Autres versions

UK cinema and video versions were cut by 8 secs by the BBFC to remove an underwater full frontal shot of Sandra skinny-dipping. The cuts were waived in 2002.

A shot of Jason carrying a severed head into a room was also cut. Kate's death was trimmed of blood flow.

The following scenes were removed from the film in order to get an "R" rating rather than an "X":

• Jason's face is constantly masked in shadows to avoid shots of his moldy, decomposing face. The complex make-up was made to conform to actor Kane Hodder's face, but was later deleted from nearly the entire movie when the MPAA deemed it "a bit too grisly".
• Judy's sleeping bag death was cut to absolutely no gore. In the uncut version Jason slams the sleeping bag against the tree repeatedly until the sleeping bag is soaked in blood.
• Maddy's death, which is offscreen in the wide-release version, but in original prints a scythe is jammed into her neck and bursts from the other side.
• Ben's death is much grislier. In uncut versions, Jason smashes his head into a mushy pulp and blood pours down his face.
• Eddie's death was cut. In the original version, we see his head drop to the floor, but in the theatrical version, we only hear it.
• Russ's head splits open as Jason hits it with an axe. This scene was also cut.
• Amanda Shepard's death is virtually unseen in the wide release, which only shows her get stabbed from behind for a second and then cuts to Doctor Crew's shocked face. Uncut, she is impaled on the blade, which juts violently from her chest. Jason then lifts her off the ground on it and waits until she finally dies.
• Dr. Crews was killed with a tree-trimming saw. Originally, Jason tore into his gut, spilling out a fountain of entrails and blood that spurted up into the air.
• Melissa's death has an ax violently cleaving her face in two, splitting it down the middle in a gruesome close-up that left her eyes still wiggling in their sockets. Jason then tossed her aside, which is all we see in the cut release.
• Dan's death was also cut. There was a shot of Jason's hand ripping through the front of his body with guts attached.
• Tina Shepard has a vision of her mother's demise at Jason's hands while driving a car. Buechler originally wanted the vision to be of Jason holding the severed head of Mrs. Voorhees, but Gulf + Western wouldn't allow it.
• A denouement scene was filmed in which a fisherman in a boat on Crystal Lake hooks a largemouth bass, but as he's reeling it in, Jason rises from the lake and pulls him under. The scene was removed from the final cut, because it was deemed too close to the ending of the original Friday the 13th and Part 3.
• Michael's death was cut. Originally, Jason rammed the spike all the way through his body, causing blood to spurt out.
• Tina's vision of Michael getting killed was also more graphic.
