History YMMV / FridayThe13thPart2

* Narm: Vickie swapping out her black colored panties for poopy brown colored panties.

* Terry can be viewed as one to some extent. She doesn’t engage in typical bad behavior for teenagers in this franchise (apart from wearing immodest clothing), making her death feel more tragic than deserved. She also is often on the receiving end of multiple pranks from Scott, which at least border on being sexual harassment.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Many fans tend to bring up Mark very amicably, due to him being one of [[NiceGuy the nicest characters in the series]], and his infamous death scene.

* FanNickname: ''Part 2'' Jason is sometimes called "Sackhead Jason" to differentiate him from the later versions that wear hockey masks.

* FridgeLogic:
** How did Jason survive drowning in the camp's lake as described in the first movie? Why did no one ever find him? Why did he never go home? He couldn't have forgotten his family since he clearly remembered his mother and sought revenge for her death, which implies he saw her die. If so, why didn't he do anything?
** Jason has a toilet in his shack out in the middle of the woods. There’s obviously no plumbing in his shack, so why have a toilet there to begin with?

** Alice is just said to have disappeared and, although Jason attacks her with an ice pick to the temple, it's possible she could have survived (a scene in ''Film/{{Scream 4}}'' was inspired by a real-life incident where a man was stabbed in the head and drove himself to the hospital), escaped and gone into hiding.

** [[spoiler:Paul]] has many people convinced that he survived his final battle with Jason, although in the film itself his fate is unclear. Even so, he could easily be already being cared for by the paramedics in the final scene.
** [[spoiler:Terry]] being attacked off-screen and not having any serious-looking wounds when Jason lays her body at the shrine for his mother causes some fans to believe that she may just be unconscious.

* EvenBetterSequel: [[Film/FridayThe13th1980 The first Friday the 13th movie]] is seen as a great cult classic and plenty of fans do love it, though for many, Part 2 is their preferred entry in the series. Not just for the introduction of Jason Voorhees as the main killer, but for ramping up the creative kills, having great, likable characters, the introduction of [[ActionGirl Ginny Field]], and a much faster pace compared to Part 1.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** Harry Manfredini returns as the film’s composer and manages to create a score that’s even more lively and creepier than before. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAeXhr1-6mc Ginny Under the Bed]] is a particular standout.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY3N0C8X0SM Flashback]]. A slow, foreboding cue that blends the dreamlike atmosphere fitting to Alice’s nightmare with the frantic violins of Part 1.
** The cue that plays when [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KjZ914DCMcY Ginny "tricks" Jason at his shack]]. Incredibly spacey and trippy, but equally suspenseful.

* WhatAnIdiot: Terry hears a strange noise in the woods, thinking someone is moving around close by.
** '''You'd Expect:''' She head back to the cabin sensibly.
** '''Instead:''' She decides to skinny dip right there in the lake.
** '''The Result:''' Scott, who has a proven fixation on her, steals her clothes while she's swimming.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Terry's attitude to Scott, especially when he gets caught hanging upside down. She warns him to "cut the crap out" in exchange for cutting him down, so is she also low-key threatening him that she'll report him if he tries anything again?

** [[spoiler:Paul]] has many people convinced that he survived his final battle with Jason, although in the film itself his fate is unclear.

** When attempting to empathise with Jason's plight, Ginny uses the word 'retard', which became recognised as a slur in the 2010s.

* ValuesResonance: For an early-80's slasher film, the movie is pretty progressive by having one of the counselors (Mark) be disabled and using a wheelchair, as well as having one of the girls (Vickie) coming on to him and wanting to sleep with him, treating him as just another guy working there that she finds attractive.

* AssPull: The kid that died 20 years ago -- and the reason why Mrs. Vorhees was killing in the first place -- is alive after all, has been living near Camp Crystal Lake this whole time, and shares his mother's penchant for killing horny teenagers. Why his mother never found him, despite stalking the camp for years, and why Jason never attempted to contact her is never explained.
