10 Things You Didn't Know About Jason Voorhees

9. Jason's Fate Will Be Settled....In Mortal Kombat!

Speaking of Imposter Jason, when Jason's appearance in Mortal Kombat X was announced in March 2015, fans quickly realized that the video game wasn’t afraid to reference Part 5. Whenever he fights another Jason, the imposter wears – you guessed it – a hockey mask adorned with blue triangles.

The game makes several other references to the movies, notably giving Jason a drowning skill move, even though it appears to contradict Freddy Vs Jason’s assertion that the character remains terrified of water. One of his opponents in the game likes to quip “Back to hell you go!”, which is clearly intended as a reference to Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday.

Mortal Kombat X also gives Jason a pretty cool intro. If you choose Player One, you’re introduced to Jason carrying a dead camper with a machete stuck in her forehead. When he notices his opponent, he rips out the machete and prepares to fight (female gamers should chose Player Two, which features a male camper with a Bowie knife stuck in his throat).
