25 WTF Moments From Friday The 13th Films
12. The Smiley Face Of Death - Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
Now that Jason is back on the hunt, he wastes no time getting back to his old murderous ways.
In the woods, Jason happens upon a corporate paintball game. Jason grabs one of the paintballer's arm and throws him into a tree. The first part is cool, but having the guys face slide away to reveal a well rounded smiley face carved into the tree?
Fans seemed to appreciate the self referential humor littered throughout the run-time of Jason Lives as well as the more lighthearted approach to the formulaic material. However, that type of humor was something not yet seen in the films prior, and as such, fans were initially not too happy with what was perceived to be a parody of Jason Voorhees and the movies themselves. And this death scene is one gag that makes many fans cringe to this day.
