Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNew 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.
- GoofsThere 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 versionsThe original Australian VHS release features only Christopher Young's main title playing over the end credits.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Stephen King's World of Horror (1986)
Jesse is the new kid in town and he has moved into Nancy Thomson's old house. Not too soon is he having the same horrific nightmares that Nancy was having about Freddy Krueger. Jesse confides in his neighbor/crush, Lisa, she doesn't believe him until she starts having the nightmares herself. She researches Freddy and finds out that he is after Jesse's body and wants to take it over. But she may be too late when he does enter Jesse's body and is after her and all the rest of the kids at Jesse's high school.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge isn't bad, just compared to the series, yeah, it's the worst in that category. The story had something, but it wasn't delivered well. But just think about what A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge was compared too with it's first film that was an ultimate classic. So maybe that's why we have such a problem with the film. But I would recommend it if you wanna see the sequels, but if you're watching it without knowing the first story, I don't think you'll enjoy it.
