    Storyline

    Edit
    Five years after killing the goalie hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees, Tommy Jarvis has grown up in various mental hospitals unable to get over the nightmares about Jason's return. When Tommy is sent to a rural halfway house in New Jersey for mentally disturbed teenagers, a series of grisly murders begin anew as another hockey-masked killer begins killing off all people at and around the residence. Has Jason returned from the dead to re-start his killing spree? Has Tommy decided to take over the reign of Jason, or has someone else? —matt-282

    • Quotes

      Sheriff Tucker: I know who it is.

      Mayor Cobb: What?

      Sheriff Tucker: I said I know who it is.

      Mayor Cobb: Who?

      Sheriff Tucker: It's Jason Voorhees.

      Mayor Cobb: Jason Voorhees? You're outta your fucking mind. You've been out in the sun too long. Jason Voorhees is dead! His body was cremated. He's nothing but a handful of ash.

      Sheriff Tucker: [Tucker stands up firmly] You know that for sure, Mayor? Were you there? Did you see him cremated?

      Mayor Cobb: Jason Voorhees?

      [Tucker nods]

      Mayor Cobb: I can't believe this! Look.

      [pulls out an ashtray]

      Mayor Cobb: This is your "Jason Voorhees" here.

      [pours ashes out]

      Mayor Cobb: This!

      [plants ashtray in Tucker's hand]

      Mayor Cobb: Your ass is on the line here, Tucker. Are you getting that? You get me a Goddamn LIVE suspect!

      [Cobb exits. Tucker, enraged, breaks the ashtray by throwing it against a wall]

    • Alternate versions
      There is an alternate version of the film which runs 91 minutes and contains several small and mostly inconsequential differences. These are:
      • "Version 2" is in the lower right hand corner throughout the movie.
      • There is no close-up of Jason pulling the machete out of Neil's stomach during the opening sequence.
      • Duke's (the paramedic) line is altered when he sees Joey's body. In the original version he says "Bunch of pussies..." while in Version 2 he says "I'll be damned...".
      • There is a different angle briefly used in Pete's death.
      • The scene in which Ethel yells at Junior as he is eating his stew is re-edited to remove the profanity, and uses some different angles.
      • When Demon is about to open the outhouse door, an alternate camera angle is used and some of the profanity he uses is cut from the scene.
      • After Junior is decapitated there is an alternate angle of Ethel in the kitchen, and her dialog is slightly altered.
      • The scene of Robin going to bed is re-edited to exclude some of her nudity and some dialog.
      • Before the above scene is a scene of Violet in her room which originally was part of a scene which occurred a few minutes later. When the scene happens a few minutes later, the footage that was previously used is not present.
      • When Pam fights off Roy with the chainsaw, she hits him twice in shoulder. Only the second hit appears in the original version.
      • When Roy dies, the camera stays on Pam, Tommy and Reggie instead of showing Roy falling on the spikes.

    Ooooh baby! Ooh Baby!
    This is the best Jason to watch drunk, it's almost like a Friday the 13th blooper reel. I love the singing on the crapper part, the mod chick doing the robot, the "just wanna earn a meal" guy, Crazy Ethel and Junior, Billy and Llana, that kid from Diff'rent Strokes, the stupid arse ending, and the excessive nudity.

    It's a time capsule of sorts, it captures all the bad 80's slasher films in a hour and a half. Bad acting? GOT IT! Ridiculous costumes? GOT IT! Lot's of big haired women topless? GOT IT! No name stars obviously coked out of they're mind? OH THIS MOVIE HAS GOT PLENTY OF THAT! Watch it and laugh, preferably with some friends
