Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter

Corrected entry: The amount of banana eaten by the hitch-hiker changes between shots, as Jason kills her. (00:19:00)

Correction: This is incorrect - in the first shot there is less than in the second shot. However in the second shot she has squeezed the banana out of the peel, so it seems like there is more.

Hamster

Corrected entry: When Terri goes outside to go home, as she walks towards her bike, you can see someone upstairs walking by the window. Must be a crew member because Tina and Jimbo are in bed having sex and Ted, Sarah and Doug are watching the film downstairs. Paul and Samantha are dead. There is nobody left in the house. (00:51:15)

SAZOO1975

Correction: It was her twin sister in the window. She even says "You slut!"

Correction: She's looking upstairs because she knows her sister is up there. But the shadow is a different window. Different shape.

Corrected entry: When the car drives by the tombstone that says Pamela Vorhees, it says she died in 1979. But she didn't die until 1980, when the first Friday the 13th was made.

Correction: This series of films doesn't take place at the same time the movies were released, so Mrs Voorhees didn't die in the same year the first movie was made. An example of this is that Part 2 takes place in 1984 but came out in 1981.

Corrected entry: When Paul dances with Tina, she takes off his cap and puts it on, but a few shots later, Paul has it back on. (00:38:35)

Correction: There's a time gap where he had enough time to take the cap back.

Mortug

Corrected entry: If Friday the 13th Part 4 takes place just a day after Part 2, then why would people be staying at Camp Crystal when in Part 2 Paul told the group that the camp was off limits to anyone? It even had a sign in Part 2 saying "No Trespassers" when Sandra and Jeff reached the camp.

Correction: Camp Crystal lake is not just the name of the lake but the town. The group is living in cabins in the mountain area and not on the lake itself, as you can see when they visit the lake they have to drive and then walk to get to it. They are nowhere near the campground from the original movie.

SAZOO1975

Corrected entry: On the box art, it shows a cut in the forehead part of Jason's hockey mask where the ax hit him in the previous film. The cut is in the right side of the mask, but at the beginning re-cap of the series, the girl puts the ax in the left side of his head.

Correction: This is a mistake on the DVD cover, not a movie mistake.

Hamster

Corrected entry: When Jason first wakes up in the morgue, he kills two hospital employees inside the hospital (a semi-public place) and leaves them there. Later in the movie, Rob Dyer (the hitchhiker)in trying to convince Trish Jarvis that Jason Voorhees is still alive, he says that two hospital employees disappeared. Their bodies were not discovered in the middle of a hospital? (00:14:00 - 01:02:40)

Correction: Jason could have just moved them; he has done that before.

Corrected entry: When Trish is inside the tent you see a shadow of a man outside. However it is dark outside so there could not be any shadow cast on the tent from the outside. (00:55:40)

Mortug

Correction: There's a campfire nearby. That's what casts the shadow.

Correction: It's pouring rain. There's no campfire at all. Rob has a lantern lit in his tent.

Corrected entry: When Tommy is looking under the hood of the broken down car, it shows someone approaching and you see that they are wearing grey trousers. The person ends up being Rob, but Rob wears black trousers. (00:30:20)

Hamster

Correction: The grey trousers belong to Jason, not Rob.

Corrected entry: On the lake Jason stabs Sam in the stomach through the bottom of the lifeboat. Then later Paul goes after her and the boat is still there fully inflated. Shouldn't it have deflated?

Correction: Many inflatable rafts doesn't carry any air in the bottom. So tearing a hole in the bottom doesn't make them deflate.

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Jason rips Jimbo from the door, it shows a close up of his hand. Looks and tears like rubber. (01:17:15)

Trivia: When Judie Aronson, who plays Samantha, was filming the scene in the raft where she gets killed, they were doing so many takes. She was wet and cold and wanted to warm up. The director refused until he got the shot he wanted which made Judie cry and freak out. Ted White, who played Jason, was so upset about this that he demanded they get her a blanket and let her get warmed up or he would walk off the set and not come back. Needless to say, Judie got warmed up very quickly.

Question: When Gordon (the dog) went through the window, did he voluntarily jump through it because he was startled, or did Jason throw him out?

Answer: You can see from the inside of the house Gordon jumping through the window by himself. It shows him jumping on the table then through the window.
