A Explanation of Why Part 6 Jason Clothes aren't The same as Part 4 Jason's Clothes

As we seen in Part 3 and at the end of The Final Chapter (Part 4) Jason's appearance changes over the course of the film clothing wise.

Knife to Knee Wound
Hammer Claw to the Back
Machete slash to the Chest
Repeated Machete Slashes to the Back

These are all the most notable known damages inflicted on Jason for the Final Chapter that we can obviously see.

As for Jason Lives (Part 6) these damages are not present and these new clothing are damaged throughout the film from multiple gunshots, slight burns, and even a paintball.

Below I will explain why his clothes arent the same.

As we all know Jason Voorhees is dead at the end of the final chapter and was buried as Part 5 claims he was cremated but this was turnt out to be false and his corpse was buried in the town somewhere.

This is where I can explain why we dont see the previous damage as once a dead body is claimed and sent to the morgue its the job of the Mortician or Funeral director (or both) to repair and dress the deceased so it makes sense why we get a slightly clothed Jason for Jason Lives as the Mortician redressed him in his most known attire which is a Green shirt and silver/grey (or by some tan) Khaki's.

It also explains why Jason's grave site isnt that properly given due to him having no one other than his "Father" (storyboards reference ofcourse) secretly paying for him and his mothers graves maintence, and was also a serial killer so it makes sense if the town didnt want to pay for a proper funeral for him.

I dont believe in terms of clothing wise this being a major continuity conflict as it still has the previous attire just slightly different (as all films do)

I can't explain how or why Jason's Body is posed like that but it could be given he did infact resurrect in the coffin without anyone knowing at the gravyard and then later on had died permenantly when he was deprived of air, food, and water, and that he was clinging to his chest or pushing on the coffin.

good reasoning!

I think we forget that technically Jason had a killing spree during a weekend, it's not like this was a ongoing thing

Thank you! To me this is both realistic and simple to explain for those who arent familiar with funeral homes lol.

The biggest thing you have to ignore in part 6 is his eye. If he is in that stage of decomposition his one eye would be long gone. If nothing else, the worms would have eaten it. Also, maggots would not be in the coffin either. It had been sealed in a vault for quite some time and flies would not have been able to lay eggs in there.

I don't care though. It's still my favorite in the franchise.

I understand and really enjoy your breakdown of why the clothes are different. My one question is though, why would anyone give Jason a utility belt to wear to the grave??

Jason had the utility belt when he came out of the grave?

I thought he got the utility belt from Ted, I think his name was, after he ripped his arm off. And it didn't look like he was put in a vault in Jason Lives, just a simple wooden coffin. The eyeball is a bit of a mystery unless he tasted so bad even the worms didn't want to eat him. His father paying for the grave is the reason that makes sense as to why he was given a marked grave

Yeah, I went back and watched. The scratching noise was the shovel on the coffin. Jason got the yellow gloves and the mask from Tommy.

did anyone notice that the paintball smear in Part 6 disappeared from his clothes?

I would say it was likely poorly made because of him and his mother's many killings at Camp Crystal Lake that the company that sells coffins likely said "Nah, we gonna give him a poor one." and I can only presume this is done while Jason's father (not Elias) hadn't paid for the costs at this time but the maintenance/overseeing of their graves.

I had to search the scene to make sure this wasn't a mandala effect haha.


So it's safe to assume he did get it from Burt after killing him!
