eiker_ir Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 most surely release date: January 13th Fangoria reported the January 13th date, but they took it out of their site. Details will probably be announced within this month, i've read: - 2 disc set! - Deleted scenes - Commentary with Yu - Commentary with Englund & Ken! - Documentaries on both franchises - More i hope this is New Line, my favorite studio for DVDs, so i'm sure this will be excellent. Can't wait! my favorite movie ever! weeeeeee
Guest Askewniverse Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 I was one of the few people who actually bought Jason X, so I'll definitely be picking this up. New Line's Platinum Series DVDs usually kick ass.
eiker_ir Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 i too have Jason X another thing, some of the specs i gave were given by Ronnie Yu in an interview, he was the one who mentioned the commentary with Englund and Kirzinger(Sp?)
Guest El Satanico Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 um...ok It's a recent film being released in the now standard for any decent release 2-disc format. Why on earth are you treating it as some shocking news about a old out of print movie getting it's first major Video release in 10 years.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 yeah, I got Jason X for 5 bucks. Worth it for the few scenes of humor. I want this now! I never saw any of their movies til this one, but I liked it a lot. I bought Jason X (got it at the right price) and the first Nightmare since, and I watched that Nightmare yesterday... good stuff. I originally heard February, but glad it may be sooner!
Corey_Lazarus Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Regardless, I loved this movie, my favorite film from BOTH series, so I'll snag it ASAP. Personally, I thought they would have tried to rush it for a Halloween release, but if 1/13 is a Friday, it makes more sense.

And like Lazarus said it's probably my favorite from both series.
Nighthawk Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Yes, it's that good. It's in my top 5 of all time and I watch a lotta movies. Best of both series for sure.
Guest wrestlingbs Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Probably the best horror movie I've seen this year, not for the scares but for the great battle scenes. I'm definitly gonna rent it.
Slickster Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Regardless, I loved this movie, my favorite film from BOTH series, so I'll snag it ASAP. Personally, I thought they would have tried to rush it for a Halloween release, but if 1/13 is a Friday, it makes more sense. It's still being premiered in other parts of the world.
NoCalMike Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 I wish it was out sooner, but hey, sounds great.
Blue Bacchus Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 I've never seen either franchise before and I thought that Freddy vs Jason was great. I liked how they introduced the characters backstorys to the non-initiated.
Guest EQ Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Yeah, the backstory helped for me too. I'd only seen 2 Freddy movies (no Jason's) before seeing FvJ.
gWIL Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 This movie is WAY overrated, and I bought Jason X, which I think was was better this, and Cabin Fever and 28 Days Later were way better.
Guest El Satanico Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Jason X was cheesy fun, but in no way was it better than FvsJ. 28 Days Later was a completely different type of movie, than FvsJ was. Therefore you shouldn't be trying to compare them to each other.
Corey_Lazarus Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Exactly. 28 Days Later was a serious film, an homage to Romero's work (specifically The Crazies and Day Of The Dead). Freddy vs. Jason was the histories of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees thrown together, tripping on acid, and with kung-fu.
Betty Houle Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 It's actually that good? No. It was a lot of fun but that's about it.
Corey_Lazarus Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Well, considering it also made perfect sense in the series, and has a nice little psychological aspect to it, as well as a very, VERY solid script.
