Things that don't make sense in the movies

Tommy's apparent age makes no sense no matter what you do to try and fit things together. The actor in Part V is in his mid-twenties and looks it, but has to be 17 at the oldest in the film to be at a halfway house for minors (we won't even talk about how old that guy that chops up Joey looks).

Then Thom Mathews in Part VI is almost 30, but if you make Tommy that age Part VI has to take place in, like, 2000-something.

 

Yeah the filmmakers didn't care about any of that. Tommy in Part VI had escaped the institution to burn Jason based on what Hawes says, I think.

I remember too Hollywood tends to have teenagers played by people who are in their 20's and 30s (some 30 somethings do look like teens with the proper makeup).

So yeah, this came to mind recently about Part 5. We know Joey is Roy's son and he gets hacked by the older man whom he annoyed. Why didn't Roy try to sneak in to jail and kill him? Roy just seemed to kill anyone who was there when his son got killed but never his killer.

He should have enlisted Jason himself to do the Job.

The obvious answer is that Part V is just plain not executed well, but in-universe I guess it's just that Roy went so cuckoo for coco puffs that he didn't care who he killed.

[DamonD7 1,359]

I believe they also meant to leave it so that Victor (the guy that killed Joey) could be one of the possible suspects as the guy under the mask.

Since it wasn't him but Roy, yeah, it makes it look very weird that he never even tries to go after Victor. Victor gets taken away by the cops after the murder, never to be seen again in the film.

Slasher mystery? We were all playing Poirot trying to figure out Jason is. I

This is basically the original Scream plot.

[Beetlejuice91 24]

Here's a little something that doesn't make sense:

Since Part 6, Jason came back as a rotted corpse and Part 7 showed the signs of decay like flesh and bone. He seems to have regenerated flesh in some time since part 7. Wouldn't people have noticed a rancid smell and seeing a corpse walking around killing people? Or does one of Jason's supernatural abilities involve having a scent-free smell? Part 7 Jason unmasked looks like he could pass for some super walker from the Walking Dead.

[RAGNAR0K N ROLL 107]

I never understood how he went from melted snowman at the end of VIII to the swollen meatball looking thing in JGTH (which I personally feel is the worst looking Jason of them all) I guess the regeneration thing explains some of that but I never really did figure out why he visually changed so much from VI onward. He must have went to Goodwill between JGTH and FvJ since he has that dapper jacket, new mask and snazzy platform shoes. The stretch from VI to VII make more sense because of the propeller being damaged but by the time if VIII he has no exposed jaw or bone (which I still fail to see how he functioned that well with exposed joints and hand bones all over the place)  I guess suspension of disbelief is a component but Freddy maintains almost the exact same look for all 6 of the regular NOES series.

[DamonD7 1,359]

The fan theory for VIII - JGTH is that Rennie was having one last hallucination at the end of the film by seeing Jason crumble away and turn into his kid version, whereas he was actually swept out to sea by the sludge wave. He's up and about by the time of JGTH but, despite some regeneration, the toxic damage has caused his skin (head particularly) to swell up and distort into misshapen lumps.

But there's no real good explanation for a lot of things, outside of "people didn't care enough about it", like Jason spontaneously changing his clothes whilst motionless underwater. Twice.

For number 2:  Jason preserves Pamela's head by showering it in kisses every night.  His saliva keeps the leather moist.

[Pazuzu 120]

The Friday the 13th Part 3 novelization from the 1980's explained that young Jason survived due to an "X-Men Wolverine" type healing factor. He DID drown, but his body repaired itself and he recovered. 

As for Pamela's head, I have no idea how long it takes for a human body to completely decompose, but it's 2 months between Pamela's death and the opening of part 2. Maybe he kept it on ice in between? (He did choose to hide it in the fridge of all places to "scare" Alice.) I think Jersey also has some wetlands so maybe it mummified like a "bog body?" After the opening credits of part 3 it's never seen in the films again, so maybe it fully rotted away afterwards. (Kind of a shame, Jason's weird altar was one of the creepiest moments in the series.)

Tell me why you can see the camera man in reflection of the the beetle when Chris and what's his face are about to drive off in pt 3.

[MovieWatcher101 35]

My question throughout all the time line is simple...where has Jason's sister been all that time?

I read some of the novelization back story involving how Jason's father was a hard, abusive man but it never explained what happened to him. The Pamela tapes suggested it was a short encounter. I wish there was more to that

[SonofOdin6039 88]

Another thing that's been nagging at me (sorry but this topic is perfect for voicing it), but in Part 3, Chris had an encounter with Jason about, what, a year or two before? Her flashback vision showed Jason as he currently appears, but the time line would suggest that Parts 2 and 3 were almost back to back. Or did some years pass after Part 2 before he came to Higgins Haven? And why didn't he kill Chris back then seeing as how he was hell.bent to finish the job in Part 3? And finally, when he lose his Wrong Turn hairdo?

It's a good question, plus since Jason never struck me as a guy who took regular baths or even bothered to wipe after nature calls, AND would have the scent of blood and guts in addition to his obvious BO, he must have a natural scent mask

Why they didn't use the nanomachines to bring back the dead in Jason X? It worked for Broski and Jason

When you think about it,  that would be Jason's ideal scenario. Kill someone, put them in the machine, fix them up, and kill them again. He'd have an endless cycle of killing

First off, I am sure we all have thought this, how did he drown a boy and grow to be a man?

His body washed up on shore around a more unknown location, Jason being a child and it being two decades since his so called drowning finally made his way and saw his mother death, he lived in the woods likely on carcasses and fruits and other such things.

[TheHansonGoons 1,233]

 

@Jason Todd Voorhees

Is that what happened? Where is it said that?

Watching Crystal Lake Memories, it doesnt seem like that is the case.

In june 13th 1979, a boy jumps out of the lake and pulls Alice in.

1984, a grown man kills her in her apartment. He washed ashore and grew up in 5 years?

He drowned in 1957, why was he a boy when he grabbed her in 79?

   That's just a plot hole due to them not expecting to be making a sequel when the first movie was made. It is kind of ambiguous as to whether or not it was a dream or not as well... The cops were there... but... "We didn't find any boy." But they did not think to look as they apparently did not see him either... and they were on the beach looking at her in the canoe. That, and they were just trying to get one last jump scare with Jason pulling Alice into the lake.
    Plot holes like that can suck you in... and I doubt they even considered the time and age gap. Jason needs to be big and scary... if they used a teenage sized Jason for Part II... it would not have come off in a way that was... scary.

    But what really doesn't make sense... In Part VI... where did Megan get the supplies that Tommy needed? They were already at Karloff's General Store when she picked him up in her car... and Tommy still needed supplies that apparently this general store did not have... Megan told him she would see to it that he gets what he needs... so where else did they go for these supplies?... Its not like they had a lot of time to spare.
