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.

Good call man! Parts 2 & 6 are right at the top for me to right along with 3 & 4 as well!! But like I said if I had to choose a single Jason in one movie its definitely part 6!! He came back from that electricity monsterous!! Cant wait for all of these to be on blu! Got Em!!

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

I actually work for Kane and there is a lot to the story of FvJ. Most of the bitterness came about as a result of using his name being attached (which it was for quite a while) to the project to raise funding. That's also the main reason he's hesitant to sign LOI's anymore. The Kirzinger issue goes deeper than FvJ, but it's not my place to drudge that up.
He'd love to play Jason again, but he knows that window is closed. He's looking forward to doing more things out of make-up like BTK.

On topic though, I'm looking forward to picking this title up. I thought the Platinum Series SD New Line put out was really well done. I can't wait to hear the sound mix on Blu.

He is referring to the original Friday the 13th movies. Not FvJ.

Sorry, my bad, should have read more before posting.

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..

That was part five. He was funny. Shame to die in an outhouse.

I will buy Freddy Vs. Jason this Tuesday... I also want the US copy of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street and Part III The Dream Warriors...

Is there a release date in the US for those two?

It is a fun movie, I saw it in the theaters once and a cut version on TBS or TNT a few months back.

You can probably expect at least the first one around April 2010, alongside the theatrical release of the re-make. I doubt that the sequels will be released individually, so if there isn't a boxed set, I wouldn't get my hopes up for any of the sequels.

There is a nice boxed set of the DVDs for 35 on Amazon, if you are still open to watching those. They don't look terribly bad, and 7 movies and interesting bonus features for 35 isn't too bad. There are also 2 sets that have 4 movies each (second set includes FVJ), but I'd worry about the PQ on those, considering it looks like 2-4 movies on a disc.

Err if anything getting all the movies in a boxset on Blu-ray is more unlikely than getting them individually. Look at the Friday the 13th movies for example. The first three are on Blu-ray as individual releases. Hell, you could even use the Bond movies as an example.

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

Well, this is a New Line Release and some New Line releases have been coded. And none of the sites that list region free titles has it in their listing yet. I don't know why. All other titles that are released tomorrow are on one of those lists. I for one will rather wait a day and then order it.. Better to be save than sorry

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

So if anyone got it yet, can you tell me if it's regionfree?=
