A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

• Revealing mistakes: When Alice is fighting Freddy in the church, she burns a hole through his body. Not only is it obvious that the hole isn't actually there but it is a cartoon effect superimposed over Freddy but when the camera goes away and then comes back, there is a panel of brightness at the top left hand corner of the effect so you can't see the Freddy jumper clearly.
  
  
• Continuity: Kristen's hair in the beginning basement scenes.
  
  
• Continuity: After Sheila smears the blood on her paper, it's wet. But in the next shot the blood stain is dried and has changed formation.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: Chain visibly attached to the back of Dan's truck when it gets smashed in by an invisible force.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Camera crew reflected in Dan's truck.
  
  
• Continuity: When Freddy fights Alice in the church, we see a close-up of Freddie taunting her and the little finger of the glove is missing and his bare, unburnt finger is clearly visible.
  
  
• Continuity: When Kristen is talking to the real nurse after bumping her head, her hand is on her head in the wide shot but not in the close-up.
  
  
• Factual errors: When a headphone cord is unplugged from a stereo, the stereo does not turn off. The stereos speakers would turn on.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Kristen is with Alice before school. Kristen lights a cigarette with a match, but it doesn't ignite. She inhales and exhales, but no smoke is visible.
  
  
• Continuity: In the beginning when Kristen is walking towards the little girl, she is facing her. But when she gets closer she comes from behind
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Obvious double when Alice is using the nunchucks in front of her mirror. The actual person has a different hair color than her.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: Crew member reflected in Alice's Dad's car window when she pulls off from the hospital
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Alice is fighting Freddy in the church Freddy says "I...am...eternal" But it is obvious that he says something else ( looks like "forever") because his lips movement doesn't match the word.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the girl's brother is teaching her the martial arts kick, he refers to her as "Alley-san". "San" is the male honorific, he should have referred to her as "Alley-chan".
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Freddy comes to live he says "You shouldn't have buried me, I'm not dead" Yet his lips are not moving. It is clearly visible that he is just smiling.
