VOTING HAS CLOSED
We’re winding down the first round now and so we are getting into the meat of the challenge. This will be a fun week in seeing which final guy is chosen to move on. The final guy is given that distinction by being the last surviving adult male left in the movie. The following list includes 30 years of characters that have encountered either Pamela and Jason Voorhees or Roy. This collection of characters has defined the series and have been engraved in our minds for most of our lives. What final guy should move on and get another crack at Jason?

Note: Paul from Part 2, Rob from Part 4 and Tommy Jarvis from Part 6 are not involved in this division as their characters were in other divisions.


bill-part1Bill (Friday the 13th 1980)
The only final guy to cross paths with the demented Mrs. Voorhees. He was dispatched in ugly fashion and the only victim to get hung up on a door with arrows. Ouch! Lesson learned, never go out into the dark by yourself, leaving the virginal final girl by herself after you can’t find any of your friends, find a bloody axe in a bed, and there are no working telephones.

“It’s ten miles to the nearest crossroads. Steve will be back soon. We’ll be laughing about this in the morning”

rick-part3Rick (Part 3)
He is one horny dude that is looking to get some Chris action in short order on a steamy getaway weekend with an old flame. A couple of problems arise though. Other horny teens, Shelly, a motorcycle gang, and that guy Jason derail all of his sex ladent plans. His memorable eye popping death is known second only to the ladies outside of Rick’s shirtless hay moving scene in the barn.

“I think everyone else has gone and left us”

 

tommy-part5Tommy Jarvis (A New Beginning)
The last Tommy Jarvis character to be featured in a division in the first round. The other two incarnations of the character have moved on to the second round. Can this Tommy make it three for three? He used Eddie and Junior as punching bag warmup exercises to get ready to kick Roy’s ass. What happens after that, he stares at Roy and lets him slice him across the chest with a machete? At least he dispatches Roy at the end of the movie becoming the first Final Guy to stop the killer at the end of the movie.

“Is that what they call us?”

nick-part7Nick ( The New Blood)
Nick has some lady issues. He ignores the hot chick living in the same house as him to pursue the homicidal, telekenetic girl next door that unleashes Jason to kill his cousin and friends. I would want that girl, too. Nick really didn’t do much to deter Jason’s murderous rampage except for let him start crushing his back while Tina ties an electrical cord around his neck.

“It was a big pink elephant”

 

scott-part8Sean Robertson ( Jason Takes Manhattan )
Sean took control of the ship and put McCulloch in his place. After Jason basically disabled the ship, Sean got everyone together and got them to New York when no one else could have. He ran from Jason in New York, but I would have too at this point in the franchise as no one was going to stop him.

“It’s time you listen to me if you want off this ship alive”

 

steven-part9Steve Freeman ( Jason Goes To Hell )
I don’t know anyone else in this division or franchise that takes and dishes out as much punishment as this guy. He lets a complete stranger break two of his fingers just to find out how to kill Jason. Then, after tackling a possessed Josh, is slammed into the ground multiple times and then thrown into a wall. Later, he tackles a reborn Jason through a window. He then proceeds to be beaten senseless with a shovel, thrown head first into a rock, thrown into a jungle gym and then dragged along the ground.

He does run over a possessed Robert multiple times, tackle and flip his friend Randy over the hood of a police car, blow the back of the possessed Robert’s head off, cut’s the possesses Randy’s head off and at the end gets to walk off into the sunset with the girl that shunned him the whole movie.

“Ah yea. Smoke a little dope, have a little premarital sex, and get slaughtered.”

Tsunaron-jasonxTsunaron ( Jason X )
SGt. Brodski was already in another division, so that leaves Tsunaron as, techincally, the final guy of Jason X. I know he likes to place nipples on an android, but he did come up with the Crystal Lake VR idea. That’s a plus, right.

“It’s a hockey mask!”

 

 

will-fvjWill ( Freddy vs Jason )
I give Will credit for wanting to protect his girl and breaking out of the asylum to warn her. Outside of that gesture, he really didn’t do a whole lot to stop Jason or Freddy, except for driving Jason to Crystal Lake for his final confrontation with Freddy.

 

 

 

clay-remakeClay ( Friday the 13th 2026 )
He was one of the better characters in the movie and really established himself as a real foe for Jason to deal with in the future. Persistance paid off as he found his sister Whitney. His first go around with Jason was not good as he got sort of beat down, but I think round 2 could be a different story.
