Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFriday the 13th producer Frank Mancuso Jr. didn't get on with the films director Danny Steinmann. Mancuso called Steinmann a pervert and called the film a soft core porn sex movie rather than a slasher horror film
- Goofs(at around 1h 10 mins) When Pam is running through the woods, her sweater disappears then reappears.
- Alternate versionsThere is an alternate version of the film which runs 91 minutes and contains several small and mostly inconsequential differences. These are:
- "Version 2" is in the lower right hand corner throughout the movie.
- There is no close-up of Jason pulling the machete out of Neil's stomach during the opening sequence.
- Duke's (the paramedic) line is altered when he sees Joey's body. In the original version he says "Bunch of pussies..." while in Version 2 he says "I'll be damned...".
- There is a different angle briefly used in Pete's death.
- The scene in which Ethel yells at Junior as he is eating his stew is re-edited to remove the profanity, and uses some different angles.
- When Demon is about to open the outhouse door, an alternate camera angle is used and some of the profanity he uses is cut from the scene.
- After Junior is decapitated there is an alternate angle of Ethel in the kitchen, and her dialog is slightly altered.
- The scene of Robin going to bed is re-edited to exclude some of her nudity and some dialog.
- Before the above scene is a scene of Violet in her room which originally was part of a scene which occurred a few minutes later. When the scene happens a few minutes later, the footage that was previously used is not present.
- When Pam fights off Roy with the chainsaw, she hits him twice in shoulder. Only the second hit appears in the original version.
- When Roy dies, the camera stays on Pam, Tommy and Reggie instead of showing Roy falling on the spikes.

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning review
Young Tommy, the kid who defeated Jason in The Final Chapter, has grown into a troubled young man who is haunted by nightmares and visions of his nemesis. His arrival at a home for troubled teens coincides with the start of a series of bloody murders which suggest that he might have somehow inherited Jason's bloodlust. There are so many characters in this edition of the long-running horror franchise that director Danny Steinmann doesn't even get time to show all their murders on screen, and the rate at which the bodies pile up becomes a little farcical by the final reel.
