Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (Rob Hedden, 1989)

This was a godawful movie, precious little of which takes place in Manhattan and I bet most of the Manhattan scenes were filmed in Vancouver. The rest takes places on an extremely confusing high school graduation party ship-not-boat. As with Freddy, what the hell does Jason want at this point?? It's a question that becomes even more baffling when he gets to Manhattan. He chases the principals through several subway cars but ignores the dozens of people on board. Huh? BUT. The film gets points for one shot alone. Jason breaks through the wall of a diner and one woman looks more pissed than scared as if she's perturbed that he interrupted her anecdote. A classic NYC moment!
