Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives

My favorite movie in the series.

The best movie in the Friday 13th franchise with the 4th best Jason design after Freddy VS Jason, Part 7 and part 8. He's brutal and badass.

My favorite out of the OG ones

This one in the series takes Jason on a totally new path. As an undead unstoppable nightmare.

The fun factor returns! Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives appeared to have learned from the fifth film, which was terrible, and decided to continue Jason’s horror legacy by maintaining his continuous menacing kills and bringing back all the thrills that made Jason, well, Jason. Grading: B-

Esse filme é maravilhoso, o melhor Sexta-feira 13 e é muito legal.

This has possibly the best opening to any film ever, it is so epic yet so ridiculous and is there to try and save the disaster of the last film. I have to query the timeline, within 2 real world years about 15 film years have gone by since Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984). After the great opening it does degrade into pretty forgettable nonsense with an especially low point being the paintball massacre. The triple machete kill was so pointless, why even bother including it? If it had been gory then I would see the point. The acting is dire from too many (but not all) of the cast, again especially the paintball fodder cannot act. I hate to keep going back to this issue but they decided to release it without all the gore, they could have done two versions if they wanted to appease the censors in a certain region. Why was the drunken caretaker’s death so lacking gore as well at the double machete kill right after? This film suffers so much from this issue. The core concept is near perfect, teenaged fodder away from home ruined by censorship. It deserves a gory remake. The final act is great, lots happening and a mostly serious tone that is still fun. There are so many great references to earlier films in the series like the hands coming forward as he wakes and the finale on the boat (but it’s done so much better here). By the sixth Saw (2004) film the quality was consistently bad, this is a better and more varied series overall.

gotta love me some alice cooper.

Finally we get a little more out of the Jason franchise. Even though his resurrection is corny - at least he's scaring us better now.

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986), rating 7/10 stars. This film I view many, many times. This the worst version of Tommy Jarvis, he acted like a stupid crazy guy. The second Jarvis was quiet and looked like Batman because of how he fought. Jason Voorhees should have been resurrected in Friday The 13th part V, with that it would have been the best movie in the series, Part Vi repeated from Part V in the dream sequence two farmguys they dug up Jason Voorhees and he was resurrected. As always pretty women in this films Kerry Noonan as Paula Mott was my favorite from this movie, also Jennifer Cooke as Megan and Renee Jones as Sissy Baker. Elias Voorhees appeared in the draft of the script. The Sheriff was the best character in this film for being a guy who opposes the protagonist and was an obstacle. Martin the stupid was the one who most deserved to die of violently way. The best quote was “some folks have a strange idea of entertainment” All the characters were stupid.
