10 Horror Movies That Missed Out The Money Shot

No disprespect to Ken Kirzinger or the admittedly fun Freddy vs. Jason, but the main money shot people wanted to see when these two behemoths of horror clashed, was Robert Englund's Freddy Krueger squaring off against Kane Hodder's Jason Voorhees.

By the time the long-rumoured Freddy vs. Jason finally entered production in 2002, Hodder had become the Jason to Friday the 13th fans. After six different actors played Voorhees in the prior six films, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood saw Kane embark on a run of four consecutive movies playing this most iconic of horror characters.

Of course, Robert Englund had by this point played Freddy in seven movies and a TV series, and so fans presumed - and eagerly anticipated - seeing Englund's Krueger and Hodder's Jason butting heads in Ronny Yu's 2003 picture.

Despite receiving the film's script and meeting with Yu, Kane Hodder was bafflingly left out in the cold by the time Freddy vs. Jason started shooting. With the director deciding he wanted a taller actor for the role - Hodder being 6'3" - Yu brought in 6'5" Kirzinger to fight Englund's 5'9" Freddy.

With that, regardless of how enjoyable elements of the movie are, fans were left with a bad taste in the mouth at being deprived of seeing the definitive Jason Voorhees stepping up to take on Freddy Krueger.

Fortunately, Hodder and Englund would get to briefly work together years later in the short-lived Fear Clinic series of 2009.
