If Rob Hedden did get the money to make the movie like he intended, it would’ve been bigger, but to say if it gotten better, I don’t know..we probably never know. But I sure as hell would go and watch it as often as I do with the movie it is today.
Julius kicking Jason’s ass and vice versa, would be much bigger and I can see it in my head…to bad that didn’t happen. Now the series is starting al over again, so maybe by the fifth installment ( since they combined parts 1-3) Jason is going to Manhattan ( for real) and they can re-do this movie with bigger SFX and a more satisfying Jason Voorhees sculpt. Who’s to say…as long as the series can go on for another 30 years or so, I’m already happy

Depends on how it was done.One thing I wonder was why he wasn’t just randomly acting killing New Yorkers. For it’s practically required! He’s New Jersey boy! Or do New York and New Jeresy no longer hate eachother.

I loved this installment, I don’t know what you guys are so disgruntled about, it was just different and still eerie,, after part 7 they just needed to do something up to date/revamped, might be my favorite F13 after part 6 Jason lives.

I hope some company gets an offical Jason Takes Manhattan figure released soon.

I love Jason Takes Manhattan. It’s my favorite Jason look and movie. The only things I would change would be more gore and have Jason kill more people in New York and the subway.

I just imagine that reunion in which someone came up with the Part 8’s idea: “Hey, I’ve got it!, why don’t we send Jason to New York?” – and some other guy answering – “Yeeeeahhh!!!, that’s a great idea! why haven’t we done it before?. Your’re a Genius!”…

No comments…
Mr Miner, please, come back…

The only really great thing about this movie for me is the basic idea of changing the setting. Too bad they failed miserably in their attempt. The film is still fun to watch, but I can’t take it seriously as a Friday the 13th movie. I’m 100% behind people that want to take Jason and put him someplace new, just as long as they don’t get carried away. Thankfully, they’ve already sent him to NY and space, so surely they can’t do any worse from now on…or can they?

Well Said Scott G..I love the begining of the movie as well – its like no other friday movie. sets a great tone – i just wish jason could have gotten to NYC alittle faster.

I mean really – take part 8 for what it is. They tried something new and they had to. Since part 4 sales were going down and down. Its not like part 7 was a HUGH HIT at the box office. I read all this stuff that ppl put on here about part 8 – “o stick to the plan and give the real fans what they want” doesnt matter what they do for the real fans. the real fans should stick by it. plus if they made movies just for the “real fans” then all the friday the 13th movies would be straight to DVD. the movie makers want a hugh hit like the 1st first movies.. but look at the time part 8 come out – 1989. Jason and Freddy movies were going down NO MATTER WHAT THEY DID (sales). It was the end of a era. and it was sad.

I love part 8. Maybe its b/c i loved all the friday movies b/c as a kid they all scared the sh*t out of me. I liked part 9 when it come out. yes i got older and so did everyone else – meaning by the time jason x was out – i didnt understand it, where friday movies were going. but hey it was for a new friday the 13th movie Go-er

I am happy with part 8 and i am happy that the REMAKE come out and was good. Kids and ppl then never saw a fulll friday the 13th movie, loved the remake. Plus Friday the 13th remake was a CRAP LOAD better than Nightmare remake.

I understand its all about money with movies and hollywood and thats fine. So with that said i see why the friday movie makers do something a little differnet each movie. but between the lines and texted – its still a killer killing teens with naked girls (hell yeah) kids doing drugs and stuff like that. pretty much its the same dam song but just a different dance. all in all there are 12 movies to pick from (thats great) we all have ones we like and dont like as much. but we all do love watching jason kill some teen in a cool unbelieveable way!!! and girls naked!!!

take care ppl and be good to eachother.

Fangoria at the time said it should have been called JASON TAKES THE LOVE BOAT. I’m inclined to agree. But it’s a double edged sword – the city scenes work great because they were saved for the climax.

It would have been better if they set the boat time inside a NY apartment building or something, that way they could still spend so little but have some NY style characters getting killed.

Jason Takes Manhattan has some interesting parts to it. The ending was horrible and when Jason was without a mask, it looked horrendous. I do like certain parts of the film – when he climbs the dock and we see the Rangers billboard – that was interesting and old New York City in the 80s with graffiti – now most of New York City is cleaned up and in Times Square it’s not that bad with the graffiti. The song and voice-over in the beginning were awesome as well.

This was one of the cheesiest Jason movies ever made. I still prefer it over all the movies after it…..except for the remake. It’s funny how Predator and Jason moved from the forest to the city around the same time. What is it about Hollywood putting movie monsters in the city.
Oh well, let’s just hope they never make Jason vs King Kong.

This is not a Friday the 13th movie to me but rather a Jason film. That’s fine. My problem with it is that there are gorier episodes of Seventh Heaven. Someone should take it and CGI some blood in the god-damned thing. That would improve it heaps.

Jason didn’t take Manhattan because the Muppets already took it, and he wasn’t going to mess with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem
