History Film / FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood

* PreviouslyOn: The film starts off with a brief narration from Walt Gorny (who played "Crazy Ralph in the [[Film/FridayThe13th1980 first]] [[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 two]] movies, followed by a quick recap of ''Jason Lives'', as Tina's father's death takes place shortly after Jason is drowned by Tommy Jarvis.

* PreviouslyOn: The film starts off on a quick recap of ''Jason Lives'', as Tina's father's death takes place shortly after Jason is drowned by Tommy Jarvis.

This film marks the debut of Creator/KaneHodder as Jason, who would play the role for the next three sequels (and become a fan favorite in the process).

* OhCrap: Jason for once is on the receiving end when Tina starts using her powers against him. Given how few characters have ever actually been able to overpower him, this is understandable.

* KillItWithFire: When Tina confronts Jason in the cabin basement, she uses her powers to douse him with gasoline and [[ManOnFire set him on fire]]. This somehow causes the whole house [[StuffBlowingUp blow up]] too.

** Then when Tina uses her telekinesis to throws the potted plant at Jason, Dan's head comes along for the ride, ''headbutting'' Jason.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Tina's doctor encourages her to explore her psychic powers... but visions of the future? Ridiculous! She's just delusional!

* LostForever: All original negatives, including the cut gore footage, were destroyed by Paramount sometime in 1992.

* AlanSmithee: Manuel Fidello (one of the film's two credited writers) is an alias for an unidentified WGA scab who violated the then-ongoing writers' strike to work on the film after the firing of original writer Daryl Haney. Any admission of working on the film -- even now -- would be grounds for instant expulsion from the WGA, so their identity will likely remain forever unknown.

* AutoErotica:
** Due to the amount of guests in his uncle's cabin, Russell has to "sleep" in his van with his girlfriend Sandra.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Subverted. Jason gets a handful of random kills beforehand, but when he starts working his way through the house, the black couple are the first people to go.

%%* DeathBySex

* OffWithHisHead:
** Jason decapitates David offscreen.

%%* OffscreenTeleportation

* VisualPun:
** Jason leaves David's severed head on a potted plant, making a headplant.

* YourHeadAsplode: More crushed, but Ben's death. ''Much worse'' in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEaZxlagqaA workprint version]], crushed to the size of a walnut.

* CommonKnowledge: Jason does in fact use a gas powered weapon in this movie, but it's a tree trimmer, [[HockeyMaskAndChainsaw not a chainsaw]].

This time around Jason Voorhees is pitted against Tina Shepard, a girl with psychic powers. She has come to Crystal Lake on her doctor's orders to work around the guilt she has about accidentally killing her father few years ago. One of her emotional psychic outbursts revitalizes Jason's body in the lake, and his killing spree continues once again.

This film marks the debut of fan-favourite Creator/KaneHodder as Jason.

!!This film has examples of:

* AlanSmithee: The second of the film's two credited writers, Manuel Fidello is an alias for an unidentified WGA scab who violated the then-ongoing writers' strike to work on the film after original writer Daryl Haney got fired. Since admitting working on the film would be grounds for instant expulsion from the WGA even to this day, chances are their identity will remain forever unknown.

* AssholeVictim: Dr. Crews and Melissa, [[spoiler: who are also ironically the last two characters to die in this film]].

** Later, Ben and Kate borrow the van to have some fun of their own.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Subverted. He has a handful of random kills beforehand, but when he starts working his way through the people in the house, the African-American couple, Ben & Kate, are the first to go.

* CoveredWithScars: Buechler arranged for all of the damage and wounds that Jason had suffered from the previous films to show on Jason in this installment to tie them together. In addition to the motorboat damage from [[Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives the previous film]], Jason also retains the machete and axe cuts from [[Film/FridayThe13thPart2 parts two]] and [[Film/FridayThe13thPartIII three]] respectively, as well as the [[EyeScream missing left eye]] from the wound that killed him in [[Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter part four]].

** Also used in a brilliant FreezeFrameBonus gag, as David walks through the dark kitchen with the flashlight and the thunder flashes briefly, look in the top left corner of the room, [[LightningReveal Jason's standing behind him all this time, waiting.]]

* FingerWag: Dr. Crews does this to Tina when he is convincing her that he cares about her well-being.

* KillItWithFire: When Tina confronts Jason in the cabin basement, she uses her powers to dose him with gasoline and [[ManOnFire set him on fire]]. This somehow causes the whole house [[StuffBlowingUp blow up]] too.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Tina has a neat one for when she uses her powers.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Tina's first attempt to revive her father is what instead causes Jason to be freed from the rock Tommy chained him to.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Tina barely has any control over her powers and they always react horribly whenever she becomes stressed. When Jason kills her mother, she gets so pissed that she instead gets near-perfect mastery over them.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: While stoned, the aspiring scifi-writer Eddie comes up with brilliant idea:

* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: [[spoiler: Tina manages to temporarily revive her father to drag Jason back down to the lake]].

* PreviouslyOn: The film starts off on a quick recap of ''Jason Lives''.

* StrictlyFormula: This was the last entry in the original continuity to largely follow the standard ''Friday the 13th'' formula, with all the following entries changing the setting and/or Jason's nature. In fact, the storyline is essentially a re-run of ''The Final Chapter'', only with Jason now as a zombie, and Tommy and his family swapped out for Tina.

----

* RecycledInSpace: Not literally of course ([[Film/JasonX that would come later]]), but the storyline is essentially a re-run of ''The Final Chapter'', only with Jason now as a zombie, and Tommy and his family swapped out for Tina.

* EyeAwaken: After Tina drops Jason in the basement, the camera close on his face and he opens his eye.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: The nice couples have good time with each other, while Melissa has to resort for unfulfilling tryst with Eddie, hoping to make Nick jealous.

* YourHeadAsplode: More crushed, but Ben's death. ''Much more worse'' in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEaZxlagqaA workprint version]], crushed to the size of a walnut.
