80's Flick Flashback

This 80’s Flick has one of the most inaccurate titles ever which is easy to forgive when the movie also happens to be considered by fans of the franchise as one of the best in the series.  So get ready to revisit Crystal Lake as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Laramy Wells and Charlie Cotter discuss “Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter” from 1984 on this episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback Podcast!

Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:

  • Corey Feldman was legitimately terrified during the window shot. As per series tradition, Jason was played by yet another stuntman in 'The Final Chapter,' this time Ted White. He did not like Feldman. When it came time to film the famous scene near the end when Jason reaches through a broken window to pull Tommy out of a house, White got to act out his frustration. They had worked out the timing of when White would grab Feldman beforehand, but during filming White waited a couple of beats to the point that Feldman assumed the stunt had gone wrong. So, just as he let his guard down White grabbed him exactly as you see in the film, meaning Feldman's screams of horror were completely authentic.
