Deliberate mistake: As Nancy and her Mum are leaving Rod's funeral, you can see the shot of them leaving the funeral has been sped up. Watch the Volvo "jerk" as it pulls away as the speed is rapidly increased.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Wes Craven
Starring: Johnny Depp, Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Charles Fleischer, Ronee Blakley, Amanda Wyss
Visible crew/equipment: When Freddy falls over the banister onto the stairs near the end, notice the crash mat he lands on. (01:18:55)
Nancy Thompson: I grab the guy in my dream. You see me struggling so you wake me up. We both come out, you whack the fucker and we got him.
Glen Lantz: Are you crazy? Hit him with what?
Nancy Thompson: You're the jock. You have a baseball bat or something.
Trivia: The actors' reactions when the car roof came up were real - Wes Craven made the roof speed up unexpectedly.
Question: Why did Freddy's voice change? At the start of the film when he was chasing Tina, he said, "This is god," but throughout the rest of the film (and the series of the films) his voice went deeper. You have to kind of listen carefully throughout the film to know what I'm talking about.
