****Body count goes from 9 to 7.
From Part 2:
1. Cut dream sequence at beginning.

4. Cut cop discovery of Jason's hut and death.
5. Cut all instances of characters opting to stay at the camp instead of going out drinking. In other words, the only people who remain at the camp are the ones who get in trouble and are not invited to the bar. All scenes relating to characters that stayed behind in the orgininal cut are removed, like their deaths.
6. Reordered several scenes to give some balance back to the movie after cutting so much.
7. Final Showdown is trimmed a bit. Not so much running around and less of Jason acting like a dick.
****Body count goes from 10 to 4.
DVD Details:
-Dual Layer Format
-AC3 Stereo Sound
-Over an hour of special features, including theatrical trailers and retrospectives by the films' casts
Conceptual improvements/advancements of edit over original:
In the first movie, the legend of CCL already exists, because of Jason's drowning and the kids deaths at the beginning of the first movie. I eliminated that entirely, so Mrs. Voorhees' rampage is the first of it's kind, and therefore creates the legend discussed in Part 2. I think the first movie is a great concept and is a better idea than Jason as the killer, but the second movie is hands down a more well-made movie with much better dialogue.
I left as much character development in the first movie and cut as much of the violence as possible, so it feels more like a character movie. Think DEATHPROOF. That's kinda how this feels.
To sum up: I wanted to see if I could take two good horror movies and turn them into one GREAT movie.
