Summary: First Jason movie seen, Sweet as Hell!
Review: This movie was great, even by tv standards. One funny thing was the old guy sayin' "He's coming, Jason Voorhees is coming." And then there's the end of the film which is cool. His body's all mutilated by rot and the Toxic Waste. His mask burns and cripples. He is then turned back into a child, apparently in an attempt to have a second chance at life. But old habits die hard as Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X and Freddy vs. Jason proved. Anyway, the overall movie was amazing. My favorite part, if you're wondering, is in NYC, when he sees the hockey billboard. He looks at the goalie mask and I thought that was funny and good. Overall a great movie.

Summary: Paramount sinks the boat
Review: Jason Take Manhattan was a Paramount's final outing with the hockey-masked zombie and it really shows. This film contiued the diminishing returns of the series and New Line would pick up the franchise in the 1990s to breathe new life into it.They try to breathe new life into it here, as Jason boards a ship full of high school seniors headed to the Big Apple. It's not clear why, but then again, nothing in this flick is. After being resurrected yet again by unwitting fools, Jason dons a fresh hockey mask and begins the job of offing a particularly idiotic group of teens. As you've probably heard, the film takes place mostly on the cruise ship, not in Manhattan. Speaking of which, it's clear that the budget only allowed for about a day or two of shooting in New York. The only real New York footage appears to be the Times Square sequence. The rest is all sets and, apparently, Vancouver. This is probably the most bloodless entry in the series. I don't know what happened, but this is supposed to be a horror film, and yet the effects and the gore are almost non- existant. I know the MPAA went to town on this series, but honestly, every single action movie from the 1980s had A LOT more gore than Parts VI, VII, and this pathetic entry combined. I guess it's okay to show blood, gore, and excessive violence, as long as it's an action movie... In my opinion, Jason Takes Manhattan stands as the worst entry in this series. Even worse than Part V, which didn't even have Jason! The producers were in and out of here for a buck, and it's clear that they haven't even watched the previous entries in the series. Not only that, but the ending looks like they were trying to wrap it all up and put an end to the Friday franchise altogether, as the bankruptcy of ideas at Paramount dictated they just quit. The few highlights? Kane Hodder returns as Jason. And easily one of the best deaths in the head-punched-right-off-his-shoulders death of one of the teens. Also, Peter Mark Richmond is tremendous as the evil father-figure/principal of the heroine, yet another girl with a previous Jason encounter. This film also continues the Friday tradition (of the later sequels) of killing off family members and parental figures while sparing a male character for the heroine to ride off into the sunset with. The movie is terrible, but for a so-bad-it's-good flick, it's perfect. Recommended for Fridaya addicts and bad movie addicts.

Summary: What a Slush! An Absolute Wipeout.
Review: Footnote: Official Actual Rating: 0 Stars (0 Star Rating) Yoh yoh hoo hoo hoo yoh yoh hoo hoo (seismic burp), all aboard all aboard! Welcome to the eighth violence express for another round of Friday the 13th indignity. (sigh) Now this really hits the calamitous bowels of displeasure now doesn't it. I feel violated by all this toilet mentality moistness that's just about everywhere matties, and glad for being saved from it's clutches only from the end of the film itself. (Shaking face rapidly, moisture spraying everywhere), Jason Voorhees is back and this time he's going on vacation to Big Apple of course. On his way to the mystical climbs of New York, the premium practitioner of visceral violence has to first charter a cruise ride to Manhattan first. So Jason's back and this time he's hunting on a cruise ship no less. (Cue Carnival Cruise Theme) I can see him now just on this slaughter cruise killing fancy teens and doing what he does. He never stops one time and takes in the view. All he does is stalk the patrons to death. (Blood-curdling Scream) If you could see him now, just in his Manhattan run, scaring nerdy professors every chance he gets. He doesn't ask for service even one time. He was the best darn tipper of the entire cruise line. (End Carnival Cruise Line Accompaniment) So after our entrusted bastion of slasher film morality reaches New York City, he prowls about the urban meccas of the Big Apple and having an apparently dandy time recruiting new victims as it's audience is elastically stretched beyond the practical tolerance of incurable wounding abuse. (Cue Frank Sinatra's New York, New York) Start spreading the news, Jason's coming today. He's wants to hack apart of it New York, New York. Those second-rate Nikes they keep giving him away, he wants to bleed a wedge of it. New York, New York. If he can slaughter there then he can (bom-ba-bom-bom) butcher anywhere. It's up to him New York New York... (End music) Utterly the pit of the apple so to speak, avoid like the Bubonic Plague as though your wits truly depended on it. As for the DVD edition of Rob Hedden's Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, includes a standard 1:85 to 1 wide-screen anamorphic presentation, a fairly standard Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo audio track, a theatrical trailer, and fundamentally nothing else. P.S. I wonder if the filmmakers of these calamities think by putting Roman Numerals at the ends of these films that that will make them respectable? I suppose labeling is more important to them than actual product content I might guess.

Summary: Friday the 13th, the Muppet Babies version
Review: Well first off, I'll repeat what has been said before and remind every one that this movie's title is extremely misleading. Most of the movie is spent on a boat full of seniors, and the end of the movie isn't really him taking on Manhatten...its a bunch of random shots of Jason killing people on a set with shots of New York's skyline cut in to suggest we are in Manhatten. If you're expecting a big showdown atop the Empire State Building...guess again. The other problem with this movie is the simple fact that there's not enough gore! This is why I call it the "Muppet Babies version." Previous titles had Jason slicing people in half while they were doing a hand stand, but this one has most of the deaths either being bloodless or simply off screen. The climax of all this comes when Jason grabs a guy, inexplicably carries him off screen, and we watch a shadow of him hitting the man once in the head with a wrench, killing him. Thats it. If the Ghostbusters had come in the end and killed Jason it might have made this movie cool, but they don't and it isn't. It really should have been called: "Friday the 13th VIII: Jason Hangs Around a Boat and Then Kills a Few People In a Sewer."

Summary: Jason on the love boat
Review: This is a straight forward slasher. Jason is resurrected again and stows away on a boat with Crystal Lake's senior class on a trip to NYC. There isn't much new ground covered in this entry in the "Friday the 13th" chain, but there are a few creative kills (the sauna murder being the highlight), though the blood is once again kept to a minimum. There is actually very little of New York in this movie (and even that was filmed in Vancouver). It's alright, pretty much what you'd expect from the series that's as dead as some of Jason's victoms.

Summary: Jason the Tourist
Review: Jason's back through no fault of his own (dang power lines!) This time we have a graduating high school class taking a cruise ship to New York city. Pretty nice if you think about it, my school didn't have anything like that. Anyway, Jason gets on board after killing a couple of teenagers making love in their little boat. Jason even gets a new mask out of the deal. It's a good lesson to remember for all you boys who like to scare your girlfriends with hockey masks and fake knives. The girls in this movie are hot, some of the best yet. No you don't get the twins from part 4, or the super large breasted girl from part 5, but this flick has some real eye candy. I mean c'mon we all go to see Friday the 13th for two reasons, Jason on a killing spree, and hot chicks. There's a girl in this movie for every taste. The first girl killed is on the small boat with her boyfriend. What a cutie she is, she attempts to hide in a trap door up on deck but to no avail. She gets a slow spear through the guts. Then you got the Joan Jett wannabe. She's dressed in black leather and plays a purple Flying V Gibson. It's Jason's first and so far only kill with a musical instrument. Or you can check out the stuck blond with the cocaine habit. She may fail biology, but she does know how to label her parts. Or the cute Asian girl who shares a dance floor with Jason, disco ball and all. Oh the kills in this movie are delicious. Who can forget Julius' boxing match with Jason up on the roof? And who didn't cheer when Jason finally drowned the arrogant teacher in a barrel of toxic waste? Now that's good cinema. I love Jason's public service message about noise pollution too. It always cracks me up when he lifts his mask after kicking the punk rocker's boombox. The heroine here is a cute redhead who is a writer of sorts. She even received a pen from her teacher that used to belong to Stephen King. Anywho, her and her love interest try to lose Jason in the streets of Manhattan, only to finally have a show down in the sewer with a toxic waste flood. Jason loses his mask when he himself gets a bucket of toxic waste thrown in his face (do we see a trend here? It seems toxic waste is everywhere in New York City, on the street, in the sewer, it's everywhere!) I admit, to this day the ending makes no sense to me. Jason is drowned in in the sewer and resumes the form of the little boy he was when he drowned. Can toxic waste do that? I figured being drowned in the green radioactive slime would only make him stronger. Look what happened to Melvin in the Toxic Avenger! Anyway, in my book there is no bad Jason film, sure are better than others, but a film starring everyone's favorite Crystal Lake resident, you can't go wrong.
