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]

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

MaCruz · 09-04-2009, 01:39 PM

Since 1, 2, and 3 came out this year, I'm sure the rest would follow up late this year or next year?

I wanna see the wannabe Michael Jackson get killed in the toilet. I think that was part 4 or 5. That was freakin funny as hell...

Ohhhh BABBYY!! LOL..

I would hope so, but they dragged the original DVD releases out over four years, which was an intolerably long time for fans...

Oh really? I never knew that. I hope this won't be the case for the BD versions.

Yep, Paramount released two F13 films per year on DVD over the course of 4 years (the original 8 in the series). It sucked big time waiting for the entire series to be complete...

LOL.. I remember getting all the Jason movies @ walmart $5 section last October. At that time I did not care about Blu-ray back then, and now I have been upgrading my Friday the 13th movies on BD.

BTW, when did New Line Cinema take over the Friday the 13th series? I know the franchise moved?

New Line got the rights to the series and characters back in 1990. Paramount still controls the first 8 films that they produced before the New Line acquisition.

Paramount also still owns the title "Friday the 13th" which is why New line's first three movies didn't contain those words in the titles (opting to instead market the frachise simply as "Jason": with Jason goes to hell, Jason X and Freddy vs. Jason)

Newline's (now WB) latest film in 2009 was finally able to be called "Friday the 13th" due to Paramount being a co producer and being given international distribution rights if i'm not mistaken

I'm glad the studio's finally decided to work together, i missed the words "Friday the 13th" in the titles since the 80's ended

With Paramount showing in the past how they love to time releases to coincide with a similar release i'm surprised they didn't use FvJ bluray release to put out another 2 F13th films

I know FvJ is a different studio but it's all one franchise and studios do that all the time when it comes to catelog titles (they even did it a few months back when the F13th remake came to bluray from WB)

It looks now though that we won't see anymore untill 2010...apparantley they have decided to take a page out of MGM and 007's book

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

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 · 09-04-2009, 11:58 PM

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.

Stephan.klose · 09-05-2009, 09:13 PM

I already pre-order FVJ but then I cancelled since nobody knows if that release is gonna be region free.. So I guess I'll have to wait another couple of days before I know that. But recently all New Line Releases have been Region Code Free.. but still ..

Warner has always been region free. I'm sure this will be no different.

Might pick this one up, will be a blind buy.

Prof. Utonium · 09-06-2009, 12:11 AM

Saw this one in the theater, bought the DVD but never even took the shrink wrap off. Though, if it hits around $10 in a store soon, I'd be awfully tempted to buy it
