Always loved this kill and this scene. One of my faves. When I was a kid back in ‘82, I remember how this scene and kill got a great reaction from the audience.

This film deserves a 3D bluray rel in the release.
I watched the film in the theater when I was youner and it blew me away.

Here is hoping for a 3D release.

This scene is so cheesy it is just awesome. Like the decade that spawned it. Nuff said. And yes. They decided it was going to be 3-D long before they had a script, or even a director I think. I remember reading about it in Fangoria, or it might have been Starlog… I can’t remember. I haven’t seen those mags in years. In any case it’s another gem in the collection of gems. All gems have some flaws, and that is what makes them special. Just one Jason fans opinion.

As cheesy as the film and Rick’s death are, it’s still one of my top three favorites of the series. I love the chilling atmosphere invoked by the cinematography, especially during the night sequence. I love how ominously the wind blows as things start to really pick up, leading to the exciting chase between Chris and Jason. Richard Brooker made for an excellant Jason, one of my top three favorites. He realy carried himself as Jason, and his performance still creeps me out to this day. The movie itself has an almost timeless feel with few early ’80s cliches, save for certian fashion (and hair style) faux paus. But I think the most telling aspect of the movie is the feeling of utter isolation and dread implied by Higgins Haven’s secluded location. It felt like the most (at least for me) out-of-the-way place in the whole series–except maybe “The Final Chapter”, as the Jarvis house was pretty remote.

Unlike Paul (from Part 2), we know for sure this “dumb country boy” didn’t make it, and his end was pretty cheesy/brutal all the same. Too bad, as he might have had a shot with Chris, who is one of my favorite final girls.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the film is a single brutal truth: wearing Mrs. Voorhees’ sweater may only protect you in the video game. Sorry, Rick, should’ve stuck with the Mary Jo Conrad. ;p

I love that scene! I agree that the shot of Jason holding him with his hand over his mouth is chilling! How about the scene earlier with the snake jumping out? You can really see the wire there!

it was scary when Chris was calling for Rick and Jason had Rick pinned with his hand over his mouth. It was a smooth artful transistion from gagging Rick to crushing his head!

The script is one of main issues with Part 3, aside from the acting. The filmmakers seemed too preoccupied with the 3d to care about anything else.

I’d blame the script rather than the actor who didn’t get a chance to shine, but Rick is the biggest piece of wood I’ve ever seen in the series, confirmed by his death scene where his face pops open like a Mahogany closet.

Noted and understood.

Getting back on topic…I did not like the character of Rick but the actor sure was funny in interviews. He seems to be a sport about it all.
