Mistake Continuity: At Rick's funeral, Debbie gives Alice her spike bracelet. The spikes are flat and there aren't that many of them, but at the end when Alice is getting decked out to fight Freddy she pulls the bracelet out of her drawer, and the spikes are very menacing looking and there are more of them.

Mistake Continuity: When Alice is in the cinema she has a drink of coke. The Coke has a plastic lid on it. But when Alice turns around to investigate the strong winds, there is no plastic lid on the Coke. Then in the next shot the plastic lid is back on it.

Mistake Revealing: When Alice is being blown towards the cinema screen, she grabs hold of one of the cinema chairs. You can clearly see she is actually holding a handle which is on top of the chair. This is blatantly visible when she lets go of it and flies off.

Mistake Continuity: When Freddy is pushing down on the weight Debbie is holding, in one shot Debbie is holding the middle of the weight with both hands, then when the shot changes she is holding the weight with one hand either side.
