This is my favourite movie of the series. The song is almost amazing! The song is a fitting and almost sad finish to the greatest decade of horror movies.
This song is so good, it perfectly captures the feel of everything, Grimly & Rough streets of Retro New York City, Nostalgia, Calmness & an overall vibe, Glad Jason Takes Manhattan used this great song
I wanna know how people think this Friday is bad Other fridays can be considered bad like Jason x which doesn’t have the name so doesn’t count Anyway There’s something special about an 80s slash thriller
@@TheOfficialMelendez it was too large. Crystal Lake is small & insular. This was one the countrys biggest cities. Other films seem more plasable than a man walking around NY in a mask at night.
I love this song but it's kinda also painfully nostslgic. It feels like a perfect end to the 1980s, the more sleazy side of NYC, and Paramount's involvement with the Friday the 13th series.
This song automatically takes me back to the 80's. I wish I were there right now. I loved all these movies and the soundtracks. This song takes me back to my childhood.🤧🤧
Fallen angels take to the street It's an empty dance and so incomplete Their hollow voices whisper the cry Farther down the line there's a reason why You've tried before but you can't buy a clue No matter what you do The darkest side of the night Burns like a fire for the wasted lives And there's no way you can fight Show some respect and try to survive On the darkest side Neon shadows that point the way Never lead you out it's a game they play The madness comes and the madness goes It's a simple world but it's all they know You tried to fix it but there's nothing you can do You just gotta see it through The darkest side of the night Burns like a fire for the wasted lives And there's no way you can fight Show some respect and try to survive On the darkest side In this city you give and they take You reach the limit you bend and then you break And there's no escape, there's no escape. No The darkest side of the night Burns like a fire for the wasted lives And there's no way you can fight Show some respect and try to survive On the darkest side
This is my favorite Jason movie hands down. My only wish is that more of the movie actually takes place in New York, only the last 3rd or so is in the city. But overall just an amazing movie and I watch it over and over again. Also love this song used in the movie, works so well and so fitting
I play this song every year at Halloween season to get that fall season bewitching hour feeling; Halloween 1, 2 & lll, and of course, F13 Jason take Manhattan, shout out to Metropolis for this classic 80s tune; I miss this era!
I still remember renting this and watching it on VHS as a 10 year old back in 89. Grew up on the 80’s horror because my mom turned me onto it at an extremely early age. 😂
*@western cowboy2547 : ,: : : : : :;;You will find the more you make your way through life??? The more that you'll surprisingly get to like as much as know well Western ! The was the way it was like for me at least.......especially once I hit 30 which was 18 years now hard to believe,and definitely don't feel it,much less look it,as everyone I tell my age to either thinks I'm fibbing,or am just find it that much more hard to believe!!!! Maybe it comes from not only having real good genes' but that I'm just about always on a bike ! Anyways,GOD bless you as well as family W.C. 2547,hope you have the most pleasantly delightful day!!!!!!! And hope that your enjoyment of the world of music is every bit fulfilling,rewarding,as much as it is every bit to your liking!!!!!!! From the birds in the air,to the most deftly-jammed pumped-out rock concerts' that are there for you awaiting your visitation as much as your eager anticipation & curiosity!!!!!!!!! Stay strong,as much as so very open-minded & dreamful when it comes to the world of music!!!!!!!!! Best always !* darktrooper2099
One of the producers wanted Robert Plant to perform this song. This is the first Friday the 13th film I saw. It was on VHS back in 1990. Remmy is one of my favourite final girls.
My favorite version of this Friday the 13th part 8. Metropolis. The Darkest Side Of The Night. I remember this movie. 1989 I think. Well this rocks and Jason is still bad ass in 2023.
This song is MAGIC,,,,, Cause that is so much about New York, !!! You can see all, but what a great thrill to be in time Square and the feeling ,,,, one of my Best City that i See So Far,,,,,,, My Best Friday The 13 Th Stan Meissner is A God,,
Misty Acker If this movie didn’t take place in a boat and better acting as well as the setting in New York it might’ve been one of the best movie in this franchise
Man that's a good riff. I remember laughing out loud as a 14 year old in the theater to the movie, but they were smart to put the best part of the film in the beginning.
I loved this movie , it actually does continue the story from the original friday part 2, where Jason first shows up , he just kept getting stronger and stronger, definitely not a fan of the other ones after this one, to me it all ended in New York.
Yes agreed but, love watching Kane kill it playing Jason every time. I can overlook the shortcomings of the films, kane’s performance was and is legendary, really stands out!!
Possibly because the great unknown and sleaze of NYC at night with a stalking murderer on the loose. I think I know what you mean. I felt something too.
Even though I didn't mind Jason takes mamhattan. It was panned by critics that's why they did not continue with jason in New York. The dark humor behind this film is in new York Jason just looks to be another weirdo walking the streets. In the diner or on the street he blends in and doesn't stand out cuz of all the crazies in New York.
This movie is way too overhated. The shot of Kane Hodder in Time Square is the best scene in this franchise in my opinion. The kills were the best in my opinion. And why is it not enough to get Jason in New York for 50 minutes. A ton of movie don't include the part of their title until the last 4th of the movie. And yet they aren't picked on. The mask is better than the rest in my opinion. The soundtrack is definitely the best and it's just overall an underrated movie. It's in my top 3 Friday films and it's my personal favorite from this franchise. I just feel totally alone on that. People always overexagerate saying Jason is in Manhattan for only 10 to 15 minutes. But if you pay attention, the last 50 minutes of the film are in Manhattan. 40 are on a boat. And that fine. But people are mad because they wanted the whole movie to take place in Manhattan. But they gave you what you wanted and they got all pissy about it so they overhate it. And the original was even better. Having Jason on a skyscraper, Jason boxing Julius in Madison Square Garden, and having a tense chase on the Brooklyn Bridge. But after the studio didnt give them nearly enough money, they couldn't do it. And it's a shame. From what I know, a couple million from the 5 million they got to make was used on time square alone. They gave them a pitiful amount of money for such a massively ambitious project. Even though I love this film very much, i still know it only made 14 million at the box office. Which saddens me. Everyone lost faith because everyone wanted to see this when it came out. But once they heard the news, almost nobody went to see it. And that's when the franchise went into a downward spiral. The next 2 piece of shit films would be very disappointing. And my biggest disappointment from this franchise would come to fruition. Kane Hodder wasn't chosen to play Jason in Freddy vs. Jason. Everyone went into a riot about it. Even Kane wasnt some people's favorite Jason, they still wanted him to play Jason for that role. Since he was the only person to play Jason more than once. He played him 4 times. But they got just a stunt actor to do it and he didnt do well at all. It was a major missed opportunity that will sadden me till I die. But they cam back with an amazing entry with the remake. Top 3 no question. But it ended on a good note at the time of this comment. But at least I know that I love this film. It just upsets me a bit that I can't really find others who do. But 9.5 out of 10 for. I'd only add the scenes they cut from the script. That would perfect it for me.
I recently started watching the Friday The 13th movies for the first time and it seems that I seem to enjoy quite a few of the ones that most people dislike, and I find some of the ones that people like, boring. You're not alone; I finished Jason Takes Manhattan last night and enjoyed it, especially the second half (the first half was okay); I really loved the soundtrack and NYC locations (I'm a sucker for movies portraying the gritty and grimy NYC of the 60s, 70s and 80s). So far, here is how I rank the films: 1) 6 and 7 2) 3 and 8 (Manhattan) 3) 4 4) 2 5) 1 6) 5 In which order would you rank all the films?
@@DougieYT I do agree it should have been more in Manhattan. I just think it's exaggerated how long he's in New York. Everyone always says 15 minutes when it's actually 40 to 50 minutes.
@@angelasala3963 PT Barnum said it so long ago Theres one born every minute, don't you know Some make us laugh, some make us cry These klowns only gonna make you die Everybodys running when the circus comes into their towns Everybodys gunning for the likes of the killer klowns From outer space Killer klowns from outer space The ring mast shouts "Let the show begin" Send in the klowns, let them do you in See a rubber nose on a painted face Bringing genocide to the human race Its time to take a ride on a nightmare merry-go-round You'll be dead on arrival from the likes of the killer klowns From outer space Killer klowns from outer space There's cotton candy in their hands Says the polka dotted man with a stalk of jacaranda They're all diabolical bozos Oh look around what do you see Tell me what's become of humanity From California shores to New York Times Square Barnum and Bailey everywhere If you've ever wondered why the population's going down Blame it on the plunder of the likes of the killer klowns From outer space...

@@ReelTimeXtended he never drowned he was always able to swim Freddy before he became a nightmare he tried to drown Jason then someone called him then Jason got out and then hid away in the woods for 20 years and he’s pissed because he wants to get revenge
Very good film, unique setting, good characters and I really enjoyed the part of the film on the ship. It really gave the sense of isolation and nowhere to run, I understand though the main criticism, that most of it should have been set in New York City and the ending makes no sense. Clearly riding on the success of part 7 - A New Blood, this film - part 8 tries so hard but ultimately stumbles.
