Trivia
There was allegedly a comic book that bridged the gap between Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) and this film. It followed Jason after he was dipped in toxic waste in a New York City sewer, walked his way back to Crystal Lake. It also supposedly explains why the FBI has a task force specifically for Jason, but producer Sean S. Cunningham and director Adam Marcus have stated that they made Jason Goes to Hell as a follow-up to the original Friday the 13th (1980), and mostly ignored everything from Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) to Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989).

Goofs
(at around 1h 9 mins) When Jessica first picks up the note out of the box crib, it says "I have what you want...", when Steven reads the note, it says "I have your baby..."

Quotes
Robert Campbell: I'm going to say a couple of words to you and I want you to say the first thing that comes into your mind.
Creighton Duke: Okay.
Robert Campbell: Jason Voorhees.
Creighton Duke: That makes me think of a little girl in a pink dress sticking a hot dog through a doughnut.

Crazy credits

Probably not the send-out fans were hoping for but it does take a cool twist

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday is (supposedly) the last Friday the 13th chapter... FBI agents hunt down and destroy Jason at Crystal Lake - but Jason has the ability to possess other people's bodies and continues his bloodbath.

I don't think this would be a favourite of the fans - it is quite corny, Jason doesn't feature a lot in the movie... but I think the movie half-way through takes a turn for the better. Instead of being another mindless slasher - the movie goes all John Woo with some cool gun fights and slow motion camera. It was like the director had watched a couple of John Woo films for the first time half-way through shooting the movie and decides... "it would be cool to use this stuff in this movie"!

The "Invasion of the Body Snatcher" plot doesn't work - but I think the stylish gun battles redeem this film somewhat. Sort of recommended!
