Summary: A RESTORED SOUNDTRACK: ITS UNCUT!!!!
Review: When A NIGHTMARE ON ELMSTREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS was released to home video in 1987. The music track had been altered for legal reasons. Most notably the song BACK FOR THE ATTACK by DOKKEN had been removed and replaced by some generic metal guitar. The DVD release of this film is the original theatrical edit and restores the missing DOKKEN song. Thanks Robert Shaye!
About the plot; basically a great film, but..... What's with the "hypnocil" subplot. Very inconsistant. Nancy apparently cannot dream because of this drug. So, how does Kristin pull her into the dream with the snake?
Later, Nancy suggests that the kids should be put on Hypnocil. Neil agrees and (after some convincing) so does Dr. Simms. They hope to get some by the next morning. Next, we see Jennifer get killed by Freddy and her subsequent funeral. Several days must have passed. After the funeral Nancy convinces Neil that the kids should enter the dream as a group. What happened to the hypnocil? Obviously they are not taking it because they have no problem dreaming. And strangly neither does Nancy, who has been taking it for a long time. When did she stop taking it? And if she has, why hasen't Freddy come after her.
Anyway, after the kids are trapped in a giant boiler in the dream world,
Joey is in an (apparent) coma. (it cant be a real coma because you don't dream in a coma). The administrator of the clinic blames the coma on the exparimental drug Hypnocil. Which Joey apparently never even took. Maddening!!!! My head is going to explode (just like Jennifers)!!!!
Then, once again, Nancy and the kids enter the dream, together. No problems. I am convinced that there is no such thing as "hypnocil",
The jar that fell out of Nancys purse, and was examined by Neil, contained Good and Plenty or something. (Also, I bet Nancy is glad she didn't drop her credit cards or her vibrator with nosey Neil around)

Summary: Skip the movie and just watch the video at the end.
Review: I really don't care about the movie at all.

I just like it for the DoKKen song at the end.

I am a big DoKKen fan.

So actually, this review really is not about the movie at all, but just about the awesome band that made the title song.


Who cares about the movie. Fast forward through the movie just to watch the ending music video.

DoKKen was much cooler than Freddy ever was.

DoKKen was one of the very few 80's bands that were not commerical hair fluff/Pop Metal at all, but were actually a breath away from being Helloween/Iron MAIDEN Power Metal.


Just get it the movie just for the DoKKen song.


Although, this is the first movie in the Freddy Series where people started to fight back against him instead of being helplessly slaughtered.


If you like the DoKKen song, then get the "Back for the Attack" CD from DoKKen, that "Dream Warriors" is the last song on. Not to mention that there is not a bad song on that entire CD at all.

Also check out the "Tooth and Nail" and "Beast from the East" CDs as well from DoKKen. Those 2 other CDs are equally just as good as the "Back for the Attack" CD is.


Actually, for anyone who is going through or who has gone through a relationship breakup either currently or in the past; 3/4ths of ALL of DoKKen's songs talk about breakups and how to get over a bad breakup. It worked for me, and I am sure it can work for someone else too.


"We're the Dream Warriors. Leave our dreams alone. Maybe tonight, maybe tonight you'll be gone!"

Summary: Best Nightmare Film!
Review: IF YOU THINK YOU'LL GET OUT ALIVE,YOU MUST BE DREAMING.

THIS ONE WAS GOOD. I THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER THAN THE FIRST. IT HAD REALLY FUN AND IMAGINITIVE KILLS IN THIS MOVIE. MY FAVORITE IS WHEN THE KID WITH GLASSES SAYS I AM THE WIZARD MASTER THEN HE GETS UP AND BLOWS UP THE CHAIR. THAT IS SURELY ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN THIS MOVIE. I THINK ANY FREDDY FAN WILL BE PLEASED WITH THIS ONE. BUT THIS ONE IS NOT SCARY. BUT IT IS A HELL OF A FUN THRILL RIDE THATS FOR SURE.

THE FEATURES ON THIS DVD ARE:

1.THEATRICAL TRAILER

2.CAST AND CREW

3.JUMP TO A NIGHTMARE MENU

THERE IS OVER A MINUTE OF SPECIAL FEATURES ON THIS DVD!

Summary: Awesome.
Review: When I saw the first three (I had them recorded on VHS, several years before I saw any of the others), this one was always my favorite.<br /> Christ, I love Robert Englund. Even if the movies are hilariously cheesy and not scary at all. I'd die with Fred Krueger.

Summary: I guess.....
Review: This movie is okay. I remember totally buying every minute of it when i was a kid in the 80's. Dream Warriors was my fave one.
I even went to the Theatre in my Freddy t-shirt and fake plastic
razor glove to see it.

But being older and having just ordered it and watched it, this one was too COMICAL for me. There's too many Freddy 'One-liners' for my liking. I liked it a lot better in the earlier movies when you could barely see Freddy, he was dark and mysterious, they hardly showed his face.

I still watched it and liked it, cuz, well, i'm a Freddy fan. But I think Part 1 and Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, were way more dark and spooky... and that's the way I like my Horror.

Summary: The best sequel? Maybe.
Review: While I'm partial to NoES4, Dream Warriors is definately the best sequel overall. It doesn't have anything rediculous in it like Freddy's Revenge did, and it goes back to the original Freddy. No more running around in the real world here. Just pure dream world kills. And there's even a catchy theme song at the very end of the same name. Yep, this is an 80's movie through and through.

We start out with a girl named Kristen who seems to have the ability to pull people into her dreams. After an outburst with her oh-so-wonderful mom, she's thrown into a mental ward (weren't parents just so understanding back then?). A few of the other kids there have been having bad dreams about Freddy, but they don't know the full story. At first, there's a good number of them and they all talk about their nightmares with Nancy (the hero/survivor from the first Nightmare movie. She's now a dream expert), but Freddy's back in full force and is taking them out one at a time. And he's doing it pretty cunningly too. There's a Dungeons & Dragons geek who, because he can be anything in his own dream, turns into a wizard and tries to fight Freddy...only to stand no chance and gets stabbed in the heart. I guess his 24 sided dice didn't help 'em there did it? The "tough girl" that had a drug prblem who is beautiful...AND BAD in her dreams ends up being a really hilarious looking punk with dual switchblades...and stabs Freddy under his arm. She's quickly injected with his needle glove. There's even a girl who dreams of being in movies. Well, Freddy makes this dream come true, and crams her head right into the TV. Right after though, Laurence Fishburne, a worker at the institution, walks in to see the mess that's been made. If only The Oracle or Neo would've been there to prevent such a thing. I'll leave the others for you to watch though, as this one has some of the most amusing kills. And of course, watch for Freddy's one-liners that make him one of the most stylish guys in the business. I especially like the way he dealt with a kid who made marionette puppets. Let's just say they finally did something that I'll agree on being "graphic and violent". And also, this is one of very few Nightmare movies that doesn't have a stupame (stupid and lame at the same time) ending. I was impressed though the whole picture and didn't fall asleep once like I did with NoES5.

Time to sound like a broken record: the picture and audio are both above average. The 5.1 Dolby mix is great, and the picture quality is slightly above the laser disc quality. I seriously doubt you're buying this to show off your new HDTV with, so we'll just leave it at that and move on to the next part where all of my NoES reviews sound the same.

If you've been reading my other NoES reviews, I'm sure you know what I'm going to put here for the special features. There's nothing at all. "Jump to a Nightmare" has never counted, and never will. What I'd give for a commentary track or even making-of featurette with the guy who plays Kincaid. That guy has some of the most rediculous lines I've heard (especially in NoES4). But that'll do it for this section. I'm getting sick of typing "there's nothing here" for almost every sequel.

Dream Warriors is one of the few Nightmare movies whose sub-title actually has meaning and something to do with the movie. It's also one of the few that has all the elements a horror movie should have, and doesn't favor one element over another. While Nancy still doesn't look like a person, her acting is much better here than it was in the first movie. But what I want to know is if this is the censored version or not. I clearly remember a few more graphic scenes when I saw the vhs versions when I was little, especially the last few scenes. Oh well, one or two other NoES movies that are out to buy are in fact censored, so it wouldn't surprise me. Either way, you'd do good to buy this sequel. Especially over the others. It, along with NoES4, are the only ones that didn't disappoint me. It's just too bad the dvd itself doesn't have a lot going on for it. Good job Wes.

Summary: Nancy Returns!
Review: This is a great movie for one liners and many intresting characters. It is set in an institute where a group of troubled teens are terrorised by Freddy. The characters include Kincaid a tough loud teen, Phil who builds puppets, Taryn a fussy punk like teen and several others. They must all go into the same dream to fight off Freddy with the help of Nancy Thompson. Many deaths and suprises! A cool Freddy film.
