06/17/2004: Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter.

It’s my new favorite movie this week. The latest article details my ten favorite parts from Friday The 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, a movie well-liked by hardcore Jason enthusiasts, but probably deserving of a bit more attention from casual fans. With everything from the infamous machete sequence to Crispin Glover dancing like Elaine, it’s a gory, murderous, sex filled chunk of crap that I absolutely insist everyone go out and buy right now. In other news, I split the main page up because it got ten miles long again; if you’re looking for articles that are no longer linked from there, they’re here. Youuuu dead fuck.

I think Huzzahs are in order for this article! The FINAL CHAPTER was Tony the Tiger "grrrrreat!" and our review surpasses all that I could imagine regarding it! Can’t believe I’ve been coming to this site since you took over x-wrestling.com! It always makes my day, no matter if there’s a new article or I can search for older ones! Thanks for putting a brighter side on most of my days Matt!

Oh, and has anyone played the game for original NES? Damn thing was a pain in the arse to beat! Still bringing back the memories Matt! This would make a better TV show than That 80s Show ever imagined!

Meh. I still think Jason Lives is the best Jason movie.

I hated that goddamn nintendo game. Even with Game Genie codes it’s a pain in the ass to beat, which means they made the game TOO FREAKIN HARD, and the ending was NOT worth the effort.

I’m pretty much torn between which F13 movie I liked more-3 or Final Chapter. If I was actually able to you know, watch 3 in 3-D like it was originally done in theatres, it would win though.

The DVDs in the new Paramont released boxed set will be better but they’re not exactly as special as we wanted them-only some have cut scenes, only some have extras, and the discs are two siders.

Keep in mind since it’s paramont no Jason Goes to Hell or Jason X(which both sucked ass anyway) or Freddy vs. Jason(which you gotta review, Matt-they’re two childhood icons facing off!).

Freddy from Scooby-Doo vs Jason from Battle of the Planets.

Excellent review for a truly iconic horror film.

Matt, I’ve just recently discovered this site and i just want to say that you have brought back a flood of great memories to me. Keep up the great work! on another note, now that you’ve reviewed a Friday the 13th movie, how about reviewing the old FT13 nintendo game? you could do a lot with it. take care

Ghosted by Clint @ 06/18/2004 4:54 PM EDT


I’m sure I’ll get to that game eventually, but I’d like to give it the "Jaws" treatment and make sure I hit all of the points — that game’s a little tougher, so experiencing every last nuance again will take a bit longer.

Ghosted by Matt @ 06/18/2004 4:56 PM EDT


Yeah…to borrow a quote from Maddox’s site, that game is harder than nipples on a blind lesbian in a fish market. I never got very far in it because someone was always being attacked by Jason and it was always on the other side of the camp. Plus, most of your counselors were a bunch of suck-ass pussies except for two of them…and you never wanted to use them right away in the game…but if you didn’t, Jason would always go after them…cripes that’s another flood of memories to my brain. that game was a bitch. yeah good luck writing that one up. take care.

Okay kids, this is where I mark out and get all fan boy on your asses. I am a huge Friday the 13th fan. Matt is dead on the money with part 4. Of course for my money there is nothing better than Friday the 13th Part 3-D on DVD where it’s not in 3-D! Imagine crappy site gags such as: Yo-yo in the face, snake jumps out to bite you, and popcorn in the face! WOW! You have no idea how crappy this all is without the added benefit of 3-D.
Top 5 Part 3-D moments
5. Jason gets his hockey mask.
4. Shelly: Shelley is the fat, curly haired prankster who gets no play and then dies horribly in a "would have been cool if I didn’t see the string", death scene.
3. Jason rapes the lead heroine. (well not actually but, it’s implied)
2.The cheesy disco remix of the Friday theme that runs during the credits. If this is not enough for you to run out and cop this disc, nothing will.
1.THE BARN OF DOOM: Every freakin’ person who walks into this barn bites it. There is no logical explanation for it. No one can resist going into this barn. I don’t even know how the makers of this installment could justify so many deaths in this stinky old barn. It must be seen to be believed.

Hopefully, with the Friday the 13th boxset (chapters 1-8) we will get some cool extras. However I doubt we’ll see part 3-D anytime soon. I guess a boy can dream. Matt you have done well.

How can you not mention Doug’s wonderfully campy, brutally distubing death scene? "HE’S KILLING ME! HE’S KILLING ME! OH GOD, HE’S KILLING ME!" That should’ve made the Top 10.

Ghosted by Mike C @ 06/19/2004 1:22 AM EDT


My fav of all the friday the 13th`s. Strange I know someone who looks like jason in this movie.

Ghosted by Gurstralius @ 06/20/2004 11:53 AM EDT


I can’t believe I forgot about the disco remix on part-3. That was the greatest song ever, and if I was to become a pro-wrestler, that would be my entrance theme.

Ghosted by Casey Jones @ 06/21/2004 11:11 AM EDT


I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but in the scene where Jason is Killing Rob (or whatever the flannel guy’s name is) in the basement with the garden kills, Rob is crying out "HE"S KILLING ME..ARGGHHH!," as if Trish didn’t realize that by seeing Jason school that deviant.

check out this Friday the 13th website dedicated to Ted and ol Dead Fuck himself…JIM!!!

its got some video clips…funny shit!

Ghosted by James @ 06/22/2004 1:26 AM EDT


I have seen all but one of the jason pics and belive that this one is very well done. at the time i did not belive that is was going to be the last one. I can even remember taking my Mom to see this one and she said that there would be another one. so it was not surprize. Oddly, the only jason flick that i have not seen is PART V. seen VI but not V. no idea why. just havent seen it. maybe I need to get one of theese things that you refer to as a dVd player. whatever that is.

Graduation Day is a memorable movie. Even more so when you considered I just saw it.

So why is the trophy shaped like a hard boiled egg?

Ghosted by dfgjsfjg @ 06/22/2004 6:15 PM EDT


Part V is a ripoff it’s not even Jason in it…it’s some guy who gets pissed cuz his son is killed by another mental patient so he goes on a killing spree. However there is lots of sex and killings

I still think you should review the Children of the Corn where a homeless man steals corn and eats it raw. I’m guessing it’s the third entry in the series.

Hey Matt,

Do a review on Jason goes to Hell. I just want to see your view on it. And after that maybe "Freddy vs Jason" ?
