Hope this plays near me. I'll check it out if so. I've only seen 2 of the Paramount 8 on the big screen. Flashback Cinema had a showing of the original last year, and I saw Jason Takes Manhattan during its theatrical run when I was 8 years old.

Hazel Motes · 08-17-2024, 07:56 AM

Must see for me. I’ve only seen the original and remake in theaters. And FvJ. Would love to see Jason Lives get the theatrical re release as it’s my favorite in the franchise.

Jason Takes Vancouver would be cool too as besides the time square bits, the whole thing filmed in my hometown.

Side note but if I could go back in time and change one movie it might be Jason Takes Manhattan. Jason running around dirty, scuzzy, neon drenched New York
(The ACTUAL New York) in the 80s would have been the greatest thing ever. Oh and for good measure I would have hired Abel Ferrara to direct.

^Takes Manhattan is definitely a missed opportunity, and it's sad when you learn that the director was originally given 4 days to shoot there and had some cool ideas he wanted to film...including one scene on the Brooklyn bridge.

They sliced the budget though and he only wound up with 1, hence the few scattered moments we do get.

My biggest problem with that movie though is the dumbass teleporting.

Don't forget it returns to theaters tomorrow.

steve_dave · 09-09-2024, 10:49 PM

It does not return to any theaters near me. So I guess, I’m spinning the Blu-ray next month.

Martoto · 09-10-2024, 07:37 AM

I can't remember which point they stopped releasing F13th sequels theatrically in the UK.

Halloween 4 and 5 went straight to video here. But that was a few years later. It's possible The Final Chapter got a release here at the time.

Guy87 · 09-10-2024, 09:43 AM

I'm sure this will get a re-release in the UK, and I'm sure it'll be about 2 weeks AFTER Friday the 13th

Nothing listed in the whole state (TN). Closest screening is in Missouri.

Blu-ray marathon at my house Friday.

My joint favourite of the series.

wonderer99 · 09-10-2024, 03:21 PM

Calling it the final chapter in 1984 seems a little premature

Just booked a couple of tickets to go with my brother for an eight o’clock screening. Citywalk/ Universal. Same place I saw the Terminator a few weeks ago, although a different auditorium.

Nah, it isn't like they made any other sequels afterwards.

BluPat · 09-10-2024, 07:57 PM

Of course the closest theater from me showing Friday the 13th is in Houston. I'm 1.5 hours away so I'm not going. I would love to but don't feel like driving that far.

The only showing here starts at my bedtime so I'm out

crutzulee · 09-10-2024, 09:02 PM

For me, the series truly does end with THE FINAL CHAPTER..

F13BluRay · 09-10-2024, 09:28 PM

Just grabbed 2 tickets for Friday Sept 13th !!

Can’t believe I’ll get to see The Final Chapter in theatres on a Friday the 13th. Pretty amazing

Also on a side note does anyone know what happened to Rikah88 ?
