Ken Kirzinger Puns

NEW MAN BEHIND THE MASK

https://i.redd.it/ad7yihqo2dtz.jpg

Not a whole lot has changed since the last time Ken Kirzinger put on the hockey mask and played Jason Voorhees.

“It was actually pretty much the same,” chuckles stuntman/actor Ken Kirzinger as he settles into a chair and tries to avoid the rain during a frigid and uncomfortable night of lakeside lensing for ***’FREDDY VS. JASON’***. “On ’FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN’, it was always a lot of dark and cold nights. So this does not come as too much of a surprise.”

But there is one major difference, On ***’FRIDAY PART VIII’***, Kirzinger was the stunt coordinator and double for then reigning Jason Kane Hodder. For ***’FREDDY VS. JASON’***, Kirzinger has become the whole enchilada, the big cheese…the man in the hockey mask.

But as this night proves, the new Jason is pretty much the same as the old Jason. In the next hours, Kirzinger will go monster-a-monster with Freddy Krueger, get up close and personal with fire and water and enact a particularly nasty Camp Crystal Lake slaying. “Yes, Jason definitely kills,”, says the good-natured Kirzinger. “But I don’t want to give it all away. Let’s just say that every Jason movie has had its unique kills, and this won’t be any different. I can tell you this much: Jason won’t just be killing with a machete, but it will be a very real part of this movie and the things that Jason does.”

Kirzinger, who stands a decidedly Jason-like 6 feet 5 inches, came to wear the mask through a typically circuitous route. “Originally, I interviewed for the stunt coordinator on ’FREDDY VS. JASON’”, he recalls. But when they looked at my résumé, they saw that I had not only been the stunt coordinator on ’FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII, but that I had also doubled Kane in a few scenes. Executive producer Doug Curtis took notice of that and filed it away in the back of his mind. So for awhile I was thinking that maybe I had a shot at Jason. But they went ahead and auditioned a large number of people in Los Angeles and Vancouver. From what I was given to understand, they were looking for somebody with a thinner build than me”

*As the tryouts continued, the 44-year-old Kirzinger remained very much a da

I have always loved his portrayal of Jason. I understand the opinion though is pretty mixed and for good reason (How they handled casting was insulting to Hodder). But, I always felt Jason looked amazing in FvJ. His height really accented Freddy' s and I thought it made the overall fight more appealing.

What're your thoughts though? I'd like to hear them from fellow Friday fans.

97 minutes. They really pushed a Jason-sized peg through a Freddy-sized hole with this one, but to everyone’s credit they did at least deliver on a sweet fight between the two baddies.

The first 30-minutes was rough for me. I don’t want to say I was going to turn it off, but it was all very safe, reductive choices for the characters and I was already feeling bored. The basic premise is that Freddy Kruger is a nightmare who can’t exist if people stop thinking about him. He’s lost all his power so needs to find a nightmarish figure who can start some shit on Elm Street so people will think it’s the Kruger-nator and his strength will level up.

So he finds Jason and tricks him into doing his bidding. Of course he underestimates the blood lust from Mr. Voorhees, so they start bickering over who gets the kills and their playful banter quickly descends into a fight to the death. The final fight is pretty sweet, and stays brutal and gory while allowing the characters to stay true to themselves. That’s the good.

Where this movie almost falls apart is the terrible dialog. Probably the worst in a franchise not exactly known for its prose. There’s a scene I’m thinking of in particular where a bunch of high schoolers are sitting around a table with a cop trying to deduce what’s going on in their town. They somehow get to “Freddy’s back and using Jason Voorhees as his puppet” in about 90 seconds. Oh, and a nitpick but Jason has blood in this film and that was a central plot point of Part 9 is the fact that he specifically did not have blood just an oozy black gook.

Almost 4 times the budget in global ticket sales, so people showed up to watch Voorhees and Kruger duel it out. Even though it was a mediocre entry franchise, there was enough money made here t

Who doesn’t like the thought of some of their favorite bad guys fighting each other? Michael Meyers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Chucky, and the list can go on and on. Then add on the teaser that we might get a Freddy vs Jason at the end of Jason Goes to Hell (1993). And you get an audience foaming at the mouth. It took a decade, but we finally get it with Freddy vs Jason.

Released: Aug 15, 2003

Writer: Wes Craven, Victor Miller, Damian Shannon
Runtime: 97 mins
Actors: Robert England, Ken Kirzinger, Kelly Rowland

PLOT

He may get the blood, but I'll get the glory, and that fear is my ticket home.-Freddy Krueger

Everyone has forgotten about Freddy so he is powerless. But now he found a way to resurrect Crystal Lakes serial killer Jason Voorhees. Jason will kill so that people will remember Freddy and he can return with all his powers. But things don’t go as planned when Jason doesn’t want to stop killing. The teens have repressed their memories (thanks to the adults in town) of Freddy, and they are not prepared for him or his new tool of terror, Jason Voorhees.

MY THOUGHTS

Welcome to my nightmare.-Freddy Krueger

I found the plot a pretty interesting idea. If you make the youth forget about Freddy, then it should make Freddy powerless. So, find someone else to stir things up so Freddy can insinuate himself back into this reality. Who better than Jason Voorhees? I know there are some issues with some of the plot ideas like why is Jason now scared of water? I can see why he would be but in some of the movies he has killed teens from the water so he’s not really scared of it. Also, there are some cringy scenes (like the whole pinballing of Jason at one point). And some might find the Freddy caterpillar cringeworthy. Though I actually liked the drug induced scene. Also, the ending is kind of vague of who won.

As far as the kills, Freddy has the least kills of any of his movies. He basically has one kill and Jason has the majority of them. One of my favorites is douchebag Trey’s death. Ouch! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. I also felt a little bad for poor Charlie. Trying to comfort Kia and get her to find help. He dies alone. I thought Deputy Stubbs' death was lame and his character deserved better.

Here is some gee whiz information I found out about the movie:

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

Once you get over the fact Kane got dumped, I thought he was very good.

If they had made Freddy vs Jason vs Ash do you think Ken Kirzinger would have returned as Jason or would Kane Hodder reprise the role?? Thoughts??
