Even if it is, not much seems to have changed in that part of the Earth. Tommy finds himself in a rehabilitation centre which seems to be staffed by the same kind of people that were counselors at camp Crystal Lake. There is a new kid in the movie, Different Strokes' Dudley, Shavar Ross who manages to be likable despite being a brat.

Paramount produced this film, not New Line. I don't really know what you find so confusing about Tommy Jarvis in this one. It takes place a few years after the last film and Tommy has grown up and is now living in a group home for troubled teens.

I'd still rather watch Jason Takes Manhattan ahead of anything that comes after it.
