Fun Stuff

Trivia:
During the climactic fight between Jason and Ginny, Jason raises the mattock to block Ginny's machete swing. Amy Steel said that during the first take, the timing was wrong and she accidentally hit 'Steve Dash''s finger, causing him to have to go to the emergency room. After his finger was stitched up, he returned to set that night and insisted they complete the scene. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the scene where Vicki is changing, the window in the mirror has no curtains. The scene changes to outside then back inside again, and the window now has orange curtains on each side. more
Quotes:
Crazy Ralph: [to Jeff and Sandra] I told the others, they didn't believe me. You're all doomed. You're all doomed. more

FAQ

Do any animals die in this movie?
Jason was still 11 at the end of the original when he emerged from the lake. If there were only five years in between the first and second films, how could Jason have become full grown - especially since he hadn't grown at all while in the lake?
Paul picks Ginny up after she falls in the creek, and her head is resting on his left arm. Why is it that in the next shot it shows them coming around the cabin and her head is now resting on his right arm?

Here Comes JASON!!!!!!!!, 19 March 2005
8/10
Author: jmcgee321 from United States

After the brilliant Friday THE 13TH, Hollywood of course got greedy and rushed in a sequel with the help of writer Ron Kurz and director Steve Miner. What they deliver is a good installment and top notch death scenes not surpassing the first, but still shocking.

Five years after the events of the first film, the survivor of that horrible day is killed by JASON, the boy believed to be drowned for the last 25 years. So now he's finishing off what mama started. Making sure no one goes to Camp Crsytal Lake. But when a new summer camp is opening up right next to his domain, he decides to kill first and ask questions way later.

No the hockey mask dosen't come in folks, and no this is not better than the first one. But this one has a playful mode than one, which at it's time was serious. The acting by Amy Steel and John Furey is more of something to root for, because we do care if THEY do die or not. And JASON performance seem lock on, although KANE HODDER is a saint when he plays JASON. And the death scenes are toned down a bit, but still leaves us with that strange feeling in our stomach. Especially the bit involving a wheelchair, what will just make you say "Now that's just plain wrong."
