Trivia:
  • The original poster for the film featured Jason ripping through an "I Love NY" poster. However, the poster was dropped following a complaint from the New York Tourism Committee.
     
  • The prologue of the film foreshadows all the places that Jason will chase the teenagers: downtown with the gang members, the diner, the alley with the drug addicts, and the subway.
     
  • Fred Mollin wrote the original music for this film, as he did for Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.
     
  • The last third of the movie is set in Manhattan; however, the only scenes that were actually filmed in Manhattan were the scenes in Times Square. It took three days of shooting to film them.
