V.C. Dupree (Julius from Jason Takes Manhattan) Interview
I was thinking about his character the other day. Julius never gets the credit he deserves. He stood toe to toe with Jason Voorhees.
He was the only one who wanted to hunt Jason on the cruise ship:
Julius: “Let’s go find this mutha f*cka before he finds us”
McCullough: “You’ll do no such thing, I’m in charge here”
Julius: “School is out McCullough, okay”
He also had one of the best lines in the movie. When he and the rest of the group of Jason hunters lay out the weapons they find, his friend asks ..
Friend: “What are you taking, Julius?”
Julius: “Nothin’ …………. but this gun”
He was a badass. Anyways, V.C. Dupree was a part of an interview by Without Your Head Radio a few months ago.
Check out the first part of the radio show to listen what he has to say and give Julius his props as one of the better characters in the franchise.
By far the best character in part 8. Pretty much the only likeable one for that matter. I like the movie but most of the actors do suck in that one.
yeah but i think he has a suspect chin?
The only good actor in the movie.
I liked the dude that Jason throws from the top of the ship and impales him. But it was a very unmemorable cast. I had more of a heart for the dinner employees than the slaughter on the ship.
It’s hard for my to find things to like about this film. If I have to pick something though, I would have to say its the death of Julius. Jason Takes Manhattan was actually the first Friday film I had a chance to see in a movie theater. I remember when Jason knocked Julius’ head off the audience went crazy with laughter and cheers. The rest of the movie was a let down.
I think this is one of the only times, you justify a Jason kill. The old man had it coming, and more than in any F13 movie, I wanted to see him get killed!
Ahh man! This is so true. Julius definitely never got the credit he deserved. And I can’t believe I forgot about his character in the movie. Everytime I watch the seen of him and Jason on the rooftop I am like, “No Julius! Run!”. Then he gets he head punched off in one shot. LMAO. That is classic! Nice try Julius.
Scene not seen. WTF?
