Trivia

The little girl who keeps having nightmares is called Nancy, which has been interpreted by many fans as a nod to the name of the protagonist in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), played by Heather Langenkamp. However, director Tom McLoughlin actually named the little girl after his wife, Nancy McLoughlin, who plays Lizbeth in this film. See more »

Goofs

During both the police chase scene and the scene where Jason stops the two in the road, the scene changes from nighttime to daytime and back again. See more »

Quotes

Megan: Maybe he was telling the truth. Just because our parents keep telling us that Jason was only a legend doesn't mean it wasn't true. What if he did come back here, looking for the camp counselor that caused him to drown as a boy, searching for the one that decapitated his vengeful mother? And you do know what today's date is, don't you? And I can think of only one thing even more terrifying.
Cort: What?
[Megan points at the school bus of kids]
Cort: Yay, the kids are here.
Bus Monitor: Here they are, and they're all yours...

Another Jason Movie...
17 November 2002 | by (Escondido, California, USA) – See all my reviews

I'm very glad they decided to stop messing around and finally make Jason a super-natural being! He was pretty much just a hard-to-kill human in parts 2,3 and 4 (and Jason wasn't even the killer in parts 1 and 5). So they finally decided to make this guy truly unstoppable!

I wouldn't say this was a very mind stimulating movie. This film was made purely for the fans! There is no real rhyme or reason to the film, it's just Jason running around killing people. I guess that's cool if that's what you want.

The cast was surprisingly good, some of the acting was sub-par, but what can you expect from this sort of movie? There is one cast member that I think really deserves some notice, Jennifer Cooke, a fine actress and quite the looker too. It was also a pleasant surprise to see a younger Tony Goldwyn ("Ghost", "Kiss the Girls", "The 6th Day") in a very small role in the film.

I didn't think this installment was anything spectacular, but it had some good stuff in it. Like I said above, the story is for the fans, so don't expect anything special. If you liked the previous Friday the 13th films, then go ahead and give this one a shot. If you didn't like the previous films, don't even bother. Thanks for reading,

-Chris
