This is my favourite movie of the series. The song is almost amazing! The song is a fitting and almost sad finish to the greatest decade of horror movies.
This song is so good, it perfectly captures the feel of everything, Grimly & Rough streets of Retro New York City, Nostalgia, Calmness & an overall vibe, Glad Jason Takes Manhattan used this great song
I love this song but it's kinda also painfully nostslgic. It feels like a perfect end to the 1980s, the more sleazy side of NYC, and Paramount's involvement with the Friday the 13th series.
This song automatically takes me back to the 80's. I wish I were there right now. I loved all these movies and the soundtracks. This song takes me back to my childhood.🤧🤧

No The darkest side of the night Burns like a fire for the wasted lives And there's no way you can fight Show some respect and try to survive On the darkest side
I wanna know how people think this Friday is bad Other fridays can be considered bad like Jason x which doesn’t have the name so doesn’t count Anyway There’s something special about an 80s slash thriller
@@TheOfficialMelendez it was too large. Crystal Lake is small & insular. This was one the countrys biggest cities. Other films seem more plasable than a man walking around NY in a mask at night.
This is my favorite Jason movie hands down. My only wish is that more of the movie actually takes place in New York, only the last 3rd or so is in the city. But overall just an amazing movie and I watch it over and over again. Also love this song used in the movie, works so well and so fitting
I play this song every year at Halloween season to get that fall season bewitching hour feeling; Halloween 1, 2 & lll, and of course, F13 Jason take Manhattan, shout out to Metropolis for this classic 80s tune; I miss this era!
I still remember renting this and watching it on VHS as a 10 year old back in 89. Grew up on the 80’s horror because my mom turned me onto it at an extremely early age. 😂

One of the producers wanted Robert Plant to perform this song. This is the first Friday the 13th film I saw. It was on VHS back in 1990. Remmy is one of my favourite final girls.
My favorite version of this Friday the 13th part 8. Metropolis. The Darkest Side Of The Night. I remember this movie. 1989 I think. Well this rocks and Jason is still bad ass in 2023.
Man that's a good riff. I remember laughing out loud as a 14 year old in the theater to the movie, but they were smart to put the best part of the film in the beginning.
Misty Acker If this movie didn’t take place in a boat and better acting as well as the setting in New York it might’ve been one of the best movie in this franchise
This song is MAGIC,,,,, Cause that is so much about New York, !!! You can see all, but what a great thrill to be in time Square and the feeling ,,,, one of my Best City that i See So Far,,,,,,, My Best Friday The 13 Th Stan Meissner is A God,,
I loved this movie , it actually does continue the story from the original friday part 2, where Jason first shows up , he just kept getting stronger and stronger, definitely not a fan of the other ones after this one, to me it all ended in New York.
Yes agreed but, love watching Kane kill it playing Jason every time. I can overlook the shortcomings of the films, kane’s performance was and is legendary, really stands out!!
Who’s listening to this song in 2024? I love this soundtrack from the movie, if I was living in New York especially the Manhattan nightlife I would play this song while I’m driving around late night the perfect late night vibe.
Even though I didn't mind Jason takes mamhattan. It was panned by critics that's why they did not continue with jason in New York. The dark humor behind this film is in new York Jason just looks to be another weirdo walking the streets. In the diner or on the street he blends in and doesn't stand out cuz of all the crazies in New York.
Possibly because the great unknown and sleaze of NYC at night with a stalking murderer on the loose. I think I know what you mean. I felt something too.
This movie is way too overhated. The shot of Kane Hodder in Time Square is the best scene in this franchise in my opinion. The kills were the best in my opinion. And why is it not enough to get Jason in New York for 50 minutes. A ton of movie don't include the part of their title until the last 4th of the movie. And yet they aren't picked on. The mask is better than the rest in my opinion. The soundtrack is definitely the best and it's just overall an underrated movie. It's in my top 3 Friday films and it's my personal favorite from this franchise. I just feel totally alone on that. People always overexagerate saying Jason is in Manhattan for only 10 to 15 minutes. But if you pay attention, the last 50 minutes of the film are in Manhattan. 40 are on a boat. And that fine. But people are mad because they wanted the whole movie to take place in Manhattan. But they gave you what you wanted and they got all pissy about it so they overhate it. And the original was even better. Having Jason on a skyscraper, Jason boxing Julius in Madison Square Garden, and having a tense chase on the Brooklyn Bridge. But after the studio didnt give them nearly enough money, they couldn't do it. And it's a shame. From what I know, a couple million from the 5 million they got to make was used on time square alone. They gave them a pitiful amount of money for such a massively ambitious project. Even though I love this film very much, i still know it only made 14 million at the box office. Which saddens me. Everyone lost faith because everyone wanted to see this when it came out. But once they heard the news, almost nobody went to see it. And that's when the franchise went into a downward spiral. The next 2 piece of shit films would be very disappointing. And my biggest disappointment from this franchise would come to fruition. Kane Hodder wasn't chosen to play Jason in Freddy vs. Jason. Everyone went into a riot about it. Even Kane wasnt some people's favorite Jason, they still wanted him to play Jason for that role. Since he was the only person to play Jason more than once. He played him 4 times. But they got just a stunt actor to do it and he didnt do well at all. It was a major missed opportunity that will sadden me till I die. But they cam back with an amazing entry with the remake. Top 3 no question. But it ended on a good note at the time of this comment. But at least I know that I love this film. It just upsets me a bit that I can't really find others who do. But 9.5 out of 10 for. I'd only add the scenes they cut from the script. That would perfect it for me.
I recently started watching the Friday The 13th movies for the first time and it seems that I seem to enjoy quite a few of the ones that most people dislike, and I find some of the ones that people like, boring. You're not alone; I finished Jason Takes Manhattan last night and enjoyed it, especially the second half (the first half was okay); I really loved the soundtrack and NYC locations (I'm a sucker for movies portraying the gritty and grimy NYC of the 60s, 70s and 80s). So far, here is how I rank the films: 1) 6 and 7 2) 3 and 8 (Manhattan) 3) 4 4) 2 5) 1 6) 5 In which order would you rank all the films?
@@DougieYT I do agree it should have been more in Manhattan. I just think it's exaggerated how long he's in New York. Everyone always says 15 minutes when it's actually 40 to 50 minutes.
"Jason Takes Manhattan" is the best of the "Zombie Jason" installments in the "Friday the 13th" franchise (Part VI beginning the "Zombie Jason" period). The character is really menacing in this film. There are a few reasons why, in my opinion: First, we never see his eyes when he is wearing the mask. That is true in prior films, but the utter blackness of the eyeholes stand out in contrast to the relative brightness of the mask. Secondly, Kane Hodder here has perfected his slow, methodical movement, his heavy chest breathing, the deliberate, almost torturous, way that the character kills (i.e. slowly pushing the arrow forward and down toward the woman who stupidly hid beneath the yacht deck), etc. Third, Jason is almost always drenched, and for that reason his black outfit comes across as almost an outer layer of his flesh. The darkness in Jason's tortured soul is what he is really wearing. Finally, some of the kills are gimmicky, like the end to the boxing match on the roof, but others exhibit Jason's deep anger and hostility, such as when he chokes the Asian woman and throws her corpse to the floor. The other great star is the cinematographer. There are great shots in this film and a wonderful contrast in light and in darkness (i.e. the mask being very well lit in contrast to the blackness in the background). Some of the closeup shots of Jason in his mask just after he has killed someone add to the menace of the scene. Just as that was the last covered face the victim saw, so that is the covered face we also see up close. Psychologically, that puts us in the position of the victim and makes it all more horrifying. The film is not perfect: Since when is Crystal Lake a bay? How does Jason teleport? How does Jason get from the sinking ship to the New York City harbor? Also, the unmasked Jason in the sewer is laughable, and the sewage turning Jason back into a boy makes no sense. While "Jason Takes Manhattan" is overall a better "Zombie Jason" film, I do think that the ending sequence for "Jason Lives," where Jason is struggling with Tommy on the boat, is more terrifying than what happens in this film in the underground sewer. Nevertheless, for all the problems, "Jason Takes Manhattan" is the last time we see on screen a truly menacing Jason. In my opinion, he ceases to be a truly horrifying character in the any of the films that follow.

I would say the entire movie is a farewell to the 80s. I don’t know why but I really like Jason Takes Manhattan
@@themcadamsminute8494 Me too. It gets a bad rep around the horror community but I have a soft spot for JTM and the year 1989.

This song is such a nostalgic nod to my childhood. Just imagine how awesome this movie could have been if Jason had an extra 30 minutes in Manhattan.
It would've been nice if he spent more time actually killing people in Manhattan, rather than on a boat.
We can only imagine
@@westerncowboy2547 agreed. Only had if Paramount given the director enough money to shoot everything in New York…

Wow, 30 years and still rocks! \m/
Fallen angels take to the street
It's an empty dance and so incomplete
Their hollow voices whisper the cry
Farther down the line there's a reason why
You've tried before but you can't buy a clue
No matter what you do
The darkest side of the night
Burns like a fire for the wasted lives
And there's no way you can fight
Show some respect and try to survive
On the darkest side
Neon shadows that point the way
Never lead you out it's a game they play
The madness comes and the madness goes
It's a simple world but it's all they know
You tried to fix it but there's nothing you can do
You just gotta see it through
The darkest side of the night
Burns like a fire for the wasted lives
And there's no way you can fight
Show some respect and try to survive
On the darkest side
In this city you give and they take
You reach the limit you bend and then you break
And there's no escape, there's no escape. No
The darkest side of the night
Burns like a fire for the wasted lives
And there's no way you can fight
Show some respect and try to survive
On the darkest side
Awesome addition to the comments thank you

"Jason Takes Manhattan" is the best of the "Zombie Jason" installments in the "Friday the 13th" franchise (Part VI beginning the "Zombie Jason" period). The character is really menacing in this film. There are a few reasons why, in my opinion: First, we never see his eyes when he is wearing the mask. That is true in prior films, but the utter blackness of the eyeholes stand out in contrast to the relative brightness of the mask. Secondly, Kane Hodder here has perfected his slow, methodical movement, his heavy chest breathing, the deliberate, almost torturous, way that the character kills (i.e. slowly pushing the arrow forward and down toward the woman who stupidly hid beneath the yacht deck), etc. Third, Jason is almost always drenched, and for that reason his black outfit comes across as almost an outer layer of his flesh. The darkness in Jason's tortured soul is what he is really wearing. Finally, some of the kills are gimmicky, like the end to the boxing match on the roof, but others exhibit Jason's deep anger and hostility, such as when he chokes the Asian woman and throws her corpse to the floor. The other great star is the cinematographer. There are great shots in this film and a wonderful contrast in light and in darkness (i.e. the mask being very well lit in contrast to the blackness in the background). Some of the closeup shots of Jason in his mask just after he has killed someone add to the menace of the scene. Just as that was the last covered face the victim saw, so that is the covered face we also see up close. Psychologically, that puts us in the position of the victim and makes it all more horrifying.
The film is not perfect: Since when is Crystal Lake a bay? How does Jason teleport? How does Jason get from the sinking ship to the New York City harbor? Also, the unmasked Jason in the sewer is laughable, and the sewage turning Jason back into a boy makes no sense. While "Jason Takes Manhattan" is overall a better "Zombie Jason" film, I do think that the ending sequence for "Jason Lives," where Jason is struggling with Tommy on the boat, is more terrifying than what happens in this film in the underground sewer. Nevertheless, for all the problems, "Jason Takes Manhattan" is the last time we see on screen a truly menacing Jason. In my opinion, he ceases to be a truly horrifying character in the any of the films that follow.

@@angelasala3963 PT Barnum said it so long ago
Theres one born every minute, don't you know
Some make us laugh, some make us cry
These klowns only gonna make you die
Everybodys running when the circus comes into their towns
Everybodys gunning for the likes of the killer klowns
From outer space
Killer klowns from outer space
The ring mast shouts "Let the show begin"
Send in the klowns, let them do you in
See a rubber nose on a painted face
Bringing genocide to the human race
Its time to take a ride on a nightmare merry-go-round
You'll be dead on arrival from the likes of the killer klowns From outer space
Killer klowns from outer space
There's cotton candy in their hands
Says the polka dotted man with a stalk of jacaranda
They're all diabolical bozos
Oh look around what do you see
Tell me what's become of humanity
From California shores to New York Times Square
Barnum and Bailey everywhere
If you've ever wondered why the population's going down
Blame it on the plunder of the likes of the killer klowns
From outer space...
Killer klowns from outer space
