Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to co-producer Dennis Stuart Murphy, the idea to have Jason wear a burlap sack over his head in Part 2 came from their costume designer, who figured it was the type of readily available item Jason could have conceivably and easily procured.
- Goofs(at around 46 mins) When Terry undresses to go skinny-dipping, her hair is dry. In the very next shot, she is entering the water and her hair is moist and slicked back.
- Crazy creditsJust like Part 1, we see giant letters proclaiming 'Friday the 13th' moving towards the screen (minus the shattering glass). When they reach the screen, they explode and reveal letters proclaiming 'Part 2.'
- Alternate versionsThe following scenes were cut from the film in order to avoid an "X" rating from the MPAA:
- A close-up shot Jeff and Sandra being double-impaled while having sex on the bed.
- A close up shot of Crazy Ralph and the wire cutting.
- A scene at the very end where we are shown the inside Jason's shack and see Pamela's face. While there, her eyes open. It was cut by Paramount for looking too fake.
- A facing shot of Mark's face being split by the machete.
- Vicky's death had a few more frames of her bleeding from the mouth, then pans over to see another shot of Jeff's dead body
- Blood was trimmed from the shot of Jason driving the hammer in the cop's head.
- The flashback footage showing Mrs. Voorhees decapitation was trimmed.
- Bloodflow was cut from the shot of Jason driving an icepick into Alice's head. Additionally, Jason turns her to the camera, revealing the icepick tip exited through her nose while a look of shock is on her face.
- Additional bloodflow was cut from the shot of Jason slicing Scott's throat.
- Originally, sex scene between Sandra and Jeff was longer and it included full frontal nudity from actress Marta Kober but when Paramount studio discovered that she was underage the scene was deleted completely.

Featured review
This is one of the best of the Friday the 13th series. (The best one is part 3 because of the campy 3D shots). The reason why I like this one so much is because of all the nice looking girls. There's the girl Sandra who's my favorite and looks like Natasha Lyonne. Then there's the bombshell that skinnydips in the lake. And a mildly hot girl is the one who likes the guy in the wheelchair. Why do they always have to make the plain girl the heroine. It's like that with the entire series. The hotties die while the uglies save the day. I cry when the nice looking girls die. The reason I find this installment of the series so memorable (besides the girls) is because of the scene where Jason impales the two people making love. A classic b horror movie.
