Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Other mistake: During the credits, in the shot of the diner, the asian man sitting to the right glances right at the camera. (00:02:00)

Hamster

Factual error: In relation to the position of the sewage workers shadow, and the way Jason kills him, there is no way that the splatter of blood would have hit the wall the way it does. In addition the blood looks like paint. (01:27:20)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: Throughout the movie, the black cloth covering Jason's eyes under the hockey mask is really noticeable, especially when he grabs onto the rope to climb aboard the Lazarus. (00:15:25)

Hamster

Other mistake: At the beginning when you see outside the museum, there's a man in a red T-shirt looking at the camera. (00:28:45)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Sean is given the present by his father, there is a polystyrene pad next to the computer navigator, which is sticking out. In the next shot it's pushed in neatly. (00:14:25)

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: When Tamara pushes Rennie overboard, the ship stays in the exact same place, as if it was docked. In reality, the boat would have sailed on, leaving Rennie behind. (00:29:25)

Continuity mistake: When Rennie gets up and walks over to the closet, you can see some items on the side, such as a decorated silk cloth, a bag etc. When Jason then looks through the porthole into Rennie's room, the position of all the items are different. (00:21:35)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When Rennie is being pushed overboard, notice the guys sitting in the background wearing a blue shirt. When it cuts from below the ship, as we see Rennie falling, the guy is gone. Also when Miss Van Deusen goes for the life ring, we see from below the ship that the guy is gone. But when it cuts he is there again. (00:29:20)

Waitress: Welcome to New York.

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)
