I've only ever seen the first one (didn't like it) and Jason X (loved it) and recently been interested in watching the others and tried Part III. I thought it was boring. What are the essential Jason kinos?

I've only ever seen the first one (didn't like it) and Jason X (loved it) and recently been interested in watching the others and tried Part III. I thought it was boring. What are the essential Jason kinos?
>first one (didn't like it) and Jason X (loved it)
ur dumb. the best ones are 1, 2, 4, and 6. but if you like x, you might like the moronic ones like Jason goes to hell or the one with the psychic chick
I did see portions of Jason takes Manhattan on TV and thought it was pretty fun, so yeah, maybe moronic is the way to go.
that one's actually kinda boring. it has a couple good scenes, but because of budget issues hardly any of the movie is actually in nyc. let me amend my answer a bit. definitely watch 6. it's moronic, but in a good way. it's my favourite.
nah you're right. i like all of them to be fair. jason goes to hell is my least favourite because it dials the moronation up to 11
The one with the psychic girl is honestly pretty entertaining.
VII with the psychic chick is solid and has some of the best deaths in it
They had to edit alot of the kills to get released which sucks though
Yeah it also had the best Jason imo
wow basic b***h taste how interesting and patrician
wow you're so cool contrarian-san. you're right, 5, 8 and 9 are really the best!!
best answer itt
those 3 are all shit moron
tv is nothing but bait opinions these days, its awful
Jason looks so fricking sick in the one with the psychic girl.
If this scene would have been earlier in the movie and they still kept the ending scare, it would have been a 1000% times scarier.
If you like Jason then watch 2, 3, 4, and 6.
that's for normies and chad. This guy is obviously Jason type moronic.
Part 3 is dope lol it's got that groovy main theme and the kills are pretty good.
Been watching all of them in a row.
The opening music made me smile but each kill scene is long and drawn out to try to be suspenseful and the first half is a snore.
>each kill scene is long and drawn out to try to be suspenseful
Slasher movies just aren't for you then and especially Friday the 13th.
It's okay if it's done well.
3 it was just one long scene after another and it wasn't exciting until it was just the final two characters.
>when the zoomer finds Part III
frfr intro be slappin n bussin bro no cap deadass slapped
Does anyone else wish Jason would frick them to death with his big moronic lakewater wiener
could you stop being israeli

omg he broke the 4th wall so epic!! Jason Bond LOL!
what?
it has comfy moments scattered throughout. A few good kills and I like the parallels to part 1.
Great kills and deaths, comfy setting, iconic performances from Crispin Glover and Corey Feldman, nice conclusion to the original quadrilogy.
What about the Platinum Dunes one?
That part was good but it ends abruptly. My friend had always told me about how terrifying that part was but he described it differently than it actually happened.
not canon
nope
Friday The 13th (1980) is the best film in the series. It has nothing or little to do with the slasher phenomenon it slowly became and isn't much different from a Hitchwiener film other than budget and some cinematography choices. I would strongly suggest that the first film IS a film while all the other movies in the series are exploitation and commercial entertainment with zero or insignificant artistic merit.
GIVEN THAT, the rest of the series is it's own thing and entertaining on a separate level which can be ranked easier for that purpose (breasts, gore, comedy, gimmicks, body count, clever kills, etc.) But that ranking would be subjective on the viewer who likes either the mythological and surreal tone or who has the brain of 10 year old boy and wants to giggle at boobies and awe at corn syrup blood splattered everywhere.
Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) for example is a tonal shift into what became slashers, imitating other contemporary franchises that were also exploring a brand new genre/phenomenon. It was also more focused on the lore and had more direct Hitchwiener references tying it to older thriller cinema. The film is also an homage both to campfire stories and Hitchwiener instead of direct artless imitation and lazy 'deconstruction'.
Friday the 13th Part III (1982) more or less ignores the preestablished elements (Camp Crystal Lake doesn't even feature) and turns into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which is fine given that that particular franchise sort of died off completely. There are some minor Hitchwiener elements, but they're not good: simply some POV weird Vertigo style shots and scenes that don't make much sense at the end. The cherry on top is the 3d bullshit, which is obnoxious and constant yet Part III also has some of the most endearing and interesting characters.
Now the oscillation occurs where you can never tell if a Friday movie is going to be mysterious and surreal or mindless goof.
>breasts, gore
Do they ever show any snatch in any of the F13 movies?
Is this a top tier troll or a 13 year old thinking he's much smarter than he actually is?
Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) tries to return to the lore, mystery, mythology, and strange fatalism throughout the earlier films. There are oddly less elements of Hitchwiener, more 'borrowing' from Halloween (instead of Camp Crystal Lake, Jason stalks the suburbs and invades people's homes) and the movie tends to get bored with itself as well as starting to self-censor, instead of breasts you get vintage porn, instead of shock and awe at gore it's quick cut away, and so on. Despite all this while it's simple and short there IS a story that makes a kind of sense even if it poorly imitates the ending of Part 2 with little nuance or believability. I find it odd that the filmmakers thought they could 'end' the series. Did they ever talk to an executive about it? Obviously at the time ending the series would have been impossible, they made too much money on zero budget. But sort of like 'the death of superman' it was most likely a marketing gimmick over anything else.
From this point on the Friday movies are entertainment schlock and no longer oscillate between silly exploitation and mystery/surrealism. They imitate the Nightmare movies to the point of having crossovers and allusions and stop all forms of connection to Hitchwiener.
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985) is comedy horror exploitation of no merit or noteworthiness relying mostly on bathroom jokes and cartoon characters that don't resemble human beings in any capacity.
Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) The return of Tommy Jarvis and his Dr. Frankenstein experiments to resurrect his nemesis so he an kill him again ala Simon Belmont. I forget what else happened.
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) Jason fights Carrie. Pretty cool.
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) Jason on a boat, a few shots of him not standing out much in NY times square, rest of the film is in a sewer.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) This is an odd spinoff series for a brand new awesome bounty hunter known as Creighton Duke! Nothing makes sense, all previous lore is thrown away, Jason is a worm monster now, but don't worry Creighton Duke will save the day! Yay Creighton Duke!
Jason X (2002) it's Jason in space! It sucks.
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) is a cameo appearance of Jason in yet another Nightmare on Elm Street movie.
Then there was a reboot no one cared about. Now if you were to rank all these, again, what context are we using? There are three distinct eras (maybe four) with three distinct purposes (a mystery thriller homage to Hitchwiener, low budget films exploring a new horror genre that plays with teen exploitation, and mindless schlock) that we lump together because we mindlessly accept they are connected films because it's easier to market them that way. It's clear they never actually made a sequel to the first film (not that you would want to, good artistic films should stand on their own) and that they either got lost, got bored, or were pressured by markets to abandon the new genre the next few films explored that were somehow between art and exploitation. Iconography, abusing viewers who want to see what happens next without giving them anything, constantly promising ends that never happen, and pure false advertising (Manhattan). If I were to actually rank them it would have to be:
1 then 2, 4, then 3, then MAYBE 6, then the rest are thrown in the trash and should be considered unrelated bullshit. Like anything after Hellraiser 2.
Nice video essay trying to intellectualize 80s shlock, homosexual.
I thought 3 was one of the better ones. Great kills and probably the scariest moment of the entire series.
Yes, it is kind of unnerving when he moves quickly.
I like how Part 3 shows glimpses of Jason stalking around the camp, even setting up how he'll ambush people
was it a camp? Looked more just like a cabin in the middle of no where, near a pond.
Jason has a supernatural ability to turn any rural location into a summer camp. Very spooky
le irony and tongue-in-cheek is very popular in this post-modern era
Camp or not it has that comfy Friday the 13th feel, the holiday home they were at had that cosy log cabin aesthetic. The series abandoned the atmosphere the first three had for bland suburban looking houses immediately with Part 4. Sad!
6 was at a camp.
Yes but the camp was actually up and running throughout 6 so you had a bunch of screaming children running around the place = not comfy. Nothing but other adult camp counsellors chilling out and few in number for you to get comfy alone time in the isolated wooden cabins = comfy. Also Part 6 is soulless anyway.
>trying to play dumb
You aren't fooling anyone. 4 is overrated. Also
>Jason wears a fricking sack on his head.
Aside from Part 3 Jason that was his best look. Top cringe.
No seriously who are Ginnie and Paul? I'm not looking it up I have better things to do right now.
The fact you're trying so hard to play dumb to discredit Part 2 shows how top tier Part 2 actually is. You know in your heart that Part 4 is overrated trash. I accept your defeat.
Describe them for me.
4 and 6 are the best
5 is part of that "trilogy"
8 9 10 are schlock kino (10 is self aware though)
7 is so-so, it wanted to be epic but it kind of failed and its gore was the most gimped of the series. 3 and 9 are both terrible, 3 is genuinely unwatchable. 2 is coomer kino with the short shorts girl and it's a so-so slasher.
4 is the quintessential 80s slasher and it's also pretty good at what it does.
6 is genuinely funny most of the time, though it lacks some bite it's a great watch.
>3 is genuinely unwatchable
why
>3 is genuinely unwatchable.
Good, so it's not just me, then.
He's just pretending to agree with you because he wants to encourage you to watch the rest of the series.3 is often considered to the best of the series, you just have shit taste.
4, 6 and 7 are usually considered the best though I thought 3 was still good. The only really terrible ones are 8 and 9. 5 was stupid but it had some redeeming qualities.
>7
>considered the best
7 got gimped by the censors and still kicks major ass
I mean, sure. The sick moronic morons who think the kills are the most important part, might believe that while ignoring the story, characters, and dialog. Sure.
>kills in a slasher movie
>not the most important part
>while ignoring the story, characters, and dialog.
The literal worst parts of Part 7? The characters are genuinely the worst cast in the entire series.
The diner employee that gets

>indisputably the worst kills in the entire series (thanks to the MPAA I know)
>boring homosexual setting of some shit generic suburban looking house in the woods
>most forgettable cast of characters in the entire series
Literally the ONLY thing defenders of this shitfest can bring up is "but muh sleeping bag kill", "but muh kane hodder" and completely ignore how the rest of the movie is an absolute slog.
>indisputably the worst kills in the entire series (thanks to the MPAA I know)
name 1 kill in Goes to Hell
The diner employee that gets her entire fricking jaw caved in from one blow and the girl riding the guy in the tent who gets split in half vertically from the stomach. Part 9 had some stellar kills and effects.
It btfos Halloween later on so hard it's frankly amazing
You should watch them all, just to say you have.
Why do people like 4 so much I don't get what it does differently that sets it apart from the others?
It had two somewhat likeable characters besides Jason.
It's just the best at that type of movie. Why does it have to be 'different?' Subversion for its own sake is one of the reasons culture is failing
Part 3 did everything 4 did and better
F13 morons just follow what everyone else parrots and cant think or themselves. Once upon a time one subhuman said Part 4 is the best, so the others started parroting that and the rest is history.
No one has ever ranked 4 above 2. No one. Lurk more.
Nobody except just about everyone.
No one except morons.
So everyone is moronic except you? Maybe you're the actual moron...
You're overstating how many people rank 4 above 2. Two is considered the pre-eminent, traditional, stable slasher film of the era. Four is good and ties up the series nicely, but is not better than 2.
Times have changed, indeed. Two is better than four. End of story.
Hardly anyone gives a shit about 2. No memorable kills and no memorable characters either. Jason wears a fricking sack on his head. Awful.
2 is kino
>no memorable characters either
Wheelchair Mark and cripple fetishist Vickie were kino. Ginnie and Paul too. People only remember Crispin Glover and Tommy Jarvis from 4.
>Ginnie and Paul too
Who? I really only recall the wheelchair guy now that you mentioned him.
shit take.
>machete to the face
>speer bed double kill
>upside down backwards machete throat slash
Ginnie is the greatest sole survivor of the series, noob.
When there were only four or five movies, everyone ranked 4 number best. Times have changed.
FvJ > 4 > 2 > X > 3 > 7 > 2009 >> 6 >> 8 > 5 > 1 >>> GTH
Is 6 being good a new meme being pushed by zoomer morons?
Zoomers haven't even heard of this series let alone watched it. They're too busy getting scared by empty rooms and VHS videos.
Jason X was fricking based because I just like seeing Jason winning, and he won in that to a moronic degree.
I don't know why 8 is so underrated? Sure the title was false advertising, but I thought everyone loves boat kino here?
It's a bad movie of course but it's silly and whacky enough to be entertaining. Would rather watch this than Parts 6 or 7.
Jason teleporting is so fricking moronic
Are you talking about the toxic waste scene in the New York sewer at the end?
No I'm talking about how Jason can magically teleport to different locations and does it multiple times on the boat then stops doing it for no reason once they get to NY
I think the only blatant time he teleports is right before he drowns the professor in the barrel of sweage. The professor is running from one end of an alleyway that Jason is at and runs into a buildings at the opposite end of this straight alleyway. As soon as he runs into this building he gets launched throw the second story window by Jason who was somehow inside, despite clearly being at the opposite end of the alleyway seconds ago the professor ran away from. The scene legitimately feels like a parody and I've always wondered what the frick they were thinking here.
The scene where he kills the asian girl on the dance floor shows him teleporting several times in quick succession
I think that was just trying to depict her being disorientated by the disco lights.
brother he teleports in the movie and it's stupid as frick. simple as
I already pointed out when he ACTUALLY teleports. Your "example" was just bizarre editing.
exactly, he teleports. Jason teleporting is moronic. glad we agree
You're an autist incapable of following basic conversation.
i followed it fine and tried twice to end it because you're an annoying pedant
>called out for being a moron who didn't properly interpret basic sentences
>y-y-you're being a-annoying
Okay autist.
thought you were talking about this scene
even I as a kid thought it was the worst lol
yest the teleporting is the main reason holy shti
Speaking of Part III. What the hell did Jason chop when he attacked the knocked out black biker the first time? He comes back in the end, fully in tack to save Chrissy.
i always hated that bit. so cheap and they could have just had Chris get the upper hand some other way. Jason hacking at the dead guy like ten times is funny though
can't even imagine being a joyless homosexual who doesn't like Freddy vs Jason
My favorites in order are 4, 6, 7, and 5.
The only Friday movies I don't like are X and the remake. Every other one is fine.
Still don't understand how anyone defends 5.
>but muh breasts
>muh nudity
honestly, pretty gay and non canon
It's time...
Parts 2-4 are the Golden Age
Parts 1-8 are all solid and fun
Anybody have the Blu-ray set? It looks sweet.
