Trivia:

  • The highest grossing 3D movie of all time.
     
  • Richard Brooker was chosen as Jason simply because Steve Miner needed a big man for the role.
     
  • Steve Miner makes a cameo as the newscaster.
     
  • Dana Kimmell frequently asked Frank Mancuso Jr. to remove some of the gore and nudity that the original script included.
     
  • Not including the scenes from "Part 2," this is the only "Friday the 13th" film when none of the characters actually say the name "Jason."
