As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Jason's resurrection. First he pulls a Frankenstein by getting his corpse struck by lightning... twice. Then he gets up from his grave, No Sells a shovel hitting his head, kills the perpetrator by punching the guy's heart out, a deed which spooks Tommy Jarvis (who managed to kill Jason for good in The Final Chapter) so bad that he has no other option than just to run away. And to cap it all off, Jason then puts on his signature hockey mask that is followed by an odd (but awesome) Bond Gun Barrel sequence. Jason is dead. Long live Jason.
  • Sheriff Garris' beat down on Jason and eventual Heroic Sacrifice to save his daughter. He tackles him to the ground, kicks him while he's down and makes him roll over in the process, beats him with a log so hard he breaks the log, and bashes Jason's head several times with a large, heavy rock. Few characters ever get the chance to give Jason such a beating, even for an Asshole Victim like Garris becomes which makes his death a Dying Moment of Awesome, futile as it might be. This act is why Garris can be considered to be an Ensemble Dark Horseinvoked of this film.
    • Heck, given all the wounds Garris unloaded on Jason, had be been up against the Crystal Lake Slasher back before he became the undead; Garris might have stopped the latest rampage then and there, completely averting the Police Are Useless trope he's been bordering on throughout.
    • Overall, it really defines with Garris as The Sheriff, his Rank Scales with Asskicking even down to his last breath.
  • The climactic battle at the lake, where Tommy creates a ring of fire around his rowboat and wrestles with Jason to chain him up. This climaxes with the flaming Jason body slamming Tommy and the boat so hard that it breaks in half.
    • Tommy manages to chain up Jason and having him sink to the very bottom. When Jason drags Tommy down with him, Megan dives in to save the latter and even uses the propeller blades of the boat to slice up the former.
  • Right before Jason attacks a group of paintball players, one of them gets a great Bond One-Liner against a misogynistic opponent.
    Stan: This is a man's game. It requires a man's cunning, a man's intelligence-
    Katie ambushes and eliminates Stan and Larry.
    Katie: With a woman's touch.
