I never thought I would say this with a straight face, but I think it’s a good thing that Friday the 13th had so many sequels. Otherwise, I probably never would have leaned Roman numerals. By-the-way, the Roman numeral for number “9” is still “The Final Friday”, right? If it is, good. If not, yikes and ye gads. However, all this talk of Friday the 13th this gets me wondering something.
How come New Line Cinema never did a crossover of Friday the 13th and the movie Friday. Both are owned by New Line Cinema and I'm sure fans of either franchise would see it if the film was ever made. Jason already took Manhattan, why not Los Angeles too? Instead of Jason X or what is more accurately Jason in Space...or Jason Kills Again, the character of Jason Voorhees would have to deal with Craig and Day-Day, but really we would have preferred Smokey (and not of the Bandit kind). Chris Tucker, Come Back!
Ultimately I think that the question isn't whether these two franchises should be combined. Rather, the real question is what to call this crossover once its made. Friday the 13th: In the Hood. Next Friday the 13th or Friday the 13th After Next. What a wasted opportunity that these two franchises never got the opportunity to be made, co-written by DJ Pooh and direct F. Gray Gary. I think people would have liked it a lot better than they did Jason X (even though there aren't any films titled Jason 1-9, but Friday the 13th's numbered 1-8). What a waste of two perfectly good franchises.
