Suggested correction: You can see a goon holding it up when they come back.

He's just holding it steady, the mistake is right and there's a picture online to prove it.

Sacha

The picture you put online to prove it does not prove anything at all. It's a really lousy picture that doesn't serve as any sort of proof because it's too hazy and dark in the picture to see the wooden slats.

Suggested correction: Freddy's own locker is 4th from the right - he shuts it at the start of the scene. Just as Anthea says, "You knew those guys were gonna hit you," note the ginger-haired girl in an orange sweater is at her open locker, 2nd from the right, and Freddy walks over. As Freddy says, "That's how I amuse myself," we see the ginger girl standing patiently behind Freddy while he uses *her* open locker (she has a blue floral lei hanging inside) to unbend his crutch. When Freddy says, "Walk you to class? No. Why would I wanna do that? YES!" we see the ginger girl ready to get her locker back. She closes her locker while offscreen in the next shot. Then in the next shot, as the camera faces Freddy and Anthea, in the background we see ginger girl standing at her now closed locker. Rewatch this scene, please. There is no continuity issue.
