Mistakes

When Max turns off the lights, the switches are already down - he doesn't move them in any way (neither up nor down) and therefore hasn't made any actions that would alter the current lighting situation, however the lights turn themselves off anyway even though it is apparent the switches were not moved. Nobody else moved any lightswitches either. See more...

Trivia

At the very end of the first film, when Nancy is in the car with all of her friends the car goes driving off without their control. This is the same car that we see in this movie. It is the car in the junkyard that has Freddy's bones in it. See more...

When the tricycle rolls into Kristen's room in the beginning of the dream she pulls Nancy into, there is a cork board on the wall with push-tacks in it. It would be assumed that a girl admitted into an institution for "attempted suicide" would not be allowed to have anything she could potentially harm herself with in her room. [Because this is something that is happening in the dream world, it can't be considered a mistake.]

In the first dream sequence of the film Patricia Arquette's character tells the little girl that her name is 'Kirsten'. However, she is credited as 'Kristen' and referred to as such throughout the rest of the film. [That's quite common in real life. I had a friend named Chirsta, but everyone called her Christa. People even called her Christa after seeing her driver's licence with the correctly spelled name.]

Kristen's mother's hair is blonde, yet in the dream when Freddy rips off her head, and her head starts yelling at Kristen, her hair is grey [Kristen's mother's head WAS just cut off and it was a DREAM so her hair could have changed from blonde to grey after Freddy sliced it off.]
Edit Time
In the scene where Max is carrying Will to bed, you can see that the bottoms of Will's white socks are very dirty. How can this be if he can't walk? [We establish that what happens in the children's dreams with Freddy, happens in reality too. Will says he can walk in his dreams therefore his socks would get dirty, not only in his dreams, but in reality too.]

The TV-watching girl is killed when Freddy shoves her face first into a TV set. (one of the more creative movie deaths.) But the thing is, all the other deaths have been set up to look like suicides if not accidents - this one was obviously foul play, since there's no way she could have launched herself into the glass of a TV screen hard enough to break it. We see that her body is found this way, but they make no inquiry. [If another person could throw you at the TV hard enough to break it, surely you could run and jump at the TV with the same force.]
Edit
From the first film we learn that after Freddy was killed Nancy's mother took his glove, so why does his skeleton have it in the junkyard? [We see in "Freddy's Dead" that Freddy had many gloves. One of them could have made its way to the grave with his bones.]
Edit
When Freddy pierces Taryn's arm with the heroin needles, some of them miss, but in the next shot all the needles are in Taryn's arm. [If you watch Freddy's hands after he attacks Taryn, you'll see him move all the needles that missed into place.]
Edit
When Freddy enters the dream of the boy in the hospital who makes puppets, he cuts down his arms and legs and pulls strings out of them. Blood goes everywhere, but when the boy is shown outside of the dream there are no cuts on his arms and no blood even though in the series what happens in your dream happens to you in real life. [Not in all cases. The only thing that always happens is if you die in the dream, you die in real life. The wheelchair kid was never found in real life killed by an evil chair. And the puppet kid was being controlled as if by strings.]
