Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Logic:
    • In Part IV, Trish tries to escape from a house, but finds several of her friends' bodies nailed across the doorways. Cue screaming. However, one has to imagine the scene of Jason taking the time to find a hammer and nails and propping them up just for the pure sake of freaking out someone he was just going to kill anyway.
    • There's also Ralph hiding in the pantry in the original film; you have to wonder how long he was in there before Alice found him.
    • In Part VIII, apparently Rennie had been dragged down by Kid Jason, leading to her hydrophobia. It couldn't have taken place any later than perhaps late 70s or early 80s. With that said, Jason himself "drowned" in '57, leading to his mother's own rampage the next year and in '80. So either Jason got split into the lake dwelling Kid Jason and his adult version we all know and love, or Rennie's near drowning was so traumatic that she justified it by imagining it was Jason who had nearly drowned her. Also, Kid Jason has hair, though that may be more of They Just Didn't Care.
    • Jason X. Jason is wanted for his "regenerative properties" - but they already have nanotechnology that can heal anyone instantly of any wound. Even Jason himself. Guh?
      • He was wanted for his regenerative properties by people in the 2011 not by the in 2455.
      • Replicating his instantaneous healing factor could still be useful, since you wouldn't always have access to the nanotechnology.
      • And of course, the starship explosion. To elaborate, the remaining crew decide to explode the walkways leading to the section where Jason is, so he will be forever floating in the vacuum of space. So they do. And it works...mostly. Jason is now apparently Made of Indestructium due to the nanobots...and can also move freely around space, because he literally comes right back about a minute later, punches a hole in the spaceship hull and causes Jenessa's Explosive Decompression.
    • In A New Beginning a mental patient murders another mental patient with an axe. This is exactly the reason mental patients aren't given axes in Real Life.
  • Horror:
    • In Part I we see two counselors having sex in one of the cabins. Afterwards, we see the guy laying down, and an arrow is pushed through his neck from under the bed. OK, but then you realize, that means the killer was under the bed the entire time they were having sex! Eeeeeew.
  • Brilliance:
    • Why doesn't Jason try to kill children in the later sequels? Because last time he tried it, he died for real.
