 When a stuntman-actor over six feet tall gives you notes on what his deadly character would or wouldn't do, you listen. That's just what director Rob Hedden did on the set of "Friday The 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan," the 1989 sequel that sees Jason go for a light boat ride on the aptly-named S.S. Lazarus with a graduating class of high school seniors. There were plenty of location-based scenes in New York that didn't make it onscreen due to budgeting limits, including a boxing match in Madison Square Garden, but there was one notable scene that never made it off the page due to actor protest. Jason Voorhees was played by Kane Hodder, an actor with the distinction of having portrayed or done stunt work for Leatherface, Freddy Krueger, and Victor Crowley as well as the hockey mask-wearing camp counselor killer. Hodder is one of the most celebrated actors to play Jason, and is credited with breathing new life and menace into the character with intentional movement and a strong, ominous presence, perfect for a character without remorse or empathy. Once ashore in Manhattan, Jason was to kick a dog upon climbing out of the water, the universal indicator of a Bad News Bear beyond redemption. Hodder famously refused, asserting that even Jason, with over 200 kills to his name, would never be so cruel as to harm an animal. www.slashfilm.com/733892/the-friday-the-13th-scene-jasons-actor-refused-to-film/Attachments:intro-1642167727.webp (41.39 KB)
