I'm fond of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors for one reason and one reason alone. This was the movie that introduced me to Patricia Arquette and I have been a fan of hers ever since. If you know me, you know that I think everything she has done since then has been aces high. This too has been a long time coming. I think the last time I saw Dream Warrior was probably late 80's for sure. I saw it a few times when it came out and liked it mainly because of Arquette.

So, how does this one hold up? Pretty good. There were some hokey "special fx" that even then looked stupid, especially the fight sequence between Freddy Bones and Dr. Neil Gordon and Donald Thompson. But then again, there was some pretty cool FX that still look pretty damn cool in today's time. I'm referring to the Freddy Puppet that jumps off the wall. This is without a doubt the 2nd best Elm Street film, right after A Nightmare on Elm Street.

This is definitely worth a Rent, just don't expect many 'scare' moments since Freddy is now a "funny man", cracking wise.

Of course I was a huge fan of Dokken and the song when this came out. It STILL kick ass. What I really dig about the video, especially back in 1987 was the fact that they had actors from the movie appear in it. Props to Patricia Arquette and Robert Englund for taking the time out of their schedule to make a video that is one for the ages.

She's my honey and I give all the props in the world!!

Can't say that Dokken is a victim here because Don helped write the music score for the film. He had a vested interest in the films success. Now when I say 'music', I'm talking about the musical score. Not referring to the Dokken songs that were featured in the movie. But I do get what your saying. This was the status quo back in the day for movie/music video tie-ins. But in this case, it was Don's idea.

meaning it's a gamble....but the rewards could be huge

the music is for sure more interesting on this track....would have been interesting to just hear this live without all the production and overdubbed vocals etc.

I bet it would be mega powerful.

but this song to me is WAY better.
