Continuity mistake: When the girl runs to the car to escape Jason, the wipers are in a position different from when the car had been turned off. (01:03:20 - 01:07:25)

Visible crew/equipment: When Ginny and Paul walk down the stairs after they found the bed drenched in blood, Paul walks by the camera and you can see the camera's shadow on his chest. You can tell it's the camera's shadow, because when it cuts Ginny walks the same way and no shadow falls on her chest. (01:04:35)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Ginny has run out to her VW Bug and is attempting to start it, Jason is supposed to be back in the house just on his way out to get her. But if you look at Ginny sitting in the car, in the lefthand corner of the windshield you can see a reflection of the top of Jason's hood. He was there all the time, crouched down beside the fender just waiting for his cue to pop up. (01:07:45)

Continuity mistake: When Jason enters Ginny's cabin, all that is shown are his feet. After running through rain and mud, he leaves no tracks whatsoever, and his shoes are spotless. (01:10:20)

Revealing mistake: When Jason is on top of Ginny's car, she reacts to the pitchfork through the roof a second too early. (01:10:50)

Suggested correction: She had just seen Jason through the window before he disappeared. Then the pitchfork comes the roof. Just before she screams, you can hear the pitchfork tearing through the fabric of the roof. That's what's she's reacting to.

Also, when you see the car and Jason is reaching in through the hole in the roof from the passenger side, it's pretty obvious she would have seen him before he stuck the pitchfork through. That could be another reason she react before we see the pitchfork.

Revealing mistake: Notice when Jenny pees it's shown just pouring out. But she's lying flat and her jeans would obviously absorb most of it. But it just pours out like she's standing up with no jeans on. (01:14:30)

Revealing mistake: At the end of the film when Ginny and Paul are fighting Jason, his machete hits the shrine where his mother's head is displayed and where Terri's body is strewn. When the machete hits, Terri flinches, even though she is dead. (01:16:00)

Continuity mistake: As Ginny hits Jason in the shoulder with the machete, in the first shot it catches part of his sack and is embedded diagonally. In the next shot, the blade is clear of the sack and the machete is now perfectly horizontal. (01:16:55)

More quotes from Friday the 13th Part 2

Trivia: The movie ends with a shot of Mrs. Voorhees old wrinkled head on Jason's shrine. Originally her head was supposed to open its eyes, and smile. Steve Miner comments on commentary how he decided to get rid of the idea, as he felt it would make the movie come across as more cheap and hokey than normal.

More trivia for Friday the 13th Part 2

Question: At the beginning the 2 kids call Ted to get directions, but when they see their truck being towed, they leave the phone, and chase the tow truck. The truck is taken right around the corner, and Ted is outside, waiting for them. There were no pay phones showing where Ted was, and no cell phones, so how did Ted call them, and get to be right around the corner so fast?

Lovescarymovies

Answer: Probably from inside the building he was standing in front of.
