Factual error: At the beginning of the movie, we find out it's July 3rd, 1984. Burt tells Freddy and Ernie to have a good 4th of July weekend. July 3rd 1984 was a Tuesday.

Visible crew/equipment: When Burt calls the number on the side of the canister he gets transferred to the general, who was asleep at the time. When the general is taking down the information Burt gives him, behind the headboard is visible the hair and forehead of a crew member.

Character mistake: When Burt, Ernie and Spider go into the hall after questioning the zombie Burt says his own name instead of Ernie or Spider.

Continuity mistake: When Freddy pours the popcorn out of the box at the beginning of the movie he sits the box down at an angle with the flaps open. But when he and Frank come back up stairs from the basement the box is back in place and the flaps are closed.

Zombie: Send more cops.

Trivia: The actress who plays Trash is actually wearing a prosthetic rubber "crotch piece" during her strip scene (and subsequent scenes), which one of the producers insisted on, because he felt full frontal female nudity was "too much" for the film. Ironically, most of the shots of her are from a distance, and her under-region is hard to see, so in the end, the prosthetic was not really necessary. As confirmed in DVD commentary.
