Freddy Vs. Jason

Revealing mistake: In the fight scene at the pier, after Freddy and Jason get thrown into the air by the carriage that smacks into them, they land on the pier in sort of slow motion. Watch Jason's left knee as he lands, you can see a kneepad.

Visible crew/equipment: When Freddy is brought into the real world and is fighting Jason in the cabin, look carefully as Jason picks up Freddy and pushes him out the window, you can see a cable attached to Freddy's chest in a close up. (01:14:35)

Paul Andrews

Revealing mistake: When Freddy and Jason are fighting towards the end of the movie, Freddy cuts Jason's fingers off so he drops his machete. But when Freddy catches it you can easily see that it isn't a real one (it's made of rubber, or something like that). (01:20:40)

Continuity mistake: When Jason throws Linderman to the wall he gets impaled by a sharp object stuck to the wall. However as Linderman is flying against the wall before hitting it the object isn't there. (01:13:40)

Plot hole: There's no way Jason could decapitate Blake's father the way he did without also decapitating Blake, who was sitting next to him sleeping.

Suggested correction: Maybe he set him up that way? His father did leave before this happened after all.

Revealing mistake: When Jason is slicing kids at the party, you can see the padding under their shirts.

Plot hole: In the institute, Will's friend gets out of his room to get the guard's keys. He couldn't have gotten out of his room because there isn't a handle or door lock inside the room.

Revealing mistake: When Linderman dashes at Jason and impales him with an American flag, Will is dragging Lori (who is supposed to be unconscious). He's dragging Lori by her arms... but when he suddenly reaches behind his back with his right arm, her right arm stays up in the air. (01:13:50)

Continuity mistake: When Freddy and Jason get hit by the cart at the construction site, they land next to each other on the dock. But in the next shot, we see Jason getting up quite a distance away from Freddy. (01:20:10)

Continuity mistake: At school when Lori approaches Will, she puts her hand on his chin. Will then places his hand on Lori's hand and says "I thought you might be in trouble," while their hands still are on his chin. When it cuts, their hands are suddenly down. (00:27:30)

Mortug

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Lori wakes up in the police station and follows the dropping blood, she turns a corner because she hears a little crying. Right after she turns the corner, the cameras show office windows. You can see someone sitting down and a cameraman on his knees.

Revealing mistake: In the fight scene nearing the end, Freddy cuts off Jason's fingers and slashing sound is heard. However you can tell that he completely misses Jason's hand, and in addition you can see the pre-made cuts that indicate where the fingers will fall off. (01:20:35)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Mark tells Kurt he never does checkers, we see Will holding his hand down on the table. When it cuts he has his hand up by his chin. (00:21:10)

Mortug

Visible crew/equipment: In the dream fight between Freddy and Jason, you can see the wire that holds the machete up when Freddy catches it after Jason swings it.

Hamster

Continuity mistake: In the boiler room in Jason's "dream", the container that pins Jason to the floor lands directly on top of him. However, in the close-up of it still pinning him down, you see Jason's upper-body sticking out to the side. (01:03:50)

Revealing mistake: When the drug "Hypnocil" is researched on the Internet, an article about the drug appears. If you pause the shot and read the article, you can see that it has nothing to do about Hypnocil. The article is about drug testing of students who engage in extracurricular activities. (00:55:10)

Revealing mistake: As soon as the drunk kid sets Jason on fire there's a few quick shots of Jason's face but there's a perfect hole right through his head where his eye is supposed to be and you can see the night sky through it. Some people say it's a reflection off the goggles to protect the actor from the flames. Either way it's a mistake. (00:40:45)

Plot hole: The sheriff orders a 24 hour roadblock on the town, yet the van has no trouble driving to Crystal Lake.

Continuity mistake: When the girls are at Lori's, just after Kia asks them if they think she needs a nose job, the lights flicker. When they flicker Kia is holding a compact in her left hand and she begins to close it. Both hands are up by her face but then the angle changes to a wider shot and her left hand is empty and on her lap and the compact is in her right hand as she places it on the sofa.

Hamster

Continuity mistake: After they have sedated Mark the institution guards throw him on the bed, and we see him landing on the pillow. Two shots later he is off the pillow. (00:22:30)

Shack: This ever-clear is kicking my ass.

Trivia: When Will is being administered the hypnosill at the mental institution, he sees the TV report about the murder on Elm St. Notice that the call letters for the TV station are "KRGR". Does that look like a relevant abbreviation to you?

Question: Why was Kane Hodder disallowed to reprise the role of Jason? I know that director wanted Jason to be taller than Freddy but Kane Hodder is taller than Robert Englund. Thus, if he was hired again, Jason still would have been taller than Freddy.

Answer: This is one of those questions where we'll probably never know the real reason because different people involved have different stories as to why Kirzinger was picked over Holder. Holder himself has said he doesn't know why he didn't reprise the role, especially since he was told he would and was given a script. Some accounts say Yu wanted Jason to tower over Freddy and Kirzinger is 2" taller than Holder. One of the casting directors said Yu thought Holder's version of Jason was too campy. Meanwhile, Yu said it was New Line Cinema's decision to recast Holder because they want to change the direction of the film and used this film as a reboot of the series.
