    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to co-producer Dennis Stuart Murphy, the idea to have Jason wear a burlap sack over his head in Part 2 came from their costume designer, who figured it was the type of readily available item Jason could have conceivably and easily procured.
    • Goofs
      (at around 46 mins) When Terry undresses to go skinny-dipping, her hair is dry. In the very next shot, she is entering the water and her hair is moist and slicked back.
    • Quotes

      Paul: These kids smoke better dope than I do.

    • Crazy credits
      Just like Part 1, we see giant letters proclaiming 'Friday the 13th' moving towards the screen (minus the shattering glass). When they reach the screen, they explode and reveal letters proclaiming 'Part 2.'
    • Alternate versions
      The following scenes were cut from the film in order to avoid an "X" rating from the MPAA:
      • A close-up shot Jeff and Sandra being double-impaled while having sex on the bed.
      • A close up shot of Crazy Ralph and the wire cutting.
      • A scene at the very end where we are shown the inside Jason's shack and see Pamela's face. While there, her eyes open. It was cut by Paramount for looking too fake.
      • A facing shot of Mark's face being split by the machete.
      • Vicky's death had a few more frames of her bleeding from the mouth, then pans over to see another shot of Jeff's dead body
      • Blood was trimmed from the shot of Jason driving the hammer in the cop's head.
      • The flashback footage showing Mrs. Voorhees decapitation was trimmed.
      • Bloodflow was cut from the shot of Jason driving an icepick into Alice's head. Additionally, Jason turns her to the camera, revealing the icepick tip exited through her nose while a look of shock is on her face.
      • Additional bloodflow was cut from the shot of Jason slicing Scott's throat.
      • Originally, sex scene between Sandra and Jeff was longer and it included full frontal nudity from actress Marta Kober but when Paramount studio discovered that she was underage the scene was deleted completely.

    It is pretty good

    This is probably the best Friday the 13th movie even though it is not that good. There are a lot of deaths and less gore. Very action packed chase scene. Jinny was the best heroin of them all but Alice comes in second place. I did not want Alice to want Alice to die though. I wish Jinny was in all of the other movies. In conclusion this is the best Friday the 13th movie of them all.
