Scene of the Week: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday – Ambushed!
You already know that it wasn’t the “final Friday” film and that even though this scene has a very climactic look to it, there is no chance the supernatural psychopath Jason Voorhees is gonna stay down from a few bullets and explosives!
As much as I hate this entry in the Friday the 13th series, it does have a few really good scenes and an idea or two that works. This opening scene is fantastic! If it had started a bit earlier, you would have seen the undercover agent in the shower which is normally a guaranteed death scene in a film like this. This film, however, takes it time with Jason’s first appearance. It plays up all of the tropes that the franchise had created over the previous decade and then tosses them all out the window.
For years, I always said that if Jason were chasing me I would just go into a giant empty field and just keep him at a distance. Well…this bit below goes a slightly different route and that’s why it’s the Scene of the Week!
