Plot hole: The pipe bomb that Maggie uses to kill Freddy is the same one that was found in Spencer's room earlier in the film. It's already been established that Freddy was erasing the people he's been killing from existence, so that pipe bomb wouldn't be there to use on Freddy.
Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare (1991)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Rachel Talalay
Starring: Robert Englund, Lezlie Deane, Lisa Zane, Shon Greenblatt
Revealing mistake: When John tries to stop the van while Maggie is driving, because he sees the small girl in the road, as the van screeches around the road, you can see the road is covered in tyremarks from previous takes. (00:20:10)
Freddy Krueger: Johnny. Up here.
Trivia: Robert Englund has stated that out of all of the kills in the entire Nightmare franchise, Carlos' death is his personal favorite.
Question: When John Doe is at the shelter and is dreaming about walking up stairs, how is he able to walk on air in the real world? At this point in time, John isn't even in Springwood anymore so the whole altering-reality-through-dreams thing shouldn't work here. Also, how did John get from being in the air to being back on the ground when the security guard catches up to him? And why didn't the guard see John in the air?
