Factual error: When Dylan wakes up in the hospital, under a plastic tent, we hear the iconic "flat-lining" sound of a heart monitor. Dylan then removes the clamp from his finger and the sound stops. The clamp is an oximeter, a device that measures blood oxygen concentration. The wires going under his shirt are the heart monitor. The sound should not have stopped. (01:12:42)
Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
1 factual error
Directed by: Wes Craven
Starring: Robert Englund, Wes Craven, Heather Langenkamp
Continuity mistake: When Julie scares the nurse with the needle, the nurse turns around. When it cuts, she turns around again. (01:15:10)
Robert Englund: I think they'd like to see us together again.
Heather Lagenkamp: In what? A romantic-comedy?
Robert Englund: Just because it's a love story doesn't mean it can't have a decapitation or two.
Question: It is said that in the original script, Julie the babysitter was meant to be Freddy's pawn, and even though they removed that part, there are still elements in the film that point fingers at her. What are some of these elements?
Chosen answer: Mostly just very subtle hints. In the beginning when she arrives right around the same time that Heather gets a call from the psycho-stalker, suggesting a possible connection. And the fact she's alone with Dylan many times during the film, as she could be subtly manipulating him to act out.
In the final version of the movie, Julie is not connected to Freddy in any way, and she was certainly not manipulating Dylan, nor anyone else. The fact that she arrives right around at the same time that Heather gets mysterious call is a pure coincidence.
