Corrected entry: The bed is soaked with blood after Jason kills Sandra and Jeff, yet when Vicky comes into the room the white sheet on top is spotless.

Correction: This was already corrected once. Jason most likely took a clean sheet, lay on top of the blood, then put the clean sheet on him. He was simply tricking his next victim to come closer to strike. With Jason between the blood and the clean sheet, the blood wouldn't soak into the clean sheet.

dewinela

Correction: There was, but it might have been too soon. We don't know how long since he killed Jeff and Sandra, so it might not have had time to soak through yet, not to mention that the sheet would have tented over Jason and probably didn't make contact with the blood. Point is, it's possible so the posted mistake isn't valid.

dewinela

Correction: Both Jeff and Sandra were impaled on the bed. Jason couldn't have possibly laid over all of the blood obviously. And there was a lot! The sheets were completely soaked with blood and when you cover blood with another white sheet it will obviously soak through. When Vicky entered the room there was no blood in sight.

I also just watched this scene. Not only was Jason under the sheet, but Sandra's body was as well. Vicky even addresses her as she approaches the bed because you can see her hair on the pillow. The sheet on top of them would never make contact with the blood with both of them lying between it and the sheet.

Corrected entry: In the opening scene, the head of Mrs Voorhees that Alice finds in the refrigerator is a completely different head that the one of her on Jason's shrine to his mother at the end of the movie. They look nothing alike.

Correction: The opening scene takes place just two months after the first movie, so the head was still relatively "fresh." There is then a bit of a time-jump after the opening scene, and the rest of the film takes place five years later, as indicated by dialogue during the campfire scene. (Paul specifically says "For five long years he's been dormant.") We can assume that the head simply rotted more in the meantime, which is why it looks different.

Correction: I've taken showers where all I've done is rinse off without getting my hair wet. Maybe that's all Alice wanted to do.

dewinela

Correction: When you are washing your face under the shower head your hair is going to get wet.

Why? It's easy to keep most of your hair dry while still washing your face by simply leaning your head back.

Jukka Nurmi

Thank you. Another way is to keep your head and face away from the sprayer, cup your hands, let water pool in them and splash them on your face. Point is, there are ways to take showers without getting your hair wet. My hair is longer than Alice's was in this movie and I can do it, so why wouldn't Alice be able to?

Plot hole: While underwater all of those years, Jason didn't seem to age. He seemed to be a child when he grabbed Alice at the end of the first film. How could he grow up to be an adult after only five years, as Paul stated during the campfire story?

Suggested correction: Dialogue in the film hints at what actually happened, which is that the end of the first movie was some sort-of panicked dream/delusion Alice had, while the real Jason has been living out in the woods ever since he "drowned," and thus aged into an adult. (Whether he actually did drown and came back to life, or escaped and fled out into the woods because he was mentally challenged is up for debate.) It's admittedly shaky, but the movie does hint at an explanation, so I don't think this really counts as a mistake.

Revealing mistake: When Jason is on top of Ginny's car, she reacts to the pitchfork through the roof a second too early. (01:10:50)

Suggested correction: She had just seen Jason through the window before he disappeared. Then the pitchfork comes the roof. Just before she screams, you can hear the pitchfork tearing through the fabric of the roof. That's what's she's reacting to.

dewinela

Also, when you see the car and Jason is reaching in through the hole in the roof from the passenger side, it's pretty obvious she would have seen him before he stuck the pitchfork through. That could be another reason she react before we see the pitchfork.

dewinela

Corrected entry: When Ginny goes inside the shack she finds the shrine Jason made for his mom, with Terri's body on the floor. When did Jason find the time in between the killings to haul Terri's body all the way back to his shack and then go back to the camp?

Correction: Perhaps the shack wasn't all that far from where Jason killed Terri. He might have had time to take her there. Barring that, you should remember that Jason lived in those woods. He'd know every shortcut and could probably make it to the shack and return easily and quickly enough.

Plot hole: Jason drags Vicky's body down the stairs. A minute later, Ginny and Paul come in the house and see nothing. Jason even has time to hide Sandra and Jeff's bodies by the time Ginny and Paul go upstairs. Not possible in a two minute time frame.

Suggested correction: We're not given a specified length of time between Vicki's murder and the time Paul and Ginny returned. He could have had enough time to hide Jeff and Sandra, but then they arrived as he was dragging Vicki down the stairs (you could hear them outside as we see this). We didn't see every closet or room, so the bodies could have been hidden anywhere.

dewinela

Plot hole: When Jason is in Ginny's cabin, she's under the bed seeing where he's at. So how did Jason manage to get up on a chair and wait for her to come out without her seeing him do this? She had to see him do that, but when she pokes her head out, she's surprised to see him there.

Suggested correction: She was a bit preoccupied with the rat that got up close and personal to her. She heard the creaking, but when she looked back, she didn't see him, assuming that the sound was made by him exiting through the cabin's door. The creaking was actually him getting up on that chair, but she wasn't looking at the door because the rat was in her face.

Other mistake: Vicki enters the darkened cabin and flips a switch on a nearby lamp, to discover the power is out. But as she grumbles and crosses to another table lamp that is unplugged, she plugs it in, and suddenly the whole cabin lights up.

Suggested correction: The power wasn't out, the bulb in the lamp burnt out. We see this happen when Terry enters the cabin earlier looking for a knife. She flipped the switch, then there was a flash of light before going dark.

Other mistake: Right at the part where Crazy Ralph is looking in on Paul and Ginny. Ralph hears a breaking of a stick behind him. You can see Jason put the barbed wire up and over the tree. How is that possible? He would have to whip it around the tree, not over it. (00:30:20)

Paul: Ginny, put your car on the lot, okay? This place is starting to look like a Burger King. Um, where was I?
Ted: You were about to give your "Let's keep our shit together" speech.

More quotes from Friday the 13th Part 2

Trivia: The movie ends with a shot of Mrs. Voorhees old wrinkled head on Jason's shrine. Originally her head was supposed to open its eyes, and smile. Steve Miner comments on commentary how he decided to get rid of the idea, as he felt it would make the movie come across as more cheap and hokey than normal.

More trivia for Friday the 13th Part 2

Question: What was that first body in the woods that looked like Muffin? It couldn't have been Muffin because she shows up at the end right?

Answer: It never really says what the body is, but I'd assume it were a rabbit or some other small woodland creature. It can't be Muffin because, like you said, Muffin appears later on.
