Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan(1989) RANT 2/3

Part two of my rant on the piss poor awful slasher sequel, Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan(1989) starring Jensen Daggett, Scott Reeves, Barbara Bingham, Peter Mark Richman, Martin Cummins, Gordon Currie, Alex Diakun, Vincent Craig Dupree, Kelly Hu, Kane Hodder, Todd Shaffer, Sharlene Martin,Tiffany Paulsen, and Tim Mirkovich.

Directed by Rob Hedden.

Trivia

Vincent Craig Dupree actually cut his hand in the phone booth when Jason shatters the glass around him.

The dog Toby is named after a dog the director once had.

The movie was falsely titled "Ashes to Ashes" while filming in New York City to avoid fan interruptions. This fake title was also used in the script to prevent auditioning actors from knowing and revealing what film they were making. In the fake-titled script, Jason was renamed Ethan.

The subway car chase wasn't inside an official NYC subway. Only the exterior shots were real.

In the scene in the subway when Jason is chasing Rennie and Sean, Sean pulls the emergency brake to knock Jason back. On the poster to right of Sean, sprawled in graffiti are the words Jason Lives

On the DVD audio commentary the director said that the original version was over two hours long and he cut the following scenes for time *Several scenes with Miles, who is shown to have been an Olympic diver *A scene at the beginning where Sean hears that Rennie will not be on board and is disappointed *Several additional scenes with Tamara and Eva were cut *Before Rennie gets pushed into the water there was a longer conversation between her and Colleen *A scene of Eva meeting with the group on the bridge and then leaving to find Tamara *A shot of Rennie touching Jason after he is electrocuted on the railroad tracks

The film made $19,343,976 with a budget of $5,000,000

Fred Mollin wrote the original music for this film, as he did for Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.

At 11:17 actually it was the sewer worker who got killed by the wrench and had the blood splatter, the boyfriend just got pushed into the wall and knocked out.

Very funny rant so far Mike. I can safely say your review is better than the movie lol.
