![]() It's a solid death that's punctuated by Roy killing Mother, who squeezes a tomato as she dies. ![]() As Junior is passing by a tree, Roy Burns swings a cleaver out and clothesline-decapitates Junior, whose head goes tumbling as his body crashes along with the motorcycle. While Mother Ethel Hubbard threw raw vegetables into a pot of water, which she called believed was already a meal, her miffed son Junior was tearing ass around the yard on a motorcycle was whine-screaming. There are a ton of deaths in this flick, but to me, the most memorable and different one of all was suffered by another of the franchise's more insufferable characters. The fifth film in the Friday the 13th franchise takes a detour from the norm by actually keeping Jason dead while a copycat killer rises up and terrorizes a halfway house inhabited by franchise character Tommy Jarvis. You know what isn't beginning in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning? My appreciation for Jason Voorhees ripoff artists like Roy Burns. Jason already proving himself the Bobby Fischer of slasher movies. This might have lost out to the guy who got killed while trying to take a shit – because we're already at that point of stretching the term "iconic" out – if not for Jason somehow then shoving Andy's spatchcocked body into the rafters in order to freak his pregnant girlfriend out right before stabbing her through a hammock. But we did get a post-coital Andy walking around on his hands, and then taking a machete to the groin and getting his lower bits lopped in half. JASON VOORHEES SOUND EFFECT SERIESThe death of a series wackadoo, along with the immediate embrace of supernatural weirdness, makes Crazy Ralph the top pick for Friday the 13th Part 2.Īt just the third film in the franchise, Friday the 13th joined the 3-D bandwagon, giving a loosely plotted film the advantage of such unforgettable shots as "having a pitchfork handle's end come at your face slowly" and "having an eyeball pop out in your general direction for half a second." (That second one is legitimately awesome, for the record.) Jason also got his signature hockey mask in Friday the 13th Part III (which arbitrarily jumped to Roman numerals for some of the rest of the sequels).Īs far as iconic deaths go, Friday the 13th Part III wasn't exactly an embarrassment of riches. Ralph is voyeuristically perving while standing against a tree (not the impossible part), and Jason pulls wire across Ralph's throat, even though there's no feasible way Jason could have maneuvered that while standing behind the tree. ![]() The second death was not only another reprisal, that of Walt Gorney's Crazy Ralph, but it was also more chilling, and also logistically IMPOSSIBLE even by Friday the 13th's wacky logic. Some might say that Adrienne King's Alice gets the most iconic death, since she was the first film's Final Girl Alice, but Jason's big revenge was a rather bland icepick to the head. ![]() That was about all it did, story-wise, with the sequel mostly retreading Camp Crystal Lake visitors getting picked off one by one or by two, in Jef and Sandra's case, which was all sexy until it suddenly wasn't at all. Directed by future horror mainstay Steve Miner, Friday the 13th Part 2 marks the true introduction of Jason Voorhees as the central killer of the franchise, with his dearly missed mommy getting killed off at the end of the previous movie. ![]()
