Did You Know?
| Trivia | (at around 35 mins) The strange dance which Jimbo performs at the party was contributed by actor Crispin Glover and was based on the eccentric way he actually danced in clubs. On the set he was dancing to "Back in Black" by AC/DC as the scene was filmed. In the film however an edited version of "Love Is a Lie" by Lion was dubbed into the scene. See more » |
| Goofs | In Friday the 13th: Part 3 (1982), Jason was stabbed in the leg and his hand, yet in 'Part IV' (which takes place the next day), there is no blood stain nor cut in his trousers or his leg, and no wound on his hand. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | In the opening credits, Jason's hockey mask appears and moves towards the screen. Letters proclaiming 'Friday the 13th' appear on it. Letters proclaiming 'The Final Chapter' swing down, crash into the mask, causing it to explode, and reveal the rest of the title. See more » |
