FAQ

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?"
When the gang is going to the lake for the first time, they walk for a long time, so long that it ends up being a better idea to go back and get the car. When Samantha goes for a swim, it seems much closer. Why?

One of my favorites, 23 December 2004
7/10
Author: Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) from WILMINGTON, NC

This is one of my favorites sequels to Friday the 13th. There was quite a few parts that was not surprising to me. I liked the part where the two guys hook up with one of the twins, and the kids who was the special effects whiz really take charge of things when Jason made the kill. Especially when he orphaned the siblings. Jason's bloody reign of terror was not all that surprising. He killed with many methods: Hacksaw Toss out the window Shadow stab Cranial Compression Eviseration Etc. You name it, he'll do it. The one undisturbed scene is when one of the girlfriends was changing clothes and the sensual matter was really played out well. That's the one scene that will be never forgotten. The movie was great though there was a little humor to it. It is indeed one of my favorites of the sequel. Rating 3 out of 5 stars.
