It just sounded cheap, which, above all, didn't give off the right theme. I think music can make that much of a difference. And say what you will, but Kane actually was Jason, so it was his call on how to make it work. He believed that Jason should stealthly stalk his prey, and since he was one of the most-memorable Jasons, I won't argue. But it still is fact that he ran in earlier ones. Heck, the revived Jason in The Final Chapter was probably the most active Jason. He ran, he dodged stuff, he climbed stuff, he swam. All while being sneaky as hell.

I actually didn't mind the reboot, but it was definitely missing one all important thing, and that would be some chilling music. Do the right thing New Line, get this man back into the fold!

He's a stuntman. And when he played Jason, he was a stuntman in makeup who knew how to heave his chest dramatically. That pretty much sums up his creative contributions to the franchise.* Just because he got to play the role more than any other "actor" doesn't mean he has some special insight into how the character should be played. It means he got lucky enough to be paid for this special skill-set more than once. *Oh, and knowing how to puke on cue. If that's not on his resume under special skills, it should be.

I just got the sequel on Tuesday. Can't get enough of those zombie hordes running at you. The AI in Left 4 Dead 2 is dumber than it is in the original game. Also, on the 360 the game slows down sometimes. Besides that it's AWESOME. I would love to see a film where "zombie" Jason actually runs. It seems that all modern zombie flicks have zombies that run. If Jason runs in the sequel to the remake, my wish will have been granted...because it seems like he actually died at the end of the remake (before he jumped out of the lake at the end).

I thought, for the most part, that many of the directors bad ideas for Jason were saved on acount of Kane's input. I have to agree with the fact that Jason did everyone a favor by not allowing the character to run. Kane said he above making Jason run in any F13 film that he was involved with. He did however admit that he liked the idea of giving Jason speaking lines in Jason Takes Manhattan because it would help establish him more as an actor instead of merely "the stuntman who plays Jason." Kane said he urged Rob Hedden to give him speaking lines in that film, that if Rob did so Kane would give him a $20 autograph for free. Obviously, Rob agreed and Kane Hodder was never allowed to speak as Jason ever again after that.

Perhaps zombie Jason doesn't run? I don't know, but to me it seems scarier that he doesn't have to run to catch you. He's going to get you one way or another. I like that Kane was demanding. He felt strongly about his portrayal of Jason and stuck to it. I doesn't bother me that Jason ran in the early ones. But to me, Jason drowned in 1957. So I guess what I'm saying is that he's always been a zombie of sorts. If you listen to crazy Ralph, who I doubt ANYONE would argue with, in the prologue to part 7, he says, and I quote, "There's a legend 'round here...a killer buried...but not dead...they say he died as a boy...but keeps coming back..." I'm gonna buy Ralph's version and go with that. He's always been the living dead as far as I'm concerned. Jay, I know, you're the only one that ever admits to loving JGTH!!! Idk though, I kind of liked that synthesizer in part 9. JX however, is another one that I don't remember much of except for the opening score, which I kind of liked. Oh well, it is you and I alone to carry the torch for JGTH my friend. I for one would have loved to see more of Creighton Duke's backstory. How bout you? Bryan,

He will tell the director "Jason doesn't run" and won't run or whatever. I don't think it has ever been an issue that Kane was the one that started it but the fact that he has been very demanding about that part. No other actor that's played Jason was so direct and blunt about running. CJ just put his spin on it, but if the director told him to run I'm sure CJ would have ran. Kane however has stated numerous times that Jason doesn't run and will not run. In JGTH he told the director No on several different occasions. It just gets under my skin that he would say that when Jason ran in the majority of the main 8 films that Jason was a prominent feature in. I guess I should say 6 films then since he wasn't in one, or five. He ran in two, three, and four so I guess it would be half. Either way, it bugs me that he refuses to run.

Wasn't that scene also played by Bradley? However that wasn't the point. My point was kind of that it wasn't Kane who introduced the non running style to the Jason character which many seems to be thinking. Even though CJ did speedwalk, he didn't run which was what I wrote. Many may think that the "zombiewalk" is just stupid and makes no sense when it comes down to catch up with people, but I dig that. And I think that's probably because when I watched these movies when I was just a kid, it somehow seemed more scary that way. By the way, I really dug your games.. :) Wasn’t Roy the paintballer with glasses who tried to put the “tree in place”? Wasn’t that scene also played by Bradley? However that wasn’t the point.
