    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The original plan for the film involved Ginny (Amy Steel) from the previous film being confined to a psychiatric hospital. Suffering from the trauma inflicted on her during the ordeal with Jason, she eventually finds that, intent on revenge, he has tracked her down, and he begins to murder the staff and other patients at the hospital. Steel ultimately declined the offer to return to the series as she was busy with other projects, but has since said that she thinks she should have accepted.
    • Goofs
      Jason has no wound in his shoulder, despite being stabbed deeply with the machete at the end of Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), which took place the day before.
    • Quotes

      Andy: Goddammit, Shelly, why do you always have to be such an asshole?

      Shelly: Sorry. And I'm not an asshole, I'm an actor.

      Andy: Same thing.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits leap out at you in 3D.
    • Alternate versions
      The new broadcast television print, as seen on Spike TV, not only removes all references to Debbie being pregnant, but it also removes many of Chuck and Chili's opening scenes to omit the minor marijuana references. In fact, the first time we see either of them is when the whole group is standing over the old man in the road.

    The beginning of the iconic mask
    Another classic sequel to Friday the 13th, the one that started the killer with a hockey mask. Very memorable scenes and setting in a countryside. Still entertaining franchise with a few original scares, so it doesn't feel repetitive yet. So far, really liked all first three movies, ever since I was a child... If you liked first two, this one will be great, too.
