History Film / FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives

* GraveRobbing: Oh Tommy, you really should have let the dead rest in peace.

* HollywoodDarkness

** As per usual Jason arms himself and kills people with anything that he can use to cause bloody bodily harm.
** Ironically his first weapon is a wrought iron fence spear that Tommy previously used to impale his corpse at the start of the film.

** The first two victims were killed when Tommy was in police custody, even the most inept coroner would’ve found that out during the autopsy.

* TheAlcoholic: Martin, the cemetery caretaker always drinking a bottle of whiskey as he looks after the cemetery and even when he's working.

* AnArmAndALeg: As Jason ambushes Burt, he not only steals his machete but also his arm as well. We get a pretty good gag of the ripped off arm being raised up alongside the machete it was gripping with Jason looking at it as well.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Normally Jason does quick kills to intruders at Camp Crystal Lake. Even when someone shoots him he shrugs it off. However he was especially pissed when Roy shot him in the chest with a paintball gun. He even takes a moment, [[JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife to stare at the stain before chasing him.]] Later on we find out that Roy was found [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill torn apart limb from limb]].

* AssholeVictim: Downplayed for Sheriff Mike Garris, who is a dick towards Tommy and would have qualified as the most cathartic vicim on Jason's body count, but his final actions before his death were PetTheDog moments which shows he is a FriendToAllChildren and he did go out trying to stop Jason with his death doubling as a HeroicSacrifice and a DyingMomentOfAwesome. Unlike most characters who bordered on this trope in the films, Garris is so far considered the [[ALighterShadeOfBlack least terrible]] due to him being overall a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* CassandraTruth: Tommy's past life in institutions is an obstruction to anyone to believe his claims of Jason's recent revival.

* EyeAwaken: When Jason's corpse is struck by lightning, the audience gets a close-up of his eye opening.

* FlashbackEcho: When Tommy sees Jason's corpse in his open grave , he flashbacks to the events of ''[[Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter The Final Chapter]]'', grabs a pole and starts impaling Jason in rage.

* HardToLightFire: Tommy's attempt to light newly-reanimated Jason ablaze fails when, having doused the walking corpse in gasoline, he can't get a match to stay lit in the rain.

* HostileWeather: There's thunder and lightning in the opening, which gives way to a torrential rain that prevents Tommy from immolating the newly revived Jason.
* IShallTauntYou: Tommy resorts to schoolyard insults to try and lure Jason into the Crystal Lake to enact his plan.

* LaserSight: Sheriff Garris's top deputy Rick Cologne has an old laser scope mounted on revolver.

* LighterAndSofter: ''Part VI'' is a little less mean spirited and more of an AffectionateParody of the series and slasher films in general. It is also the only film in the series not to have any nudity. Also, Garris who fulfills the installment's role as the resident {{Jerkass}} and seemingly an AssholeVictim of Jason's body count actually come across as the [[ALighterShadeOfBlack least terrible compared to others in the film series]] due to his own [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold redeeming qualities]], his mostly [[JerkassHasAPoint justified reasons behind his attitude and bias]], also simultaneously fulfilling the installment's role as the BigGood and actually being one of the film's protagonists next to Tommy and his daughter Megan.

* PaintballEpisode: Jason runs into bunch of office workers playing paintball in the woods. He kills them.
* PapaWolf: Sheriff Garris goes into this mode when Jason threatens his daughter Megan, pounding Jason's head with a rock while shouting "''NOT HER!''".

* TheAlcoholic: Martin, the cemetery caretaker.

* AnArmAndALeg: Jason rips off Burt's arm when he takes his machete.
** He also hacked Roy to pieces offscreen.

* IShallTauntYou: Tommy resorts to this to lure Jason into the Crystal Lake.

* LaserSight: Sheriff Garris's top deputy Rick has a laser scope on his revolver.

* NeckSnap: Sissy dies when Jason grabs her through an open window and twists her head around so much [[OffWithHisHead that it comes off]].

* OffWithHisHead: There's a ''triple'' decapitation.

* ProductPlacement: The woman Jason spears early in the film tries to buy him off with the contents of her wallet. An American Express card falls from her hand as she dies, and the camera lingers on it a lot longer than the scene probably merits. Word of God says that director Tom [=McLaughlin=] was hoping the movie would generate a call-and-response cult, and he added the extra time in hopes that fans would take the opportunity to shout "Don't leave home without it," American Express' then-famous advertising slogan.

* RabidCop: Sheriff Mike Garris and his adjutant Rick Cologne are this towards Tommy.

* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Parodied in the opening sequence.

* SexSignalsDeath: Cort and Nikki.

** There's a store named [[Creator/BorisKarloff Karloff's General Merchandise]], highlighting Jason's {{Frankenstein|sMonster}}ian resurrection.
** Similarly, the road the camp is on is named "Cunningham" and a neighboring town is mentioned called "[[Creator/JohnCarpenter Carpenter]]"

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Both men and women are prone to pratfalls.

''Jason Lives'' is the sixth film in the ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' film franchise.

* LargeHam: Sheriff Garris and Deputy Rick Cologne are maybe {{Main/Jerkass}} {{Rabid Cop}}s, but are nonetheless obnoxiously amusing with their tongue-in-the-cheek zingers. Both their actors acting class CoolTeacher David Kagan and Vincent Guastaferro are having a blast in their roles.

* DeathBySex: Cort and Nikki.
** {{Subverted}} with [[spoiler: Megan and Paula, as the sexually active Megan is one of the only survivors while the virginal Paula gets the most gruesome death of the movie]].

->''"I went to go cremate Jason [[{{Understatement}} but I fucked up!]]"''

* DeathByIrony: "Darling, you're gonna be the death of me. Yeah, but what a way to go!" says Martin to his empty bottle. Then he throws it away, Jason grabs it, breaks it and [[GrievousBottleyHarm stabs him with it]].

* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Jason is surprised when he accidentally rips off Burt's arm when he throws him into a tree branch.

* FailedASpotCheck: The first two victims were killed when Tommy was in police custody, even the most inept coroner would’ve found that out during the autopsy.

* HostileWeather: There's thunder and lightning in the opening.

* InstantThunder

** In fact, Tommy is more or less responsible for every kill Jason racks up for the rest of the series, as prior to his unfortunate intervention, Jason was very much mortal (though admittedly MadeOfIron), and his interference turns Jason into the zombie we know and love.

* PapaWolf: Sheriff Garris goes into this mode when Jason threatens his daughter Megan.

* SummerCampy: This film marks the '''only''' time in the franchise that Camp Crystal Lake managed to successfully re-open.

* WouldntHurtAChild: Jason Voorhees, of all people. Even though he kills several people over the course of the film, including the camp counselors, when he's in a cabin filled with sleeping kids, he doesn't lift a finger or harm them in any way, even the one who actually wakes up and sees him. [[spoiler: This conflicts with Friday the 13th Pt. 4, when Jason attacks a young Tommy.]]

-->'''Garris''': [[AngerBornOfWorry With extreme care, asshole!]] [[AdultFear If that kid is with her, there's every good chance he'll do something crazy!]]\\

* AdultFear: Jason walks into a cabin with sleeping children in it. He does no harm...but one little girl is awake and sees him and lets out a whimper, making him turn to face her. And when he leans in closer, she makes a quiet prayer before Jason hears the police and walks away. She is still terrified when she sees he's gone.

** In fact, Tommy is more-or-less responsible for every kill Jason racks up for the rest of the series, as prior to his unfortunate intervention, Jason was very much mortal (though admittedly MadeOfIron), and his interference turns Jason into the zombie we know and love.

* HorrorDoesntSettleForSimpleTuesday: Once again, it's Friday the 13th.

* GoryDiscretionShot: Paula's death and mutilation.

* RealityEnsues: The reason why the Sheriff is so hard on Tommy is because the boy has a past of mental illness from his earlier encounters with Jason and the first thing Tommy did was yell that he somehow resurrected a deceased serial killer and then attempts [[TooDumbToLive to steal a gun]] when the police refuse to listen to him, getting himself arrested. Later, when Sheriff decides to just kick Tommy out of town instead of imprisoning him, Tommy plows through a graveyard in an attempt to show the police that Jason's gone. We all know what's going on, but to the police, they're dealing with a possibly schizophrenic nut job who's having a breakdown and is going to get somebody hurt.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, Sheriff Garris is a RabidCop jerk to Tommy, but he [[PapaWolf deeply cares for his daughter]] and is shown to be [[FriendToAllChildren friendly to children at the camp]].

* BigGood: Despite being opposed to TheHero Tommy, Sheriff Garris ironically is the closest that the sixth installment has with his beating of Jason before being added to the body count fully confirming it.

* FriendToAllChildren: Officer Pappas and [[PetTheDog even]] [[RabidCop Garris]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold of all people]] are this towards the camp's children.
