Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan

Bunch of goofy errors in this movie.

1) The people just seem to set themselves up to be killed. In the opening scene the high school couple leaves a harpoon gun in the next room. Why do they even have a harpoon gun and why would they leave it out on Jason's home turf? And then you have the boxer guy who tries to beat up Jason. I'm no Evander Holyfield, but it doesn't seem like he had the business to take out Jason.

2) Jason seems to get more jitsu as the movies go on. Why does he run sometimes and then walks slow the others? At the end of the movie he sprinted through the door and then proceeded to walk real slowly towards the 2 kids. It doesn't make much sense. Also his face gets transformed from spooky to looking like one of the monsters from The Goonies.

3) The whole water thing doesn't make sense either. In the other movies (this one included) they show Jason being afraid of the water. This movie ends because Jason gets scared of the water and drowns in it. But then riddle me this: how in the hell does he manage to swim from the sunken ship all the way to New York? It's like he goes from being someone who's afraid of the water to being an Olympic level swimmer.

4) Speaking of which, as a random aside, I don't understand how the girl who couldn't swim couldn't get out of the swim lessons. When I was little the water was always too cold and the swimming instructors would never let me get out of the pool so I just splashed kids till they got tired of it and made me get out. Dunno why she couldn't figure that out.

5) I don't get why there's always a random gardener/handyman who shows up in all the movies who warns of Jason. I don't get why the owners of the boat didn't just kick the guy off the boat for being all jitsu.

Had some good parts but drug on for way too long.
