Review: The Dream Warriors is pretty cool. There's some great death scenes (the television), some great lines, both from Freddy ("Welcome to prime time, bitch") and from his victims ("I am the wizard-master!"), and the story reveals more of Freddy's origin, taking it to a new level. We finally meet Freddy's mother, Amanda Krueger, and learn a little bit about how Freddy came to be the monster that he is.
Nightmare 3 also brings the return of Nancy (Langenkamp), who was so disturbed by what happened to her in the original Nightmare On Elm Street that she's become a teen psychologist. Not as good as the original, but a step up from Part 2.
Trivia: In the famous "Welcome to prime time, bitch" scene, Freddy kills film star Zsa Zsa Gabor, asking her "Who gives a fuck what you think?"
