Newb Views the 80s

[Curt McGirt]

I love love love me some Halloween II. It was the first one I ever saw (on TV, on Halloween) and ever since it's been my jam. Best kills in the series by far; despite how cool/goofy/nasty some of them are, my favorite one overall is the claw hammer to the dome. Simple, sudden, and brutal.

What's weird is that both H2 and Ft13th 2 both have that gag. Both to people in a uniform, and both came out in 1981.

Everyone knows where to spot Dana Carvey by now, right?

[Curt McGirt]

I forgot about that. Halloween II's makes more sense in that he was in the equipment shed, but then again I guess Jason could have stole a hammer to build his shack and just had it laying around. 

 

Dana's in one of the crowds, right?

When the blonde new reporter is telling a guy to get statements from the kids even if he can't find a parent, she's talking to him.

I'm sure it's been talked to death but what was the reason for Jason Takes Manhattan being mostly on a cruise..?

[Brian Fowler]

Mostly, money.

 

It was much cheaper to shoot on a boat (which, btw, is CLEARLY not a cruise ship) than in Vancouver (which was, of course, cheaper to shoot in than NYC, hence why they only did a very brief of shooting in New York, with nearly all of the city scenes being Vancouver, other than the Times Square bit.)
