Trivia

Director John Carl Buechler stated that he clashed with associate producer Barbara Sachs continuously over many ideas that he had for the film. This included showing Jason unmasked for a quite a bit of the movie. She vetoed the idea, but he ended up going behind her back and filming it anyway. He also stated that the final sequence of Tina's father coming out of the water was to be more elaborate and feature full prosthetics and a life size dummy. That sequence was completely over ruled and he ended up filming what he considers an inferior version of the sequence. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: Robin's position changes when she is thrown out of the window. Additionally, the window's glass surrounds Robin as she is thrown out, yet no glass lands around her. See more »
