I noticed something the last time I watched Part 3: You can see the boom mic's shadow on the van at the beginning. It's in the scene where they are picking up Vera if I remember correctly.
I noticed it too during the last F13th marathon we had in the chat. It never really occurred to me before but now it's hard not to notice it now. |

Isn't there something where you can see something in the windshield of the VW when Shelley and Vera are at the store? Or am I confusing something? |

Yeah you can see it clear as day on the side of the van before they get out. It's not as bad as one scene in Trick or Treat from 1986, the mic drops into frame above someone's head for a good 10 seconds before picking back up. I've never seen anything like it. |

well film mistakes like that arent really that unusual for 1980s slasher films. And it gives them a certain charme doesnt it?
Well okay Friday the 13th Part 3. A movie that is pretty infamous here in germany (which ofc only adds to its flair) and was not so easy to come by since its banned over here (Even in a more censored version than the R-rated version). Thank god for my local DVD-store that imports movies from Austria, switzerland, UK etc.^^
Overall Friday 3 is another great entry in the series that fits very much into it. You have the creepy atmosphere (especially in the last 30 minutes), the great Manfredini music (even though the opening theme is too disco and cheesy which doesnt really work as well as the opening music in Part 1 and 2), some really nasty kills and ofc you have the iconic moment of Jason finally stepping out of that barn with the hockey mask, which is a landmark moment for the series. And Jason just looks so cool in the mask especially after you have seen him in Part 2 only with the bag it really becomes this "yes! finally!" moment. while the kills of course have been once again trimmed down by the MPAA and Paramount for the R rated version they are more brutal and bloody then in Part 2.
But Part 3 does have some downsides. The 3D gimmick is used way too over the top and is so obvious and somewhat annoying if you watch it in 2D. The movie has some unnecessary lengths between the kills of the bikers and when Jason gets the mask. and the final girl Chris really doesnt have the quality of Alice or Ginny and often really was just whiny and annoying. her boy toy Rick wasnt any better. I didnt like that guy at all. Also the whole young adult cast of Part 3 wasnt very likable (except for Chuck and Debbie, I really liked them. especially Chuck was a funny guy. "Heavy shiiiit" - hahaha). Certainly not as good as the main cast of Parts 1 and 2. But since you are rooting for Jason anyway that makes their deaths all the more enjoyable. Part 3 really started this tradition of practically cheering at the screen when Jason kills them, while in Part 1 and 2 even though you love the death scenes and Jason and Mrs. Voorhees you are not really cheering them on during the kills like they are heroes. That to me started with Part 3. Because by that time Jason becomes that really cool badass killer and the main cast is mostly so silly and annoying that you just love seeing them get it real good.
I watched the film just last night again as part of my current F13 DVD marathon and I really smiled at the scene where Chris tries to run Jason over and he jumps out of the way. Undead Jason would never ever do that, it was another example of how much Jason has evolved since these early days and its kind of cool of seeing him still as this human who can get hurt and is not invincible, knowing what he becomes later on. And you cant help but smile when you see that. the good old early human days of jason 
Overall Part 3 is a cool film with great kills, atmosphere and for the first time the hockey mask. Even though the main cast isnt all too likable (especially the final girl Chris) especially compared to previous maincasts and the movie has some lengths that makes the movie only slightly less good than Part 1 and 2. Still a very cool Friday the 13th film and the one where the "real" Jason is born.

A few comments about Friday #3.
Probably 99% of the people on this forum have never seen Friday #3 in it's original 3D format which was linear polarized. The 3D effects seen on the DVD and Blu Ray 3D versions are total CRAP. So I get that a lot of fans don't like the 3D effects. Understood. If you could see it in way it was screened in 1982 I would suggest you might change your opinion.
Secondly, the acting IS not good.
Third, let's not forget that Friday 3 is responsible for the "beginning" of the now famous hockey mask. Let's give the film the credit it's due.
And finally, despite the bad acting, horrible anaglyph 3D releases (dvd/blu ray) it's still an important installment to the Friday story line.

Ditto HorrorNut... we need to remember to view things within their proper context. So, for 1982 the linear polarized 3D effects were cutting edge.

Having said all of the above I still think the anagyph gives us some of idea of how it might have looked in it's original form (awful anaglyph colouring aside) and so it is now my default viewing option. I like part 3.

And you're absolutely correct Scott. For the most part anaglyph is the only way the majority of people will ever see Friday part 3 in 3D. It is shown in it's original format at conventions and festivals all over the country and some folks will be able to attend those screenings. As a film collector I am very fortunate to own an original print of Friday 3 in 3D. I'm happy with the Blu Rays of Friday 1 & 2 and if others are released I'll be purchasing them as well. But the only way to see Friday 3 is as it was released in 1982. |

I just watched this yesterday and I could've sworn that the deluxe edition dvd or from the Crystal Lake to Manhatten boxed set, had the alternate ending for pt.3 where Chris gets decapitated by Jason? I've read the alterqante version in the novel but Idk why I thought I actually saw this ending?
