Part two opens with Alice, the sole survivor of part one. I must say though, if I talked to my mom the way she talked to her mom on the phone in the opening scene, it would be my head in the refrigerator that she stumbles upon.
I am a little curious as to how Jason figured out where she lives, given he is a mongoloid (I know it's an insensitive term, but he doesn't have Down's syndrome. He was meant to be disfigured beyond anything nature would really do) and he wears some type of potato sack over his head. It's not like he had access to the internet or WiFi in 1981.
So a few funny things regarding Alice. She survived a brutal serial killer and all her co-camp counselors died. You would think that would make her overprotective and extremely cautious, but it's after her shower, that she then decides to use the chain on her door and realizes she left a window open.
Alice then gets a screwdriver or something like that through her temple. The whole time her cat is sitting on the countertop, like hey, I don't care if you murder my owner, but would you mind filling my cat food bowl, please.
They start the movie almost in the same situation as Friday the 13th one, there are two guys and a girl in a truck driving by a gas station, only no Kevin Bacon this time, but much how I mentioned in my last post about your typical cast members, right away we have the couple who is destined to have sex and die (Sandra and Jeff).
You have another crazy old drunk guy telling everyone "you're doomed, doomed." Remember, always believe the crazy old drunk guy.
We have another prankster just like in Friday the 13th, part one, Ted, but oddly enough, Ted lives. The smart bastard decides to stay at a bar in town while everyone he knows at camp is being butchered. It's a great day to be a binge drinker.
We've got our standard hot chick Terry, who not only wears the shortest shorts I have seen in any horror movie, but also makes one ask the question, how many crop tops does this lady have anyway. She does however, show proper Mickey Mouse placement across her chest.
We have Jinny and Paul. Jinny is the one destined to be the survivor. Book smart, studying child psychology and follows the typical traits of being modest and sympathetic. Jinny is played by Amy Steel. Amy Steel was a great 80s actress. She was in a movie called April Fool's Day which is one of my favorite movies from the 80s. Paul interestingly enough has a scene where he looks a lot like Sting.

Friday the 13th part two embarked upon what would be a tradition for their next movies which is, the cop always dies.
Also another tradition that will show up in future films is the female nude swimming scene.
We move into probably what is the cruelest of all scenes in the Friday franchise. We have the hunky wheelchair bound Mark. He's getting hit on pretty heavily by the perky and flirty Vickie. First, they settle on the fact that they'll find an empty cabin and do it, but before they do, she feels the need to go change her clothes and spray on perfume. Why? All those clothes are going to come off anyway. One of the rules horror movies teach us is try to stay together. It won't save your life, but you may live a little longer. Vickie decides to spray some perfume on her vagina. Never spray the vag! That shit burns, Vickie.
While Vickie is off spraying her vagina with perfume, poor Scott gets a machete to the head and is thrown backwards down dozens of stair steps, still in his wheelchair. Who in the hell kills a handicapped person in a horror movie?! Shame on you Steve Miner.
Okay, so Jinny and Paul decide to go back to camp after drinking at a bar, they stumble upon the ever popular bloody scene, where the standard question must always be asked, "Is this some kind of a joke?"
Jinny wins the "worst girlfriend" award for this movie. She was worthless when it came to trying to save Paul's life. When he was being attacked, she just watched. She didn't hesitate to leave his ass behind either when Jason decided to go after her.
Now you would think Jason would be a better fighter, but he is actually more than a little clumsy and awkward in this movie. It is his debut killing spree after all. Jason actually trips and falls, just like the women always do in horror movies. One of the more humorous dilemma's Jinny faces is how to keep her hand on the doorknob, and reach way across to try and close an open window at the same time. It's futile by the way.
Of course, her Volkwswagen won't start up. Typical car scene for a horror movie. Isn't that just life. Her car didn't break down at the bar where they would have probably gotten a hotel or at least stayed long enough to get it started that maybe they would have missed some of the killing spree. Oh no. The car started up fine, just to get Jinny and Paul back to camp for attempted murder.
One of questions I have always pondered when Jinny is hiding under a bed and just as Jason is about to leave, he notices a puddle spreading out from under the bed. Is Jinny pissing or is it the rat that crawled under their with her?
Jason decides to try to hide from her for an ambush, and this huge seemingly 200 pound muscular guy decides to stand on a wicker chair? Are you shitting me?
The rest of the movie moves through scenes of Jinny trying to pull a child psychology trick and put on the sweater Jason's mother died in, ick, and towards the end of the movie we see Jason crash through a window to grab Jinny and we see his face, one of the few times you will ever see his actual face and it's pretty horrific. Like something out of one of the mutated humans you see out of the Wrong Turn movies.
We are left with the question of wondering if Paul lived, but we think probably not.
