Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Continuity mistake: After Tamara comes out of the the shower she is completely dry. (00:36:00)

Revealing mistake: When Tamara is thrown into the mirror, in the reflection you can tell that it is a stunt-woman. (00:36:50)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: In the scene in which Jason kills the captain of the boat, it is quite obvious that Jason uses the blunt side of the machete to slit the captain's throat. (00:39:10)

Revealing mistake: When Jason kills the boat captain he comes up way short of making contact with the captain's throat. He's probably a good 2 inches away from it. It definitely doesn't help that this scene is in slow motion either. (00:39:10)

Visible crew/equipment: When Sean and Rennie come up the stairs just before finding Sean's dead father, as the camera moves backwards, you can see the camera's shadow on the wall to the right. (00:39:40)

Mortug

Factual error: The amount of people on the ship is very unrealistic. Although the low number of people is to benefit the plot, there should have been cooks, waiters, deckhands, boiler room engineers, cleaners etc. (00:40:00)

Suggested correction: Well there was a deckhand and boiler room workers. As for cooks, etc, they were on a class trip taking no more than a few hours. They didn't need all that.

Factual error: When the captain gets his throat slashed, hardly any blood comes out. When a persons throat is cut, blood will pour out in large volumes as there is a major artery in the neck. (00:41:00)

Continuity mistake: When McCulloch and Miss Van Deusen enter the cabin where everyone else is, they have just been out in the rain, but they are perfectly dry. (00:41:10)

Hamster

Visible crew/equipment: When Eva is in the disco, after Jason bursts in, as she pulls at the second locked door, you can see the reflection of two crewmember's faces in the silver disco pole. (00:45:30)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When Jason strangles Eva, you can see where the rotten flesh makeup ends on his arm, and that the rest is just a fabric sleeve. (00:46:10)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When Jason starts to strangle Eva in the disco room, a blue strobe light suddenly starts to flash. If you look behind Eva in one shot, you can see the actual strobe light come into the shot, obviously being held by a crewmember. (00:46:20)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: After Wayne shoots his friend, he looks through his camera. The timer on the camera reads "20:19." It cuts to another angle of Wayne, then back. The camera still reads "20:19" even though a few seconds passed in the other shot. (00:48:30)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: Flammable liquid is clearly visible on Wayne's jeans, when he is thrown into the switchboard, and caught on fire. (00:49:30)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When Jason throws Wayne into the electrical switchboard, Wayne's jeans catches fire before he even hits the board. (00:49:30)

Continuity mistake: As the water gushes out of the engine room, Rennie and Sean get totally soaked. They run upstairs and now their clothes are completely dry. (00:56:00)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When the deckhand falls to the floor, you can clearly see the square outline of the equipment holding the axe in his back. (00:57:20)

Hamster

Rennie: There is a maniac trying to kill us.
Waitress: Welcome to New York.

More quotes from Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Trivia: Jensen Daggett was genuinely terrified when actor Kane Hodder pulled her towards him, through the porthole. This is because a huge shard of glass was right by her throat and Kane was unknowingly pulling her toward it. You can see the frightened look on her face. (00:53:25)
