      She would have been a better choice. But I actually would have liked to have seen JJ be the final girl. It would have been fun to see a punk rock chick be the final girl. How often do you ever see that in a slasher?
      Maybe switch the roles and have Hu play JJ as the lead? That might have had a lot of promise as well. And I can buy Hu in that kind of role.

      @@OcpCommunications That's another thing I hated about this movie. Kill off the interesting characters first then we're left with these bland, cliche characters. The redheaded girl sucked. She had "powers", the girl from New Blood had powers and she was WAY more interesting and went toe-to-toe with Jason. This girl just has dumb visions of Jason as a kid. How the hell did she know what he looked like? Did she travel back to the 50s? These characters would been better in a Freddy movie. JJ, the asian chick, and the nerdy dude with the camera deserved to be in a better slasher movie.

      I had an idea of the spirit of a teen that was killed in a prank gone wrong at Crystal Lake decades after the end of part VII entering the corpse of Jason and using his body as a tool for revenge. Making Jason the hero. The final girl would actually be the film's villain.

    This, to me, is and will always be the worst Friday the 13th film. The only good thing I give it is the head punch death, including the fight leading up to it. That’s it. The rest is just stupid, especially the ending. To be honest, it’s a good thing it wasn’t the final film in the series. I also feel sorry for Kane Hodder and Kelly Hu for starring in this nonsense. They deserved better. Ocp, this rant was very cathartic and the song you made at the end was hilarious.

And who takes a big ass boat from CRYSTAL LAKE to fucking New York City? Last time I checked, lakes don't connect to the ocean (I got that from Matt's review of this movie XD). Yeah, Jason gets "killed" by toxic waste and turned back into a kid. I saw this movie back in 89 and was like WTF?

    The most unbelievable teleportation scene is where Jason is chasing the Principal in New York, He is clearly far behind him, The Principal goes into a building, The Camera pans to the second story, and Jason somehow was there and throws him out the window before drowning him in toxic waste. Good Review, I'm not a big fan of this movie but I have to say I hate Jason X the most in the franchise.

    I can totally understand why people hate this film. This is a weird film for me because I have the same problems like everyone else does but I can’t hate this film I don’t know why. One thing I always lean towards this film more than JGTH and Jason X is because this film still feels like Friday the 13th even though it takes place on a boat and then NYC. I don’t know what it is but after the movie ends I always get sad because it was the end of the Paramount era and the end of the 80s that always makes me upset for some reason and the movie just had a stupid ending with Jason turning back to a kid and I’m upset the movie is over when the credits roll. See what I mean it doesn’t make sense why do I like it then lol. I’m so conflicted with this film. I would of loved to see what was Rob Hedden’s true vision and original script would have been. Still a decent time waster for me. I personally hate Jason X more. Nice job on the rant.

    @boomstickcritique902 2 года назад

    Personally for me the original Friday the 13th is a murder mystery revenge slasher about a crazy mother. The rest after starting with part 2 are just the Jason B movie slasher series in the context of the series I can still watch this one as an ok time waster just for Jason and some of the entertainment value. The biggest faults here are not enough New York and the convoluted overly supernatural ending seems he wanted Jason to be presented as a ghost-type figure haunting the lake and the ending was meant to symbolize his spirit being set free which is way too overtly supernatural for the series. You don't really need Jason going to all the popular New York places you just need to have fun with the idea of Jason himself in New York all this movie needed to do was have Jason go on big New York rampages and it would have worked Jason attacking a play and killing a bunch of people Jason killing a bunch on a subway Jason killing a bunch of people in the police station literally all this movie needed was more New York fun and it would have worked as an entertaining B movie Jason slasher.

    It’s got some good Jason scenes in it, the mean old teacher guy is one of those great jerk characters you’re so looking forward to see die, julius is a good character, they should have been daring and let him live and be the hero because he was a hell of a lot more charismatic and likeable than the pretty boy they had survive. I love the scene where Beautiful young Kelly Hu gets hunted down and throttled, very tense I always thought. They survivor girl is the worst in the franchise though I really don’t like her she’s a dull drip. They go down about forty feet to the dingy to escape the sinking ship and there’s no dog in the dingy, but when they’re all in the dingy the dog is in it, it was too far to throw the dog into the water and it was physically impossible for them to have carried the dog down and climbed down the small rope ladder at the same time, just one of the movie’s many annoying inconsistencies.. I think they should have just had jason terrorising a boat and Harv that he what made the movie different, and they should shown uh girl’s flashback to when she was a girl and she encountered Jason’s child ghost?? At the beginning, at least that would have offered some slight semblance of an explanation as to why she’s repeatedly haunted the the spectre!

    The first time I saw this picture was on New Year's Eve in 2014 as part of the Friday the 13th New Year's Eve marathon on Epix Drive-In, and it sucked. In the 2014 showing, after the first 6 films, it skipped straight to Part VIII. I don't know why, but Epix Drive-In fixed it a year later by replacing Part V with Part VII (showing it in chronological order, leaving out Part V). That being said, Part VIII sucked so bad, Paramount (the studio that brought you Beverly Hills Cop, The Untouchables, Fatal Attraction, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Star Trek and The Godfather) want nothing to do with the franchise anymore so they sold it to New Line Cinema (Pre-Ted Turner era).
    Paramount put out 2 crapfested sequels (Jason Takes Manhattan and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier) and it shows.
