Part 4 is epic! Jason is soo menacing and vicious in it. And Tom Savini's effects are some of his best.

It also holds a special place in my heart because it was the first rated R horror I saw in the theaters. I was only 9 years old, yet my mom knew I loved the previous 3 (HBO was great for horror back in those days), and she's a closet horror fan, so she took my friend and I to see it. My friend freaked before we even went into the theater and was trying to convince me to see some Rick Springfield movie. Afterwards, he was a mess on the ride home and kind of stopped hanging out with me after that.

The original has to be number one,with part two a second.

All the others are variable apart from Jason X which ranks so far down the list that a number hasn`t been named yet.Man, Jason X is a travesty of the highest proportions.What a godamn awful movie that is.

I don't know about it being a travesty. Jason X is pretty fun IMO. It had a couple of great deaths and David Cronenberg. Total mindless popcorn entertainment. The series lost any sort of integrity after it carried on for a 5th flick anyways.

Part 5 I think is sub-titled "The New Beginning". Which was very apt because it was the beginning of the end. The series became laughable. While I can appreciate some aspects of them, they can't compare to the original 4.

Part 2 is great! Although, there's one aspect of it that's sort of odd. It's the only time Jason really left the confines of Camp Crystal Lake to kill someone (the chick who chopped his mom's head off). But there in lies the problem.

First off, Jason is "slow" to put it kindly. Am I supposed to buy that he actually tracked down Alice? I don't think with his one eye, he'd be able to get a drivers license. And you can't get ANYWHERE in Jersey without a car, but maybe it's one of those special areas where buses do run.

So let's say Jason checks out a bus schedule and can figure that out... He still has to figure out where Alice lives. This happened way before the internet, so he couldn't just Google her name, besides, when would he have found out her name? For the sake of continuity, let's say that he over heard a camp counselor use her first and last name. Then he breaks into Alice's apartment and stabs her with an ice pick.

So he was smart enough to stalk someone pre-internet. That takes a lot of planning and, intelligence. But by the end of the movie, he's so dopey, that he thinks Amy Steel is his mom because she tucks back her hair and puts on a moldy sweater. Maybe he was huffing paint thinner or eating some weird berries growing in the woods, I don't know. I just always thought that aspect of the movie was pretty interesting.

This is true. That spear throw in the opening of Jason X was great.

Haha good point! I never really thought about that I tend to ignore the plot holes n' shit when it comes to flicks like this.

Completely agree=for me I felt it had the best brooding and menacing atmosphere throughout. I felt Jason was at his most fearsome in this and also the ending was truly unforgettable. I'm jealous that you saw it at cinemas at 9yrs old. Here if a film is given any rating other than PG (12, 15, 18)you have to be old enough or they didn't let you in even if you were with a parent. I had to settle for recording it off the TV late one night and watched it with my cousin-awesome stuff.
