I met Kane Hodder at Niagara Falls Fright Fest and he was as fantastic as you hoped he would be. I started crying when I saw him and it was pure nostalgia before me. He hugged me and took a picture.

I love listening to Kane Hodder... he's such an intelligent man who I think is arguably the greatest villain/killer in slasher movies. His body language while wearing the mask is genius.

[@smokingwolf4152]

Agreed!

[@ventingshow4995]

Jason Takes A Boat Ride. Fixed it for 'em.

[@proudtobeautistic]

It's a damn shame that Paramount refused to provide a bigger budget (even though I'm pretty sure they could have afforded it) to allow Rob Hedden to use his original script. Because if they had this movie would have been so epic, I gurantee it would have been the best and the most successful out of the whole series.

[@dvduadotcom]

All of the F13 docs on KZbin are really cool. I love learning how these movies were made and to see everyone's enthusiasm in making them.

[@Punkpsychobilly]

I’m glad that they included the punching his head off kill in the game. So satisfying and hilarious.

[@PlanetCHH]

I love this movie. Rob hedden's ambition was great an Jason looked incredible in this film

[@jediknightgeo]

The movie GROSSLY under delivered

[@phuctifyno1]

You know what?.... a boat is a really cool setting for a Friday movie. It's dark, wet, claustrophopic, and nobody can escape easily. Everyone hates on this one because it takes so long to get to Manhattan. If they had left Manhattan out of the title and marketing, people would have appreciated the movie for what it is for the first hour, then had their minds blown in the the third act when they land in New York. It's all about expectations. I already knew about the movie's stigma when I first saw it, so I was able to take it as it is, not as how it was sold. Honestly, I don't think this movie is perfect (none of the Friday movies are) but I think it's way better than it gets credit for. It's in my top 3, behind only 4 and 6.

[@TheIndependentLens]

This one is in your top 3???? Baby, why??? Just why? OMG! This one is terrible. It was terrible to us fans even back in 1989. It looked and felt like a TV movie.

[@wantutosigh1117]

I don't disagree with the OP. Having Manhattan in the title really hurt this film. If Manhattan was a surprise it would've played better.

[@Carlito150]

Though it’s not my favorite Friday film at all. I do see your point. It kinda did give that hopeless feel

The story behind the making of this movie would make a great chapter in a film school - "Doing the best you can with what you've got."

[@amram1305]

You sound like Burt Gummer.

[@Carlito150]

This movie had so much potential had the director gotten the budget he asked for, had the kills haven’t been so tamed it probably would have been the most epic Friday the 13th movie

[@amram1305]

Jason Goes to hell had 27 kills ...

[@nickbeilschmidt411]

I don't see why people think Jason 8 is so bad. It's my favourite, personally, but partly because it has a lot of nostalgia for me.

because it's not "Jason Takes a cruise ship"

The reason Jason drowned in the original was because he was bullied for being deformed, yet in Part 8 they use a kid with and without deformity as Jason. Weird.

Jason goes to Manhattan was the first Friday the 13th film I saw and this movie holds a special place for me. Despite the flaws of this movie, it’s one of my favorite sequels of the series.

[@Chaingun]

[@racheledwards2352]

I adore the radio kicking scene in this movie

[@TheIndependentLens]

I think many people did, even back then. Not only because it was Jason doing something humorous, but because we all had often felt like destroying someone's boom box for blaring garbage.

[@Quiltfish]

He really likes the scene where they're boxing on the "ruff".

[@patrickkavanagh7371]

It's good to know the director wanted to shoot more in New York but just couldn't. When I first saw part 8 years ago I thought what the hell he's in New York for like 5 minutes.

[@kozmikoblivion]

*The Darkest Side of Night by Metropolis brought me here*

[@mrExcellent101]

For all of its flaws I actually like this film. It really sucks that Paramount wouldn't give Rob Hedden the budget he wanted, it sounds like he originally had an awesome movie planned out - Jason killing people on the Brooklyn Bridge, terror at the Empire State Building, punching the dude's head off at Madison Square Garden - instead we got Jason Takes A Cruise Ship. I enjoyed it but could've been way better.

[@tommycarr8111]

It's one of my favourites.

[@mrExcellent101]

Tommy Carr I agree. I've always liked it since I was a kid.

[@ventingshow4995]

mrExcellent101 Sorry, this movie sucked big time. The makeup of his face at the end was laughable and the flashback/dream moments were silly. Kane didn't even look big as he did in Part 9, he looked tiny here. I don't know if he gained weight later on, but I think he looked like a shrimp here.

[@mrExcellent101]

Venting Show​​​ I mean yeah you're right I see the flaws and everything. You gotta just take it for what it is - late 80s horror - cheese. It was the end of the slasher genre and budget constraints made the movie suck.

[@StephenPike]

You have to appreciate the little touches in these movies. So much more goes into them than it would seem. Something as little as the name of the boat being "Lazarus" is clever. Perhaps a lot of people would miss that, but I appreciate them making that sort of effort for a "slasher flick". good stuff.

[@beatsinmycrates]

Whether you like the movie or not, Kane Hodder was great and looked awesome, just a monster.

After he is discussing this and looking at the shots, you can kind of tell by the rear of the ship that it is not really that big. I'll give them credit for creating the illusion that it was a big ship.

[@corndogonastick5349]

only if they gave this movie a larger budget

[@ZyxthePest]

I think the biggest bummer is that the last 15 to 20 minutes are the best in the entire film. Why Paramount couldn't drop a bit more money is beyond me. Have Jason go through office buildings and apartments to cut costs. ANYTHING to keep him in the city.

[@AussieOfSteel]

This was my favourite movie in the original series, I liked the deaths, like how the teacher drowned in that sewage stuff, and of course, I like that they're in New York.

[@cougarhunter33]

Yes. I met him in like 93 and he was severely scarred back then.

[@Playitstraight44]

These later installments were fun. I think after Part VI it was easier to just see him in the next vehicle they wanted to put him and have at it. it felt like jason had more room to broaden his horizons than other slasher/monsters did.

[@Ibaneddie76]

I hated this movie when it first came out but now that I'm older and love to watch movies from my era I absolutely love this movie.

[@emetanti]

which just made it more of a mess with him suddenly having none at all in part 3 (you know, the movie that plays not even a week after 2.)

[@justmandi3571]

He got a hair cut at Supercuts xD But I do agree. It was strange to see him have hair in the second movie but bald the rest of the movies...:/

[@RtardD2]

Its worth bearing in mind that Jasons no stranger to personal grooming-remember the weird shaving scene from Part IX? :-D

[@justmandi3571]

You, sir, have a very good point. I forgot about that scene from Jason goes to Hell... I think I personally blocked it from memory xD

Jason Takes Manhattan is my favourite movie out of the franchise tbh followed by the 1st Friday The 13th movie and I'm glad I watched this documentary because now I know why a lot of this movie was Jason on a cruise ship which is a shame due to the budget they had to work with I would've loving if they had the budget to shoot scenes in MGS, and the Empire State Building.!!

[@HippieGoddess142]

DangerHillTerror at least we actually got to see Jason doing the killings in Jason X. I actually didn't mind that movie at all. The concept was interesting and the kills were creative. I'd rank F13 films like this: Part 2, Part 3, Part 1, Part 4, Part 6, Part 5, Jason X, Part 8 and then Part 7 (I think the concept of a telekinetic girl was more stupid than Jason on a boat) and Part 9. FVJ is something I don't really consider a true F13 film at all.

[@HippieGoddess142]

Part 3 honestly would have been number 1 on my list but something about part 2 and the ending of it just sticks with me. I think Part 2 is the scariest of them all while part 3 to me was more fun but still creepy. I think part 3 had the best characters while part 7 had the worst.

[@BIGJXXX]

If you don't have the budget, pick a different city or don't make the film. Hell, I think Law + Order shoots on green screen now because of the ridiculous expense of shooting NYC scenes.

[@Wrestling316]

Just imagine if Part 8 had an awesome budget. Just imagine Jason at The World Trade Center, The Empire State Building, MSG, The Brooklyn Bridge and etc.

[@primerodimus1]

This film was meant to be the end of the original, Paramount series. Jason actually "dies" for good here. The toxic waste destroys Jason's monstrous, adult body. This frees the spirit of the little boy that was always trapped within him (Ginny Field proposed that trapped little boy theory in Part 2). Part 9 is not a sequel to the first eight films; it takes place in the "real" world. Parts I-VIII are just loosely connected to Part 9, which was made by New Line Cinema.

[@manniewray6263]

Yeah part 8 was my favorite.

You know what's really sad about this is that if they had just a slightly bigger budge this movie could have been awesome. What's even sadder however, is what film did get a bigger budget and still sucked Part 8: Interesting premise but gets a piss poor $5 million budget Jason X: Gimmicky idea, $11 million budget Imagine how this film could have been if it had the $11 million budget, it could have been beautiful.
