A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) - 36 mistakes

Revealing: When the crazy bird is let out of the cage it starts flying around. Then it explodes in mid-air. A split-second before it explodes you can clearly see the size of the bird increase by about three times.

Visible crew/equipment: When Schneider is being dragged along by two skipping ropes you can clearly see two wires attached to his shoulders which are actually pulling him along.

Revealing: When Gordy gets killed, it cuts to a brief shot of Jesse. When it cuts back to Gordy's body, his head moves.

Revealing: When Jesse is cleaning out his room, he puts a tape into his tape player, and presses a button down on the top of it. But halfway though the scene of him packing his things away, you can clearly see the button is no longer pressed down, yet the tape still plays.

Continuity: When the balls start to bounce of the shelves, in one shot a basketball hits some tennis rackets which are hanging on the wall and a few of the rackets fall off the wall, but in the next shot the tennis rackets are hanging back up on the wall.

Continuity: When the baseball hits Jesse in his head you see the ball hitting him on top of his head and bounce to the left. When it cuts the ball seem to hit him in the back of his head and fall straight down behind him.

Continuity: When Jesse and Lisa first arrive at the boiler room factory, Jesse says to Lisa "How long has it been closed down?" And then Lisa replies. To the left of them you can see a large machine, which Jesse and Lisa are standing well away from. But as the shot changes, they are now standing right beside the machine.

Continuity: When the bus starts to stop, a load of people get up from their seats and walk to the bus doors. But in the outside shot of the bus as it stops, nobody is standing up, and everyone gets up once again, heading for the bus doors.

Plot hole: When Freddy takes over Jesse's body at the party, there are several people watching through the patio doors when he confronts Lisa. None of these people ever make a sound, even when they see Lisa have a knife fight with a horribly disfigured man with long knives coming out of his fingers. The other party goers are completely oblivious to Freddy's presence until he comes jumping through the glass doors.

Revealing: When Jesse and Lisa are reading the diary you see the pages in the diary are clean. Nothing is written in the pages they are reading from.

Continuity: When Jesse and Lisa are reading Nancy's diary, Lisa reads the first entry and it says all about Nancy dreaming of Freddy. The next entry that Lisa reads is about Tina being killed.If you remember in the first Nightmare, Nancy does not find out Freddy's name until after Tina is dead. The entries in the diary are not in order.

Continuity: When Jesse's dad is talking about the air conditioning in Jesse's room, Jesse's sister puts the cereal box on the table. Then in the next wide shot she has the cereal box back in her hands, then puts it back on the table once again.

Factual error: During the baseball game in the beginning if you look in the background you can see several palm trees in the background. The movie takes place in Ohio where there are no palm trees.

Continuity: At the end of the movie when the bus is driving through the desert, there are almost no passengers in it even though it was half full before.

Continuity: While in the classroom when the teacher says "just like the human heart" you see Jesse supporting his head with his hand. When it cuts to a closeup of Jesse, you see the way his hand is supporting his head has changed.

Continuity: When Jesse and Lisa are making out on the floor you see Jesse holding Lisa's arm. When it cuts, Jesse has both his hands on Lisa's breasts.

Continuity: When Lisa's mother turns off the light you see two guys wearing blue shirts standing outside. When they see the light turns off they turn around. When it cuts they turn around again.

Continuity: When Jessie sits on the ground after being hit by the baseball you see him about to get up. Then Schneider approaches him and when it cuts you see Jessie sitting still.

Continuity: When the bus starts to speed up, it passes a stop with some people waiting there. There is a little girl on a tricycle waiting, and she is pointing to the bus, but in the next shot of her, her hand is down.

Continuity: At breakfast, when Jesse's sister goes to sit where Jesse is about to sit, Jesse says "No!" to her and she sits back in her chair, still trying to get the plastic claws out of the cereal box. As she tries to get the claws out, she is holding the top of the cereal box with her left hand. Then in the next closeup of her, her hand is down by her side.
