MISTAKE

but not before he compromises the cryogenic chamber by tearing the door with his machete, both wounding her and forcing the room to seal her in with him.

Presumably this is about Rowan, but probably due to bad editing it doesn't mention who 'her' is at all. Could somebody who has seen the film change this??? Saccerzd 19:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

X stands for "ex" or 10

Non native English people can ask if Jason X stands fpor Jason Ex or Jason 10. It would be good if it be saind in the text.

Well X rly means 10 because its like a pun cuz its the tenth movie so they called it Jason X --The Dark Lord of Wiki 14:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comics?

A comic furthers this ending into a new tale starting with the ending of the movie where the teen couple goes to investigate.
There is now a comic continuing the fall of Jason onto earth only to be investigated by two teens.

I removed the two bits above because they were kind of clumisly tacked onto the story and trivia sections. I would like to polish them up and better integrate them into the article, but I know nothing about them. The film series site mentions them, but there is no detail, and doesn't make specific mention of continuing directly where the film ends as the contributor puts focus on; they just seem to be a simple continuation as per the new novels. It maybe worth mentioning, but at the least, it needs to be better done, and by someone who's read them. --Bacteria 18:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added some detail on the novels and comics as part of an Other Media section. It briefly explains the publishing history and that they are both separate continuations of the continuity setup by the film. Detailed plots are not really need for them though. That could be given if they had their own entries. For now though, all that's really needed is recognition of their existance. JohnBWatt

Paradox?

When the team of students (and the teacher guy) are examining the abandoned cryo facility, the cyborg chick states that the freezing chamber was manufactured in, quote, "2010". How, then, is it that in the 2455 (as stated in the film), that she has been frozen for 455 years? (For the mathematically inept,=2000, not 2010). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.87.40 (talk • contribs)

Actually, that would be a continuity error, not a paradox. A paradox would have been if Jason had gone back in time and killed the inventor of the cryogenic chamber, thus preventing himself being frozen. Not that he'd notice, probably.. -J Salem Gourley —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.88.67.230 (talk • contribs)

Always sign with 4 tildes (~). As for your "paradox," the chamber could have been manufactured in 2010, and the one Jason was frozen in could have been built earlier. It just means they started to manufacture them in 2010, when the research facility that kept Jason could have had a prototype. It doesn't matter, seeing as the entire movie has continuity errors in almost every facet, especially timeline. Bignole 16:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

J Salem Gourley is correct. It's simply an error. The correct amount of time is 445 years, not 455. Mike1981 14:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

longer

doesn't it seem like the people in this movie live a little longer when attacked by jason than in the other 9 movies--74.130.7.136 23:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jason X is a Comedy!

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention that the film is a full-on comedy and parody of the earlier "Jason" films and the slasher film genre in general.

Especially funny scenes were:

Jason claims his first "victim" while still frozen solid! The guy gets his arm chopped off, and then whines about it while carrying his severed arm, which gets re-attached, no problem.

The doctor asking Jason: "Oh, would you like your machete back?"

It is only the prospect of love/sexual favors that inspires the android girl to screw up her gumption to kick Jason's butt.

Jason gets beat to pieces by a hot girl! Even if it is an android girl.

Jason massively ups his per-movie body count by simultaneously killing thousands of people during the spaceship collision.

And, for the slasher-flick traditionalists, the movie ends with Jason re-entering atmosphere close to his next presumed victims--a young couple making out in a convertible!

I'm pretty sure the movie wasn't made as a comedy, but it is pretty funny! Woknam66 (talk) 04:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All horror films are comic parodies of all previous horror films 86.26.14.250 (talk) 23:29, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pitch

"The film was conceived by Todd Farmer and was the only pitch he gave to the studio for the movie"

Err, what? What was the only pitch? The movie was the only pitch for the movie? There must be a section missing from that sentence... 86.26.14.250 (talk) 23:29, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2001

Going to need a source for this film being released in 2001. The American Film Institute only notes of the New York and LA premiers here in 2002. So where does this German opening in 2001 come from? Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:55, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think they talk about it in Peter Bracke's book. I'll go recheck it later and find out. I know that it sat on the shelf for a year after being filmed. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 21:01, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That would be handy! Thank you! On further searching, I found this from The Ghosts of Internets past. Mind you, it says nothing about a premiere, and I've found other sections of the site stating when other films had been screened there, but no mention of Jason X, so i'm a little hesitant. Nice to run into you again Bignole! Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:10, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely! This may be where the thought process started. IMDb has the German film festival listed as the first premiere. I'll see if I can find something better. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 21:13, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I saw that, but I can not really find any secondary sources for it. So we'll have to find something. Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:04, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I found one for Spain in David Grove's book. Nothing in Bracke's (which is interesting, because I found him to be more detailed in his coverage). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 14:33, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is a user who is continuing to remove the earlier 2001 release without reasoning in the infobox and article. Lets keep an eye out so we can make sure it maintains its 2001 release date as BigNole has generously dug up that information. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
