Continuity issues aside, I wanna know how the hell Jason found out where Alice lives. I just imagine him with his burlap sack mask walking around town with a map and a phone book until he finds her apartment, then walks his ass _all the way_ back to camp. lmao
The novelization of part 2 explained that Alice moved back to Crystal Lake to confront her demons from the first movie, so all Jason had to do was sneak around and stalk Alice for a couple of months.
In the book, Alice went out to the lake one day to revisit the scene. Jason almost got her there, but she got in her car and drove off before he could strike. After that he wandered around town each night until he found the car.
Yellow pages, probably. These were more innocent times. People's phone numbers and addresses were publicly listed unless a fee was paid to the phone company to be unlisted.
I love bag head jason. I don't know why, it just always has frightened me to have that blank non-face with one crazy eye looking out. Definitely my favorite jason.
He was more realistic in part 2 than the other Fridays to follow. The flour sack, a more natural body type, more natural movements. I could picture some psychopath hillbilly just like that in reality (minus his immortality issue of course). Sometimes it's not the most fantastic which is the scariest, but what you might actually encounter in your own life that is.
Jason stalked his victims cunningly, quietly, and sometimes grudgingly as with Tommy Jarvis and Tina Shepard at one point, but not recklessly, and luring them to their deaths. After killing his victims, he usually hid the bodies to prevent others from raising the alarm and to create more terror when his next intended victim would find it. If Jason had any virtues left, it would be that he never killed children under the age of thirteen or pets (The novel Hate-Kill-Repeat implied that he was responsible for the deaths of two children in a family, but the murders were never witnessed and they may have simply been unintentional collateral damage), and when he killed, it was always quick and their suffering was not long unless they struggled against him. Another possible virtue of Jason is shown when he saves Lori Campbell twice from becoming Freddy Krueger's victim after she saved him from getting killed by the dreamstalker himself; though it is not actually known if he saved her on purpose. Jason truly hated Freddy Kruger for tricking and using him. However, in Freddy vs Jason vs Ash, he was shown to be willing to cooperate with him, in return Freddy used the Necronomicon to boost his intelligence.
Always thought Ginny was a great heroine. She took a huge chance by pretending to be Jason's mom. There was a 50/50 chance of Jason falling for it. That took balls. Tough, smart heroine. Plus she's just so darn cute! Great review.
My theory with Jason showing up in part 2 is that he survived almost drowning in the lake and eventually after hiding out in the woods because of how scared he was, found his mother and together they lived in that shack. With being obviously more traumatized by almost drowning and the bullying, Jason's mother vows revenge for the torment and near death her son endured. So she starts killing all these teens and after Alice kills her, Jason vows his own revenge on anyone who comes to Crystal Lake. People say it is explained in part 2 but realistically Pamela would KNOW Jason was alive and with how close he was with his mother, he wouldn't be hiding from her too, that just doesn't make sense. But that's just my theory haha
Richard Denney Yeah, that makes the most sense to me! It make sense because it explains why he wasn’t found in the lake and explains how form part 1 to 2 that he grew by at least 20 years or so
No, we see Jason rising from the lake in part 1 itself, and I'm not talking about the ending where he drowns Alice, I heard that the comics reveal him being possessed by some evil force present in the forest, which revives him and gives him regeneration and superhuman strength.
Drumdum my man !! How could you let poor Cody made those reviews on his own... He hiked for 8 hours for christ’s sake !! And you were partying with CP hanging out with the twins from final chapter. That’s low brother, that’s low. I know the attraction Myers can have on one man but please, next time try to do the right thing... Love, JS
Five year jump in between Part 1 and 2 if I remember. And I'll go to my grave swearing that part 3 buff/hockey mask Jason was influenced by Lord Humungus in The Road Warrior (1981)
Not sure. The 3D effects guy on part 3 was a hockey fan and happened to have some equipment on set. He used a Red Wings mask for a lighting test, the director happened to see it and loved it. And one could argue that the mask from the second was more of an homage to The Town That Dreaded Sundown rather than The Elephant Man.
@@07foxmulder yeah I've heard that, and it's probably true. The timing of F13 pt 3 and The Road Warrior (international release) just seemed a bit coincidental.
DarkStanley Have you ever seen the VHS cover to A New Beginning? If not, it’s just a picture of Jason’s mask only it’s not the mask used in any of the movies. It’s identical (except for being white) to the one in Road Warrior.
7:50 => Is it just me or was Jason actually quite a bit more intimidating and creepy with the bag over his head in this movie instead of the hockey mask later? EDIT: Although, that could just be RE4's Dr. Salvadore bias on my part.
Part 2 is def one of the most underrated sequels of the franchise imo. The kills were more creative and I love Paul's fire side ghost story about the legend of Jason. It really sets an ominous tone in atmosphere for the rest of the movie.
Great review. Friday part two is one of my favs. The scene when the lead chick is in Jason's shack and you can see Jason approaching in the background through that little hole in the shack. Awesome scene. Gave me chills
A theory about why Jason is putting the bodies of some of his victims near the shrine to Pamela's head is because he thought that if he killed enough people she'd come back to life and he was basically offering the bodies as sacrifices to her. That's another reason why for a little bit he thinks Ginny wearing Pamela's sweater is actually Pamela resurrected because Jason thought he'd finally completed his mission and killed enough people and that his mother had come back to him. It must have pissed him off when he realised that no matter how many people he killed she'd never come back.
kevthebodybuilder B same, i totally love that look of Jason! It has something creepy about it, even if this may be the smallest and weakest Jason dimension-wise
lol its one of the biggest questions within the Friday the 13th fan community: "What happened to Paul?" I do really love part 2. Ginny is one of my favorite final girls just behind Nancy Thompson and Kyle (Child's Play 2). This sequel is just so much fun for me and it always has been. My favorite kill is also the Machete in the face of the poor wheel chair dude. I know its probably wrong. it is so cruel and brutal but damn, it is a good one. I hate that cheap ass ending as well. they should have just left it where Jason breaks through the window, but no they screwed it up. As usual great review Cody! ✌
For some reason, i'm in love with this look of Jason! I feel like he looks more unique even if he maybe was inspired from The Town That Dreaded Sundown, i love it! For me, he has a much freakier look!
There's just something much more sinister about a grown woman yelling out for MOMMIE and in a child voice luring in her victims. Like imagine hearing that in the woods, no phones no GPS just lack of awareness
Lol love the intro & great review too! Reminds me of fall with these reviews coming out. Dude favourite part of the intro is when you say “ol reliable sittin by himself” LMAO you just sound so American when you say that. No disrespect neighbor, maybe it’s just because I’m from Canada that the ol reliable line kills me.
Great review, only niggle I have is the ending, Paul's fate, was that final jump scare a dream or did Ginny continue battling Jason off screen & most of all who called for that Ambulance?
2 is underrated because Jason is this skinny guy with a bag on his head . It has some great kills, has a great survivor (Ginny) and introduces Jason. 3 is my favorite but 2 is very underrated
I LOVE this sequel, along with part 4! Great kills esp the two people together in bed, and the guy in the wheelchair. Amy Steele MADE this movie though
During the campfire scene it's stated that it has been 5 years since Pamela was beheaded and I'm pretty sure there is something at the beginning that lest us know that Alice's slaughter takes place a year after. I've always looked at this Jason as being in his late teens or early twenties and that's why he's smaller.
Although I have to wonder how the hell Jason got to Alice's (train, bus, airplane?) without her address, ability to speak, money and lets face it what passenger wouldn't have said " what the hell?", I still love part 2. Ginny is a great character (though I could have done without "rugged GQ" man Paul) and the wheelchair victim kill is the best ever
This is one of my favourites in this whole series (Its #4 on my list). I love this outing. That kill with the wheelchair is amazing! I just like it. And for how cheap it was shoot, this is a great movie that I still think "mostly" holds up.
I mostly don’t comment but today I got here early. I just wanted to say I absolutely love your videos. I will probably do your patron when I get my paycheck but besides that I love your videos and your personality and just want to say thank you for being so awesome!
I always believed that it wasn't a dream at the dead. I always thought Paul died trying to save jenny. Hence way Paul was gone when she's been carried away. Did think jenny was a better final woman than alice.
I can understand why people don't care for part 2 Jason but I always liked him he comes off as an actual human being and not a robotic killing machine. Also the final chase in this one is excellent.
Audiences did not have to have every single detail spelled out for us. There are obviously some things not important to the story. For instance, how Jason found Alice might be the phone book. People's phone numbers and addresses were listed, most of the time and everybody got the book for free every year. Stalking was easy. Speaking of stalking, Alice was supposed to be more of a lead but had a stalker try to break into her home. She quit appearing on screen until just in the last few years. One of the reasons this movie is better is because Paramount was advancing money for exclusive distribution and it was a solid property guaranteed to bring in a return, so casting could be a bit better. Amy Steele had a great career throughout the 1980s. This movie begins approximately 5 years after the first movie. The prologue wherein Alice is killed takes place a few months before the main body of the movie. Pts 3 and 4 take place at the same time, consecutively. I don't really think he's a ghost story, though he does haunt his territory. Sidenote: Freddy Krueger was a ghost story - at least until they started with the demon getting trapped in New Nightmare, and then in a reverse meta-meta to homage, got called a dream demon by the male lead in Jason vs. Freddy. The reason for the sackcloth is the homage to the town that dreaded sundown, which actually happened in Texarkana, not too far from where I live, and not too far from Boggy Creek territory. To address your continuity issue, it is only speculated by Jenny that Jason saw his mother killed. It is possible he has been ferrel in the woods, and never saw his mother until that moment. But, as we discover in later sequels, there might be a supernatural element at work(in the New Line movies, especially) but in the 3rd movie, we get a final jump scare that supports a supernatural connection. Different writers throughout the franchises always mean continuity issues...every horror franchise. So final jump scares in these movies that give a dual ending? You can blame that on Brian De Palma's Carrie, and to lesser extent some extent, Psycho, who's director , Hitchcock, inspired De Palma who also repeated the effect in his own murder slasher Dressed to Kill. But the end of Friday the 13th pt 2 is not a dream sequence. From the time I first saw it as a boy, I figured Paul rushed out to save Jenny and managed to fight off Jason, probably about the time the other counselors are returning, and who go call the police. Paul might actually be perfectly fine, or already in another ambulance on its way to the hospital. Leaving the movie open with some mystery was an invitation, by this point, for another sequel. Amy Steele was invited back to play Jenny, but she declined to return because her career was really taking off by the time casting for pt 3 began.
I'll be honest I just bought the Friday the 13th blu ray 8 film collection . And just going through your reviews before I watch them. The only one I've ever seen fully was the first one. Looking forward to checking these movies out this Halloween season
With all of the continuity errors that this film set up, whenever they make another one (which'll probably be a soft reboot linking back in some way to the original franchise) a way that they could 'fix' the continuity errors is if they just treated those earlier films as campfire stories, like they have the scene where someone tells the story of Jason and there's no proof to the story or any murders happening in the area, or they even say that "Some say he was the killer, others say it was his mother, some say he lived in the woods, some say he never drowned." and the people they're talking to just pick apart the logic of the story, because hey campfire stories usually aren't realistic so it could work.
One of the best horror movie sequel ever and this one have my favorite Jason and my favorite final girl Amy Steel. Part 2 takes place two month after the events of the first one.
Agreed with evvvverything except I actually like how this Jason’s chase scenes (specifically with Ginny) & how he doesn’t really give them time to breathe so they have to think quick
Cody, as always, I loved this review and can't wait for the rest. Let me be clear about this: this is NOT a plea for Hollywood to make this: but I always thought it would be cool to hear the story of Jason from the drowning as a child to part 2. I wouldn't want a movie made of this concept, but it would be nice to read it in graphic novel form perhaps?
Check out Friday 2 director Steve Miner's "House" from 1986. It stars William Katt (Carrie, Greatest American Hero) and George Wendt (Norm from Cheers). It has plenty of character development and humor-along with the scares.
I think the ending was her blacking out after he leaps in the window and she wakes up . Paul was killed fighting with Jason. hats just my take on the ending.
13:57 the way I always saw it was that Jason drowned at around 12 a year later on his birthday June 13th his mother killed those counselors making Jason 13 and in the second movie I believe they say this town has been peaceful for 5 years why are they opening up the camp again or something along those lines meaning the second movie would have took place 5 years after the original movie and Jason would be 18 so he would technically be fully grown by the time that movie happens and he would’ve seen his mother decapitated at 13 then 5 years later after growing big and strong he kills the original final girl then hears the camp is reopening and slaughters them to keep it closed
I think that this version was ok "Jason Voorhees" speaking. But that's just my opinion. It's a warm 80s horror that I love, love, love. I do agree with you Cody, where the fuck was the continuity in these fucking films lol. Love your channel bro😊
This film takes place five years after the original, by the way. I feel blessed to not be a stickler for continuity. I can spin it in my mind where the actual Friday movies(1-8) all flow pretty well.
I'm pretty sure that in this it wasn't a dream sequence. In this movie, That all happened, but seeing her in the hospital bed is a flashforward. Which I think makes it worse because we have no idea what happened with Jason and how Ginny even got out alive. Also: " Writer Ron Kurz has stated that Jason's window jump was intended to be set in reality and that Paul was killed offscreen."
Second part I'll defend is the ending. While I think that all three Friday films are a little jarring by having them all end with the main characters waking up form a nightmare, I think that you can read into what happened here. Ginny asks where Pual was. Well, why was there's an ambulance there? To explain both, Ginny fainted, and Paul dragged her to one of the cabins to rest up. Then called or went for help. It was already established in the opening that there was a lot for Ginny to park in when she arrived late, so Pual probably had a car of his own to drive out and get help. That said, could they have explained that better? Yes.
I’ll. Be honest this is the last of the franchise I’ve watched. I do recall a story that my stepdad told me about this film that my uncle who was like nine at the time was begging him for weeks to take him to see it in the theater they sit down and see the Alice kill and petrified my uncle leans over and says “you ready to go? Great review man
Jason vorhees in part 2 is so unique. There’s no other Jason with mannerisms like Jason in part 2 . Hes always falling and him being an amateur to killing really shows which is kind of charming lol
Fuck this movie for what they did to poor Muffin. But other than the final girl not finishing off Jason with a chainsaw, instead switching to a chair, then leaving a obviously not dead Jason to prolong this WHEN YOU HAVE A CHAINSAW. And the ending was confusing after first watch, I thought it was fun.
Following the release of Friday the 13th (1980), Adrienne King had numerous encounters with an obsessive fan. The situation escalated into a stalker case, and she decided to avoid any further acting opportunities. She has not done any on-screen film work since, but has done voice over work on several films more than 15 years later. According to co-producer Dennis Stuart Murphy, the idea to have Jason wear a burlap sack over his head in Part 2 came from their costume designer, who figured it was the type of readily available item Jason could have conceivably and easily procured. In the scene when Jason crashes into the window and grabs Ginny, the actor, Warrington Gillette was actually hurt. He tried to break into the window, only it didn't break, and he ended up banging his head really hard on the glass. A shot of the infamous double-impalement was cut to avoid an "X" rating, yet a gory still photo of this censored shot appears on the back of the videocassette box. The footage of the censored portion was finally recovered in 2020 from an old VHS of the gore shots that Carl Fullerton kept for his portfolio and was included on the Scream Factory deluxe collection of the films. The plot of part 2 shocked most people associated with the original film. Betsy Palmer, Tom Savini and Sean Cunningham all have made public remarks about how stupid it was that Jason was alive the whole time, and if he was then why didn't he just tell his mother that he was alive which would have avoided all the murders in part 1. Jason in this film is dressed to look exactly the same as the hooded, burlap sack killer from The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976). The only difference is that the burlap sack he wears has only one eye hole, and his shirt has a slightly different plaid design. With Tom Savini unavailable, they turned to Stan Winston to deliver the gore for Part 2. Unfortunately, Winston was forced to leave due to scheduling conflicts, making way for Carl Fullerton. Within 5 years, Winston won an Oscar for his work on James Cameron's Aliens, and his Stan Winston Studios would go on to be responsible for the design work on The Terminator, Alien, Jurassic Park, and Predator series. After a decade in gore, Fullerton ascended to the A-List of Hollywood make-up artists with Glory, The Godfather Part III, Silence of the Lambs, and Philadelphia. Jason's original name was Josh, but screenwriter Victor Miller decided that wasn't scary enough, so they changed it to Jason. 48 seconds were cut by the MPAA to avoid an X rating. Actress Adrienne King (who played Alice) explained how her death (the ice pick scene) was filmed on Facebook: "It was a "retractable" ice pick that was not tested before use...the first time the ice pick did NOT retract. Second take..the lazy propsman (not Jason) had to aim for the hole in my face!” Lauren-Marie Taylor had a legitimate crush on her on-screen boyfriend, Tom McBride, but was unaware at the time that he was gay. The main poster depicts Jason holding a bloody hatchet except he never uses one to kill any of his victims in this, however he does plant one in Jeff and Sandra's bed when Paul and Ginny discover it. To this day, it is still unknown whether it was Ginny or the rat who urinated under the bed, but Amy Steel revealed in an interview that the "pee" was actually Coca-Cola Mark's football shirt has the number "81" on it, the year of this film's release. Terry's dog Muffin is a Shih Tzu. Lauren-Marie Taylor's first film role During the climactic fight between Jason and Ginny, Jason raises the mattock to block Ginny's machete swing. Amy Steel said that during the first take, the timing was wrong and she accidentally hit Steve Dash's finger, causing him to have to go to the emergency room. Steve Dash has photos of him being treated in the ER in full costume, fake machete still stuck through his shoulder. After his finger was stitched up, he returned to set that night and insisted they complete the scene. She said they simply put a rubber cot on his finger, and applied make-up to make it look dirty. According to Adrienne King, there was no script for her scene which is why she didn't know her character died. She showed up to set, found out Jason was going to kill her, and that they needed her to completely improvise a phone conversation. So, everything with Alice talking to her mom on the phone about struggling to move on with her soon-to-end life was unscripted. Throughout the final scene, the mummified head of Mrs. Voorhees is noticeably an actress wearing makeup rather than a fake head. The final shot is a close-up of the head, ending in a freeze frame before the credits roll. Originally this shot ended with Mrs. Voorhees opening her eyes and smiling, but at the last minute Steve Miner decided this effect was hokey and cheapened the movie's impact. During filming of the first take of her death scene, Adrienne King was injured when the prop ice pick failed to retract as it was pushed into her temple. Alice and Crazy Ralph, the only two surviving characters from Friday the 13th (1980), who are eventually killed off by Jason, are not mentioned by name at all throughout this sequel. Almost every Friday the 13th movie has a prankster, or a comic relief character. In Friday the 13th part 2, it's Ted, played by Stu Charno. In the middle of part 2, Ted tells Ginny and Paul he's going into town to get some beers. Ironically, this characters wind up avoiding the slaughter by not missing the last call. Because he stays in town all night long, chasing Beers and girls, he is able to avoid Jason. Ted is only one of the characters who survives the carnage simply by going off and partying for the rest of the movie. In every other Friday the 13th, the characters that are introduced are all killed off except for the final girl (and sometimes there's a final girl and a final guy). Ted is not the final guy or girl, he's just goes off and parties, and oddly for a slasher movie, this saves him. Scott is the first victim of Jason to be killed with his signature machete. In the scene where Terry is swimming at night, the first notes of the iconic Jaws-Theme are played and implemented in the score. It's a nod to the famous Spielberg movie. According to director Steve Miner, the ending where Jason attacks Ginny through the window is not a dream, which also gives us a mystery as to what happened to Muffin. Both this film and Halloween II (1981) feature their villains killing a law-enforcement officer with a hammer to the head (although Mr. Garrett in Halloween II is a security guard, not a police officer or sheriff's deputy). Both movies were also released in 1981. This film, in May, and Halloween II in October.
From the stories I've heard, you are not the only the one who thinks the potato sack Jason looked dumb. From what I understand, whole reason for the hockey mask is because the people who made part 3 hated the potato sack. Anyway, new subscriber here, and do enjoy your videos. Thank you.
My issue with part 2 is that it's the shortest in the franchise, but it has major pacing issues, so it feels like one of the longest. And Jason just isn't scary in this one. I dont see this one as having good pacing at all.
Its supposed to be five years between part I and part 2, Paul during the campfire says its been five years. Ginny was really attacked at the end, that wasn't a dream. They just don't show how she survived that scene, I assume Paul saved her and lost his own life
Great review. I agree, the hockey mask looks more menacing. But if I saw sackhead Jason outside my window at night holding a machete, I would probably poop my pants in fear.
I like Part 2 a lot. It was one of the first I ever saw, so it's really special to me because of that. I really disagree about Jason's look: I think that's a great and creepy look for a killer. To me, it's what you'd expect a crazy guy living in the woods to look like.
Watching these movies for the first time or I can’t remember them lol…agree part 2 is a slight improvement but Kevin Beacon is still the best kill. I love the twist in part 1 but would of made mother stronger or reveal later that Jason helped out. My issues so far is all the unanswered questions.
My favorite Friday is the final chapter but my second favorite is in between 2 and 3. 2 has the best story but 3 was more entertaining. 2 has that wheelchair kill also 🤣. I'm glad you appreciate it as much as I do
I'll always hold a special place for this movie in my heart it's in my top two or three I think it's because at video rental store in my small town the original was always out so I eventually just started with this one so it became my first Friday 13th movie
You realize that in those days they didn't plan on making sequels, prequels and pre-sequels right? They did movies and if you got a hit, then they would make a sequel or not. I don't get this whole thing about character development, they are going to get kill! At the end of most slasher movies there is going to be a confrontation between the bad guy/girl and the good guy/girl, the rest are just fodder to create tension and develop the main characters, the whole thing about the dream sequence finale is to get you excited about a new sequel (if the movie does good and you get funding for another one), I don't think it would have the same effect as they do it now: Jason Will Return (on a black screen). It surprised me that you didn't mention the thing about running and looking back, tripping and doing it all over again! Anyway That is my opinion!
You need a little character development so when they die it makes an impact. Whether you are sad they are gone or glad they got what they deserved. If they are just random people it makes less effect.
Now with, all of that said, "Friday the 13th Part 2" is a movie that has grown on me in terms of its appeal. I used to have my problems with it two, most notably the ending, but over time stuff like Jason's look, his portrail and other logic issues I had stated to go away. This film, has great pacing, that dare I say it, is on par with Part 6. The atmosphere is spot on, the character's feel human and aren't annoying, the kills are some of the best here and Ginny remains a great final girl for this franchise.
(Now just finished ) I do agree with you the characters are much better in part 2 than they are in the original but sack Head Jason to me would be scarier then the hockey mask( besides when he comes a zombie) this one is one of my favorites not my favorite out the Friday the 13th franchise but top 5 at least I do enjoy it more than the original. So would you say around that time five years after the events of the first one would you stand toe-to-toe with Jason or make a run for it? Ps u got me with the "really dude 4 rings" im like that in real life😂💀
Friday the 13th has continuity issues for sure, but with this movie? Not so much. They said that Jason drowned, but they never retrieved his body and neither was it said that they did. That was the whole point of the very ending for part 1. Also, Jason going to her would be a weird encounter and that's pretty hard to craft up story-wise. Other than these points you've made, I agree with your other points. I hate the little dream sequence's that they do too.
What people are forgetting about the 1st one being better is the fact that a woman was the killer. Betsy Palmer did a fantastic job. Part 1 is also one of the few installments in the franchise that isn't a complete rip off of another horror movie. Part 2 Jason's outfit is from The Town that Dreaded Sundown.
After being accidentally revived by Tommy, Jason now possesses a unique ability to regenerate any lost and damaged tissue at an accelerated rate. As a result, he can sustain bullet and knife wounds and be virtually unaffected. This ability allows him to recover from any fatal injuries. He has been incapacitated by being chained to the bottom of Crystal Lake or impaled through the head, but is almost always restored to "perfect" health, his constantly changing state of deformity can be attributed to his constant regeneration. This regeneration however is not perfect, as Jason still possesses an undead, desiccated appearance of exposed bones and deteriorating tissue. Technically being undead, his body is not affected by existing detrimental contaminants. He has complete immunity to all kinds of poison, virus, disease, bacteria, etc. However, he can still be sedated as proven when the possessed Freeburg was able to render him unconscious with two syringes, and at some point in the future Jason is kept imprisoned via a combination of restraints and some unknown sedative substance administered to him by an I.V.
Yay another review for this series. Cool tee shirt. I added you to Facebook I don't have Instagram or Twitter. You're reviews rock. This was an amazing series I hope we can chat sometime on Facebook about horror movies. We can video chat on Facebook about horror movies and such. I'm kind of an odd ball when I like certain series for me out all the Friday the 13th's I have to like 1,2,3,&8. I like number 8 cause it was different but watching as an adult it the place on a boat for the first half hour.
I first saw this about a year after it came out (on VHS) and from what I remember it was shocking when Alice got the screwdriver in the head. I agree with the 'best kill', but I'll admit I always found that guy in the wheelchair quite annoying anyway.
My theory is that Jason didn’t drown and made it to the shore and he hid in the woods for so many years because he was so scared and couldn’t find his way back to camp until he heard Alice and Pamela that night
He is original from Ohio but moved to Georgia at like 14 or 15. So either Midwest or Southeastern United States. I don't think he has much of a georgia accent more midwest.
Continuity issues aside, I wanna know how the hell Jason found out where Alice lives. I just imagine him with his burlap sack mask walking around town with a map and a phone book until he finds her apartment, then walks his ass _all the way_ back to camp. lmao
The novelization of part 2 explained that Alice moved back to Crystal Lake to confront her demons from the first movie, so all Jason had to do was sneak around and stalk Alice for a couple of months.
In the book, Alice went out to the lake one day to revisit the scene. Jason almost got her there, but she got in her car and drove off before he could strike. After that he wandered around town each night until he found the car.
He was on the lease...
In reality, there are houses near camp crystal lake (camp nobebosco). so he wouldnt have had to walk very far at all lol
Yellow pages, probably. These were more innocent times. People's phone numbers and addresses were publicly listed unless a fee was paid to the phone company to be unlisted.
I love bag head jason. I don't know why, it just always has frightened me to have that blank non-face with one crazy eye looking out. Definitely my favorite jason.
Yes! I love the visual homage to The Town That Dreaded Sundown.
Scared the SHIT out of me as a kid.... sack head Jason is the only horror character to make it into a nightmare 💀
It's nit an homage to The Town That Dreaded Sundown. It was a blatant ripoff.
I always felt quite sorry for him when she tells him to kneel down and he sat there looking at her through his hole. You just know what's coming. 😂🤣
He was more realistic in part 2 than the other Fridays to follow. The flour sack, a more natural body type, more natural movements. I could picture some psychopath hillbilly just like that in reality (minus his immortality issue of course). Sometimes it's not the most fantastic which is the scariest, but what you might actually encounter in your own life that is.
I like how Jason was kind and thoughtful enough to turn off the tea kettle after killing Alice.
...so as not to attract attention from neighbors and police
I thought it was better than the first.....always really enjoyed it.....and I loved the one eyed sack lol......great video dude!!!!
Jason stalked his victims cunningly, quietly, and sometimes grudgingly as with Tommy Jarvis and Tina Shepard at one point, but not recklessly, and luring them to their deaths. After killing his victims, he usually hid the bodies to prevent others from raising the alarm and to create more terror when his next intended victim would find it. If Jason had any virtues left, it would be that he never killed children under the age of thirteen or pets (The novel Hate-Kill-Repeat implied that he was responsible for the deaths of two children in a family, but the murders were never witnessed and they may have simply been unintentional collateral damage), and when he killed, it was always quick and their suffering was not long unless they struggled against him. Another possible virtue of Jason is shown when he saves Lori Campbell twice from becoming Freddy Krueger's victim after she saved him from getting killed by the dreamstalker himself; though it is not actually known if he saved her on purpose. Jason truly hated Freddy Kruger for tricking and using him. However, in Freddy vs Jason vs Ash, he was shown to be willing to cooperate with him, in return Freddy used the Necronomicon to boost his intelligence.
That campfire scene is one of my favorites in the series.
Best final chasing scene of the franchise. It was so long and intense: cabin - bathroom - car - woods - another cabin - Jason’s lair.
Im been eatting squirrel...make me some pancakes....hahaha im dead!
Haha
@@CodyLeachYT it's funny
Always thought Ginny was a great heroine. She took a huge chance by pretending to be Jason's mom. There was a 50/50 chance of Jason falling for it. That took balls. Tough, smart heroine. Plus she's just so darn cute! Great review.
My theory with Jason showing up in part 2 is that he survived almost drowning in the lake and eventually after hiding out in the woods because of how scared he was, found his mother and together they lived in that shack. With being obviously more traumatized by almost drowning and the bullying, Jason's mother vows revenge for the torment and near death her son endured. So she starts killing all these teens and after Alice kills her, Jason vows his own revenge on anyone who comes to Crystal Lake. People say it is explained in part 2 but realistically Pamela would KNOW Jason was alive and with how close he was with his mother, he wouldn't be hiding from her too, that just doesn't make sense. But that's just my theory haha
I think that’s a great theory and I agree with it
Maybe they killed together.
Richard Denney Yeah, that makes the most sense to me! It make sense because it explains why he wasn’t found in the lake and explains how form part 1 to 2 that he grew by at least 20 years or so
If Pamela knew Jason was alive all along, then why did she tell Alice that she's avenging his death?
No, we see Jason rising from the lake in part 1 itself, and I'm not talking about the ending where he drowns Alice, I heard that the comics reveal him being possessed by some evil force present in the forest, which revives him and gives him regeneration and superhuman strength.
I think they got the idea of sack head from the movie The Town that Dreaded Sundown.
Either that or the elephant Man
Or Django
I always blame Monster. I listen to this on the way to pick up a new lawnmower. Thank you for the entertainment brother.
Haha glad I could make the drive more fun man. Having a blast with these intros.
Love you videos 🥁 dums
Drumdum my man !!
How could you let poor Cody made those reviews on his own...
He hiked for 8 hours for christ’s sake !!
And you were partying with CP hanging out with the twins from final chapter.
That’s low brother, that’s low.
I know the attraction Myers can have on one man but please, next time try to do the right thing...
Love,
JS
Love part 2 the kills are better and I agree Ginny is a better final girl, I think it's better then the first one
Bruce Brown *Ginny
Bruce Brown the best of them!
Eh. The atmosphere was better in the first. It felt Lonelier and creepier
Can I just say I REALLY appreciate and love, the backgrounds in your videos 👏😍
Thank you. Glad you enjoy them!
@@CodyLeachYT great channel!!
Five year jump in between Part 1 and 2 if I remember. And I'll go to my grave swearing that part 3 buff/hockey mask Jason was influenced by Lord Humungus in The Road Warrior (1981)
Not sure. The 3D effects guy on part 3 was a hockey fan and happened to have some equipment on set. He used a Red Wings mask for a lighting test, the director happened to see it and loved it. And one could argue that the mask from the second was more of an homage to The Town That Dreaded Sundown rather than The Elephant Man.
@@07foxmulder yeah I've heard that, and it's probably true. The timing of F13 pt 3 and The Road Warrior (international release) just seemed a bit coincidental.
DarkStanley Have you ever seen the VHS cover to A New Beginning? If not, it’s just a picture of Jason’s mask only it’s not the mask used in any of the movies. It’s identical (except for being white) to the one in Road Warrior.
@@07foxmulder Very interesting. And how sad that I have this much time to solve such a mystery lol. Damn if it doesn't gnaw at me though.
7:50 => Is it just me or was Jason actually quite a bit more intimidating and creepy with the bag over his head in this movie instead of the hockey mask later?
EDIT: Although, that could just be RE4's Dr. Salvadore bias on my part.
Part 2 is def one of the most underrated sequels of the franchise imo. The kills were more creative and I love Paul's fire side ghost story about the legend of Jason. It really sets an ominous tone in atmosphere for the rest of the movie.
Great review. Friday part two is one of my favs. The scene when the lead chick is in Jason's shack and you can see Jason approaching in the background through that little hole in the shack. Awesome scene. Gave me chills
A theory about why Jason is putting the bodies of some of his victims near the shrine to Pamela's head is because he thought that if he killed enough people she'd come back to life and he was basically offering the bodies as sacrifices to her. That's another reason why for a little bit he thinks Ginny wearing Pamela's sweater is actually Pamela resurrected because Jason thought he'd finally completed his mission and killed enough people and that his mother had come back to him. It must have pissed him off when he realised that no matter how many people he killed she'd never come back.
I just love the guy getting hacked in the head then the wheel chair rolls down the stairs fucking hysterical
Your background reminds me of the Evil Dead cabin! Love it!!
The sackhead freaked me out as a kid because I was expecting the hockey mask. Pamela scared me too, but I always felt she could be besten easily
The Jason in this is clumsy hillbilly Deliverance Jason 😂
Exactly. Lol not a fan
@@CodyLeachYT the sackhead jason from the remake was bad ass
I've got Friday the 13 part 2 on DVD I think its classic horror film
Keep that mouth talking😂
I love part 2 I think it’s the scariest one I find the potato sack more frightening. Jason drowned in the 50s on in 1980
kevthebodybuilder B same, i totally love that look of Jason! It has something creepy about it, even if this may be the smallest and weakest Jason dimension-wise
lol its one of the biggest questions within the Friday the 13th fan community: "What happened to Paul?" I do really love part 2. Ginny is one of my favorite final girls just behind Nancy Thompson and Kyle (Child's Play 2). This sequel is just so much fun for me and it always has been. My favorite kill is also the Machete in the face of the poor wheel chair dude. I know its probably wrong. it is so cruel and brutal but damn, it is a good one. I hate that cheap ass ending as well. they should have just left it where Jason breaks through the window, but no they screwed it up. As usual great review Cody! ✌
For some reason, i'm in love with this look of Jason! I feel like he looks more unique even if he maybe was inspired from The Town That Dreaded Sundown, i love it! For me, he has a much freakier look!
There's just something much more sinister about a grown woman yelling out for MOMMIE and in a child voice luring in her victims. Like imagine hearing that in the woods, no phones no GPS just lack of awareness
Lol love the intro & great review too! Reminds me of fall with these reviews coming out. Dude favourite part of the intro is when you say “ol reliable sittin by himself” LMAO you just sound so American when you say that. No disrespect neighbor, maybe it’s just because I’m from Canada that the ol reliable line kills me.
Haha that's awesome
Great review, only niggle I have is the ending, Paul's fate, was that final jump scare a dream or did Ginny continue battling Jason off screen & most of all who called for that Ambulance?
2 is underrated because Jason is this skinny guy with a bag on his head . It has some great kills, has a great survivor (Ginny) and introduces Jason. 3 is my favorite but 2 is very underrated
Great vid as always. Glad I'm a subscriber man. Keep up the great work man.👍👍👍
I LOVE this sequel, along with part 4! Great kills esp the two people together in bed, and the guy in the wheelchair. Amy Steele MADE this movie though
During the campfire scene it's stated that it has been 5 years since Pamela was beheaded and I'm pretty sure there is something at the beginning that lest us know that Alice's slaughter takes place a year after. I've always looked at this Jason as being in his late teens or early twenties and that's why he's smaller.
Although I have to wonder how the hell Jason got to Alice's (train, bus, airplane?) without her address, ability to speak, money and lets face it what passenger wouldn't have said " what the hell?", I still love part 2. Ginny is a great character (though I could have done without "rugged GQ" man Paul) and the wheelchair victim kill is the best ever
This is one of my favourites in this whole series (Its #4 on my list). I love this outing. That kill with the wheelchair is amazing! I just like it. And for how cheap it was shoot, this is a great movie that I still think "mostly" holds up.
I like the background at the beginning. Good review Cody.
I have only seen the first movie. Just ordered the 8 film bluray collection for some summer entertainment. Looking forward to binging them.
I mostly don’t comment but today I got here early. I just wanted to say I absolutely love your videos. I will probably do your patron when I get my paycheck but besides that I love your videos and your personality and just want to say thank you for being so awesome!
I noticed that nobody has ever brought up the weird baby sounds Jason makes as he jumps through the window at the end of the movie
the baby sounds were from you getting scared
@@AaronBowley very funny
Here's my favorite Jason's
Richard Brooker
Ted White
CJ Graham
Kane hodder
and Derek mears
I always believed that it wasn't a dream at the dead. I always thought Paul died trying to save jenny. Hence way Paul was gone when she's been carried away. Did think jenny was a better final woman than alice.
"Hey bitch I been eating squirrels for the last 20 years" lmao
I can understand why people don't care for part 2 Jason but I always liked him he comes off as an actual human being and not a robotic killing machine. Also the final chase in this one is excellent.
Love that last seen with Jason's mum.
In the remake Jason saw his mother die as a young child witch is way better explanation of that long wait between Pamela and Jason transition
I kinda liked if the movies had an anthology of different outfits for Jason.He gets his things when he moves along.
This is my favorite F13 movie. I really like the Jason in this way, different strokes for different folks I guess.
Audiences did not have to have every single detail spelled out for us. There are obviously some things not important to the story. For instance, how Jason found Alice might be the phone book. People's phone numbers and addresses were listed, most of the time and everybody got the book for free every year. Stalking was easy.
Speaking of stalking, Alice was supposed to be more of a lead but had a stalker try to break into her home. She quit appearing on screen until just in the last few years.
One of the reasons this movie is better is because Paramount was advancing money for exclusive distribution and it was a solid property guaranteed to bring in a return, so casting could be a bit better. Amy Steele had a great career throughout the 1980s. This movie begins approximately 5 years after the first movie. The prologue wherein Alice is killed takes place a few months before the main body of the movie. Pts 3 and 4 take place at the same time, consecutively. I don't really think he's a ghost story, though he does haunt his territory. Sidenote: Freddy Krueger was a ghost story - at least until they started with the demon getting trapped in New Nightmare, and then in a reverse meta-meta to homage, got called a dream demon by the male lead in Jason vs. Freddy.
The reason for the sackcloth is the homage to the town that dreaded sundown, which actually happened in Texarkana, not too far from where I live, and not too far from Boggy Creek territory.
To address your continuity issue, it is only speculated by Jenny that Jason saw his mother killed. It is possible he has been ferrel in the woods, and never saw his mother until that moment.
But, as we discover in later sequels, there might be a supernatural element at work(in the New Line movies, especially) but in the 3rd movie, we get a final jump scare that supports a supernatural connection. Different writers throughout the franchises always mean continuity issues...every horror franchise. So final jump scares in these movies that give a dual ending? You can blame that on Brian De Palma's Carrie, and to lesser extent some extent, Psycho, who's director , Hitchcock, inspired De Palma who also repeated the effect in his own murder slasher Dressed to Kill. But the end of Friday the 13th pt 2 is not a dream sequence. From the time I first saw it as a boy, I figured Paul rushed out to save Jenny and managed to fight off Jason, probably about the time the other counselors are returning, and who go call the police. Paul might actually be perfectly fine, or already in another ambulance on its way to the hospital. Leaving the movie open with some mystery was an invitation, by this point, for another sequel. Amy Steele was invited back to play Jenny, but she declined to return because her career was really taking off by the time casting for pt 3 began.
I'll be honest I just bought the Friday the 13th blu ray 8 film collection .
And just going through your reviews before I watch them.
The only one I've ever seen fully was the first one.
Looking forward to checking these movies out this Halloween season
With all of the continuity errors that this film set up, whenever they make another one (which'll probably be a soft reboot linking back in some way to the original franchise) a way that they could 'fix' the continuity errors is if they just treated those earlier films as campfire stories, like they have the scene where someone tells the story of Jason and there's no proof to the story or any murders happening in the area, or they even say that "Some say he was the killer, others say it was his mother, some say he lived in the woods, some say he never drowned." and the people they're talking to just pick apart the logic of the story, because hey campfire stories usually aren't realistic so it could work.
Fun fact: Jason Vorhees was originally based on me. Though they took some creative licenses, it is pretty accurate.
One of the best horror movie sequel ever and this one have my favorite Jason and my favorite final girl Amy Steel.
Part 2 takes place two month after the events of the first one.
I know it’s just a movie, but I hope that cat wasn’t killed
bucketfan4life so you think Jason is Chinese? lol
Dale Strunk lmao
Well let's hope Jason is part Egyptian.
Agreed with evvvverything except I actually like how this Jason’s chase scenes (specifically with Ginny) & how he doesn’t really give them time to breathe so they have to think quick
Cody, as always, I loved this review and can't wait for the rest.
Let me be clear about this: this is NOT a plea for Hollywood to make this: but I always thought it would be cool to hear the story of Jason from the drowning as a child to part 2. I wouldn't want a movie made of this concept, but it would be nice to read it in graphic novel form perhaps?
That would be interesting for sure
Check out Friday 2 director Steve Miner's "House" from 1986. It stars William Katt (Carrie, Greatest American Hero) and George Wendt (Norm from Cheers). It has plenty of character development and humor-along with the scares.
I think the ending was her blacking out after he leaps in the window and she wakes up . Paul was killed fighting with Jason. hats just my take on the ending.
I all ways thoght that too.
My theory is that Jason was a ghost all along who comes back to life every so often
Part 2 isn't one of my favorites, it was too slow. I did like the look of Jason, but your right he wasn't intimidating at all.
Love this one and 5 you actually get to know multiple characters
I agree.
13:57 the way I always saw it was that Jason drowned at around 12 a year later on his birthday June 13th his mother killed those counselors making Jason 13 and in the second movie I believe they say this town has been peaceful for 5 years why are they opening up the camp again or something along those lines meaning the second movie would have took place 5 years after the original movie and Jason would be 18 so he would technically be fully grown by the time that movie happens and he would’ve seen his mother decapitated at 13 then 5 years later after growing big and strong he kills the original final girl then hears the camp is reopening and slaughters them to keep it closed
I think that this version was ok "Jason Voorhees" speaking. But that's just my opinion. It's a warm 80s horror that I love, love, love. I do agree with you Cody, where the fuck was the continuity in these fucking films lol. Love your channel bro😊
The part where the chair breaks that Jason is standing on and he falls flat on his face lmao.
This film takes place five years after the original, by the way.
I feel blessed to not be a stickler for continuity. I can spin it in my mind where the actual Friday movies(1-8) all flow pretty well.
Honestly i really like the potato sack jason not his face but the mask
I'm pretty sure that in this it wasn't a dream sequence. In this movie, That all happened, but seeing her in the hospital bed is a flashforward. Which I think makes it worse because we have no idea what happened with Jason and how Ginny even got out alive. Also: " Writer Ron Kurz has stated that Jason's window jump was intended to be set in reality and that Paul was killed offscreen."
Second part I'll defend is the ending. While I think that all three Friday films are a little jarring by having them all end with the main characters waking up form a nightmare, I think that you can read into what happened here. Ginny asks where Pual was. Well, why was there's an ambulance there? To explain both, Ginny fainted, and Paul dragged her to one of the cabins to rest up. Then called or went for help. It was already established in the opening that there was a lot for Ginny to park in when she arrived late, so Pual probably had a car of his own to drive out and get help. That said, could they have explained that better? Yes.
I’ll. Be honest this is the last of the franchise I’ve watched. I do recall a story that my stepdad told me about this film that my uncle who was like nine at the time was begging him for weeks to take him to see it in the theater they sit down and see the Alice kill and petrified my uncle leans over and says “you ready to go? Great review man
Ginny was my fave Final Girl-the actress shares my birthday! John Furey said he think his character, Paul, died.
Agree 100% on the continuity being way off undermining original motivation for Mrs Voorhees. That’s big reason Savini passed on this
Jason vorhees in part 2 is so unique. There’s no other Jason with mannerisms like Jason in part 2 . Hes always falling and him being an amateur to killing really shows which is kind of charming lol
Fuck this movie for what they did to poor Muffin. But other than the final girl not finishing off Jason with a chainsaw, instead switching to a chair, then leaving a obviously not dead Jason to prolong this WHEN YOU HAVE A CHAINSAW. And the ending was confusing after first watch, I thought it was fun.
Following the release of Friday the 13th (1980), Adrienne King had numerous encounters with an obsessive fan. The situation escalated into a stalker case, and she decided to avoid any further acting opportunities. She has not done any on-screen film work since, but has done voice over work on several films more than 15 years later.
According to co-producer Dennis Stuart Murphy, the idea to have Jason wear a burlap sack over his head in Part 2 came from their costume designer, who figured it was the type of readily available item Jason could have conceivably and easily procured.
In the scene when Jason crashes into the window and grabs Ginny, the actor, Warrington Gillette was actually hurt. He tried to break into the window, only it didn't break, and he ended up banging his head really hard on the glass.
A shot of the infamous double-impalement was cut to avoid an "X" rating, yet a gory still photo of this censored shot appears on the back of the videocassette box. The footage of the censored portion was finally recovered in 2020 from an old VHS of the gore shots that Carl Fullerton kept for his portfolio and was included on the Scream Factory deluxe collection of the films.
The plot of part 2 shocked most people associated with the original film. Betsy Palmer, Tom Savini and Sean Cunningham all have made public remarks about how stupid it was that Jason was alive the whole time, and if he was then why didn't he just tell his mother that he was alive which would have avoided all the murders in part 1.
Jason in this film is dressed to look exactly the same as the hooded, burlap sack killer from The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976). The only difference is that the burlap sack he wears has only one eye hole, and his shirt has a slightly different plaid design.
With Tom Savini unavailable, they turned to Stan Winston to deliver the gore for Part 2. Unfortunately, Winston was forced to leave due to scheduling conflicts, making way for Carl Fullerton. Within 5 years, Winston won an Oscar for his work on James Cameron's Aliens, and his Stan Winston Studios would go on to be responsible for the design work on The Terminator, Alien, Jurassic Park, and Predator series. After a decade in gore, Fullerton ascended to the A-List of Hollywood make-up artists with Glory, The Godfather Part III, Silence of the Lambs, and Philadelphia.
Jason's original name was Josh, but screenwriter Victor Miller decided that wasn't scary enough, so they changed it to Jason.
48 seconds were cut by the MPAA to avoid an X rating.
Actress Adrienne King (who played Alice) explained how her death (the ice pick scene) was filmed on Facebook: "It was a "retractable" ice pick that was not tested before use...the first time the ice pick did NOT retract. Second take..the lazy propsman (not Jason) had to aim for the hole in my face!”
Lauren-Marie Taylor had a legitimate crush on her on-screen boyfriend, Tom McBride, but was unaware at the time that he was gay.
The main poster depicts Jason holding a bloody hatchet except he never uses one to kill any of his victims in this, however he does plant one in Jeff and Sandra's bed when Paul and Ginny discover it.
To this day, it is still unknown whether it was Ginny or the rat who urinated under the bed, but Amy Steel revealed in an interview that the "pee" was actually Coca-Cola
Mark's football shirt has the number "81" on it, the year of this film's release.
Terry's dog Muffin is a Shih Tzu.
Lauren-Marie Taylor's first film role
During the climactic fight between Jason and Ginny, Jason raises the mattock to block Ginny's machete swing. Amy Steel said that during the first take, the timing was wrong and she accidentally hit Steve Dash's finger, causing him to have to go to the emergency room. Steve Dash has photos of him being treated in the ER in full costume, fake machete still stuck through his shoulder. After his finger was stitched up, he returned to set that night and insisted they complete the scene. She said they simply put a rubber cot on his finger, and applied make-up to make it look dirty.
According to Adrienne King, there was no script for her scene which is why she didn't know her character died. She showed up to set, found out Jason was going to kill her, and that they needed her to completely improvise a phone conversation. So, everything with Alice talking to her mom on the phone about struggling to move on with her soon-to-end life was unscripted.
Throughout the final scene, the mummified head of Mrs. Voorhees is noticeably an actress wearing makeup rather than a fake head. The final shot is a close-up of the head, ending in a freeze frame before the credits roll. Originally this shot ended with Mrs. Voorhees opening her eyes and smiling, but at the last minute Steve Miner decided this effect was hokey and cheapened the movie's impact.
During filming of the first take of her death scene, Adrienne King was injured when the prop ice pick failed to retract as it was pushed into her temple.
Alice and Crazy Ralph, the only two surviving characters from Friday the 13th (1980), who are eventually killed off by Jason, are not mentioned by name at all throughout this sequel.
Almost every Friday the 13th movie has a prankster, or a comic relief character. In Friday the 13th part 2, it's Ted, played by Stu Charno. In the middle of part 2, Ted tells Ginny and Paul he's going into town to get some beers. Ironically, this characters wind up avoiding the slaughter by not missing the last call. Because he stays in town all night long, chasing Beers and girls, he is able to avoid Jason. Ted is only one of the characters who survives the carnage simply by going off and partying for the rest of the movie. In every other Friday the 13th, the characters that are introduced are all killed off except for the final girl (and sometimes there's a final girl and a final guy). Ted is not the final guy or girl, he's just goes off and parties, and oddly for a slasher movie, this saves him.
Scott is the first victim of Jason to be killed with his signature machete.
In the scene where Terry is swimming at night, the first notes of the iconic Jaws-Theme are played and implemented in the score. It's a nod to the famous Spielberg movie.
According to director Steve Miner, the ending where Jason attacks Ginny through the window is not a dream, which also gives us a mystery as to what happened to Muffin.
Both this film and Halloween II (1981) feature their villains killing a law-enforcement officer with a hammer to the head (although Mr. Garrett in Halloween II is a security guard, not a police officer or sheriff's deputy). Both movies were also released in 1981. This film, in May, and Halloween II in October.
From the stories I've heard, you are not the only the one who thinks the potato sack Jason looked dumb. From what I understand, whole reason for the hockey mask is because the people who made part 3 hated the potato sack. Anyway, new subscriber here, and do enjoy your videos. Thank you.
My issue with part 2 is that it's the shortest in the franchise, but it has major pacing issues, so it feels like one of the longest. And Jason just isn't scary in this one.
I dont see this one as having good pacing at all.
Its supposed to be five years between part I and part 2, Paul during the campfire says its been five years. Ginny was really attacked at the end, that wasn't a dream. They just don't show how she survived that scene, I assume Paul saved her and lost his own life
This Jason is a more realistic looking killer for the setting. The woods, which I think is what they were aiming for in the beginning.
Fun fact Tom savini thought this sequel idea would be dumb so he worked on the burning
Pls review it
I love the subliminal subscribe that is at 10:03 xD
Great review. I agree, the hockey mask looks more menacing. But if I saw sackhead Jason outside my window at night holding a machete, I would probably poop my pants in fear.
Wait... this takes place 5 years later? Haven't watched it in a while but I thought it was like the next week or something
first thing...how did he get up those stairs to begin with? lol.. good review..when is part 3 coming?!?!
Coming this weekend
I like Part 2 a lot. It was one of the first I ever saw, so it's really special to me because of that. I really disagree about Jason's look: I think that's a great and creepy look for a killer. To me, it's what you'd expect a crazy guy living in the woods to look like.
Watching these movies for the first time or I can’t remember them lol…agree part 2 is a slight improvement but Kevin Beacon is still the best kill. I love the twist in part 1 but would of made mother stronger or reveal later that Jason helped out. My issues so far is all the unanswered questions.
My favorite Friday is the final chapter but my second favorite is in between 2 and 3. 2 has the best story but 3 was more entertaining. 2 has that wheelchair kill also 🤣. I'm glad you appreciate it as much as I do
I'll always hold a special place for this movie in my heart it's in my top two or three I think it's because at video rental store in my small town the original was always out so I eventually just started with this one so it became my first Friday 13th movie
is it wrong that i love this film and it's my 2nd favourite and first is 4
edit: cody got ditched by his friend's R.I.P Cody Leach
You realize that in those days they didn't plan on making sequels, prequels and pre-sequels right?
They did movies and if you got a hit, then they would make a sequel or not. I don't get this whole thing about character development, they are going to get kill! At the end of most slasher movies there is going to be a confrontation between the bad guy/girl and the good guy/girl, the rest are just fodder to create tension and develop the main characters, the whole thing about the dream sequence finale is to get you excited about a new sequel (if the movie does good and you get funding for another one), I don't think it would have the same effect as they do it now: Jason Will Return (on a black screen). It surprised me that you didn't mention the thing about running and looking back, tripping and doing it all over again! Anyway That is my opinion!
You need a little character development so when they die it makes an impact. Whether you are sad they are gone or glad they got what they deserved. If they are just random people it makes less effect.
Now with, all of that said, "Friday the 13th Part 2" is a movie that has grown on me in terms of its appeal.
I used to have my problems with it two, most notably the ending, but over time stuff like Jason's look, his portrail and other logic issues I had stated to go away.
This film, has great pacing, that dare I say it, is on par with Part 6. The atmosphere is spot on, the character's feel human and aren't annoying, the kills are some of the best here and Ginny remains a great final girl for this franchise.
If the openings going to be like this for all the reviews I'm sold time for the review now
I'll probably change it up here and there but I plan on making the skit last til the end of the series.
(Now just finished ) I do agree with you the characters are much better in part 2 than they are in the original but sack Head Jason to me would be scarier then the hockey mask( besides when he comes a zombie) this one is one of my favorites not my favorite out the Friday the 13th franchise but top 5 at least I do enjoy it more than the original.
So would you say around that time five years after the events of the first one would you stand toe-to-toe with Jason or make a run for it?
Ps u got me with the "really dude 4 rings" im like that in real life😂💀
Agreed! Stuff like this beginning continuing story puts you apart from the rest on TH-cam, among many other things.
You're right dude! That shit never made since! But Oh well..😅😅😅
Friday the 13th has continuity issues for sure, but with this movie? Not so much. They said that Jason drowned, but they never retrieved his body and neither was it said that they did. That was the whole point of the very ending for part 1. Also, Jason going to her would be a weird encounter and that's pretty hard to craft up story-wise. Other than these points you've made, I agree with your other points. I hate the little dream sequence's that they do too.
What people are forgetting about the 1st one being better is the fact that a woman was the killer. Betsy Palmer did a fantastic job. Part 1 is also one of the few installments in the franchise that isn't a complete rip off of another horror movie. Part 2 Jason's outfit is from The Town that Dreaded Sundown.
After being accidentally revived by Tommy, Jason now possesses a unique ability to regenerate any lost and damaged tissue at an accelerated rate. As a result, he can sustain bullet and knife wounds and be virtually unaffected. This ability allows him to recover from any fatal injuries. He has been incapacitated by being chained to the bottom of Crystal Lake or impaled through the head, but is almost always restored to "perfect" health, his constantly changing state of deformity can be attributed to his constant regeneration. This regeneration however is not perfect, as Jason still possesses an undead, desiccated appearance of exposed bones and deteriorating tissue. Technically being undead, his body is not affected by existing detrimental contaminants. He has complete immunity to all kinds of poison, virus, disease, bacteria, etc. However, he can still be sedated as proven when the possessed Freeburg was able to render him unconscious with two syringes, and at some point in the future Jason is kept imprisoned via a combination of restraints and some unknown sedative substance administered to him by an I.V.
This is my favorite of the Friday films. The two best things about this film are located on Marta kobers chest
Yay another review for this series. Cool tee shirt. I added you to Facebook I don't have Instagram or Twitter. You're reviews rock. This was an amazing series I hope we can chat sometime on Facebook about horror movies. We can video chat on Facebook about horror movies and such. I'm kind of an odd ball when I like certain series for me out all the Friday the 13th's I have to like 1,2,3,&8. I like number 8 cause it was different but watching as an adult it the place on a boat for the first half hour.
-10:59: that was kinda hilarious wen he got killed by a machete by Jason.
I first saw this about a year after it came out (on VHS) and from what I remember it was shocking when Alice got the screwdriver in the head. I agree with the 'best kill', but I'll admit I always found that guy in the wheelchair quite annoying anyway.
My theory is that Jason didn’t drown and made it to the shore and he hid in the woods for so many years because he was so scared and couldn’t find his way back to camp until he heard Alice and Pamela that night
Thank you for doing my favorite horror franchise.
Someone help me out. Where does Cody’s accent come from? I’m not from the US so I can’t pinpoint it and I need to know so I can focus.
He is original from Ohio but moved to Georgia at like 14 or 15. So either Midwest or Southeastern United States. I don't think he has much of a georgia accent more midwest.
