Q
At the end of Part VI, Jason is wearing gloves, a belt, a green shirt, and gray pants when he is dragged underwater. When he's seen underwater at the beginning of Part VII, he has neither the gloves nor the belt, and both his shirt and pants are navy blue. What happened?
A
The probable answer is that, since virtually every film in the series is made by a completely different cast and crew, no one bothered to keep up with the continuity of the previous film. In recent years, industrious fans manipulating the lighting in screen captures have discovered that, in fact, the shirt and pants are a very dark green, similar to the color of shirt Jason wore in previous entries. Jason's being seen almost solely at night and saturated with water is what lends his clothing a navy blue appearance. If a viewer wants to rationalize the discrepancies, part VII takes place several years after part VI. It's possible that the gloves and belt rotted away beneath the water, and that Jason's clothes were likewise discolored.
Q

Q
Why is John Shepard still in the lake after so many years? And why isn't he decomposed?
A
Tina's power has become so strong, she is able to manifest the physical form of her father's spirit to save her. Update: In the deleted ending John Shepards body does appear to be decomposed when he emerges from the water however nearly all the death scenes in Part VII were re-edited in order for it to qualify for an R rating.
