Awards: None
Trivia
Joseph Zito based Rob's death scene - in which he screams
"He's killing me!" as Jason attacks him - on a newspaper story he
read about a murder victim in New York
City who begged his attacker to stop stabbing him.
Zito had intended the sequence to be particularly gut-wrenching, as Rob had
been established as a capable opponent for Jason. Upon viewing screenings of
the film, however, Zito realized that the way in which the scene was filmed
made Rob seem pathetic and impotent rather than make Jason appear merciless,
and often caused audiences to break out into laughter.
