GENERAL NOTES:

Thomas:  Do American Express cards float?
Mitch:  That one sure did.
Thomas:  That's what happens when you're about to die and you offer
  Jason all your money and credit cards.
Mitch:  You can't buy your way out of some situations.  At least
  Deputron tried shooting Jason.
Thomas:  He didn't end up any better, though.
Mitch:  Good thing Jason only uses edged weapons and not firearms.
Thomas:  You know, this one did raise a lot of interesting questions.
Mitch:  Like what?
Thomas:  Like, why didn't Jason just walk along the bottom of the
  lake, chains and all?
Mitch:  Or remove the chain?  I mean, obviously he's still alive
  down there.  Even the worms in his face were still wriggling.
Thomas:  Maybe he'll just wait...until the next movie.  I bet that's
  what happens.
Mitch:  Let's talk about the distinct lack of nudity in this movie.
Thomas:  Example.
Mitch:  What, you want me to give you an example of nothing?
Thomas:  Hmm.
Mitch:  No naked girls.  Not one.  Not even a flash.  The director
  lapsed on his nudity quota.  An amateur effort, to be certain.
Thomas:  He's no Fred Olen Ray.  But what about Nikki?
Mitch:  What about her?  She didn't get naked.
Thomas:  Come to think of it, she didn't even take her shirt off
  while she was having sex.
Mitch:  It wouldn't have mattered anyway...too little, too late, know
  what I mean?
Thomas:  I'm afraid I do.  Hell, this movie didn't even have a good
  dork.
Mitch:  They should have taken lessons - lots of them - all of them -
  from some of the previous movies.  Let's see...this one was #6...
  I rank the overall series now:  2,4,5,1,6,3.
Thomas:  Not good.  Not good at all.
Mitch:  Let's hope they get a better director for part 7.
