perfect final scene to leave it on good sir! thats the one thing that always stuck with me from this movie lol
I always defended Jason X for being an alright sort of ending to the series. Oh yes, the remake train rolls through Slasher Town on a regular basis, and most of them give a big middle finger to the ongoing plots (what there is of it) of these series that have been going on for decades.
Halloween gets special mention for that because H2O would have been an alright sort of ending, but Resurrection is not. Just can't win. Hellraiser at least had the decency to film the ending years before the series actually ended. It was in space too oddly.
But Jason X was a great ending. Jason was killed in the most awesome way possible, and may or may not live to continue his killing spree on a new world, The End. It was perfect.
I can only hope the new Childs Play movie wraps up the story before Remake time flushes the old continuity.

I always remember that liquid nitrogen face smash as somewhat amusing in that Sub-Zero fatality kind of way.
Oh, Jason X, you magnificent bastard. You can't really hate this movie, if you look at it as a comedy. Half the time it doesn't even try to explain things. Like how Jason does manage to get anywhere without everyone knowing? He just does.
Kinda spoilerish, but nothing that will ruin the plot of the movie. Just about the scene with the two sleeping bags.kailus13 said:
The scene with him beating up one girl in a sleeping bag with another girl in a sleeping bag is probably the best scene in that movie. It's hilarious. In order to distract him, they create a hologram of two dumb girls who want to smoke pot and have premarital sex. Cut to the scene in question, which is followed up by someone commenting on how fast he killed the two girls and stating that "he is good."
I remember seeing this and thinking very little of it, until near the end with the virtual cheerleader girls in the sleeping bags. That was so over the top and stupid I laughed so hard and finally understood what i was watching, it was never meant to be taken seriously.
Am I the only person in the world who finds Jim Sterling infinitely more tolerable when I don't have to see him on my screen?
No, seriously, I actually agree with the majority of his comments and sentiments. I like his thought-processes. However, as much as I like his reviews and Movie Defense Force, I find it almost impossible to watch Jimquisition.
It's almost painful.

This movie was probably one of the best Jason movies in the franchise. Personally, I thought Melyssa Ade, as Janessa, had some of the best lines in the movie.
One of the most amusing easter eggs that I saw in the film is that, during the scene where the soldiers are hunting Jason throughout the ship, I recognized one of the guns they were using as a Nerf gun that they have painted over. Then again, given how well the soldiers did, they might as well have been using Nerf.

Well the thing is that Jason X had a number of surprisingly good people in it who wound up going places, typically series where their ability to camp it up was an advantage. The "fuckdoll" as you put it was none other than Lisa Ryder who want on to do Andromeda as Beka Valentine (pretty much Han Solo as a girl), the "other" girl in this was none other than Lexa Doig who also went onto Andromeda. Their roles in Andromeda were reversed though where Lisa played the "bad girl" and Lexa was playing the sexy robot... and they helped carry that show for 5 years. Peter Mensah later on went to do "Spartacus" and he does tend to know how to steal a scene. albeit if I remember he had pretensions of being a "serious actor" and while he did okay, to be honest if it wasn't for Spartacus I'd probably be sitting here going "who?"... going back to the campy stuff was probably a good move.chiggerwood said:
Jason X is an absolute blast and I fucking love the film. It's so stupid and fun and silly... I can't hate this film at all. It truly is not bad, it's not poorly paced, it's not TERRIBLY acted, it's got some seriously cool over the top violence and sheer absurdity that it seems to be enthusiastic about.
The movie seems to be having fun so I have fun watching it.

There are actually people who don't love this film? I am shocked.
C'mon, man, if you don't laugh until your head falls off at the "happy campers" scene, I don't know what species you are. Not human, that's for certain.

Thank you for ending with one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen in a movie. Jason killing holodeck women with the sleeping bags has to be his best kill.
