Do not let the title of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter fool you. It was followed up by six sequels, a crossover, and a remake. This film was the fourth entry in the iconic series revolving around the hockey-mask-wearing machete-wielding mad man, Jason Voorhees.

Even though Jason died at the end of Friday the 13th Part III, The Final Chapter opens with the unstoppable zombie breaking out of the morgue and venturing back to Camp Crystal Lake. After noticing a group of teenagers in a nearby cabin, he decides to make them his latest victims because... well, he doesn't really need a reason at this point.

One of the teens is Jimmy - a timid kid played by Crispin Glover. Even though he doesn't do much, his outrageous dance moves have become the stuff of legends.

One year later, Crispin Glover became immortalised as George McFly in Back to the Future. However, Glover looks so different in both movies, the average viewer didn't notice the guy with the crazy dance in Friday the 13th is the same actor who playing Marty McFly's father.
