A minor step down from the first and second films, this entry's enduring legacy is the combination of Jason's look and his physicality. That's pretty much the only aspect in which PART III is an improvement over its predecessors: Jason becomes essentially what he will be from here on out. A few other memorable pieces of this film include a brilliant harpoon kill, an absolute banger of an opening/closing theme, and an effective way to stop someone from walking on their hands.

The 3D gags are fun and dumb as hell, too.
