Possible Trivia Section edit[edit]

I was reading through the trivia section when I came upon this entry - "To date, this is the only film in which Jason removes his mask intentionally, first to scare a street gang, the second after he has been burned with toxic waste." - I believe this to be false as I had just finished watching the 1st 4 friday the 13ths and there is a scene in Part 3 featuring Jason being hung outside a barn and in the midst of his attempt to get down, his exposes his face to the would be victim before slipping the mask back on and dropping to the floor. Does anybody else agree that this entry should be either editied or withdrawn? - RVDDP2501 (talk) 00:55, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Undead or resurrected not both[edit]

I just have a problem with the phrase, 'Undead serial killer is resurrected' because if he is undead then he does not need to be resurrected. Maybe it should state 'serial killer resurrected' or 'undead serial killer returns' the use of both terms just seems a double negative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MedicPCP (talk • contribs) 20:22, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just because he's undead doesn't mean he can't be brought back "to life", as in movement. Jason wasn't necessarily killed at the end of Part VII, just temporarily stopped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.43.109 (talk) 21:30, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Class problems[edit]

There was something about a large number of students drowning/dying at once...I think. Very confusing. Is this a big part of the film? Was it a large graduating class on the boat? Small? Anywho, I think the plot should be rewritten from top to bottom by an expert. Lots42 (talk) 15:01, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Still think the rewrite option is needed... Lots42 (talk) 17:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Development
"Okay, we'll make Vancouver look like New York and we'll do it that way. But they came back again with, 'You can't do the Brooklyn Bridge in Vancouver. You can't do Madison Square Garden in Vancouver. You can't do the Statue of Liberty in Vancouver.' Pretty soon it was half New York, half on the boat. Then it was the last third in New York. It just kept getting whittled down and down."

Missing Information and Expansion[edit]

There is no information on the film's production in this article. Information on the film's production should be added in its own section in order to completely cover its subject. Also there should be more information on the film's reception added to the article as well with reviews from notable critics added to the article's reception section.--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:41, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
