You know somebody's a great actor when they're able to be pants-shittingly scary in one movie, but also be side-splittingly hilarious in another movie. Robert Englund is a Treasure.
Nah, because he has to use the actual controller part to play the game instead of the hand motions. The Power Glove. Even in the land of dreams, *IT'S SO BAD.*

Yeah! You'd of thought he'd find time to add them to the kill count, right then and there! However, he was caught off-guard, and apparently too lazy, to do anything to them!
Since the slasher genre exhausted itself rather quickly, the creators had nothing left but to compete with each other to see who could come up with a more sophisticated and unusual way of killing. Naturally, it quickly went beyond the bounds of reasonableness and turned into outright idiocy, which could not be taken seriously. So many horror movies in the 80s- early 90-s contained a fair share of humor - Evil Dead 2, Brain Dead, Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead. Horror movies stopped trying to scare the viewer, but rather turned into a teenage attraction of violence, boobs, and jokes.
Man this scene was so freaking hilarious watching Freddy control the kid like a video game character and the way he was jumping all over the house they were in and smashing the walls and everything else I'll bet they had a lot of laughs from the audience when this movie was playing at the theaters especially the cartoon sounds.
Oh my god, this scene scared the shit out of me. Still does. Couldn’t sleep for days after seeing this part, especially when he said now I’m playing with power. That scene fucked me up.
The franchise definitely jumped the shark veering so far into comedy with this one. It's like what happened with the Burton-Schumacher Batman series only a couple years later.
Mmhmm. Actually, though, they'd pretty much jumped the shark, back in 1989, when Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, was so heavily edited, on the first two deaths, which is Dan's death, then Greta's death. I don't know if you know this or not, but Dan's death had to be edited at least 12 times, and Greta's death had to be heavily edited, or else the MPAA was going to slap an NC-17 rating on the movie, meaning that no one under the age of 17 could've gotten in to watch the movie. If you've ever seen the unedited death scenes of this movie, you'll understand why. They're here on TH-cam, though.
Franchise died pretty much there though. Only two movies after this. One was sort of a reboot reshaping the franchise's lore, and the last was a remake that failed horribly at the box office. Both movies were pretty good to me, yes even the remake. The franchise died for good unfortunally.
Can't believe that's Breckin Meyer as Spencer. He's come such a long way. Imagine putting on your resume you got to work with a legend like Robert Englund.
Could you imagine being a fan of this series since the first film and seeing how it went from some of the most genuinely terrifying scenes in slasher history to a scene out of an actual cartoon?

Yes, it´s funny. But it´s also clear that Freddy has become his own parody. In the first NOES he was the pure evil creature maybe sent direct from Hell. It wasn´t a bad idea to make him a pun master in 3, but since 4 he became just a comic figure - like Cryptkeeper (nothing against him, but Freddy is not Cryptkeeper). There should have been only two Nightmares - the 1st and Dream Warriors. Sadly Chucky´s fate was the same. At least Freddy didn´t end married.
I feel like the Angry Video Game Nerd, knowing him, watched this movie and thought fighting Freddy with the Power Glove was a good way to cap off the episode.
This and Nintendo Power both really made the early 90's. In fact, back when Nintendo Power did something called celebrity profile, they interviewed Robert Englund (who at the time was an avid video gamer) in Nintendo Power volume 30 which had Final Fantasy 4 on the cover. The Celebrity Profile article started by saying that Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare was ripping up movie screens nationwide.
If they had continued making sequels to the first Nightmare on Elm Street continuity, we would have eventually gotten to Freddy invading video game worlds after his essense transfers to an early 2000's console or something.
For some unknown reason “You’ve forgot the power glove” Just lives rent free in my head and anytime I put on a glove I always think of it, what has that shit movie done to me
Why does Freddy Krueger actually seem like a funny guy to hang out with in this scene? Like he radiates cool/weird uncle energy here
That’s kinda how he evolved. He started out as the creepy demon like most other famous bad guys. Then he slowly transitioned into this wacky fun loved by many fans guy. Kinda changed him back in “new nightmare”. And reboots.
Marketing, happens to all copyrighted characters or intellectual property
More like Creepy uncle considering he already was touching kids.
He fits the weird pedo uncle lol.
Because before he was Freddy Krueger. He was a child molester...
You can tell that Robert Englund was having a blast in this flick
I find it hard to hate a movie if I know the actors are having fun making it
what about five nights at freddys movie?@@Somerandomnobodyonyoutube
This is one of those best Freddy memorable scenes
You know somebody's a great actor when they're able to be pants-shittingly scary in one movie, but also be side-splittingly hilarious in another movie. Robert Englund is a Treasure.
He played the devil in an episode of Married With Children. He was funny in that too.

Freddy loves the power glove... it's so bad
Only in the dreams of Nintendo executives
I like how Freddy's Dead The Final Nightmare seems more like a comedy then a horror movie lol.
They had to switch gears if they were going to compete with Jason and Michael. So the comedy approach was a no brainer

It's not the final final film.
They also did it with Saw and Friday the 13th.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 the only things that can really kill a slasher villain are underwhelming box office returns and legal rights issues.
I honestly thought this was a parody from tv
Lmao I love how unbothered he was when they kick the joystick from his hand. He was like "ayy wtf"
He reacted the same way gamers do when their dogs walk in front of the TV and knock the controller out of its port.
Yeah! You'd of thought he'd find time to add them to the kill count, right then and there! However, he was caught off-guard, and apparently too lazy, to do anything to them!
Robert Englund will always be The Freddy Krueger.

This is literally the only Nightmare on Elm Street that uses a video game world as a nightmare.

and to think if this scene were done today, it would definitely be a souls-like game.
