Revealing: When the glove comes up the car seat and into Porter's chest, there are lights from buildings out the side window, so the car isn't moving at all. When it cuts, there's suddenly a hill where the lights should be and now the car is moving again.

Continuity: When Nancy asks Dylan "What is that?" and Dylan answers "Rex," the book is on the bed. When they crawl under the sheet, the book is gone.

Continuity: When Freddy cuts through the sheet before entering reality you see him making a large cut in the sheet. On the next shot, the sheet is only cut in face level.

Continuity: Heather follows the sleeping pills (bread crumbs) into Dylan's room. She has the pills in her right hand and the kitchen knife in the left. She picks up two pills then reaches for the one on the pillow. She reaches for it with her index finger and thumb her hand closed but when they show the close up on her hand she picks it up with her middle finger and thumb with her hand open.

Continuity: When we see Porter through the windshield of his car, there is no blood on his shirt. When it cuts, the shirt is covered in blood.

Other: When Julie is being dragged by Freddy on the ceiling you see traces of blood where she has been dragged. But there is also blood in front of her where she hasn't been dragged yet.

Continuity: Towards the end of the film Nancy takes a big kitchen knife to fight Freddy with. When she is falling into Freddy's lair from her son's bed, she clearly has nothing in her hands. However, as she emerges from the water she has fallen in, the knife appears in her left hand.

Continuity: At the hospital when Nancy says "Dylan, you have to fight it", it cuts during the sentence. First Dylan is looking at Heather, but when it cuts he is looking down.

Continuity: When Julie puts Dylan down and Dylan says "Mommy, stay home then", between shots Julie goes from having her right hand on her hip, and her left arm down by her side, to having her left hand on her hip and her right arm down by her side.

Continuity: Heather goes to the hospital after she is cut by Freddy and the doctor bandages her up. The bandage goes to the middle of her arm then later when she falls into Freddy's world from her son's bed the bandage is around her wrist only and there are no scratches where the bandage should be.
