I know the Voorhees burger was more of a gimmick but it's actually pretty genius. All those holes made, help cook the meat in better. Though I'm quite curious what the Jason fingers would look like. Chicken Fingers that look like severed fingers or since they're boneless, the chicken and bread looking like mini machetes.
I consider the paramount and newline films to be seperate from each other. The creator seems to agree. Sure, I didn't really like parts seven and eight, but I still find them a little entertaining. The Newline films are just hard to sit through. Although I will admit that Jason Goes To Hell has one thing going for it. It has the best death scenes in the whole franchise.
Well what happened with this film was New Line wanted the rights to do a Freddy vs Jason but in the mean time needed a Jason film. So Sean the director of the original said the guy could have the job if he found a way to take the Hockey Mask out of the film.Cause remember he directed the first film about a vengeful mother he never came up with Jason in a mask serial killer.He dosent like the franchise beyond his own film. So Adam Marcus the director wrote a script that ignored 8 an picked up after 7 about Jasons long lost brother Elias who gets Jasons body out of the lake after 7 an eats his heart taking his power. It would have shown flash backs about Jasons family in the occult along with Tommy Jarvis as the hero trying to kill Jasons brother. New Line refused to release a movie not featuring Jason an felt the script was to dark an removed from Friday. So it was re written to focus on Jason an the name Elias was given to the father. The film dosent ignore part 1-8 it simply dosent call back to part 8 because the ending was so stupid. The director was told to set the movie after how ever Jason came back after 8 because 8 was a flop an every one hated it.Its the same thing they did to Freddy after Dream Child flopped.Its not that 8 diddnt happen its just that nobody liked it so we skip over how he came back.
Alternate reality where Jason becomes a camp counselor and makes sure other kids don't almost drown, that Jason found Jesus, and gets a tearful sendoff when he goes to heaven.
In the real last installment of Friday the 13th Jason finds Jesus and goes to heaven while all of the teenagers he killed burn in hell for using drugs and having premarital sex.
Jason Goes to Hell, New York, to space, to the future, to the bottom of a lake for a few years, fights a Carrie rip off, and throws down with a comedic dream demon...... He goes on so many zany adventures. :p
Funny thing-Jason goes to Hell is honestly the only F13 film I've seen all of. I wanted to see it in theaters because I'd missed seeing Freddy's Dead in theaters, and I wanted to see what I figured would be the LAST Jason movie. Though seeing Freddy's glove pop out of the ground blew my mind-cue 20 minutes of me and my friends yelling at each others as to who would win.
I never knew this movie teased Freddy versus Jason, that's actually amazing. Also I kinda liked Jason X only because A. Jason is revived via NANOMACHINES, SON! and B. the ending implying he crashes back unto Earth exactly over Crystal Lake to begin his killing spree anew is pretty hilarious, like a Twilight Zone episode or something.
Diarra Harris Well I mean Jason could literally crush someone's body or fold them in half, so I think his strength might be above average don't you think.
Dukes back story was in the film but was removed for time.Originally in the climax when the girl goes to get her baby Duke explains years ago before the second film he was boating on the lake an Jason killed his girl friend but Duke escaped.Since then hes been targeting Jason an learning about him an how he can be killed.The director of this film wants to do a spin off film about Duke.
Well...this is the ultimate mixed bags of Ft13 movies: likeable characters, Creighton Duke, some not bad special effects, law enforcement being useful for once (sure he didn't stay dead but blowing him up gets them points for effort). On the other hand there was a crap ton of slowness in between the action points. And while the body switching stuff gets points for trying to do something different, it still didn't work. Better than Jason x...
krystalfan The strange thing is that, like with the title of part 4, it wasn't titled that way to say it was the last movie. With part 4, it was supposed to be the final chapter _for Jason_ and that every sequel after that would have a copycat killer (like in part 5), and with Jason Goes To Hell, "The Final Friday," is supposed to mean the end of the series being called "Friday the 13th," as, like Brad said, New Line Cinema weren't allowed to use the Friday the 13th title. Update: I found all this out in the documentary "Crystal Lake Memories."
Jason Goes to Hell is alot better if you look as it as taking place in the Evil Dead universe where Jason is a roided out deadite brought back life by his mother using the necronomicon. Plus, the kandarian dagger changes looks every movie, and the dagger used to kill Jason looks oddly familiar to begin with. Its all there, I'm not fucking crazy! Let me live in my bubble, damn it!
Well Halloween keeps retconing itself an changing its time line.Were as Nightmare an Friday take in every movie for better or worse.The Friday time line all though flawed holds together well enough to understand
That is how it works in the horror comedy Final Girls. theater goers wind up transported to a Friday the Thirteenth parody and nudity summons the Jason.
@Saintedemu11487 gaming Corp. Damn straight. Michelle Clunie was so fucking sexy, they should've made an alternate version of the scene where the kill (as morbidly awesome as it is) doesn't happen and it ends like a Skinemax sex scene. ...so why did she marry Bryan Fucking Singer?
@Sean Ashmead: as a longtime Snob fan since 2009 (around the time Spoony hosted a few of the Snob episodes on his site), I still miss seeing Brad with hair.
That towel must have been superglued on. Impressing acting dedication or standard operating procedure for special ops in this universe? Also holy shit that actor was in X-Files, yay, I totally forgot about that! (He was X/Mr X, Mulder's second informant after Deep Throat's death)
0:32 Spoiler alert Jason could of found Jesus in his final moments Oh, snob the idea of your Jason series and the Christian exploitation reviews coming together we can only handle so much of your glory Side note this whole review series of the Friday the 13th movies has literally made Friday the 13th my favorite day of the year, sad it is coming near the end, really hope they start making more Friday movies so we can continue this
It's ironic he was able to star in a trilogy beginning to end of basically The Ragin' Cajun Jason aka Hatchet while NLC can't figure out how to make a proper fucking reboot in the days of Blumhouse spending $3 on movies that make 100M worldwide.
+Steven Tyler Rocks I see Kane Hodder & F13 as being like when John Terry was playing for the England national side; every time the captaincy came up, every one & their wife would say ' it's gotta be Terry!'... yet England's' record under Terry's captaincy was nothing short of abysmal. And yes, I'm aware that this is an odd comparison.
Didn't morning DJs Mark & Brian have a cameo in this movie as cops who got killed by Jason? EDIT: I think they were the cops who got their heads smashed together.
Koen Van Damme I’m still sad that Freddy And Jason fighting pinhead will never be a thing (that was a proposed thing for Freddy vs Jason to end on it was gonna be both of them falling through a hellivator or something then pinhead shows up saying “hey boys did you miss me!?!” Fucking copyright people raping RU-vid wasn’t bad enough but now they have to murder potential with a TNT vibrator
I think the biggest problem with the body switching plotline is that it changes the style of many of the death scenes from typical slasher kills to something...well, less like a Friday the 13th movie. The first one had a completely different killer and the Jason in part 5 might've been fake, but at least they managed to stick to that formula. Come to think of it, the whole movie doesn't really feel like a Friday the 13th movie. Jason Goes to Hell is pretty much falls down to being somewhere between Halloween 3 and Halloween 6 of the franchise.
This movie was ok. The first part with the sexy agent was awesome tho but why did Pamela Vorhees have a copy of the Necrinomicon and why did she have the Evil Dead Dagger
In the Freddy vs Jason vs Ash comics it explains that Jasons mom used the Necronomicon to bring Jason back to life, although the timeline is kind of fuzzy on when this happened.
Actually he reviews these every time a Friday the 13th comes around, which it will this Friday. The Halloween movies are the ones that are the October tradition.
Fun fact: that Evil Dead Necronomicon actually becomes relevant to the franchise's plot in a comic sequel to Freddy Vs. Jason, which brings Evil Dead into the mix: Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash. It's a pretty good read, but it was sadly never made into a movie when Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell demanded it end with Ash killing both Freddy and Jason and winning outright, which the writers knew wasn't exactly fair to the fans of the other franchises.
trustno173 one of the original endings of FvJ involved Pinhead confronting both of them. It’s really frustrating when you find out about all the plans they had but instead decided to play it all safe.
trustno173 there are tons of alternate endings. Like one had Freddy winning, one had Ash showing up at Crystal Lake, one had Freddy and Jason going to Hell and fighting in a sort of arena, and then there’s the ending they actually shot with Freddy killing the main girl.
I just wanted to thank you for putting out so much content in October. I know it much be a lot of work and I'm very appreciative. You're awesome!! Love the show!! Never stop.
He's got until July of next year before he gets to Freddy vs Jason, and if he wants to push it back even further, he could do the remake first and do Freddy vs Jason in September of 2019 as a finale to both franchises.
"It will be fun" "No Louise he's a serial killer" "I'll make it out of the remains of meat man to get the real rotting flesh flavour" "No it'll kill a customer and give us a bad reputation" "Let her do it Bobby it'll be fun" "LINDA NO!!!"
Good job man! I always loved this movie (and have taken my fair share of shit over it) Yeah, it's silly and ridiculous (not like the rest of the series, I know) but it's fun as hell! It's always good to see someone treat it with some love.
While the body-changing thing and all the magical rules of Jason (which came straight out of butt-fucking nowhere) were 2 strikes against this movie, I think the thing that hurt it most was something that I've never heard anyone mention, including you. The music. It's just pure shit, from beginning to end. It's the cheapest stock-music I've ever heard in a wide-release movie. Gone is the "ki, ki, ki ... ma, ma, ma", and the intense theme music that stayed pretty much constant through the series. Somebody who took their fucking job seriously composed that music. It was effective. It made the other movies seem less cheap than they actually were. This music had the exact opposite effect. It made the movie feel cheaper than it actually was. WAY cheaper. Maybe they weren't contractually allowed to use the old theme either, but that's no excuse for the new music sucking this much. It's beyond lame. It's annoying. It's funny when it's not supposed to be. Yeah, they did pretty good with the visuals (now that you mention it). But a movie is an audio-visual experience... and somebody apparently didn't care to spend much on the audio part.
I despise Jason goes to hell. One of the worst Friday's. And the only one I don't own I hated it so much. I love Jason X. I know there's a lot of cheese that doesn't really belong in the franchise but they do it in such a likable fun way I can't help but be entertained by it. On a side note am I the only one still waiting for a new Friday to come out? And with the GREAT hope they're bring back Kane Hodder as Jason? D:
I actually like the body changing aspect, it kinda explains why Jason's look changed so much in the first four movies. So... this is a guilty pleasure for me, and I'm with you on Duke's backstory Brad, I have no idea why they decided to cut that.
He doesn't get an opinion for liking either. Channel Awesome has really lost my interest for the most part. I still like Lewis, mostly because I can agree with 90% of his opinions on comic books. Of course I like Brad, but I miss 80's Dan and wish he would bring it back.
@shinkilrah When it was just Doug and a camera, I used to watch his stuff weekly. These days, there's just too many people vying for screen time, and it takes away from the review.
Should have mentioned that the crate from Creepshow appears in this. It's the Friday the 13th/A Nightmare on Elm Street/Evil Dead/ Creepshow cinematic universe.
The Necronomicon is a weird entity in fiction. In many ways it is just a book, the greatest compendium of the supernatural ever created, but it is just a translation of a translation of a middle eastern book on the occult and isn't the only Necronomicon in its original source material (It is one of like 5 versions, and the original they are based on wasn't even called the Necronomicon). Yet it seems to get a HUGE upgrade whenever anyone else uses it.
This has to definitely be one of my top favorite Jason Goes to Hell reviews and your humor is fucking awesome. Cracked me up for sure. The only scene in this movie I really liked was the Freddy hand because that was the first time they really got together. Other than that, I'm not a fan of the movie or Adam Marcus at that. But Jason, just the character in general I'm a huge fan of.
The "what about the end of Jason Takes Manhattan turning him into a drowning child" scene can be reconciled as a hallucination (or vivid imagination) that only the main girl saw. The surviving guy didn't explicitly say that he saw a child.
SPOILERS aroung 6:15, to 7:00 (just to be safe ;) The punchline, "I'll take the Garden Salad, with the Ranch Dividians Dressing" Has got to be on the "Mount Rushmore" of Snob Jokes! He actually makes a joke, out of an event that killed around 40 to 50 people and not only makes it funny but also does it, in good taste ;) LoL That is not easy to do. Encore, Mon Ami! Bravo!
I don't know about a back story for Duke, though I would definitely watch a separate Duke movie that included his backstory. Couldn't agree more about Jason actually being in Hell. What would that have looked like? A bunch of naked teens hacking at his limbs while he turned from monster into little boy into his own mother and back again over and over for eternity? With fire raining down everywhere and all the girls' tits having laughing mouths full of rotten teeth where their nipples should be? Maybe even a glimpse of a dick? Or just some bush? Alas, we will never know.
He had one it was even filmed but deleted. It was him boating with his girlfriend on the lake before part 2 an his girlfriend was killed by Jason but he escaped an learned all the secrets of Jasons life so he could kill him. It was deleted for time.
This was actually the first Jason movie I saw all the way through. I was very confused, but I assumed I missing eight movies worth of build up and lore... then I saw Phelous' review, and NOPE!
Good review. I definitely laughed when you rolled the credits after the heart beating in the beginning. I feel like when Jason died all those times in the previous films, he already went to hell. I feel Jason's been to Hell so many times, I can barely count. The only difference with this movie is it has more of a Satanic and a supernatural element to it. There's more demons and hellish things in it. Plus a method to send him to hell. Since killing him doesn't work anymore like it did in Final Chapter for example.
