Trivia:
When they shot the scene where Samantha (Judie Aronson) is in a raft on the lake, it was in the dead of winter. It got so cold that Judie started crying, Jason actor Ted White got fed up and told director Joseph Zito that he would quit if they didn't let her come out and warm up. They did.

FAQ
In Samantha's death scene, Jason stabs her from beneath the inflatable boat she's lying in. Later, Paul swims out later and finds her dead body. If Jason had stabbed her through the bottom, shouldn't it have sunk?Rob says when he first meets Tommy and Trish that he is hunting bear, and Tommy says that there are no bears in the area to discredit his story. However, Paul gives a long speech to all the counselors in Part 2 about bear safety, saying that bears are wandering all over the woods, even though Part 2 takes place only a few days before Final Chapter. So who was telling the truth about the bears?
When the group is walking to the lake they meet up with Tina and Terri (coming from the opposite direction). But why is it that when the group asks the twins which way to go, they point in the same direction they had just come from, saying, "That is where we're going?"

I'm a firm believer that horror movies should be judged as horror movies, and not compared when reviewed to films such as The Godfather, and as far as horror films go, this one could easily be the Godfather of em all. Following closely in the tradition of the previous three Fridays, The Final Chapter places Jason smack dab in the middle of two isolated cabins deep in the woods, one occupied by a group of fun loving teenagers and the other by a peaceful lakeside family. Well of course the violence and gross fun is plenty, but what really sets this film apart from a lot of horror flicks and almost all of the Friday the 13th films is it's tone, quality and over all entertainment level. Director Joseph Zito has a sharp eye for detail and Splatter Master Tom Savini sure does send Jason out with a bang. Of course this ended up NOT being The Final Chapter, unfortunately it should have been. After this entry the series really started to go down hill. If your in the mood for a good old fashion 80's slasher flick, this one's for you.
