Friday The 13th: 10 Funniest Jason Voorhees Kills
6. The Eye-Pop
Friday the 13th Part III is the definition of a walking, talking gimmick. Apart from giving Jason his famous hockey mask, the movie rehashes the same old formula from the previous instalments in the franchise but with the all-new 3D filming effect.
This format is rammed down the camera throughout the film, with popcorn being popped, blunts being passed about and harpoons being launched at the audience relentlessly. The 3D effect is used in a number of the film's kills, however the death of Rick is undoubtedly the funniest use of it in Part III.
With the power out at Higgins Haven, final girl Chris and her boyfriend Rick are separated with the latter going outside to 'check on what's going on out there', just like every normal human does. When Chris goes outside to find him, Rick is then shown just out of shot being attacked by Jason.
Rick is then picked up by his head by Jason, who squeezes him so hard his right eye pops out of its socket and flies towards the camera. The kill is perhaps the most memorable of the film, but its fake head practical effect and gimmicky 3D effect also makes it one of the funniest the franchise has ever produced.
