I was making a joke when i asked if Kane had ever commented on not getting the FvJ gig.... The guy is way to sour over it and he mentions it at every convention or appearance he makes (even on one of the new F13th Blurays). I understand he liked playing the role and it's his claim to fame, but to be honnest I never thought he was the best Jason. Personally I would vote CJ Graham who played the character in part 6 as the Jason I like the best. To me Hodder's only appeal is that he played the character more then anyone else providing some character continuity. However, Part7 is the only one I would consider to be good, Manhatten and jason X can be fun guilty pleasures and Jason goes to Hell is just down right the worst Jason movie ever made

Yeah it would have been nice to see him return for FvJ, but I understand the reasonings for going with the taller Ken Kirzinger (although Kane has some conspiracy that it wasn't hieght but it had to do with the movie shooting in canada and Kirzinger being a canadian citizen ). But overall I like FvJ's slower moving Jason and going up against Freddy, even an extra 2 inches in height really made jason tower on screen, which is what producers wanted.

I enjoy Hodder's performances but I don't think he was either the best or that he deserved the FvJ role simply because he had played the character for so long. Ronny Yu had his vision of the character and the film was somewhat of a jump start for both series, so a new look was to be expected

And yes Hatchet is a pretty cool movie
