Friday the 13th part 8: Jason Takes Mahatten
Drek, pure soupy drek.
Jason is resurrected by means of an exposed underwater power cable, and climbs aboard a graduation cruise ship....which is the scummiest cruise ship your likely to see.
He spends most of the movie offing people on the ship, odd considering he's supposed to be in Manhatten.
Not really odd when you consider Paramount pretty much slashed the budget of the film in half, after green lighting it. See F13 movies had been lossing money left and right, and they knew that they were either gonna onload the property, on someone else, or completely stop making flicks all together.
The result.....Jason Takes Manhatten gets one day to film in the big apple.
Meaning the majority of the flick is on the less expensive boat sets, or alley sets as opposed to the on location shoots.
None of that would have helped. This idea was a dead on turkey. I understand that the concept was to give fans something new, and fresh. Pulling Jason from his woods and dropping him in NYC was it, and that was effectively castrated.
Jason plods through charcter after character both on the boat, and in faux NYC.
The chase ends in the NYC sewars where Jason gets dowsed with toxic waste....apparently the makers of the film would like you to suspend belief completely at this point, and believe that NYC sewars are cleaned every midnight by flushing toxic waste through them.......and wait.......it turns Jason back into a boy!
BAD, BAD, BAD.
Nothing good to see here move along.
But if you ever have a chance to see the bonus disc of the F13 box DVD set view the preview of this flick.
NYC skyline.......Frank's 'New York, New York' starts playing.... we close in on the water front.... and see a lone figure.... his back towards the camera......he turns to reveal......JASON!
Funny as hell!
