Friday The 13th: 10 Funniest Jason Voorhees Kills
5. Where Did All Those Stairs Come From?
Mark is introduced in Part II as being quite a sweet jock-type of character, with the bulk of his screentime being focused on his blossoming romance with Vicky.
Mark is killed near the film's final sequence, going out onto the verandah to check on Vicky. He sits in place for a while, before suddenly having a machete plunged deep in his face. The impracticalities of the kill aside, the funniest part of the sequence comes when Mark, machete in the face, starts to roll backward and inexplicably down some stairs that seem to go on forever.
The huge staircase was never shown before or after the kill, with the sudden introduction of it feeling like a 'this would be a really cool artsy shot' decision from the directors. To hell with continuity.
The kill is also capped off with some random flashes of thunder and lightning and closed with a wild slowed zoom in, giving the whole sequence a far more outlandish dramatic feel than a random side character in a cheesy slasher should ever be entitled to.
Mark's death is one of the most iconic kills in Part II, but it is so full of random 'wtf' inclusions that audiences can't help but laugh at.
