Alternate versions for
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988) More at IMDbPro »

• The UK cinema version was cut by 56 secs to delete footage of nunchakus from two scenes, and the cuts were expanded to 1 min 7 secs for the video release. The cuts were fully restored in the 15 rated 2001 DVD.
  
  
• A small scene that is not in the final cut. It has Kristen (Tuesday Knight) saying "I Knew you'd be back" before she is thrown in the fire.
  
  
• Cut in Sweden by 5 min when shown in theaters.
  
  
• In the original theatrical release, when Freddy puts on sunglasses in the beach scene, the sound track contained a short Miami Vice-like riff. This has been removed in subsequent releases.
  
  
• The dialogue from the film playing inside the movie theater when Alice first walks in and sits down can be heard in the original theatrical version and on earlier VHS editions but the dialogue has been dubbed out from New Line Cinema's most recent releases on both VHS and DVD so that you can only hear the background piano music instead. Oddly enough, if you play the film with the closed captions feature (on both VHS and DVD) the dialogue will still appear at the bottom of the screen even though nobody can be heard talking. The missing dialogue is as follows:
  • Man: See ya, Alvin.
  • Boy: Hey, he ain't no paper man.
  • Girl: Why, don't you know him? That's "Hot Fingers" Curly.
  • Boy: Boy, he really swings out hoppin' with a jive. You want to dance?
  • Girl: Do I?
