Trivia:

Several scenes in this film are identical or are like to the scenes in the original Friday the 13th: - Debbie sees drops of blood falling from above she looks up and a knife goes through her throat. This scene is much like Kevin Bacon's scene in the first film. - After Chris thinks she had killed Jason she goes to sleep in a canoe on the lake much like Alice did in the first film. - When Chris awakes from the canoe Mrs. Voorhees comes out of the water and drags her under water much like what Jason did to Alice in the first film.

Goofs:

Boom mic visible: Shadow on Chuck's shirt as he walks downstairs to check the fuses.

Quotes:

Vera Sanchez: Who are you?
[Jason points the speargun at her]
Vera Sanchez: What are you doing?
[Jason is still pointing the speargun at her]
Vera Sanchez: Hey cut that out, that's not funny!
[Jason shoots her with the speargun]

PART 3 IS ALMOST AS GREAT AS THE ORIGINAL!!!

dont ask me why, but i really really enjoyed "f13:part3". even though it can be cheesy, it also has some great scares and terrifying chills. part 3 doesnt really depend on "on-screen" blood and guts, its more about the killer watching and waiting and not going around cutting peoples heads off and blood splattering on the walls. part 3 is also famous for introducing jasons hockey mask. to me, part 3 is A MASTERPIECE. ITS THE BEST 3RD MOVIE TO EVER BE MADE FOR ANY MOVIE SERIES...
