Part 2 is the best of all of them. I love the atmosphere, the lone eye looking out of the sack, the overalls, the sadistic but kinda clumsy way Jason carries himself. He even cowers during one scene, when Ginny has the pitchfork. It's so creepy, and perfectly early 80's slasher. Steve Miner did a great job taking over the director's chair.
@@dklounge7082 Funny comparing part 2 and part 7 in terms of characters.... By part 7 they were all "stock cliches".... Part 2 they all seem more "natural".....
Umm part 2 is absolutely one of the best just like the first two Halloween films they feel extremely close when it comes to the original. I don’t understand why people hate on this just because Jason doesn’t have his mask yet. Honestly I love the sack look it’s creeper for a lot of reasons. You have good enjoyable characters only thing that sucks are the rushed death scenes.
HA!.... This is one of my all time favorite entries of the series.... It's uber creepy.... LOVE THE CHASE SCENE AT THE END.... Shame that a lot of the gore got trimmed.... Though I am glad the footage was eventually found... The double impale looks rather wonky.... Maybe a quicker edit and not being too bright would had helped....
One thing I loved about the reboot is how they compressed the original film: Everything happened the same night young Jason "drowned", but it turned out Jason made it to the opposite shore and got lost on the way back. He saw his mother decapitated, and he retreated into the woods as a violent recluse
I like Part 2. Sing a visual of the Jason actor going to the hospital to get stitches in his finger and the nurse seeing his machete prop in his shoulder would have been priceless
Not a novel idea, it came from a real crime. The bag came from the Phantom Killer, which was a serial killer in Texas that wore a bag on his head. He was actually never caught. They made multiple movies of the killer. The story gos that behind the scenes people in Texas were angry that they used the bag, so they decided to stop using it. Then apparently the hockey mask was just chosen because the guy playing Jason put it on, and they loved the way it looked. Nonetheless just look up the phantom killer and you will see where the bag came from.
@@RandoLePerson your entitled to your opinion , like I am mine. I don't believe first ones are naturally the best, you can sometimes start from the 2nd ones, I've seen it in past with many films.
@@jamiefrisby1914 I agree with you also. i liked 2 better than the original but mostly because Jason is more fun to watch and Even the 2008 remake/reimagining didn't have Pamela as the main killer. C'mon ppl we watch Friday the 13th for Jason not his crazy mother 🗽
I enjoy the second one as well because you actually get a visual of a killer. Rather than seeing them in the very last part of the last act (like the first)
I own the DVD documentary entitled His Name Was Jason that was released shortly before the 2009 Friday the 13th remake. In it,Adrienne King tells the story of her stalker. I was really touched by how forthcoming she was about how it traumatized her and how long it took her to really move on from the whole thing. She comes off as this achingly sweet person who is made of sterner stuff than it appears at a glance. People tend to be pretty down on Alice as a final girl. How ironic is it that if the character had more in common with the actress who portrayed her, she'd be far more popular with slasher fans.
Man this dudes voice is smooth as, its like having an uncle tell you all this horror movie facts, so easy to listen to. All these other voiceover channels have the most nasally monotone USA college kid voice.
The introduction of Jason as the main villain, running round looking like a hillbilly version of the elephant man. After his mother was cruelly killed off at the end of the original film, Jason is forced to take matters into his own hands(literally) taking revenge and killing off anyone he can, all this while wearing a pillow case over his massive head, with just one eye hole( that's dedication.) Also has a great actress ( Amy Steel) as the main character trying to survive and cast some logic on Jason's possible motives. Far superior to the original Friday the 13th film, and with out doubt - a great 1980s horror sequel.
"Paul, theres someone in this fucking room!!" Gonna watch a marathon tonight after work. 1-6. And definitely gonna play the game online for a bit after. Happy F13th Everyone!
The scene where Jason Bursts through the window is the single scariest scene in the entire series. Scared me for years. The second scariest being the scene where she says “Paul there’s someone else in this room.” So yes it’s by far the best sequel in the series.
Did you watch Skull: The Mask? Might have to do some digging, but it was Brazilian (me thinks) old school slasher, it was done with lot of gore, but it wasn't mean spirited like most new slashers tend to be, it had very much that grindhouse feel of 80s slasher movie. It's actually very straightforward, complete with piss poor dialogues and cheap acting, but it delivers on actual slasher part.
I have always wondered, if Jason loved his mom so much...why didn't he go back to her after surviving the almost drowning? Why did he go into the woods and never seek her out?
It’s implied that the night he finally found enough strength to physically manifest and tried to come back was when he first witnessed her decapitation.
I always figured Jason's dead body was at the bottom of the lake the entire time, and he only came back to life after his Mother killed the campers, and then died herself maybe due to a demonic ritual she was performing? I'm pretty sure it's shown she had the book of the dead, so I guess Jason's Mom was doing a ritual which required the death of however many people and when the final girl killed her, it was completed and Jason came back. Idk if that's true but that's what I assume, instead of Jason never dying and just hiding for years before going on a slaughter
I'm glad Steve Dash is getting highlighted for his performance as Jason in this film. He probably had the most "human" portrayal of the character in the series.
yea way better than that pussy who wouldn't do his own stunts and acts like he owns the role of Jason with that garaut kill of the "your all doomed" guy.
Alice getting killed off in the first scene was such a brilliant move. Sets up that no character is really ever safe even when you survive a previous film.

The actor who played jason in this one had a lot of eye problems because of the glue they used to hold the sack in place on his head and forced them to change the mask for part 3 so no one had to go through what he did ever again.
@@Cryptid1Spottsville yeah I could’ve looked it up but I don’t remember every single Jason actor off the top of my head besides brooker, white, and hodder.
I always wondered how Jason was able to find out where and travel to where Alice lived and NO ONE sees him. Let alone the fact that he took he corpse ALL THE WAY back to Crystal Lake to put at the altar to his mother.
Oh my god, I had no idea there was an uncut version with all that extra footage!! I am absolutely going to buy this. It's ridiculous how much the MPAA cut out of all the Friday the 13th films. Part 2 has such a special place in my heart because Sack Jason always feels kinda still fresh and innocent compared to part 3 and so on. I always thought his lack was inspired by the town that dreaded sundown.
I saw the original "Friday The 13th" on Friday the 13th, but I thought the Jason movies were stupid, too much plot armor to unpack. But some nice eye candy in Part 2 with Sandra & Terri
I totally forgot part 2 took place 5 years after the original. This is defo my fav F13 film. Shame about the kill cuts...,.. but who cannot forget Terri......ggggggrrrrrrrrr.
I wonder what’s going to happen to the franchise now that Victor Miller, the writer of the original Friday The 13th, has the rights back (to the first movie). He can reboot it, but I don’t think he can do anything with the adult version of Jason Voorhees, nor do I think he wants to even though Jason is solely what the franchise has become about. My guess is he’ll just sit on the rights and do nothing with them, but then why would he go to court and fight to get them back? Seems like a massive waste to finally get them back and not do anything with them, but then again that would be better than just doing a cash-grab reboot with nothing new or impressive added into it.
Its weird Sean S, Cunningham can't use Friday the 13Th title, or anything about Crystal Lake, or camp counselors, or Pamela, ned, Alice etc. and Victor Miller can't use adult Jason, sack head Jason, uber Jason etc, Mr. Miller could do a reboot of the 1st one and focus on Pamela or Alice I guess, or just simply change Jason's name like noes did with Nancy Thompson, to Nancy Holbrook, and eliminate the hockey mask, or on the other hand Mr. CUNNINGHAM could start from the end of Jason x, Jason goes to hell, or Freddy vs Jason and eliminate all Crystal lake references and any mentions of Friday the 13th , or Pamela , but 2 stubborn old men being stubborn want it all so it is what it is. The Halloween franchise put their differences asides and are making that money with that trilogy. I still have parts 2 to 7 and Freddy vs Jason so I'm good either way👍
@@MrMichaelcampbell425 I do believe Victor Miller actually has the rights to the Jason name (it was in the original movie, which he has the rights to now), so he doesn’t have to change it. On the other hand, adult hockey-mask-wearing Jason is a creation of the later movies (specifically F13, Part 3), so Miller can’t use that version of Jason. Sean Cunningham has the rights to adult Jason, but he can’t use the Voorhees name at all or anything from the first movie, like Camp Crystal Lake, Pamela Voorhees, etc. I do believe that’s why they named part 10 Jason X (instead of Friday The 13, Part 10) and took him out of the lake (and Earth, for that matter), because they realized there might be legal issues in the years to come and wanted to start a franchise based solely on Jason’s name alone. I could be very wrong though, since Friday The 13th (2009) is a semi-reboot/sequel, and reintroduced Jason back into Camp Crystal Lake. I don’t think they mention the Voorhees name, or Pamela for that matter, but they do show a “flashback” (new actress playing her and getting decapitated), as well as a different character pretending to be her to control Jason, like what happened in F13, Part 2. I could be partially right though, since they remade the beheading scene instead of using footage from the original movie. Also, there’s a news article that states that Cunningham can’t use Jason at all, even without any references to the first movie, unless he gets permission from Miller, which is very interesting.
@@What.99 For the remake, New Line and Paramount worked together (Paramount sold NewLine only the rights to Jason, But not the lore of the movies, or the name F13th)
@@jesusramirezromo2037 What remake? If you’re talking about the 2009 movie, which is literally called Friday The 13th, that’s a reboot/sequel, but nothing even close to a remake. If Paramount didn’t sell New Line the rights to the name Friday The 13th, and only sold them the rights to Jason, why was the 2009 New Line movie literally named Friday The 13th? Are you talking about an upcoming movie? Your statement doesn’t sound right to me.
I like the scenario that Mrs. Voorhees resurrected Jason after he drowned using the Necronomicon, and realizes it was a horrible mistake as he is a Pet Semetary-like perversion of her son. However, she can't bring herself to kill him and instead leaves him on his own in the woods at Crystal Lake. I think this actually works better to explain the psychosis she develops in unknowingly speaking for him as that is _extremely_ rare and really takes something more than "just" losing a child to drowning, there needs to be compounded trauma of some type. Also, I think scenes like Pamela screaming "Look what you did to him!" at Alice make more sense with a living Jason-abomination actually roaming the area rather than her referring to a years-dead and buried child. She not only blames the counselors for Jason's death but also for her grievous mistake of trying to bring him back resulting in the thing that he is now, something she also has tremendous guilt herself over, hence the psychotic split-personality and escalation to serial murderer.
I saw a double-feature of Friday the 13th 1 and 2 at a theater with two friends when I was 11 or 12. It scared the piss out of me. I mean, it really disturbed me. For the next six months, I barely slept an hour every night. I couldn't be alone in our house - if I came home from school and no one was home, I went outside no matter what the weather was. I really had to work hard to keep my mother from knowing what was going on. She hadn't wanted me to see it because she knew horror movies freaked me out, but I convinced her I had outgrown that.
Best of the franchise. Best final girl, great atmosphere, great kills, some very good jump scares, good cast, very good ending. It just lacks the iconic hockey mask.
This film could have had less impact at the box office because of oversaturation of the market like you said, or because horror sequels in general tended to bring in less money. Halloween II brought in more money than Friday the 13th Part II but... it didn't bring close to the money the original made. For a lot of people, the story was finished, and it wasn't interesting for them to go and spend their money on a film that felt pointless, when they could get their gore feast elsewhere with a fresh new story and characters.
We went to the cinema to see it in 81, and because of its short length, the cinema doubled billed it with another recent film, which they tended to choose, based on its appropriateness to the main feature. In this instance they chose Airplane! and after seeing it, I could see why.
I actually think Ft13th Part 2 has held up quite well. It's a solid sequel and an awesome set up to the next best two sequels after this. Parts 2 through The Final Chapter are hands down the best out of the series. After that definitely took a turn. JS.
Definitely an infinitely superior final girl in this one. True she doesn't make sure Jason is dead after the machete through the shoulder, but it's nowhere near as bad as having the drop on his mom at least three times and declining to finish her off.
This to me is the best film in the series. Scary, funny, great gore, and just real feeling. The scene where Amy pees in the bathroom is one of the best parts as almost every horror movie omits that part of real life. Ginny forever!
This sequel was always the creepiest one to me. Something about seeing Jason's shack that he's been living in for the past 20 or so years, especially with hos mother's head in there, was creepy as shit to me.
Muffin is CLEARLY shown to be dead , so Jason through the window is a dream , Paul is Alive and this is why Jason is bald in the next movie (because we never really see him) which takes place the next day.
I grew up in the BEST era for future movie buffs, and that was becoming a teen in 1980. Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, Star Wars, and the slasher films, and Friday the 13th Part II was one of the best.
I think you left out an important point about Mrs Voorhees: her son not only died drowning, he died drowning because the camp counselors were negligent (off fooling around, actually). That provides her main motivation for wanting revenge against any counselors, responsible or not, especially when they were being promiscuous, as it was a trigger for her trauma
@@JoBloHorrorOriginals........ Thanks for mentioning the Mystery of what happen to Paul. he fights Jason in the Cabin we assume he was killed by Jason then...but later shows up to save Ginny at the end of the movie.....yet he disappears again after Jason jumped through the window to grab Ginny and later she is calling out for Paul but no one tells her if he is alive or dead......the Mystery of what happen to Paul seems to be over looked when anyone talks about Friday the 13th part 2. he has become a Unsolved Mystery.
Dude, I've got good news for you. If you think this guy is the best, I can make some other suggestions. The Cinema Snob reviews and Decker Shadow's, Summer of Freddy Vs. Jason are great. Also, 'his name was Jason', is a must see. Just do a TH-cam search and you'll be on your way ... Cheers from Canada
Thanks for breaking down the this movie sequence time line!! As many times I watched, this first time I about the 2 months span when Alice was killed, and the 5 years jump with arrival of teens at the camp!!
I never saw the connection between Jason's sack & The Elephant Man, but I see the similarities once it was mentioned in this video. In all fairness though, the sack in The Elephant Man is something the real Merrick wore, so its not a cinematic invention. Jason's sack is definitely a rip off of The Town That Dreaded Sundown.
JoBlo Horror Originals Thanks for mentioning the Mystery of what happen to Paul. he fights Jason in the Cabin we assume he was killed by Jason then...but later shows up to save Ginny at the end of the movie.....yet he disappears again after Jason jumped through the window to grab Ginny and later she is calling out for Paul but no one tells her if he is alive or dead......the Mystery of what happen to Paul seems to be over looked when anyone talks about Friday the 13th part 2. he has become a Unsolved Mystery.
Yeah the editing and production of this movie was all over the place? What happened to Paul? How did Terri die? If Jason didn't die as a child why was his mother trying to avenge his death? If he did die as a child and was brought back to life to avenge his mom's death, how is he an adult? I guess it's not to be taken so seriously.
@@baumer2504 Jason's mom might have assumed he was. did if the police never got the body out of the lake.....or maybe by some miracle he did survive lived and grew up in the woods but couldn't find his mom to let her know he survived....depends on where Jason lived before the accident.........did Jason and his mom live in a town by the lake or another state. lot of mystories aside from Paul.
Despite the fact Jason was still alive didn't make any sense I still think this is one of the best sequel's in the franchise we get a more realistic portrayal of Jason he's more human he's running feeling pain and ginny one of the smartest and best final girls in the franchise
Still stands up. What the heck happened after Part 3 in this franchise is more like it. There a plenty of contemporary "horror" films that can be deservedly attacked than those old films that were better made. Lol
This is one of the best movies in the series. How many directors, especially in that era, would have the guts to kill a paralyzed man with a machete through the face and throw him/his chair down a flight of stairs?
Wtf happened to this franchise was Victor Miller killing it off for his own selfish reasons all because he doesn't want Jason to be a villain hence the lawsuit. Ridiculous
My favorite will always be the first for being the template... But this Part 2 is a ton of fun and the chase at the end is tighter, scarier than the climax of the orginal (And Part 3's final chase between Jason and Chris is even better). I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the 80's Friday the 13th movies. Let's do videos about the other sequels, guys!
Part 2 has always been my all-time favorite Friday the 13th film. I felt Jason looked and was far scarier in this film then his later hockey mask version.
Jason was actually played by 5 people in this film. Ellen Lutter(legs at the beginning), Jerry Wallace(hand and feet inserts), Carl Fullerton(double impalement shot), Warrington Gillette(unmasked), Steve Dash(masked).
My whole life, seeing this movie when i was a kid for the first time when it came out 5 years later on VHS, until my adult grown life today, i always had thought it was the mouse that walked past Ginny when she was under the bed, had done the peeing. Only recently when i watched it again, for some reason, after seeing the movie thousands of times, all of a sudden my brain went "damn, she just pissed her self cuz she was scared of a mouse and not Jason." then after i thought that i was like......OMG. i'm a moron. LOL
@@LABOUMDECADANCE That is exactly what I always thought. and always blamed that mouse for giving away that she was under the bed. I mean it just never clicked. She was more afraid of the rat than him. what is even funny is i wrote this before i even got to the part in this video where they actually talk about it. LOL
If an uncut version of this movie was released, and they would've ended it when Jason pulled Jenny through the window.I could have part 2 as one of my favorites, I enjoy the entire franchise so this is definitely an enjoyable watch💀💀💀💀💀
Potato sack,Jason is much more terrifying than any other hockey mask version IMO! Warrington Gillette's Jason is scary AF. The jump scare reveal at the end is horrific! Lol. Talk about a face made for radio!
Part 2 is the best of all of them.
I love the atmosphere, the lone eye looking out of the sack, the overalls, the sadistic
but kinda clumsy way Jason carries himself.
He even cowers during one scene, when Ginny has the pitchfork.
It's so creepy, and perfectly early 80's slasher.
Steve Miner did a great job taking over the director's chair.
absolutely not
I’m going to agree with you. I very much prefer deformed wild man Jason to zombie Jason. That crap got too silly.
@@taterboob real Jason is way better than paranormal fake Jason.
Jason coward one Jenny had the chainsaw, not the pitch fork. I agree that the atmosphere is fantastic and Jason is more realistic in this movie.
Agree, part 2 is the best of the franchise!
The uncut footage finally released after nearly 40 years. Definitely my favorite.
What ??? A new uncut version ?? Fuck yes.
Nah….. just uncut footage of the death scenes…. Obtained off a VHS tape the make up effects person owned….
Part 2 is my absolute favorite 🪓
Same
Snap 👍
Me too
And as for Terri or is it Terry for some reason I thought it was with an i lol...... Damn had a crush on her lol
Part 3 better

Quick shout out to Harry Manfredini's score, which is top tier in this entry

@@sampaige6373 how do you know it wasn't Jason calling? The caller hung up.
It's a good point but I think the Riffers at MST3K said it best, (paraphrasing), 'it's a movie, maybe we should just relax'. Lol
Oh my god, I had no idea there was an uncut version with all that extra footage!! I am absolutely going to buy this. It's ridiculous how much the MPAA cut out of all the Friday the 13th films. Part 2 has such a special place in my heart because Sack Jason always feels kinda still fresh and innocent compared to part 3 and so on. I always thought his lack was inspired by the town that dreaded sundown.
Chase scene with Amy Steel is one of the best in the franchise.
Period.
I saw the original "Friday The 13th" on Friday the 13th, but I thought the Jason movies were stupid, too much plot armor to unpack. But some nice eye candy in Part 2 with Sandra & Terri
I’m a huge fan of Pt. 2 and it’s for me the most slept on of the series.
I thought I was the only one who noticed the Bay of Blood similarities. I even made a video where I green screened Jason into that film.
Technically my first taste of horror. I never looked back
I totally forgot part 2 took place 5 years after the original. This is defo my fav F13 film. Shame about the kill cuts...,.. but who cannot forget Terri......ggggggrrrrrrrrr.
I wonder what’s going to happen to the franchise now that Victor Miller, the writer of the original Friday The 13th, has the rights back (to the first movie). He can reboot it, but I don’t think he can do anything with the adult version of Jason Voorhees, nor do I think he wants to even though Jason is solely what the franchise has become about.
My guess is he’ll just sit on the rights and do nothing with them, but then why would he go to court and fight to get them back? Seems like a massive waste to finally get them back and not do anything with them, but then again that would be better than just doing a cash-grab reboot with nothing new or impressive added into it.
Its weird Sean S, Cunningham can't use Friday the 13Th title, or anything about Crystal Lake, or camp counselors, or Pamela, ned, Alice etc. and Victor Miller can't use adult Jason, sack head Jason, uber Jason etc, Mr. Miller could do a reboot of the 1st one and focus on Pamela or Alice I guess, or just simply change Jason's name like noes did with Nancy Thompson, to Nancy Holbrook, and eliminate the hockey mask, or on the other hand Mr. CUNNINGHAM could start from the end of Jason x, Jason goes to hell, or Freddy vs Jason and eliminate all Crystal lake references and any mentions of Friday the 13th , or Pamela , but 2 stubborn old men being stubborn want it all so it is what it is. The Halloween franchise put their differences asides and are making that money with that trilogy. I still have parts 2 to 7 and Freddy vs Jason so I'm good either way👍
@@MrMichaelcampbell425 I do believe Victor Miller actually has the rights to the Jason name (it was in the original movie, which he has the rights to now), so he doesn’t have to change it. On the other hand, adult hockey-mask-wearing Jason is a creation of the later movies (specifically F13, Part 3), so Miller can’t use that version of Jason. Sean Cunningham has the rights to adult Jason, but he can’t use the Voorhees name at all or anything from the first movie, like Camp Crystal Lake, Pamela Voorhees, etc. I do believe that’s why they named part 10 Jason X (instead of Friday The 13, Part 10) and took him out of the lake (and Earth, for that matter), because they realized there might be legal issues in the years to come and wanted to start a franchise based solely on Jason’s name alone. I could be very wrong though, since Friday The 13th (2009) is a semi-reboot/sequel, and reintroduced Jason back into Camp Crystal Lake. I don’t think they mention the Voorhees name, or Pamela for that matter, but they do show a “flashback” (new actress playing her and getting decapitated), as well as a different character pretending to be her to control Jason, like what happened in F13, Part 2. I could be partially right though, since they remade the beheading scene instead of using footage from the original movie.
Also, there’s a news article that states that Cunningham can’t use Jason at all, even without any references to the first movie, unless he gets permission from Miller, which is very interesting.
I honestly think fans would like a prequel some kind of story about Jason as a boy at the camp leading up to the drowning
@@What.99 For the remake, New Line and Paramount worked together (Paramount sold NewLine only the rights to Jason, But not the lore of the movies, or the name F13th)
@@jesusramirezromo2037 What remake? If you’re talking about the 2009 movie, which is literally called Friday The 13th, that’s a reboot/sequel, but nothing even close to a remake. If Paramount didn’t sell New Line the rights to the name Friday The 13th, and only sold them the rights to Jason, why was the 2009 New Line movie literally named Friday The 13th? Are you talking about an upcoming movie? Your statement doesn’t sound right to me.
Thank you. Enjoyed it.
I like the scenario that Mrs. Voorhees resurrected Jason after he drowned using the Necronomicon, and realizes it was a horrible mistake as he is a Pet Semetary-like perversion of her son. However, she can't bring herself to kill him and instead leaves him on his own in the woods at Crystal Lake. I think this actually works better to explain the psychosis she develops in unknowingly speaking for him as that is _extremely_ rare and really takes something more than "just" losing a child to drowning, there needs to be compounded trauma of some type. Also, I think scenes like Pamela screaming "Look what you did to him!" at Alice make more sense with a living Jason-abomination actually roaming the area rather than her referring to a years-dead and buried child. She not only blames the counselors for Jason's death but also for her grievous mistake of trying to bring him back resulting in the thing that he is now, something she also has tremendous guilt herself over, hence the psychotic split-personality and escalation to serial murderer.
One of the better in the franchise, certainly. Also, i always thought the mouse was the one who peed and gave her away near the end lol
Favorite Friday movie, favorite Jason, favorite Final Girl! Love Part 2.
I saw a double-feature of Friday the 13th 1 and 2 at a theater with two friends when I was 11 or 12. It scared the piss out of me. I mean, it really disturbed me. For the next six months, I barely slept an hour every night. I couldn't be alone in our house - if I came home from school and no one was home, I went outside no matter what the weather was. I really had to work hard to keep my mother from knowing what was going on. She hadn't wanted me to see it because she knew horror movies freaked me out, but I convinced her I had outgrown that.
Amy Steel is fantastic as Ginny Field. 😀👍
This movie is not only a great sequel, but a good entry overall. And lets not forget Ginny is one of the best final girls of all time.
Besides J.L.C she is the best!
Your voice sounds like Norm McDonald and I can’t unhear it
Best of the franchise. Best final girl, great atmosphere, great kills, some very good jump scares, good cast, very good ending. It just lacks the iconic hockey mask.
This film could have had less impact at the box office because of oversaturation of the market like you said, or because horror sequels in general tended to bring in less money. Halloween II brought in more money than Friday the 13th Part II but... it didn't bring close to the money the original made. For a lot of people, the story was finished, and it wasn't interesting for them to go and spend their money on a film that felt pointless, when they could get their gore feast elsewhere with a fresh new story and characters.
Glorious, my favorite of the franchise. Slasher Perfection.
Part 2 is easily the best Friday the 13th movie. I wish Steve Miner directed the 2009 reboot.
I agree 👍 💯
We went to the cinema to see it in 81, and because of its short length, the cinema doubled billed it with another recent film, which they tended to choose, based on its appropriateness to the main feature. In this instance they chose Airplane! and after seeing it, I could see why.
I actually think Ft13th Part 2 has held up quite well. It's a solid sequel and an awesome set up to the next best two sequels after this. Parts 2 through The Final Chapter are hands down the best out of the series. After that definitely took a turn. JS.
Steve Miner did an incredible job with part 2 & 3
Bag head Jason is my favorite one to use in the game! I also have his exclusive Funko POP!
Definitely an infinitely superior final girl in this one. True she doesn't make sure Jason is dead after the machete through the shoulder, but it's nowhere near as bad as having the drop on his mom at least three times and declining to finish her off.
2 is so good. Actually scary and love hillbilly Jason Voorhees!
Where have these gems of information been all my life?!👊🏾
Maybe Amy Steele could come back for a reboot like they did for Halloween kills or Halloween 2018
This to me is the best film in the series. Scary, funny, great gore, and just real feeling. The scene where Amy pees in the bathroom is one of the best parts as almost every horror movie omits that part of real life. Ginny forever!
This sequel was always the creepiest one to me. Something about seeing Jason's shack that he's been living in for the past 20 or so years, especially with hos mother's head in there, was creepy as shit to me.
I met Steve Dash a few months before his passing. Super nice guy. Him and his wife pleasant to meet.
Muffin is CLEARLY shown to be dead , so Jason through the window is a dream , Paul is Alive and this is why Jason is bald in the next movie (because we never really see him) which takes place the next day.
Good point
Actually they production team/writers wanted a bigger "stronger" look and that is why he is bald lol.
Don't Go In The House is a forgotten gem.
I grew up in the BEST era for future movie buffs, and that was becoming a teen in 1980. Raiders of the Lost Ark, ET, Star Wars, and the slasher films, and Friday the 13th Part II was one of the best.
Friday's part 2 & 4 are the best of the series hands down.
Once somebody restore the unrated kills back into the film... it should certainly be remembered as the best of the series
I think you left out an important point about Mrs Voorhees: her son not only died drowning, he died drowning because the camp counselors were negligent (off fooling around, actually). That provides her main motivation for wanting revenge against any counselors, responsible or not, especially when they were being promiscuous, as it was a trigger for her trauma
100% Correct. It's a very important point. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the video.
Cheers from Canada
They were making love! - Pamela
Part 1 was like the Prequel where part 2 is the starting block. Always been my favorite in the series with 4 right behind it.
All I can say is I love this channel
Thank you!
Wow what an amazing retrospective! This is the most in depth view I’ve watched of Part 2. Amazing work
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
@@JoBloHorrorOriginals........ Thanks for mentioning the Mystery of what happen to Paul. he fights Jason in the Cabin we assume he was killed by Jason then...but later shows up to save Ginny at the end of the movie.....yet he disappears again after Jason jumped through the window to grab Ginny and later she is calling out for Paul but no one tells her if he is alive or dead......the Mystery of what happen to Paul seems to be over looked when anyone talks about Friday the 13th part 2. he has become a Unsolved Mystery.
Dude, I've got good news for you. If you think this guy is the best, I can make some other suggestions. The Cinema Snob reviews and Decker Shadow's, Summer of Freddy Vs. Jason are great. Also, 'his name was Jason', is a must see. Just do a TH-cam search and you'll be on your way ...
Cheers from Canada
I love the first four equally but this one has some of the best tension and atmosphere!
I wasn't even born when this movie came out. My parents were still teenagers in 1981. 80's did have some of the best horror movies.
Thanks for breaking down the this movie sequence time line!!
As many times I watched, this first time I about the 2 months span when Alice was killed, and the 5 years jump with arrival of teens at the camp!!
Man have u done "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" ? That was a damn good 1
I cant believe Jason brought his moms head all way with him when he kills Alice. Pretty surreal.
I don't particularly like jump scares as they are usually a cheap scare tactic, but Part 2 is a masterclass in jump scares. The best from any movie.
I never saw the connection between Jason's sack & The Elephant Man, but I see the similarities once it was mentioned in this video. In all fairness though, the sack in The Elephant Man is something the real Merrick wore, so its not a cinematic invention.
Jason's sack is definitely a rip off of The Town That Dreaded Sundown.
Jason's sack is a rip off of your sack.

Yeah the editing and production of this movie was all over the place? What happened to Paul? How did Terri die? If Jason didn't die as a child why was his mother trying to avenge his death? If he did die as a child and was brought back to life to avenge his mom's death, how is he an adult? I guess it's not to be taken so seriously.
@@baumer2504 Jason's mom might have assumed he was. did if the police never got the body out of the lake.....or maybe by some miracle he did survive lived and grew up in the woods but couldn't find his mom to let her know he survived....depends on where Jason lived before the accident.........did Jason and his mom live in a town by the lake or another state. lot of mystories aside from Paul.
Despite the fact Jason was still alive didn't make any sense I still think this is one of the best sequel's in the franchise we get a more realistic portrayal of Jason he's more human he's running feeling pain and ginny one of the smartest and best final girls in the franchise
Jason being alive is more an urban legend thin the more they try to actually explain it the sillier it becomes it's better to leave it non-explained.
Wish they didn't kill the crazy guy. He could have been the crazy Dr Loomis for years.
Jason with the one eyed bag was WAY scarier than the hockey mask. It always made me uneasy.
My favorite of the series
Still stands up. What the heck happened after Part 3 in this franchise is more like it. There a plenty of contemporary "horror" films that can be deservedly attacked than those old films that were better made. Lol
First movie i remember seeing Kevin Bacon in was the 1st or 2nd one of these movies.
This is one of the best movies in the series. How many directors, especially in that era, would have the guts to kill a paralyzed man with a machete through the face and throw him/his chair down a flight of stairs?
Steve's such an underated horror director. One of my favorites.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre? But I agree not many targeted victims with disabilities on slashers at that time
@@salthesalmonshark6849 - Exactly! The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the only other movie I can think of right now.
Wtf happened to this franchise was Victor Miller killing it off for his own selfish reasons all because he doesn't want Jason to be a villain hence the lawsuit. Ridiculous
At 14 and at 55, I still think Teri has a great pair of legs. I love this sequel.
I was 12 when I watched this without my parents finding out. And after seeing Teri I immediately started looking at girls at my school differently.
This movie fucking rules. My favorite in the series.
My favorite will always be the first for being the template... But this Part 2 is a ton of fun and the chase at the end is tighter, scarier than the climax of the orginal (And Part 3's final chase between Jason and Chris is even better). I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the 80's Friday the 13th movies. Let's do videos about the other sequels, guys!
Part 2 has always been my all-time favorite Friday the 13th film. I felt Jason looked and was far scarier in this film then his later hockey mask version.
Hell yeah! Jo blow great video keep on keeping on man, just like Jason vorhees
Jason was actually played by 5 people in this film. Ellen Lutter(legs at the beginning), Jerry Wallace(hand and feet inserts), Carl Fullerton(double impalement shot), Warrington Gillette(unmasked), Steve Dash(masked).
My whole life, seeing this movie when i was a kid for the first time when it came out 5 years later on VHS, until my adult grown life today, i always had thought it was the mouse that walked past Ginny when she was under the bed, had done the peeing. Only recently when i watched it again, for some reason, after seeing the movie thousands of times, all of a sudden my brain went "damn, she just pissed her self cuz she was scared of a mouse and not Jason." then after i thought that i was like......OMG. i'm a moron. LOL
That would have been a lot of pee for such a tiny mouse 😂
@@LABOUMDECADANCE That is exactly what I always thought. and always blamed that mouse for giving away that she was under the bed. I mean it just never clicked. She was more afraid of the rat than him. what is even funny is i wrote this before i even got to the part in this video where they actually talk about it. LOL
This is my fav one. I still watch it like once a year.
Best one of the series. They just get campy from here on in.
If an uncut version of this movie was released, and they would've ended it when Jason pulled Jenny through the window.I could have part 2 as one of my favorites, I enjoy the entire franchise so this is definitely an enjoyable watch💀💀💀💀💀
Potato sack,Jason is much more terrifying than any other hockey mask version IMO! Warrington Gillette's Jason is scary AF. The jump scare reveal at the end is horrific! Lol. Talk about a face made for radio!
