10 Great Performances Lost In Unwatchable Movies

10. Steven Williams (Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday)

In Jason Goes To Hell, the Crystal Lake slasher is blown to bits during the opening credits and exists from then onwards as a body-swapping spirit, like a mute version of the Denzel Washington movie Fallen.

The worst of the Friday The 13th movies (no mean feat) is redeemed only by the appearance of Steven Williams as kooky bounty hunter Creighton Duke. Hot on the trail of Jason, Duke takes to town in style, bedecked in a stetson and breaking fingers as he goes.

An alternate, good, version of Jason Goes To Hell would have had Creighton Duke vs Jason as its main event (see the use of Dennis Hopper or Ken Foree in the Leatherface movies), but, well, Jason Goes To Hell is not a good movie.

As it is, Steven Williams's brilliant, charismatic and fun bounty hunter is wasted in a paltry handful of scenes, spending most of his time in jail before being ignominiously dispatched with a hug from a resurrected Jason. A shame.
