Jason Takes Arsenio

Perhaps the best of the many Jasons was the version portrayed several times by stunt performer, Kane Hodder, who appears here. As did old-school stuntman, Ted White (from Part IV), Hodder brought a powerful physical presence to Jason as he transitioned from actual-person maniac to magical-superhuman maniac. Arsenio Hall might be the perfect foil for this—as much as I’d like to see Letterman do this, he would have likely been too annoyed to play along like Hall.
