Ah, film execs, you have to be careful with them! Jason seems to handle these situations a bit better than Michael, though Mr. Voorhees certainly has also managed to get himself in trouble in the past. I remember being psyched at the beginning of Jason IX when the good guys laid a trap for Jay and took him down in a hail of righteous gunfire. I always thought they should do that!* But then when Mr. Voorhees stopped being a retarded zombie and started being a demonic tequila worm all my hopes for the film were shat upon. *sigh* At least it didn’t turn out that all this time Jason was wearing a Silver Shamrock mask…
*I remember spending an inordinate amount of time as a kid dreaming up ways to take out Jason for good. I believe I settled on cutting him up into like a hundred pieces, putting the pieces in seperate safes and burying the safes all around the world. I reckoned that should do it.
