starring Kane Hodder, Kelly Hu (add more)
Genres: Horror
Continuity: When the boat is sailing along, it reaches the 'Camp Crystal Lake' sign. When Jim throws the anchor over, it should have sailed well past it, but it has actually gone backwards.
Continuity: By the radio on Jim's boat is a bottle with a boat in it and the cork in the bottle is pointing to the left side. When Suzi gets up to check on the noise, the bottle is visible and the cork is now pointing to the right side.
Audio problem: When Jim says "Gotta throw the anchor over" his mouth is slow and out of sync.
Revealing: When Jason is resurrected in the lake, the water is quite well lit, even though it's night and there aren't any real light sources to light the lake up.
Continuity: When we see Jason lying on the bottom of the lake, we also see some chains lying around. At first we see the upper chain lying out on the edge of a plank. But when Jason gets electricity through him we see the chain has moved in to the middle of the plank.
Continuity: When Susie hears a noise, Jim investigates wearing jeans and no shirt. When he returns, he is wearing a top. And then in the next shot, he is shown getting into bed wearing only underwear.
Revealing: Throughout, through Jason's ripped-up gloves, you can see pink, human fingers. Jason's whole body should be rotting and corpse-like, and regeneration isn't a correction.
Continuity: There is a large blue cooler by the stairs in the boat, under two postcards. But in the shot where Jason clips the harpoon, before shooting it, we can see the cooler has vanished.
Plot hole: How would Jim have been able to get that hockey mask? it even has the replica axe mark from where Jason was hacked in Part III by Chris.
Continuity: The arrow that Jason shoots at Suzi which hits the wall beside her changes angle when he rips it out of the wall.
Continuity: After Jim is stabbed, he smears blood over a window. Later when we see the boat drifting towards the harbour, we see the window and the smears of blood are now much different.
Continuity: When Sean is given the present by his father, there is a polystyrene pad next to the computer navigator, which is sticking out. In the next shot it's pushed in neatly.
Revealing: Throughout the movie, the black cloth covering Jason's eyes under the hockey mask is really noticeable, especially when he grabs onto the rope to climb aboard the Lazarus.
Continuity: In the film Sean and Rennie are on board the Lazarus. Sean puts both of his hands into his jacket pocket to get Rennie's gift. He never hands it to her, but In the next shot she has it in her hands.
Continuity: When Rennie gets the present from Sean, she opens it twice in two shots.
Continuity: When Wayne is taping J.J., between shots his left hand moves from down by his side, to on the focus of his camera.
Continuity: The position of the black glove on J.J.'s left hand changes between shots as she switches off the tape while playing her guitar up on the deck.
Continuity: When Jason is walking down the stairs toward J.J. his left foot comes off the last step but in the next shot it's his right.
Audio problem: When J.J. is jammin' to her song she notices Jason and screams. She then runs away, and magically the song that was playing on her tape player has stopped.
