Peewee Herman. I don't even think about Freddy Krueger.
The '3' on Tony's Elm Street sign is upside down and that's all I can focus on.
