Faq

What are the differences between the British BBFC-18 VHS version and the uncut version?

The old British VHS misses out several scenes containing violence and/or nudity and has been cut for about 80 seconds. A detailed comprison between both versions with pictures can be found here.

What did the ending mean?

The ending could be interpreted as either Tommy being supernaturally possessed by Jason or just driven insane by all that has happened. Either way he seems destined to become the new killer in the new beginning of the series.
