Kane, you always will be the BEST Jason Voorhees of all. Kane brought more character to the role than anybody that ever dare to wear the mask. He talks with his emotion he brought to the movie. My name is John & i’m a security officer.

Kane Hodder fuckin’ blew as Jason! Although Mears did a good job, I thought. Ted White or Brooker, that’s a toss up for me and my favorites.

Old Joe Clark,

“The Town That Dreaded Sundown” was alright but I didn’t think it was scary because I’m not a pussy like that. The DVD was on sale at Walmart once and I didn’t even use my employee discount to buy it.

Old Joe Clark is a philosopher of sorts. Jason was a total mountaineer hillbilly in Part 2 and I think it was a good thing that Steve Miner started changing that about him in Part 3. Jason also got stronger in every sequel so if you track his strength backwards, then, yeah, he is also at his weakest in Part 2.

One thing that I agree with The Walmart Man about is when he points out that a couple of the kills in Part 2 that are very good. But wasn’t Warrington Gillette only in the scenes where Jason didn’t have his mask on? Steve Dash is the guy that was Jason for most of the movie if I’m not mistaken.

Part 2 Jason is the best. The wheel chair kill from Part 2 is one of the most brutal in the whole series. Also, the double impalement on the bed was a stroke of genius. Anyone who says otherwise just doesn’t know the series. Jason ran in Part 2 because he meant business and had a job to do. He didn’t get lame until he became undead and started walking to everything like he didn’t even care. I’m amazed that Warrington Gillette’s career as a horror icon didn’t take off after Part 2. It’s a shame he is now working customer service at Walmart.

Chad, agreed.

Jimbo X – when the woman under the docks gets Jason’s machete in the head you can see the head looks like it’s CGI’d just before it goes and he pulls her up with it and the subsequent blood that runs down her shoulder is CGI’d.

When the guy gets Jason’s machete in the head and just when Jason boots him off of it I could tell his head was CGI’d at the point and the gore was too.

I kinda remember other examples but they’re not coming to me right now.

The gore was better back in the good old days.

I’m loving the idea of the original series getting the blu-ray treatment (I”m happy with how the first one looks and sounds).
(Don’t care about pt 9 on blu-ray)

…you’re all doomed…

And about CGI, I can’t stand it. Words can’t describe how much I prefer the old school special effects… It’s like with werewolves, the CGI ones in newer movies like The Cursed suck. While the ones in movies like The Howling, Bad Moon and Dog Soldiers kick ass. They should stick to the old school FX, that’s my opinion.

Christian, I feel the same way. The friday movies where Jason ran are way better. To me, zombie Jason wasn’t scary. Those weren’t really horror movies, they are more in the comedy/horror genre. Like Return of the Living Dead. They were fun to watch, but not scary. I always prefered the human Jason and the creepy atmosphere those movies had. I just don’t think parts 5 and up have the same feel that the first four had.

There was CGI gore in the remake? I didn’t notice that. Where?

By: John Robert

No to CGI’d Jason.

There was way too much of digital gore in the reboot. For me, that kinda ruined the movie.

Too see digitized blood running down a victim? Boo!

Give me the days of Tom Savini and other fabulous gore make-up artists….the glory days of the original series.

…the body count continues…

Kane Hodder was so mechanical that I began to ponder, and even like the idea of a CGI Jason for future films. I saw some of the uncut footage of Kane slapping the sleeping bag against the tree (Part 7) and it is obvious that he was getting tired after the fourth slap.

The role of Jason over time has become more physical and more out of the reach of what regular people are capable of. In almost every film he gets bigger and stronger. It would be easier to create a CGI Jason to get the right shot since you could argue that he is more of a movie monster than a human anyway. They just did this with the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator Salvation and it was one of the highlights of that movie.

I feel he died at the end of Part 3 as well Chad, especially as he was taken to the morgue at the beginning of fhe fourth film. Someone tried to justify that on here once by saying it’s because the paramedics in Crystal Lake were under-trained. Haha what a lame excuse! But he was still pretty creepy in The Final Chapter and Jason running makes far more sense than when he just mysteriously appears all the time.

By: Chad

Chad — Thu, 21 May 2009 07:58:35 +0000

I thought he died in part 3 with the axe to the head? The way I took it, was that he died then. And that the part where he came busting through the door at the end, and disappeared, then his mother came out of the lake, was ghosts. And that Crystal Lake was haunted. I could be wrong, but that’s how it came off to me. Either way, that was a great movie.

I think Kane was very good at portraying Jason as a character.
And yes Jason ran, in parts 2, 3 and 4 as he was alive…
Parts 6 onward to 10 he was dead so the running part was taken out. Unfortunately Kane took over the role in the lower end of the franchise where the films didn’t do aswell as the previous ones such as 2, 3 and 4. But Kane owned Jason, the walk, head tilt, and the mannerisms. He made Jason his own.
Thus the reason he was asked to come back for more, a total of 4 movies, people liked him as Jason that much they wanted him back, fans, studio exects, film makers so on etc. Where as all the other actors to portray Jason only did it once each. Kane was also pinned to star in Freddy vs. Jason untill Ronny Yu wanted someone a little taller and a little more built in the upper body area. So all in all i think Kane did do a good job untill he got shafted…

jason running is alright as a human. but as a zombie he needs to be slower but still aggressive like he is when hes human. michael is the one whos all slow all the time. jason doesnt have to move as fast as a zombie when he does as a human because he cant die he can with stand just about anything. and he can resurrect or regenerate lost and damaged tissue fast so it really doesnt matter. however the new friday was more intense because jason was human and he was faster because there was a chance of him actually not getting his kill which made him more deadlier.

“Derek, yeah he was pretty good in the not so good re-boot, but he did not add any characteristics to the Jason character. He played it straight up with no great character touches.”

A lot of that is shooting/editing. In the movies Kane was in, we get shots of Jason breathing heavy, so he was known for that, or the head tilt. Open your heart to Derek’s performance, and I think you’ll find positives.

“And although I did enjoy seeing a ‘live’ Jason again, he ran too frakin’ fast. It was like watching Jason in a marathon run…too fast and it looked, at times, funny/laughable.”

Okayy, but wasn’t it also kinda cool to see him frantic, like a crazy woodsman would be? And him standing on the roof looking down was cool as fuck, admit it.
