I love the virtual sleeping bag scene. Those girls were so funny and the kill may have ripped off Part 7, but it is still a damn good kill.
As for Jason killing his virtual mother,it would’ve been different. Still, Jason’s revenge for hss mother’s death was what kept him from dying.

you are speaking to Jasonfury’s heart with this JGTH talk, Christian.

See that was actually employed in the Jason X novels (yes I sadly read them). By having Jason kill his mother it removes his only weakness, his love for his mother. Part 2 and the remake used this to their advantage. Without it he is a true juggernaut.

I enjoyed Jason X (and JGTH) and while I would have preferred a darker approach to Jason X I do think removing the scene of Jason drowning his mother was a good move. It just doesn’t fit even if the context was to show how evil he had become.

The VR sequance couldve been way better. However I love that they used Manfredinis classic music for that scene.

I agree, his early drafts were a lot darker and more interesting but I’ve always had a soft spot for the movie. I still can’t stand the remake or Freddy vs. Jason but the original series never gets old. Watched A New Beginning for the millionth time the other night and still love its sleaziness! Just wish Jason Goes to Hell would get a bit more love from fans (especially the uncut version), sure it was a rip-off of The Hidden but the original was a rip-off of Halloween so why care? In fact, JGTH would make a pretty good retrospective too, hmmm…

Thanks for stopping by, Christian! I am glad that everyone is enjoying the look back at Jason X. I really like Todd’s original script. I would have liked to at least had the opportunity to see his vision on film to make a determination for myself on how it would have translated to the big screen.

Great article….. The first time I saw Jason X, I was not happy with the film. I couldn’t believe this is what I had been waiting for(in terms of sequels)almost a decade.(1993 to 2024) When the film came out on dvd, it started to grow on me. Now, I take the film for what it is and it’s a fun movie. The only problem is the music. Jason X and JGTH has the worst soundtrack of all the films. Manfredini’s music for the early films is briliant, but the music of these two films make them more cheesier then they are ready are. If they would have kept Farmer’s script intact, Jason X might have been one badass movie. What could have been… That happens a lot!

Great article, Christian. Finally fans can learn more about the original script from a great film. Too bad about all the changes. Maybe someday we will get to see more of it. Thanks and keep the good stuff coming.

Why would Jason kill his mommy? Maybe because he knows it’s a virtual reality trick? Pretty interesting.
