Visible crew/equipment: As Tina swerves off of the road after seeing her mum get killed by Jason in the middle of the road, if you look in the back of the car, you can see a camera set up, filming the shots in the back seat. (00:43:15)

9. 6/10. My third favorite of the franchise. I liked his look here. My three favorite Jason designs:Part 6, Part 3, Part 7. This was an interesting idea having him go against a telekinetic. I liked the idea only I hated the lead, Lar Park Lincoln. She couldn't act and didn't look like she was comfortable being there. Meanwhile you've got two better actresses who should've gotten the role. Diane Barrows who played the cliched nerdy girl and Susan Sullivan playing the cliched rich snotty girl. I loathed Lincoln who was thrust upon us. Whereas Sullivan looked like she got it and seemed to be having fun being there. Kane Hodder debuts here and he doesn't disappoint. If anything, he's become the favorite of all the Jasons for the franchise's fans and I can see why. The sleeping bag kill scene's great even though I prefer the kill where he uses a motorized saw on the character Dr Crews. Truly a good entry despite having the second worst heroine of the franchise.

Trivia: During the filming of the movie, Kane Hodder (the actor who plays Jason) was returning to his trailer one night after filming, still in his Jason costume. His trailer was approximately one mile down a dark, dirt back-road. Exhausted from filming, Kane decided to take a shortcut through the woods surrounding the area. While in the woods, he encountered a local resident, who asked Kane if he was filming the new Friday movie. Thinking it a rather foolish question, given that he was still in his Jason costume, mask and all, Kane did not answer. After the young man tried to communicate with him several more times, Kane remained staring and silent, until he lunged for the man and groaned, sending the man in an absolute panic. He was so terrified that he fell several times and struggled to his feet, screaming as he ran away. The next morning, Kane Hodder was informed that the Sheriff would be by the set later in the day for questioning, but the Sheriff never came. Definitely a hilarious, if not terrifying joke.
Question: How can Jason go into the lake in Parts 6 and 7 if he's afraid of water due to drowning? He'd freeze up from the sight right?
Answer: I think that Jason is actually afraid of unpredictable situations with water. He is familiar with Crystal Lake after living in the forest for so long. He might be less hesitant to enter this lake sometimes.

Answer: Jason being afraid of water is not portrayed consistently throughout the series. Continuity between sequels was not a major concern when making this series.
