Freddy Vs. Jason

Trivia: When Lori is sedated so she can bring Freddy out of Jason's dream, she mutters the limerick "Now I lay me down to sleep...", this line was used by Nancy in the original 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' when she entered her own to dream to face off with Freddy for the final time.

Trivia: This is the only film in which Jason arguably ends up as a "good guy." He's depicted much more benignly than usual (even "aggressive" fan-favorite Kane Hodder lost the role this time), with repeated emphasis that he is an innocent with the mind of a child only trying to please the memory of his psychotic mother. Even his murders in this film are merely him doing the manipulative Freddy's bidding. When the childlike Jason turns on the child-killer Freddy, it's a shockingly poetic justice.

Trivia: The filmmakers found it too difficult to give the film a definitive "winner" in the fight of Freddy VS Jason, as they didn't want to alienate fans of either franchise. Thus, the decision was made to have Freddy appear to "win" the first fight taking place in the dream, while having Jason appear to "win" in the second fight taking place in the real world, before giving an ambiguous ending implying that both may have survived. However, several crew members (including director Ronny Yu) later stated that Freddy is the one who would most likely be called the "winner", given his massive power and that his goal of being "remembered" had been completed.

Trivia: The lake at Camp Crystal Lake was also being used to film the final scenes for 'X-2: X-Men United' at the same time 'Freddy vs. Jason' was being filmed. The two film casts even stayed at the same hotel.

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)

More quotes from Freddy Vs. Jason

Question: When Will convinces Mark to hold off leaving town so he can go save Lori, Mark says "OK, but if you're not here by morning, I'm outta here." Just wondering how Mark was going to leave town (if he survived the night and Will didn't make it back) since Will had his vehicle?

Answer: He could choose to either hitchhike or get someone to take him to the next town.

Answer: Mark could have hiked on out of town. Or he could have bicycled. Or got a bus. Or a cab.

Answer: The town has said no-one comes in, and no-one leaves (which how do some of the character get to crystal lake which is in the movie mistakes as a plot hole) how could he leave?
