Fun fact: in the recent Friday the 13th video game, players assume the role of a camp counselor, or Jason Voorhees himself. The counselors are all based on classic slasher film archetypes, like the virginal final girl, the slut, the nerd, the jock, the rich kid, etc., but when playing as Jason, you have several iterations of the character to choose from, based on his appearances in most of the films, but the differences aren’t purely cosmetic-every version of Jason in the game is either limited or bolstered by what the character could do in their respective films. For this reason, Part 8 Jason is the most OP version there is, able to teleport _frequently_ thanks to shorter cooldowns of his powers, and swim _extremely_ fast in the water, making escaping by boat nearly impossible if the person playing as Part 8 Jason is aware of his advantage. His only drawback? He’s undead, like his other versions from Part 6 onward, so he can’t run-only walk fast-but if you know what you’re doing, that won’t stop you from routinely leaving no survivors. Damn, I miss that game. 😫
I bought two consoles, and the game itself, twice, just for the experience of this game, only to learn that there’s nothing more than a demo to be played on one console without internet, and it won’t even load on the other.
@@SumDumGy That really sucks, man. I’m sorry to hear that was your only experience with it. If I could somehow give you all the many hours of fun that I had with it to you, I would.
@@diazdelosmuertos1503 I appreciate that. It’s kind of even worse. I bought my PS4 specifically for that game, so I got it and the game the same day. Why, even knowing I don’t play online? Because some ass clown from the studio claimed there was an offline play mode. So I fire the thing up, put the disc in and…nothing. Internet required. You can imagine that’s some expensive paperweights. So then I’m able to confirm through a third party that the Switch version does have an offline mode, so I buy that console and the game, too. Of course, that’s when I found out it’s nothing more than a glorified demo without internet. Basically it’s one level of accessibility, one Jason, whom you always play as, and then there’s something like two mission oriented side quest levels that last a couple minutes each. That’s all you get. Almost an expensive paperweight. Suffice it to say I got about one day’s worth of entertainment out of that game.
The film was a compromise. The writer/director wanted to do "Jason on a Boat" and the Studio wanted to do Jason in New York. But there wasn't enough budget to do a New York story so the director filmed the boat story anyway and did a bunch of random scenes at the end to cover the New York idea. They also titled it "Jason takes Manhattan". I doubt the studio even noticed that he still did his boat story instead of what they wanted. Leonard Maltin loved this film when it was release and praised it as the best film in the Friday the 13th series.
This is probably the worst stream I’ve ever seen. You were fortunate to have never seen the movie. A group of guys discussing a thing clearly none of them know anything about, even when it’s playing in front of them.
Ha! I have come to appreciate this entry more in recent years..... It had a broad range of colorful characters.... Too bad they didn't get a lot of "development" like the ones from the first few films.....I always wondered why they didn't do something like Monica Cop in order to use The City more....
The one thing I remembered from Jason Takes Manhattan was the boxer's death. So, I guess it was memorable in some way. I was roughly 9 at the time. I remember not liking this film even back then, though.
1:19:10 Uninspired is wrong, he does try to fire at the warning dude and it doesnt work.On 01:29:30 there's a freeze frame of the scene but he totally just skips it.
This was a staple of my house much like a more conventional title would be one of the Charlie Brown specials. The guy getting his head literally knocked off by Jason was always.. pardon the expression.. a big hit in our family because of the balls of the guy lol
2:12:54 That's not true at all. New Line Cinema was absorbed by Warner Bros. in 2008 but continues to operate as an unit. The rights to the "Friday the 13th" franchise and the character Jason Voorhees became entangled in legal disputes due to copyright issues, not because of New Line Cinema's merger with Warner Bros. The primary conflict arose between Victor Miller, the original screenwriter, and Sean S. Cunningham, the director and producer. Miller sought to reclaim the rights to his screenplay under the U.S. Copyright Act's termination provisions, leading to a legal battle over ownership. In 2018, a U.S. District Court ruled in favor of Miller, affirming his rights to the original screenplay. This decision was upheld in 2021, granting Miller control over the original film's elements, while Cunningham retained rights to aspects introduced in subsequent sequels. --- Information from "The Friday the 13th Lawsuit Is Messier Than You Think" By Shawn Van Horn.

I watched the first one 1980, when I was 15, in the movie theater. I remember not liking it that much cause it was just a woman walking around killing a bunch of teens. I thought it was rather boring.
@@alejandromolinac I don’t think this was on purpose. It’s not a good movie by any stretch but the amount of things they were just getting completely wrong about it, and the rest of the films, took away any entertainment value this stream could have had.
Ha! Part 8 was never my favorite….. it has a gazillion issues….. but it has a lot of B-Movie Charm….. thought the stream was such a waste of time…. Like that…. They can’t believe a captain wants to push his son to take the reigns of a ship?…… That’s like the oldest trope in movies and reality….
@@alejandromolinac I don’t really view the franchise as B-movie material, so that’s why I can’t appreciate anything of the franchise after the seventh film. Agree on that scene. It seems easily implied to me that the Captain had spent time grooming and training his son to take up the family tradition but the son clearly wasn’t interested, and this was the culmination of a longer part of their relationship we can assume occurred prior to the start of the movie. There are *so* many bigger fish to fry in this movie. That one was beyond nitpick.
Yeah….. I’ve seen more fun streams cover this flick….. I think when it’s a horror exclusive channel, they don’t take it as seriously….. Same with the “where did all the other students go…..”….. I am like….. well, the teacher gathers them on a room and Jason is seen staring at them…. Obviously it is implied he killed them all or locked them as it got flooded….
All of those old horror movie villains had involuntary teleportation. “I still know what you did last summer” was one of my favorites for that. He kept getting teleported away from people he was about to end.
I dont think ive ever heard a more offputting laugh in my life than uninspired reviewers. Like wearing headphones, it sounds like someone norting water directly out of my ear while blowing their nose
