Freddy vs. Jason Blu-ray

[Wdm81]

I can't wait to get this on Blu, i've seen the Alliance version on the shelf for months, but i refuse to buy any Alliance bluray

I thought FvJ was one of the better entries in both franchises, it was much better then the f13 remake from earlier this year (which i still liked), it's a shame we never saw a sequel, and probabaly never will see one since WB decided to reboot both franchises

I also thought just a straight up sequel would have been better, i think it fell into development hell after producers decided that another horror icon needed to be thrown in there and they ran into legal problems trying to secure the rights to Ash, Chuckie or Micheal Myers. If they had just done a FvJ2 it would have given us Englund in the Freddy role at least once more (sadly that will never be and he'll probabaly just be diminished to a cameo role as freddy's dad or abusive gym teacher or something "wink, wink, nudge. nudge" like that in the remake)

But i guess in terms of quality FvJ was a better final outing for Englund then we could have gotten, i wonder if Kane hodder is mad he never got to reprise the Jason role... He's stayed pretty quiet about his feelings on not being asked to come back haha

The picture quality on the blu ray is very good. I would give it a 8/10.

$11.49? Yes please! I love the new Warner Brothers and Lionsgate pricing strategies.

Yeah, I have a policy of waiting for domestic releases for domestic films. The only things I will import are foreign films not available in the US or films that the domestic release was defective in some way.

[djluis2k6]

Yeah I had already bought the Canadian release, but I'll be getting the US release.

[Stuart_Larkin]

for just under 12 dollars... Hell yes i'm going to buy this.
I personally really enjoyed this film. I think it was the best Friday the 13th since 6. new nightmare is better but hey it's the 3rd best Nightmare on elm street. It was actually a very entertaining film. I went and saw it in theaters happy that even if it was bad at least I got to see the two horror icons on the big screen.
yes it's a shame Kane Hodder didn't do Jason, but Ken Kirzinger was actually a great Jason too. There are a lot of nitpicks i can make about this film but ultimatly it turned out better then i think anyone expected.

From what a read all those years back in Fangoria Kane was pretty loud about not being cast in FvJ. Even though I would have liked to see him as Jason one last time his character from Hatchet was awesome. Go see it.

I bought the Canadian release for several months and PQ/AQ was really good, but there were zero special features. Not even the Ill Nino video. No menu screen either. I sold it on ebay and am buying this day one. Now if they would just get around to Jason X, and Jason Goes to Hell.

[blu_world]

i got the bare bones movie alone but i'm fine with it at the moment,older releases like this always have the features passed over from dvd in fuzzy 480p mpeg 2 format.

really??? Jason X.... you have got to be kidding.. that was the worst movie ive ever seen, the acting, the writing, the effects.. terrible terrible waste of money...

And i like the F13 series, but this movie is just embarrassing, the 2 minutes worth of kill scenes are the best thing in the movie.. and there still pale compared to some of the effects in the 90's//

Maybe you were stoned when you watched it

Wait you have seen Jason Goes to Hell? So much worse than Jason X, at least
J.X was a fun goofy ride.

well yea they were both bad.. something about the plot and story line took it to the next level... they were equally bad in every other aspect but at least Jason goes to hell was on earth, and didnt make you watch special effects worse than the original godzilla

I never saw the point in making this movie. Maybe to give someone a job?

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

[redtornado]

Kane is def. the best Jason, or at least the scariest. The Jason in FvJ looked like a towering oaf. Hated the outfit too. Where did he get the sword?

The Jason in part 4 was pretty kick ass too.

Holy sweet merceful crap yes...whats the hold up with getting more Jason on Blu, the DVD's are out, but all we have is up to part 3 on Blu... well and the new one but thats a different studio and not an overly great movie, lol

I do hope FvJ sells well because i'd love to see newline/WB put out special edition of JgtH and Jason X. Goes to hell i would probabaly only buy for completists sake (and once it was on sale or offered some amazing extras) but i'd like to own Jason X on blu as its at least a fun movie most of the time and it's has that scene where

[Show spoiler] he cryo-freezes the girl's head and then smashes it on the table which is an awesome kill

[benricci]

What's the hold up with parts 4-8 on blu-ray? The DVD special editions are already out....

Yea its hard to say who was the best Jason as u like u said Kane was the only one to play him multiple times! But I like the guy in part 2! Thats why I like the remake as well, because Jason was more aggressive in his pursuits! Dude in part 2 would run after u but then after that he got that smooth power walk! Haha!! But I do agree if I had to choose the best Jason in a single movie I would say Part 6 as well!! he came back from the grave like a beast!! Got Em!!

[Stuart_Larkin]

I thought Kane was indeed the best Jason but his movies were just simply the worst. But i thought the one in 6 and the one in Freddy vs. Jason were really great too.
My favorite of the Jason films is either between 2 and 6. But one thing i can say about 6 that I can't really say about 2, is I could re-watch 6 over and over and always be entertained.
