Trivia:
A shot of the infamous double-impalement was cut to avoid an "X" rating, yet a still of this censored shot appears on the back of the videocassette box. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The first film takes place on June 13, 1980, which was a Friday, hence Friday the 13th. This film is set five years later, in the summer of 1985, also on Friday the 13th. There wasn't another Friday the 13th during the summer until 1986. moreFAQ
Jason was still 11 at the end of the original when he emerged from the lake. If there were only five years in between the first and second films, how could Jason have become full grown - especially since he hadn't grown at all while in the lake?What happened to the rest of the counselors at the bar? Did they stay out the entire night? Not one of them is seen at the camp in the morning.
When Alice gets in the shower, it seems the time it takes her is way too short, even for just rinsing off. Why does she seem to end her shower right before the phone rings, and it appears that she was getting out anyway?

Friday the 13th part 2 is a great horror film and is the best in the series. Has its share of sex drugs and blood easy to follow with a great opening. Amy Steel gives a good performance as our heroine and the rest of the cast is fine as well.
This film moves at a nice pace has its jump scares and builds up nicely to the final chase. I think this film has stood the test of time nicely does not ever seem too dated in anyway no crazy hillbilly music score (such as in the Burning, Bloody Valentine from the same time}.
Simple horror at its best.
