History Film / FridayThe13thPart2

* MaleGaze: We get a long camera shot centered on Terry's behind.

However, it turns out Jason ''didn't'' [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated drown after all!]] He survived -- somehow -- and has actually been living in seclusion for the past two decades. For some reason. Since he was 8 years old. Look, [[BellisariosMaxim just go with it, okay?]]

* BaitAndSwitch: Both parts to the ending of the movie: Ginny and Paul make it back to the cabin, trying to regain their bearing after their confrontation with Jason... when the door begins rattling. The two are on edge as Paul slowly moves to open it... only to find Terry's dog being the cause of it. The two are immediately relieved as Ginny gets up- and Jason bursts through the window behind Ginny. After a fade to white, we see Ginny being loaded into an ambulance alive... except Paul is nowhere to be found.

* ChairmanOfTheBrawl: Ginny breaks a chair over Jason's head. [[OnceIsNotEnough Then she runs away]].

* FlashbackNightmare: Opening shows Alice having nightmare's from the [[PreviouslyOn first film's events]].

* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:We don’t see what happens to Terry]].

* OutWithABang: [[spoiler: Jeff and Sandra.]]

The movie starts shortly after the events of the first film, where Pamela Voorhees stopped the reopening of Camp Crystal Lake by murdering the camp counselors, in revenge for her son, Jason, who 20 years ago drowned while his guardians were having sex.

* PowerfulPick: Jason's very first kill in the second movie is Alice, the Final Girl of the first movie, whom he kills with an icepick. His third kill is with a mining pick, when the nameless officer foolishly chases him all the way to his own cabin. Finally, as mentioned above, Jason tries to use a mining pick to break through to kill Ginny.

* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:Alice bites it in the first scene.]]

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: Vicky and Ginny. First, Vicky gets "cornered" by Jason, the door is right next to her, then Jason starts walking really slow towards her. What does she do? Stare at him. Then, comes Ginny. While fighting Jason, she grabs a ''chainsaw'' and gets him on the ground, but then, she grabs a chair instead, rams it on his head, and runs away.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The exact fate of Paul. It largely depends on wither or not the final JumpScare at the end was real, or a DreamSequence.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The exact fate of Paul. The next film implies that it wasn't good.

* BringMyBrownPants: Ginny wets herself while trying to hide from Jason, not because he might catch her though, [[EekAMouse but because she saw a rat.]] According to the director, though, it was the rat who peed (which is a awful lot of urine for a rat).

* SummerCampy

* SummerCampy

After avenging his mother's death by killing the last movie's FinalGirl, Alice, [[SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome in the first 11 minutes of the movie]], he resurfaces five years later, when another entrepreneur is preparing to open a new summer camp in the woods next to Crystal Lake.

* HandOrObjectUnderwear: When Terry comes out of the water for the above mentioned swim and realizes her clothes were missing, she crosses her arms over her chest. Apparently, the fact that her bare groin was out of frame was enough to cover that too.

However, it turns out Jason ''didn't'' [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated drown after all]]! He survived -- somehow -- and has actually been living in seclusion for the past two decades. For some reason. Since he was 8 years old. Look, [[BellisariosMaxim just go with it, okay?]]

The answer? To hell with logic, just pump out another one and make something up. God knows, it's not like these things are known for their [[ExcusePlot deep continuity]] and [[FlatCharacter nuanced characterizations,]] anyway.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The exact fate of Paul.
** However, Abel in [[Film/FridayThe13thPartIII the next film]] shows the protagonists an eyeball he found "with other parts of the body". The body in question may have been Paul.
** The newscast at the beginning of [[Film/FridayThe13thPartIII Part III]] also talks about how evidence was found of previously unseen "cannibalism" and "sexual mutilation" at the location of the killing spree. [[WebVideo/DrWolfula Damn! Paul got the worst of it.]]

However, turns out Jason ''didn't'' [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated drown after all]]! He survived -- somehow -- and has actually been living in seclusion for over two decades. For some reason. Since he was 8 years old. Look, [[BellisariosMaxim just go with it, okay?]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This is the first appearance of Jason Voorhees, and as such a lot of what's attributed to the character doesn't exist yet. Besides the total lack of his hockey mask, this Jason is still a far cry from MadeOfIron ImplacableMan he will become famous for. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he's still a normal person instead of the later film's supernatural creature.

So, it's been five years since the events of the first film, where Pamela Voorhees stopped the reopening of Camp Crystal Lake by murdering the camp counselors, in revenge for her son, Jason, who 20 years ago drowned while his guardians were having sex. Another entrepreneur is preparing to open a new summer camp in the woods next to Crystal Lake.

After avenging his mother's death by killing the last movie's FinalGirl, Alice, [[SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome in the first five minutes of the movie]], he returns to the newly reopened Camp Crystal Lake, where he begins stalking and murdering the counselors because, uh... [[SureLetsGoWithThat it's what his mother would have wanted?]]

Blatant [[{{Retcon}} retcons]] This movie is famous for being the first appearance of the ''real'' Jason Voorhees (although his iconic hockey mask and status as a super-strong, indestructible zombie wouldn't be established until later films).

This movie is famous for being the first appearance of the ''real'' Jason Voorhees (although his iconic hockey mask and status as a super-strong, indestructible zombie wouldn't be established until later films), and for deliberately retconning the premise of the previous movie.

However, turns out Jason -- who the previous film made very clear had been dead for ''decades'' -- is alive after all, and prowls the grounds killing people around the area.

There was only one problem: there wasn't any room in the story for a sequel. The killer in the first film died in way that is very difficult to come back from, even for antagonists of slasher films, and there was no one left to take up the machete. Logically, there was just no way to continue.
