6. 5/10. Seemingly the finale to the franchise only this time for good. I thought the idea of Jason possessing people was at least original. Maybe it would've worked better for someone else but I doubt anyone other than Freddy Krueger could've done it. Granted I can see why some people didn't like it with things like the body possession, his niece, etc. New Line Cinema tried, but they didn't seem to quite get the psychology of Jason Voorhees. I don't fault Adam Marcus who helped write the screenplay and directed, a dream come true for a fan obviously. But here, maybe they should've rewritten the script. Still it's an enjoyable watch.
Visible crew/equipment: In the finale, Jessica runs over to Jason from behind and she stabs him in the heart with the dagger. Then, Jason lashes back and hits Jessica, and she goes flying backwards. Absolutely anyone can see the large blue crash mat that she lands on (cropped/edited out in some versions). (01:20:25)
Robert Campbell: I'm going to say a couple of words to you and I want you to say the first thing that comes into your mind.
Creighton Duke: Okay.
Robert Campbell: Jason Voorhees.
Creighton Duke: That makes me think of a little girl in a pink dress sticking a hot dog through a doughnut.
Trivia: This is the only Friday The 13th Film, First (1980) to X, or the 10th (2001), that Jason's face isn't seen.
Suggested correction: This is not the only movie where Jason's face is never shown. In Friday The 13th: A New Beginning Jason's face is never shown either.
Question: Before taking possession of Deputy Josh, why did Jason shave off the mustache?
Answer: There isn't much of a feasible in-movie explanation. In truth, the entire scene was added by the director because he felt the movies were pretty sexist in that it was mostly women who were either nude or sexualized. Thus, he added an inherently homo-erotic sequence involving one man shaving another stripped man to "level the playing field" so-to-speak. The only real explanation I could think of is that maybe the creature just thought it'd feel uncomfortable transferring to a man with a mustache. But even that's shaky at best.
