10 Movie Scenes Actors Refused To Shoot
4. Kane Hodder Refused To Kick A Dog - Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
Kane Hodder is by far the most-recognised performer to play Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th franchise, having appeared in four of the series' movies and bringing the most distinct physicality to the character.
Hodder has also expressed an intense passion for Jason ever since the beginning, such that when he was shooting Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, he refused to film a scene where Jason violently kicks a dog to stop it barking at him.
Hodder's rationale was that Jason would never hurt a dog and that his beef was strictly with people, so the scene in question was swiftly dropped.
The irony of Hodder being totally cool with slaughtering dozens of defenseless saps but not kicking a single dog, perhaps not even to death, is undeniably hilarious, though.
