Honestly he's going through every discarded script (even by talented people like the Star Trek: TNG guys) and they're bad or fucking something up. The final movie makes no obvious blunders, and in this genre of absolute lore trainwrecks, maybe that's something like genius? They're both in hell (sure!), Freddy is cunning enough to break out (that sounds like him,) Jason's actual physical body emerges from hell (best compromise if you care about continuity, even casually? Yes), etc.

Freddy's glove looked the coolest in this film. It had a weight to it that made it more threatening. It's actually a great weapon from a tactical standpoint, hard to knock out of the hand, great control (it being part of the body, basically an extension).

[@TheBreezle]

I hear you, but think about the driving force and results of initial impact when using most weapons. The only thing you’d be able to do with his glove is a slash, and probably not a deep one either. Depends on how strong the eyelets for the fingers are and it would help if there was a piece of reinforcement running across the palm.

[@alexinfinite7142]

The movie had no right being good in the first place. And then it went ahead and started punching well above its weight class. Such an unexpected gem of a crossover film

[@TrainedOldSkool]

I was at a Friday the 13th panel at San Diego Comic Con around 2004 and during the Q & A somebody asked Kane Hodder why he wasn't in Freddy vs Jason and he said he was replaced because the studio wanted Jason to have sympathetic eyes behind the mask which he thought was so stupid since Jason is a serial killer.

[@TheMulToyVerse]

I get both sides though… well, ~I~ get why Jason could be sympathetic. I can’t speak for the reasons a studio would think he should be sympathetic… Freddy was a child murderer in life and a killer of upper-teens/20-somethings in death. Creep factor off the charts and no redeeming qualities; exactly what you’d want in an unrepentant villain Jason on the other hand was the victim of neglectful counselors and terrible malicious children/fellow campers Should they have known for sure that Jason couldn’t swim? Probably… Was it an intentional murder by the other campers? I still doubt it was intentional; the other kids might have assumed that the counselors would be quick to react and save Jason, making it a super cruel prank but nothing more… but things didn’t go that way; those other kids effectively murdered a disabled kid. So with Jason you have a child that was innocent of any wrongdoing, who is/was/always has been shown to love and listen to his mother (a giant mamma’s boy for better or worse) Even Pamela trying to prevent Camp Crystal Lake from reopening by killing counselors and making the site completely unusable due to its stigma could be seen as a noble cause fueled by grief and pain. She felt that reopening the camp grounds was a slap in the face to her dead son that diminished his memory ~and~ that by keeping it closed would prevent anything similar from happening to some other kid. I know that Jason has killed a *TON* of people, but among them are: 1) the girl that killed his mother, who was only thinking of her beloved son when ~she~ was the OG killer (avenged his slain mother) 2) camp counselors that more times than not are in the middle of doing similar things that ~his~ counselors were doing when he drowned (fooling around with each other, doing drugs or drinking) 3) a would-be rapist in part 8 who drugged a woman and was pinning her down Jason also has redeeming qualities that any mother would be proud of: 1) he’s saved a woman who was drugged against her will from getting raped in Part 8 by killing her assaulter so she could get away 2) he realized (maybe) that he was wrong to destroy the teens’ boombox in Part 8 and instead of killing them for getting mad at him, he chose to intimidate them so they’d step down, therefore de-escalating a situation that he himself initiated (that’s how I choose to see it anyway, hahaha) 3) he’s never hurt an animal that I can recall as he believes they are innocent creatures (according to Kane Hodder) Basically he’s a religious superhero that maybe goes just a *~smidge~* too far #OldTestament I know 100% that he isn’t, but it’s fun to spin him as such by cherry-picking his past actions against those that were misbehaving 😅😛😜 … he’s also killed a ton of innocent people and would-be good samaritans that were trying to protect those that he was tying to kill… Even in the final fight against Freddy, Jason inadvertently/unintentionally saves his “friends” by impaling Freddy with his own gloved hand. If Jason hadn’t acted when he did, those innocent teens would’ve been slashed to death by a machete-wielding maniac! 😲 Besides, it’s somewhat easy to avoid death at the hands of Jason… Ways to (usually/sometimes) survive Jason: • Don’t do drugs • Don’t drink alcohol • Don’t have premarital sex • Don’t be a camp counselor • Don’t resurrect him in the first place • Don’t desecrate his grave • Don’t try to stop him/get in his way • Don’t try to hurt an innocent person in front of him (would-be rapist in Part 8) Ways to (maybe?!?) survive Freddy: • Don’t sleep… ever… • Don’t invoke his name (gives him power)

I don't understand, what was so hard to make this film. The hard part should be getting the rights and that was already taken cared of at the point.

I just watched Jason Goes to Hell a few days ago and kept thinking I really don't remember this movie being this ridiculously bad, but the last time I saw it was probably when it came out and through child eyes. Also watched Jason X recently, but I always remember that being terrible, I actually thought it was straight to video, or the cheap look made me assume it was.

[@Misitos_]

Could you imagine the theater reaction to Freddy's hand grabbing Jason's mask at the end of jgth

[@ultramag0343]

My biggest gripe, they should of used Kane Hodder !

[@themarkiscookin]

It wouldn't make sense that freddy would be a camp counselor since both freddy and Jason were born in the 40s freddy in 42 and Jason in 46

As much as I love this legendary horror icon mashup, I hate most of the characters.

Wtf I thought I was already subbed until this popped up I'm like where the hell have you been😂❤

[@rbswords2353]

I felt one big problem was having Monica Keena as the lead.Katherine Isabelle would've been better.She just fell flat.

[@jaredwatt9846]

There was nothin flat about monica keena in the movie

[@rbswords2353]

@Brandon Brooks Well she's a putz,Isabelle's a better actress.

[@brandonspain12345]

Fun fact: Katherine was supposed to be casted for Lori but it was the director who wanted somebody else as Lori. Monica Keena said the script was a peice if s*it and only did just for the money and just to get her name out there. And man does it show.

Freddy vs Jason was great and took elements from the best of each franchise so I loved the film. Also all these pitches for a crossover sound awful.

[@ojmcclanahan689]

I think you and I watched different movies, man. I didn't think the director respected either franchise at all. It didn't seem like he knew anything about either one. I think it's the worst movie ever made. I watched it at a midnight showing opening night and I left the cinema with literal tears in my eyes because I was so disgusted with it. I had been waiting for that movie to happen for a full decade and it was just blah. The story was lack luster, if felt like a parody of a Freddy vs Jason movie and the acting was high school drama class level. Robert Englund wasn't even trying, and they royally screwed Kane Hodder. If I could collect every copy of that movie and burn them all, I would.

[@heilong79]

@@ojmcclanahan689 wow, strong opinion but as you are entitled to it, for me Nightmare 1 and 3 were the best and Friday the 13th 6 and 7.

[@ojmcclanahan689]

@@heilong79 I can agree with that. I also enjoyed Nightmare 4 quite a bit. I like Jackie Earl Haley's take on Freddy in the remake. He was creepy, kind of perverted, not a comedian and he looked like a real burn victim. I didn't care for the movie as a whole though. My favorite Friday The 13th is Final Chapter, 6 and I also really enjoyed the 2009 reboot. Derek Mears as Jason in the reboot reminded a lot of CJ Graham in part 6. I don't like a lot of cheese and humor in my horror.

[@brandonspain12345]

"Took elements from the best of each franchise." Maybe for Freddy but not for Jason. Afraid of water? No Kane? Was murdered by kids rather than a accident? Dresses like a hobo instead of a walking skeleton? Plamela how has white hair and a red sweater? Jason has long hair and both eyes? No axe wound? Crystal Lake close to Springwood? Is a good guy who protects teenagers? Runs for a brief moment when crashing Freddy in the windows? Seriously the definition of not a fan who wrote that movie.

[@yoursafeplace8476]

One of the best soundtracks of any movie, ever! I still play the soundtrack to this day!

[@kcadventures1454]

Right!?! So good! It's how I discovered from autumn to ashes!

[@AliFrankTheTank]

This movie a guilty pleasure classic 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ a great crossover, a actual plot as to why they fighting as well. Love it… Nothing beats Jason dragging the mans through the house windows 😂🔥

[@md.saunders6625]

Freddy vs Jason wasn't horrible but I think they could have done Jason better. The whole Frankenstein way of Jason just didn't work for me. Kane hodders version or CJ Grahams version would have made it better. Overall the movie did work and I'd love to see another one

[@davidpemberton5561]

What ruined this movie was simply the poor casting. No obviously not Robert Englund or Kirk not gonna try his last name, although I still would've liked Kane Hodder to have played Jason, no the teenager kids cast. Especially the lead heroine. She was the absolute worst. As well as history has shown us time and time again that anytime a musician makes their way into a horror movie, I turn to Halloween and Busta Rhymes for this example, something stinky is gonna make its way to the box office. Everything that had to do with Jason and Freddy in regards to the story I think was great, but those garbage acting kids, Yeah they all sucked IMO, are what ruined the movie. That's what was lacking in this movie, cause if you look back on the Friday the 13th and NOES movies, the teens gave just as good and memorable acting as the slashers themselves.

[@benjaminclark4030]

Even though the story sounds ridiculous, it would have been wonderful to see Lisa Wilcox play Alice again. She's my lifelong favorite final girl.

Great vid. I loved this movie. Thought it was pretty underrated.

It doesn't deserve to be underrated.

[@jakepayne2985]

Did you use a picture of Stanley Tucci in place of David Goyer?? Haha, for real

[@LordofSyn]

That's what I thought too. But the two look astonishingly alike.

[@ianbaker8017]

Freddy vs Jason was my introduction to both characters and series. I thought both of them were cool as hell and that the movie kicked ass (still think it does despite some flaws). The movie got me hooked on both the Elm Street and Friday franchises and I adore revisiting it every once in a while.

[@redpill.world2475]

Cheech and Chong meets Jason lmao that would have been a dream matchup come true hahaha would have loved to of seen that cross over happen... a lot of pot smoking topless chicks and Jason mayhem can't go wrong lol

[@nixondoesit]

In the movie "National Lampoons Senior Vacation" there's a scene where two of the characters are watching a horror movie and one says to the other something like "what if Jason had nightmares and what if Freddy could invade his nightmares" and then some years later we got Freddy vs Jason. Mad.

[@shainewhite2781]

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉

I wish we had a horror-themed Battle Royale with Freddy, Jason, Frankenstein's monster, the Wolf Man, etc.

Jason has been played by a lot of people, Kerzinger is actually my fav cause of this movie!

[@Myst031]

This movie just feels like its exactly what its supposed to be. Its very cheesy and dumb but this is the Freddy vs Jason I want to see fight, the wise-cracking Freddy and the unkillable Jason. Love this movie. The ending I saw that i would have loved is at the end it cuts back to Jason and Freddy continuing their fight in hell but a bunch of chains flying in to restrain them, then out of the shadows Pinhead comes in and says "Now gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?" Silly, but I would have jumped out of my seat, honestly.

[@fejkpirat5118]

I love it! They need to make another one.

[@thataurus2492]

I love the fact they let Rey Mysterio have a small scene as freddy during the fight segment

[@mdbsuperdave1978]

Jason won the fight but Freddy won the war. Successfully getting Jason back to Camp Crystal Lake and out of Springwood. As a few movies have shown Freddy dying in the real world doesn't kill off Freddy it just delays him from entering the dream world for a small amount of time.

[@benbrown4899]

I really liked this movie. But to this day, I am still upset by the decision to replace Kane Hodder. They were so close to perfection...

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

So the closest we got was by the writers of Demon Knight who wrote a script everyone loved and wanted to make, so they brought in Botttin to direct who’s first piece of business was to get rid of that script entirely and write his own completely killing the project he was brought in for. Thanks for nothing Bottin!

It’s been 20 years and this is not only one of my favorite summer flicks but one of my favorite horror movies too I actually didn’t find out about this movie apart from one trailer and a newspaper article Two of the most famous slasher icons finally come face-to-face in this unique crossover The project actually spent so much time in development hell plus the fact that ‘Friday the 13th’ was with Paramount and ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ belonged to New Line Cinema But once the rights switched over Jason Vorhees and Freddy Kruger could finally be in the same movie, it was just a matter of how to bring them together Director Ronny Yu from ‘Bride of Chucky’ delivers some terrific gore, fun action set pieces, and has great chemistry with these two slasher villains thanks to writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift The soundtrack is one of my absolute favorites, it has a brisk running time, and Robert Englund gives the most energy he’s had playing the killer with knives on his hands New actor Ken Kirzinger isn’t too shabby either as Jason being brutal not letting anything phase him much less a monster from the dream world This was also my first introduction Monica Keena, Kelly Rowland, Jason Ritter, and Katherine Isabelle When the movie is actually about Freddy and Jason it kicks ass, there’s great doses of humor too with slick visuals Even Freddy Krueger gets a new makeup job as we see how much prosthetics have changed There’s a glorious self-awareness that you can’t help but notice The final showdown is the absolute best part where fans get the best of both these killers duking it out Although when the movie isn’t focusing on that it’s the same ol slice and dice formula with disposable human characters even if they do match the 2000s era The conspiracy plot to cover up Freddy Kruger is interesting but it doesn’t really go anywhere Yet an overall theme of children paying for their parents crimes is apparent throughout The film was still a box office hit even if the reviews were mixed at best paying homage to both franchises that have lasted for over 40 years Whatever the case the movie still is loads of fun to watch the bloody carnage unleashed by these two horror icons that definitely came from a rocky start
