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.

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.

That is a drag. But I know there was some wacky shit going on with that Mary Whitehouse chick, and it was a good way to distract the public from Maggie Thatcher's evil deeds. But at least ya got to watch it before Jason became a joke (and a zombie).

The sad thing is that NOW in the UK we are going back that way with a conservative government-we've had Human Centipede 2 banned outright, A Serbian Film butchered by cuts and the poster for Final Destination 5 banned due to "complaints".Also there are still some "video nasties" that still haven't been released on dvd here. This time people aren't being distracted they can see exactly what's happeneing. Or at least I hope they can before censorship goes too far

That may be a good thing.

What's real funny is the people running governments today were the ones who were running out to the video stores back in the day, renting Evil Dead, and Xtro. BUt now that they have kids, they want the world to be a sterile safe environment so as not to bruise their precious childs fragile, egg shell minds.
