25 WTF Moments From Friday The 13th Films
18. Hes killing me! - Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter
In The Final Chapter, Rob is on the hunt for Jason to avenge the death of his sister from the previous film. But, naturally, it is he who meets his demise. Robs death was supposed to be one of the most tense and shocking moments in the film series, but is ultimately best remembered for its hilarity, as his response to Jasons knife repeatedly entering his body is to scream, Hes killing me! Hes killing me!
Who would respond like that? Well, as it turns out the scene was inspired by a newspaper article director Joseph Zito read about a stabbing incident on a New York City street in which the victim screamed, Please stop hurting me, please stop killing me! yet no one nearby intervened or called the police.
It was supposed to be a gut-wrenching moment, but instead one can't help but laugh, perhaps imagining what it would be like if every F13 victim provided play-by-play commentary for their own death scenes.
