Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter Review 

Gordan is one of the smartest characters in the series! Psycho killer? LEAVE!

Oh yeah, Tommy was supposed to take up the mantle as Jason. Well, they kind of explored it in A New Beginning, even ending on a scene with Tommy wearing the Hockey mask and getting ready to kill someone, but that scene got retconned in favor of turning Tommy into a badass dude who has a tooth to pick with Jason. Honesty, as interesting as Tommy Jason would be, I think it was for the best that they ditched it.

"the car realizes it's in a horror movie..." made me break down.

13:00 To be fair, the actress almost caught hyperthermia filming that scene. She'd been doing takes for awhile and one of the film crew actually had to basically say, "Fuck you guys. If you don't get the take the next time we're done."

Trish has no pants on because she's actually wearing a dress...for real. Back in 1984 "shirt dresses" with belts were popular. So, she's technically not running around in her underwear. Also, I saw this in the theater back then (I was 11 and I snuck in...lol) and believe me, no one was laughing during Rob's death....they were cheering. People cheered for every death....it was awesome.

Damn, didn’t know George McFly met Jason before he met his own son in the fifties.

Oh god he’s killing me HES KILLING ME!!!!!!

Thank you Jason for keeping the hitchhiking banana eating hippie from ever reaching Canada. My country is a slightly better place since that crisis is averted.

easily the most rough and violent kills in a friday the 13th movie as a whole.

Decker, I am in awe of your output. Somehow you manage to release videos faster than any other review channel I watch, while still maintaining solid quality throughout. Well done, sir.

9:28 "HE'S 10 YRS OLD!" Some nerd: "actually he 12"

This was definitely the high point of the series for me. It's highly entertaining with decent enough characters, brutal kills (the dick impalement and the skull crush in particular), Jason's best death, and it really felt like they were trying with this one, unlike Part 3. It felt as if it could be the end of Jason's journey. The worst part was no doubt Rob's death. What a total letdown. He was built up as a vengeance-seeking badass, but then cries out the obvious and barely puts up a fight. After this one, the movies feel like a different series almost.

At least Jason was nice to hand McFly the corkscrew. However that footage proves Biff indeed was innocent of McFly's murder and cheating on Lorraine Baines.

20:30 I thought that was Jason making a grand entrance when I first saw this movie

Actually in a comic named "Freddy vs Jason vs Ash : the Nightmare Warriors " *SPOILERS* Tommy instead of growing up to being a Jason like killer, he grows up to be a Jason hunter, and ends up killing Jason, once and for all, by the end of the story. P.s. Definitely recommend the two mini-series to any fans of Ash,Freddy or Jason, there's tons of references and it really gives closure to the Friday and nightmare series, like grouping up the survivors of the two series being killing some off

"Btch he's 10 years old" HAHAHA gets me everytime

He's killing me, he's killing me!

We need more Crispin Glover dance scenes.

Really enjoying this review series Decker! Fun fact, according to Tom Savini there was a different idea for Jason's Demise "Being an Inventor, perhaps Tommy took apart a Mircowave. He got the shooter and put a reflector behind it, with a variable control on the voltage going from one to ten. He shows it to Rob by melting a toy solider. At the end, he could grab this thing, stick it in Jason's Head and turned it up to ten until Jason's head exploded" (paraphrased from Crystal Lake Memories).

6:39 To everyone who says Jason never had a voice/never spoke, here's your counter-argument.

This movie should've been called "Jumping Out of Windows in Slow Motion".

Corey "Fieldman"

Trish is unfairly hot. On a more relevant note this is my favorite Jason movie for how creative and scary the kills were to me.

Final chapter is my favorite Friday the 13th movie. I like the characters and the story, and I also find this the scariest version of Jason.

Tommy was supposed to be the killer in the 6th movie but since many hated the 5th movie they changed there mind and brought back Jason

Well, we finally find out what happened to Tommy in the F13 game. He's... well, still trying to Kill Jason... again...

After looking at Crispens dancing, looks like it wasn't just the Cocaine during his Letterman interview.

You should do the Michael Myers series,it would be fun to see for the future.

That is one exceedingly strong dog! It just walked straight through that window like nothing!

Lisa Freeman who played the nurse in the beginning of the movie will go on the play Lorraine's friend Babs in Back to the Future along with Crispin Glover

Well it was the finale chapter of Jason being human

Hey Decker! I had heard somewhere, I don't remember where, that the shirts Trish was wearing in the movie were her father's (the characters father, not the actress). She was wearing them as dresses because she was missing him due to her parents being separated. That's why she was never wearing pants (because typically women don't wear pants while wearing a dress). Again I don't know 100% for sure if this is the case, but that's just what I have heard.

The event that you mentioned where the person getting killed was shouting for help? Was Kitty Genovese, and that moment also inspired the backstory for Rorschach in Watchmen.

12:25 " it's back to as the MACHETE TURNS " that was funny as HELL

I love the start of this movie with the campfire start, it makes it seem like Jason's a ghost story/urban legend that you tell around a campfire

Decker Shado: The Anti-Spoony

The car realizes it's in a horror movie and stalls HAHAHAHA and then she expects the child to know anything about it

0:55. We're looking at you Alien Resurrection.

Paramedic: What's wrong with him ? Police Officer: He's dead

Jarvis family lives right next to Crystal Lake and they don't know about the 25 fuckers who been slaughtered over the last 2 days.

I think the answer to your question at 22:07 is that he just confused Jason. Interpretation of what Jason is thinking "what the fuck this makes no sense"

"Bitch he's ten years old!" He's also a Nerd meaning he likely knows more about that car then the guy that built it does

Back before Crispin Glover was creepy.....

You have surpassed expectations from me as a movie reviewer I feel you show enough of the movie and you have valid options. You also have a very impressive list of movies to some most reviewers don't even touch. So yea I am subbed can't wait for more!

when i first saw this movie i looked at all the teens as adults, now i'm 30 and i see them as kids, time goes by fast

A salto out of a sugar glass window, on to a narrow wooden ledge, kicking away planks, nearly hitting your head on one on the way down, landing on a thin mattress covered with leaves, hoping the planks won't hit you as you're doing all this half-naked? I'm seriously impressed. I can't imagine they did a second take for that?

Weird Al's long lost brother?

Make sure to talk about each actor that plays Jason and what they do with the character in their performance.

This used to be a middle of the road movie for me, but looking back at it, it’s definitely one of the best.

Tommy fix the car, Tommy fix the lights, Tommy take out the killer. Tommy had better get a really good allowance

I think being killed groin first is more painful than anything. Jason shows no mercy to a man's jewels.

10 Year old Tommy Jarvis has like 7/10 Repair, good enough to fix a car.

(at around 35 mins) The strange dance which Jimbo performs at the party was contributed by actor Crispin Glover and was based on the eccentric way he actually danced in clubs. On the set he was dancing to "Back in Black" by AC/DC as the scene was filmed. In the film however an edited version of "Love Is a Lie" by Lion was dubbed into the scene 58 years old at the time, Ted White is the oldest actor to portray Jason Voorhees. White, who died in October 2022, was the longest-lived cast member (96 years old). Last film in the series to pick up immediately where the previous film left off. Though he disliked being involved with the film, Ted White is considered by many fans to be one of the best Jasons. Joseph Zito had previously directed The Prowler (1981), but they wanted him to both direct AND write Friday the 13th Part 4. He said, "But I'm not a writer," to which they said, "Here's a contract paying you double to write and direct," and then he responded, "Yeah, I'm totally a writer." Zito used the extra salary to hire Barney Cohen to somewhat secretly write the script. Their process entailed Zito taking nightly one-hour phone calls with Phil Scuderi to discuss the story and script for Final Chapter. The next day Zito would meet Cohen in an apartment in New York to relay what notes and ideas Scuderi had offered, which they would then turn into new script pages to be sent later that day to Scuderi in Boston to be discussed again over the phone that night. (at around 9 mins) The nurse's name tag reads "R. Morgan, RN," an homage to actress Robbi Morgan, who played Annie in Friday the 13th (1980). Ted White refused to talk to the other actors during production because he thought socializing with them would diminish their fear of Jason. (at around 10 mins) The workout video Axel watches is Aerobicise (1982). It stars Darcy DeMoss who went on to have a role in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986). at around 1h 2 mins) In one scene, Rob talks to Trish about his sister, Sandra. Sandra was one of Jason's victims in Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981). At the time, this installment of the series contained the most nudity and gore. On a budget of $1,800,000 the film made $32,600,000 at the box office. (at around 9 mins) The moment where Jason's hand moves in the morgue was done by Ted White after Joseph Zito had called cut on the scene. However, the camera was still rolling, and caught this movement, and it was included in the film. This is the only film in the series to shoot new footage using sets and locations from a previous film. The beginning takes place on the set of Friday the 13th: Part 3 (1982), before moving to a new location. Ted White was uncredited as Jason Voorhees by his own request because he felt it would hurt his career. Years later he grew to accept his role and started appearing at horror conventions. Director Joseph Zito was opposed to using clips from previous installments at the beginning of the film. It has been suggested that the only reason Tom Savini worked as make-up artist on this film was so he could accurately age and properly kill the character he created from the first film. During filming Kimberly Beck, who plays Trish, experienced strange occurrences including a man watching her while she ran in the park and strange phone calls at all hours. This stopped when production was over. Jason actor Ted White and special effects artist Tom Savini at first were confrontational with one another. But once White found out Savini had experience with stunts, the two became friends. Director Joseph Zito wanted Jason's hockey mask to explode apart in the opening credits, but there was not enough time in post-production to pull off this gag. Even though he plays her son, Ted White (Jason Voorhees) is actually 11 months older than Betsy Palmer (Pamela Voorhees). The Jarvis family's dog, Gordon, was named after a recently deceased dog which a friend of director Joseph Zito owned. Jason's death won the Golden Chainsaw Award in Dead Meat's "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" kill count. Kimberly Beck stated in the Crystal Lake Memories book that she does not like the horror genre. In addition to this, she also said that she feels this film was not even a B-movie, but rather a C-movie. Final film of Joan Freeman. According to Jason performer Ted White, Corey Feldman maintained a bratty attitude on set. Feldman maintains that this was due to poor treatment by director Joseph Zito and that during filming of the scene in which he attacks Jason with the machete he was pretending that the sandbags he struck were Zito. Even with his attitude, White stated in interviews that Feldman was a very impressive actor. Chronologically, parts 2, 3 and 4 take place over the course of five days. During that time Jason kills 34 people. As a result of spending so much time in the water during filming of her death scene, Judie Aronson actually developed hypothermia due to the freezing temperatures of the late night shoot. at around 1h 26 mins) The scene at the end, in which Corey Feldman hacks up Jason with a machete, was done by having Feldman chop away at two sandbags. The poster shows the hockey mask with a knife on its left eye socket. Jason is defeated with a machete going through his left eye. Ted White is the second tallest actor to play Jason at 6'4". Body Count: 14 First film on the series where Jason doesn't kill anyone with his machete, instead he gets defeated by Tommy with Rob's machete Corey Feldman wore a skullcap to create the illusion that he had shaved his head.

Hey considering how heavy those old tvs were, that's a deadly weapon lol

the hell is jasons problem with windows

This is one of the few watchable friday the13th films

in the upcoming friday the 13th game the twins are wearing the same outfit as the flirty girl!

You should have more subs

To be fair, it could now be seen as the final chapter in where Jason was a human serial killer instead of a superhuman zombie - apart from the reboot.

16:25 sounded like you said "Jesus got no fucking chill" Hell, I ain't complaining!

IT'S JUST LIKE STAND BY ME! TEDDY AND GORDIE!!!!

This movie is utterly brilliant.

Fun Fact for fans of Friday Four!: The dog survived the film and was re-united with Tommy briefly before being taken in by his sister... ... Said sister then cutting off all contact with him as he's moved to several different mental institutions, due to both thinking her brother is insane coupled with a conspiracy by the town of Crystal Lake trying to suppress knowledge of Jason before changing their name to Forest Green. Just before Friday 6 I believe, Tommy also wound up at Weston Hills having very bad dreams

Say what you will about it Decker, but Crispin's dance is one of my favorite scenes of the entire franchise. He looked like he was having a blast. Great, hilarious review!

I came back to this...I just love your reviews man

When you do part 7 make sure that you do a bit on when you look up the uncut kills because those kills are some of the best it just too bad that they were taking out.

10:12, I almost spit my coffee out

STOP MURDERING ME! Jason: 'k'

Sister: can you fix it Decker: bitch he's 10 yrs old 😂😂😂😂

The Best in the F13 series! Any other Die Hards agree?!

"The car realizes it's in a horror movie and stalls!" HAHAHAHA

16:40 I had forgotten about the BRUTAL window ejection!

Biff hired Jason to kill Crispin Glover because this is the alternate 1985.

how long did it take to grow that hair? good review. 👍

Still my favorite Friday movie

Tom Savini does a killer job with the make up effects. Of all the Friday the 13th films, this one had the most brutal kills.

18:41 "Using the moment to get a Jackson Family Style nose job." my donation to this. lol

Jonathan Davis from Korn worked as a mortician or mortician's assistant. So I guess there might be something to that theory after all!🤣

Tom sivini played the banana when Jason killed the hiker

Lol Corey "Fieldman"

Crispin Glover was in this movie?

I am on sick leave because of an injury and I can't use my arm so no gaming for me, was going out of my mind with boredom when I found this series so thanks! Also I work at a hospital where we have the morgue and do the autopsies - the people in the morgue are some of the best and most likeable people I know. Also the coroners who perform the autopsies will freak out if you tell the story of how you got injured because they don't like the idea of blood gushing and cut tendons - how about that.

At 23:25 you can see the knife prop quiver from recoil while the kids is chopping at Jason lol.

Lawrence Monoson is one of my favorite actors, and he is very underrated. You need to watch the cult classic "The Last American Virgin"

you could do a summer of Micheal Myers from halloween

Ya know decker, I'm curious how your videos are made and how long they take per review, Perhaps you could do a How I make videos Video. Oh and on a secondary note, correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you planing a graboid biology video a while ago?

Maybe Tommy's solution represents an "other" mentality going on in Jason's mind. He was a pretty deformed looking child, so he stood-out at the camp; everyone treated him as if he was different, so in turn, Jason always saw himself as different from them. It thus became easier to separate empathy with virtually anyone that Jason goes to kill, because they do not fit his definition of "like-me." When he sees Tommy now baring a similar visage to himself, it gives him a brief moment of pause to possibly contextualize that maybe everyone isn't so different from him after all. That maybe the method behind Jason's killing-spree stemmed from him dehumanizing his victims in a way. But seeing Tommy looking like him, probably gave him insight that other people are capable of being exactly what he was; a scared child who was caught in a situation they couldn't control or escape from.

there is a goal to make tommy playable in the friday tbe 13th game

It still sits with me to this day, when my little brother informed me of seeing this film. He was something like 8-10 at the time, and his best friend's older brother would screen marathons of slasher flicks for his little brother and friends. Irresponsible? Who knows, it was around 1992. Anyway, he tells me about how in one of the films, there's a little kid character, and he has monster masks, and at the end of the movie he shaves his head to look like Jason and then goes crazy and hacks him to death with a machete. After being informed of this, I could only confirm for myself at the time that my little brother was full of shit, and was lying about seeing the Friday the 13th movies all along, because there's no chance in hell someone would make an ending that stupid. I also thought the same thing when he told me that Freddy's Dead ends with Freddy's daughter stabbing him with his own glove and then killing him with a bomb. ...I was dead wrong on both accounts.

It could be the final chapter of “human”Jason, and then we got Zombie jason

Happy Halloween Decker!

Sooo... what happened to the mom?

22:00 The sun is so hot my face is burning. Where's your mask? I dont have one. Oh, that's not right little boy should have a mask.

Decker: hi I'm Decker shado and welcome back to the KILL count. Oh wait wrong show, zhit

Two questions about this movie I've always had: 1) why does Jimmy not immediately scream in agony when a motherfucking corkscrew gets plunged through his hand? and 2) how the fuck does Tommy know what Jason used to look like as a kid?

7:40 wait what happened during his childhood?

4 friday the 13th movies down 7 to go let's hope decker can hold out until freddy vs jason

The Friday the 13 game is going sweet to see and play and love to hear decker's thoughts on it.

As a folicely challenged person, you are not just shaving off your hair like that kid. He'd have been a bloody mess. Use a trimmer first, then shave.

Useless Factoid: I was born on Friday the 13th and turned 13 on Friday the 13th! LONELIEST BIRTHDAY EVER! LOL
