** Freddy realises he's been pulled back into reality. This sucks enough, but then the ''majorly'' pissed Jason kicks in the cabin door as the place burns around them, the music starts playing, and it's one of film history's greatest OhCrap moments. It's awesome.

** Considering the movie was the last time Creator/RobertEnglund played Freddy, was the last film of the "big four" slasher franchises (''Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre, Franchise/{{Halloween}}, Franchise/FridayThe13th'' and ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'') and was released two months before the remake of ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2003'', in hindsight it very clearly marks [[EndOfAnAge the end of the original slasher age.]] After spending the nineties staggering around and dying the first generation of the genre got to have a respectful and successful farewell before being remade.

** Jason had many awesome moments, but the one that struck a chord with this troper was the scene after [[BallsOfSteel Freddy tried and failed to kick him in the balls.]] After that, Jason grabs Freddy sticks him halfway out the window and starts running dragging him across the winnows and walls breaking them over Freddy's body. It's more awesome for two reasons. 1. It's the first time you ever seen Jason run since [[FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter he chased Trish Jarvis.]] And 2 the reason why he didn't run so often in the films after Final Chapter implies that Jason was walking slow on [[ItAmusedMe purpose just to mess with his victims.]]

** At one point, Freddy is messing Jason up something fierce. First [[{{Fingore}} he slices off half his fingers on one hand]], catching his machete as he drops it and begins hacking away at him. We've seen Jason get hit with his own weapon before, [[LaserGuidedKarma but to see him crawl away as Freddy is tearing his back to shreds with the machete was pretty damn humbling]]. To cap it off, Freddy rolls Jason's limp body over and [[EyeScream shoves two of his finger blades into his eyes.]]
** Once the fight is near its end, the two keep fighting even after they have clearly worn themselves down to almost nothing. Freddy slowly slides the machete into Jason's chest. [[AnArmAndALeg Then Jason rips Freddy's freaking arm off.]] By this point, it could be argued that they have mangled each other worse than they have any other victim in the past, just due to the sheer fact that they're both so hard to kill.
** When Lori and Will ignite the gas tanks at the dock, Jason and Freddy both share a weary OhCrap as everything explodes. There's a rather nice shot of their flaming bodies flying into the sky and landing in the lake.
** Jason [[spoiler: beating Freddy]] in perhaps the most {{Badass}} way imaginable: [[spoiler: Impaling him through the back with his own notorious weapon. And not just the bladed glove itself. He pierces Freddy's arm through his body. [[DefiantToTheEnd Then falls back into the lake, as if content]].]]

** There's also how ''[[TheBrute Jason Voorhees]]'', of all characters, gets [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds made into someone]] you can feel not just kind of sorry for, but who is ''sympathetic''. At least in comparison to Freddy, anyway. And it ''doesn't feel forced.''

* The movie itself is a CMOA for the writer, director, and crew, in that they took very different movie universes, [[{{Crossover}} put them together]], and made a film that is not only watchable but actually makes both [[VillainDecay Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees] back into actually scary villains.

* Jason comes across a rave party in a cornfield and starts tearing a path of destruction through a ton of sex-starved teenagers -- ''while he's on fire.''
** In a meta way, it is also an awesome moment for the guy playing Jason, stuntman Ken Krizinger. That scene where he leaves a trail of fire through the cornfield? That was done in ''one take''. Ken had a cooling gel slathered all over him, put in a specially made fire-retardant costume and given precise instruction over a radio earpiece as he calmly walked through the field, because he could not hear or see. This was for at or over a minute, where most fire stunts are over within fifteen to twenty seconds at most.

* Hell, every fight Jason has against Freddy is this. Seeing that bastard totally beaten up, limbless and desperate when he try to just survive makes you satisfied that karma is totally manhandling Freddy's third-degree-burned ass.

Every fight Jason has against Freddy is this. Seeing that bastard totally Krueger beaten up, limbless limbless, and desperate when he try to just survive ''survive'' makes you any viewer satisfied that karma is totally manhandling Freddy's third-degree-burned ass. Those fights pale in comparison, however, to Freddy vs. Jason at Camp Crystal Lake:
** After Freddy realises he's been pulled back into reality, he's confronted with an enraged Jason in the middle of a cabin engulfed in flames -- one of film history's greatest OhCrap moments.
** Freddy fires propane tanks at Jason like torpedoes -- and most of them zoom past Jason as he does an UnflinchingWalk.



* Jason comes across a whole rave-full of sex-starved teenagers in a cornfield and just goes to town. ''While on fire.''
* Lori Campbell decapitates Freddy with Jason's machete. So awesome, it should be the [[CrowningMomentofAwesome CMOA]] page image.
* Kia's death, for anyone who saw her as TheScrappy.
* "Hey, asshole! UP HERE!"
* A subtle one, and possibly one born of this tropers ignorance of Freddy's franchise, but during the dream fight, Freddy kept hammering Jason, only for Jason to throw it all off. Freddy gets afraid, realising he's dealing with someone who can't die and at this point, the dream world, which had been red tinted until now, turns green. In other words, Freddy LOST CONTROL OF THE DREAM WORLD. BECAUSE JASON IS THAT HARDCORE.
** Actually it was to symbolise the entrance of water into the dreamworld. Jason isn't scared of fire, but his sudden fear of water is what gives Freddy control over him.
