I'm ok with plot holes as long as the movie is good. In the case of part 2, the beginning sequence of that movie is so great I didn't even notice it until I dated this girl who was a big fan of the Friday movies. One weekend, we hung out on my couch the entire weekend smoking kind, analyzing the movies as if they were the zapruder film. Good times.

I had to settle for recording it off the TV late one night and watched it with my cousin-awesome stuff.

That is a drag. But I know there was some wacky shit going on with that Mary Whitehouse chick, and it was a good way to distract the public from Maggie Thatcher's evil deeds. But at least ya got to watch it before Jason became a joke (and a zombie).

First off, Jason is "slow" to put it kindly. Am I supposed to buy that he actually tracked down Alice? I don't think with his one eye, he'd be able to get a drivers license. And you can't get ANYWHERE in Jersey without a car, but maybe it's one of those special areas where buses do run.

So let's say Jason checks out a bus schedule and can figure that out... He still has to figure out where Alice lives. This happened way before the internet, so he couldn't just Google her name, besides, when would he have found out her name? For the sake of continuity, let's say that he over heard a camp counselor use her first and last name. Then he breaks into Alice's apartment and stabs her with an ice pick.

So he was smart enough to stalk someone pre-internet. That takes a lot of planning and, intelligence. But by the end of the movie, he's so dopey, that he thinks Amy Steel is his mom because she tucks back her hair and puts on a moldy sweater. Maybe he was huffing paint thinner or eating some weird berries growing in the woods, I don't know. I just always thought that aspect of the movie was pretty interesting.

He was a frightned Retard

The sad thing is that NOW in the UK we are going back that way with a conservative government-we've had Human Centipede 2 banned outright, A Serbian Film butchered by cuts and the poster for Final Destination 5 banned due to "complaints".Also there are still some "video nasties" that still haven't been released on dvd here. This time people aren't being distracted they can see exactly what's happeneing. Or at least I hope they can before censorship goes too far

That may be a good thing.

ANY sort of censorship is wrong! No matter how shitty the movie (Honestly Fear, HC2 is terrible, the first one is much better, but you still have the right to see it).

What's real funny is the people running governments today were the ones who were running out to the video stores back in the day, renting Evil Dead, and Xtro. BUt now that they have kids, they want the world to be a sterile safe environment so as not to bruise their precious childs fragile, egg shell minds.

Yep it's all part of this brain washing, controlling issue they have pretty soon, well have to have a bill passed to use a public restroom, or we can only eat pizza on fridays. It seems that majority of the people do not know how to think for them selves anymore. They just figure "well that the way it is"

In honor of this great holiday (Friday the 13th), I feel a little Friday the 13th chat would be lovely. My question is this: Is Friday the 13th The New Begining really a bad movie? I mean I kinda feel butthurt over the lack of the real Jason Voorhees, but the rest of the movie...I just don't like it. Besides, isn't the fact it really isn't Jason enough to allow someone to hate it? At least halloween 3 Season of the Witch was an overall good movie.

I don't actually hate it, it's not the best by far. But almost any Friday the 13th is better than none. I don't like part 8 myself. anyway, check out this awesome take on Jason's life after the killing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98Nf5PtTRNk
