Jason Lives Saved The Friday the 13th Franchise | Friday The 13th Documentary | Planet CHH

[@Chaz4543]

This movie is fast paced and never lets up. There are no slow or weak spots. Whoever had to edit it together is the real MVP because they nailed it.

[@SuperStewie83]

I’ve loved part 6 since the first time watching it back in the early 90’s on television. That was the only way I watched any of the Friday films at first. Part 6 has always been my favorite

[@horrororman]

I was 11 when VI was released. My folks couldn't afford at the time to take me to see it at the theater. So they bought me the novelization. I became obsessed with reading it, so obsessed that my grades dropped. My mom took it from me until my grades went back up. I would sneak into her room when she was at work and read a few chapters. I read it until I had to tape the cover back on. Years later, I bought another copy, and C. J. Graham autographed it. I also found Alice because of part VI(Alice is the king). Finally, in 2019, I was able to watch it on the big screen at a special showing with Thom Mathews. Lots of awesomeness with VI. There are so many memories. My first copy was from a SHOWTIME VHS recording a friend made me. I would set my tape player up and make cassette recordings of the movie so I could listen to it on my Walkman. Some kids had Batman or Spider-Man... I had Jason.😂

Best Friday story EVER ❗️❗️❗️

[@Hotgarbage100]

Best comedy/horror ever is Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

[@verisimilitude8660]

It's a fun one but it doesn't come close to Jason Lives Evil Dead 2 Return Of The Living Dead Or Fright Night Imo.

[@norinradd8969]

Part 6 is my all time favorite. Oh my I have probably watched this over 60 times in my lifetime already. The nostalgia grows stronger every time I watch it.

[@catrinag.9262]

CJ Graham is such a nice guy. I met him at a convention in my home town as well as Darcy DeMoss. Also if you think about it there is absolutely no blood in this one. I'm pretty sure at all. But still a great movie.

[@twistedtrucker1540]

Awesome stuff CHH!!! Part VI made me a horror fan back in 1994

[@bobcobb3654]

I’d assume the gloves were just to save time. This was the first movie where Jason was undead. Looking at how much older Tommy is, Jason’s been rotting 7-8 years, so his hands would have to be as decomposed as everything else. Because of that, having Jason with the actor’s regular hands, they’d need to be made up to be rotten and gross, which could take hours. Or, just have him find some gloves.

[@Adam-SB]

@bobcobb3654: “This was the first movie where Jason was undead.”; no, this wasn’t; part IV was. Jason was pronounced dead at the beginning of the film and his body was sent to the morgue… and the rest is (bloody) history.

[@jarrodm9299]

Part 6 is an underrated classic horror film in this franchise and still to this day one of my favorites.

[@GG-zk8ht]

Yeah the opening of part 6 was like catching lightning in a bottle, done perfectly.

[@charleyvarrick6371]

Well put. I liked pt 6 as a kid, and like it maybe even more now because of how well-made it is and the old movie nods.

[@DShawEntertainment]

3 and Final Chapter are the most enjoyable.

[@travzimmerman1340]

Yup, and part 2 is the beat film of the series

[@guschampion]

6 was the first one I saw in the theater. I don't think I could like a Friday the 13th movie more.

[@jenniferthomas999]

Same here

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

I 1st saw part 6 on AMC late 1 night back when I was in 8TH or 9TH Grade & since then love it. Still love it till this very day.

[@verisimilitude8660]

Jason Lives is in my top 5 for sure, great opening, T. M did an awesome job directing it. And CJ is a great Jason.

[@GoodGuyJason25]

Watched this on Vhs literally 1 day after watching Part VII in the theaters❗️❗️❗️ Good times indeed ❗️

[@ppdangler]

part 6 was always my favorite. still is. great 1 liners, "hey nikki what you doing back there taking a dump?" agree best opening! good ending too. it was always on tv back in the day i remember, prolly because no nudity.

[@Hotgarbage100]

Part 6 is my favorite then part 4!

[@Mike13v2]

Part 6 was the first one i ever saw as a kid so its got a soft spot with me.

[@cyaatthemovies]

Just recently-ish found your channel and been binging lots of your horror reviews/rankings! Super glad one for part 6 is here! I first got into the horror genre at age 9 and shortly after I got OBSESSED with Friday the 13th, part of the reason being at the time i actually got the chance to talk to Betsy Palmer (rest in peace 💕) and still to this day it's the only celebrity encounter I've had in life (it's a bit of an odd story). But back to the point, going through all the films and loving most of them, Part 6 was easily a stand out. I loved that really fun and energetic tone, the characters, the kills, the SOUNDTRACK 🔥🤘 and it's been the one I've gone back to most since. Probably my 2nd favorite horror sequel behind Child's Play 2. Awesome review, man! Unless I just haven't found it and it's already been done, I'd love to hear your thoughts in a full on review like this for the original first film. Seems to be one of the only first films in a horror series that nobody ever has as their #1 but it's always been my favorite

[@PlanetCHH]

I am doing part one soon! Thank you!

[@allright]

The first time I ever watched part 6 was during Joe Bob Briggs "Friday 13th marathon" on TNT, it's my favorite in the series.

[@mikecampbell411]

My first experience with this movie was seeing the VHS in the video store when I was nine. I wasn't allowed to watch these movies because I got scared easily, but I would just look at the covers and read the back. The synposis on the back of the case completely hooked me. I finally saw it when I was a teenager, and it was every bit as great as I'd thought. It's not my favorite of the series, but it's definitely in the top tier. This completely works as a horror/comedy where A New Beginning failed, IMO.

[@michaelsmith2004]

Part 6 is alot of fun! Its moved up in my overall ranking more over the years. My favorite is part 3, 4 and then 6. I love the entire series. Honestly i think the best made is 4 overall. The direction is incredible in that one but 3 had a tone that i prefer and Richard Brookers Jason had a malice and creep factor that im not sure weve seen since. Love this series!!! Graham and Matthews are great people. Ive met them at conventions a few times and they are awesome! They love their fans and they made a great Friday movie!❤

[@NicholasGStar]

This Friday the 13th is the Only Friday the 13th part VI I owned on VHS back in the day as a kid I love this Friday and same for me the aesthetic of the film has a real campy feel to it🤟 where ever the red dot goes you bang!

[@Adam80sfan13]

Saw this opening weekend fun times

[@Summertimeblues28]

Jason Lives is my third favourite Friday the 13th movie

[@Jaykilljoy-tt9tt]

Was always a top favorite. It's my #2 of the franchise. I love zombie "powerhouse" Jason, it's very late 80's. Alice Cooper is on the soundtrack. I love the whole "angry depressed youth" aspect of Jason in the movie. The kills are good especially the trailer scene. I like the comedy. The main characters are good. I like the look of Jason and the overall tone of the movie. My issue with part 6 is exactly as you said the casting of Tommy Jarvis. Now I love his role in Return of the living dead 1 and 2. But it is jarring to see him in the movie considering he looks very different, sounds very different, and acts very different then the two previous Tom Jarvises we've seen. And ya, i love the look of Jason coming out of the grave. The cobweb clinging to his clothes, etc. it looks really good. "This movie is jason back from the dead as a militant zombie" Exactly. He's holding a cemetary gate pole almost like a spear or rifle and at times even moves and acts like he's in the military. And ya, i also love the fact that we actually get kids at the camp. Nikki [Darcy Demoss]...I love her 80's hair. She wore it very well. My least watched Friday film is probably part 8 and X, excluding Freddy vs Jason and the remake because I've only watched the remake once and Freddy vs Jason I refuse to watch ever again, because why waste my time?! In my world Jason goes to hell, Freddy vs Jason, and the remake simply don't exist. The Friday film I've probably changed my mind most on would be part 1, 2, and 3. I've grown to love the first movie more and more. Part 2 was very high up on my list of favorites, but it's gone down, I use to also love part 3, but then it became one of my least favorites, but the last time I watched it in 2021 I loved it,

[@nicolemerrill9167]

Damn Skippy that's a great scene in part 6

[@RetroTiburon]

Part 6 is top notch! Up there with the OG and part 4 with me. At Agua Caliente Casino in Palm Springs there’s a movie prop mask signed by CJ. He was a VP there at some point I believe.

[@thomasffrench3639]

I love that Tom McLoughlin was told by his boss to get a nude scene, and then he asked if she wanted to do it, then said no, and he was like “screw my boss, you don’t have to do it”

[@Rick.Hunter.Wyatt6]

Awesome video Planet CHH hope you're well my awesome friend . Friday the 13th part 6 is very special too me . because it introduce me to Alice Cooper's music . plus I love the 007 tribute in opening credits . CJ Graham is my 3nd favorite Jason just behind Kane Hodder and Ted white . I love Megan is hot ❤ .

[@bretthumphrey6821]

Its amazing one of my favorites

[@Weedy_McWeedy]

I LOVE this movie. I first saw it when I was in 4th grade. I had gone home from school early that day because I had an accident on the playground that day and I ended up with a mild concussion & at that time they told us that I had to stay awake for at least 2 hours after getting the concussion, and to keep me occupied for at least 2 hours so after we left the doctors office, my mom took me to the video store to pick out a movie to watch and I saw this movie and so my mom rented it for me and I loved every second of it and helped keep my mind off of the concussion (and headache) I was dealing with that day. This was way back in 1987 or so. This one is definitely in my top 3 favorite Friday the 13th movies.

[@allright]

Where ever the red dot goes (YA-BANG)

[@rolemodlin]

As I've gotten older, Jason Lives has jumped The Final Chapter as my favorite. Those are the two that I saw in the theater when they came out. It's a shame all the gory stuff got cut way down. I love Thom Matthews in it and ROTLD. I was almost 14 when I saw TFC and was 16 when I saw Jason Lives. My one regret is not seeing A New Beginning in the theater.

[@TobattoVision]

💯

[@jordanmerchant8757]

Oh man Return of the Living Dead is killer! I love that movie. And Jason Lives is one of my favorite Fridays. When I think of Jason I think of a zombified dude, not a normal looking guy in a mask. I like part 3 but Jason appeared too regular.

[@johnnatt4875]

I love everything about this movie, other than Jason's look. He looks to clean for a zombie, and the gloves are really bad.

[@TakeScareMedia]

Seven is mine. Lives killed it too.

[@Joemckenzie-85]

I love Parts 3,4,6,7,8,9,X.

[@ThomasDrish]

Aw, you didn’t like part 5?

[@Joemckenzie-85]

@ThomasDrish I enjoy parts 1,2,5 but love the other movies more lol

[@NathanSmith-kb4vf]

If you saw 3 and 7 first you hadn't seen Tommy yet.

[@Vampyre_Media]

I've always really liked Jason Lives

[@Whitleythe13th]

1-7 the Paramount year's are the best to me and part 12 aka remake...6 was the first one that I saw in the Theater...

[@VictorFerri-g7e]

Best one in the franchise. Not the crappy trashy final chapter

[@allright]

7:27 wait for real, I'm kind of shocked to hear that, they have been married since the 80's, that's a long time, where did you hear this.

[@PlanetCHH]

I interviewed him a few years ago and he talked about it

[@allright]

@@PlanetCHH Okay, it's kind of depressing when you think about it.

[@legendarypsychomike4309]

Most friday the 13th top three is part two,four and six.

[@MartinSmith156]

I like the movie but did it save the series? It was the lowest grossing of the first 6 films at the box office until part 7 and the first one not to debut at #1 or gross over $20 million domestically

[@kupikeppo]

Maybe the point is that fans loved it and has over the years. Theatrical run isn’t everything you know (home media)

[@bobcobb3654]

It then went onto do gangbusters on video and got fans back on board after being disappointed on part 5. I know that in the age of social media, everyone is an armchair Daryl Zanuck, but a movie’s financial life goes beyond the theatrical run. Especially in the 80s and 90s.

[@MartinSmith156]

@@bobcobb3654maybe but part 1 did the best of them all at the movies and on home video

[@bobcobb3654]

@@MartinSmith156duh. Doesn’t Matter. Paramount didn’t keep making these movies because each one out grossed the last. They did it because they were all extremely cheap in Hollywood terms to make and were always profitable. After the lackluster reaction to part 5, part 6 was to see if they could get the fans back, and it succeeded.

[@cropsykrueger490]

Well it saved it long enough to make trash after it.

[@augustbaothlynott7263]

Saved it?

[@dominicstclairstudios6324]

New beginning didnt kill The franchise the real killer was jason takes manhattan then the franchise was revived when new line cinema took over

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

I love part 6 but don't like the police brutality scenes.

[@wadzilla1974]

In the bottom 3 for me! Far too much comedy, no tits, superhuman Jason....... Nothing tops the 1st 4!!!

[@Weedy_McWeedy]

Oh yeah, have you seen the movie “One Dark Night” directed by Tom McLoughlin? It has Meg Tilly & Adam West in it.
