Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFollowing the release of Friday the 13th (1980), Adrienne King had numerous encounters with an obsessive fan. The situation escalated into a stalker case, and she decided to avoid any further acting opportunities. She has not done any on-screen film work since, but has done voice over work on several films more than 15 years later.
- Goofs(at around 46 mins) When Terry undresses to go skinny-dipping, her hair is dry. In the very next shot, she is entering the water and her hair is moist and slicked back.
- Crazy creditsJust like Part 1, we see giant letters proclaiming 'Friday the 13th' moving towards the screen (minus the shattering glass). When they reach the screen, they explode and reveal letters proclaiming 'Part 2.'
- Alternate versionsThe following scenes were cut from the film in order to avoid an "X" rating from the MPAA:
- A close-up shot Jeff and Sandra being double-impaled while having sex on the bed.
- A close up shot of Crazy Ralph and the wire cutting.
- A scene at the very end where we are shown the inside Jason's shack and see Pamela's face. While there, her eyes open. It was cut by Paramount for looking too fake.
- A facing shot of Mark's face being split by the machete.
- Vicky's death had a few more frames of her bleeding from the mouth, then pans over to see another shot of Jeff's dead body
- Blood was trimmed from the shot of Jason driving the hammer in the cop's head.
- The flashback footage showing Mrs. Voorhees decapitation was trimmed.
- Bloodflow was cut from the shot of Jason driving an icepick into Alice's head. Additionally, Jason turns her to the camera, revealing the icepick tip exited through her nose while a look of shock is on her face.
- Additional bloodflow was cut from the shot of Jason slicing Scott's throat.
- Originally, sex scene between Sandra and Jeff was longer and it included full frontal nudity from actress Marta Kober but when Paramount studio discovered that she was underage the scene was deleted completely.

Featured review
A low point but still entertaining entry
This is one of the weakest entries of the franchise in my opinion. It also doesn't fit in with the other films. Some things just make no sense. The opening for instance has Jason killing the films first survivor a few months after the first film. Heres the problem with that he's fully grown, he somehow knows where she lives and travels to her house. Cut to 5 years later and a group of counselors are trying to open up a camp and start being stalking and slashed by a hooded Jason. Amy Steel stars as Ginny one of the franchise's smartest and most bad ass heroines. The movie is fun but it's so by the numbers and the finale leaves one of the biggest questions of the series. What happened to Paul?
