help Freddy vs. Jason FAQ
Who actually wins the fight at the end of Freddy vs. Jason?
The ending is deliberately ambiguous. Jason walks out of the lake carrying Freddy's severed head, which then winks at the camera, leaving fans of both slashers to argue about the true victor.
Why didn't Kane Hodder play Jason in Freddy vs. Jason?
Ken Kirzinger took over the Jason role, even though Kane Hodder had played him in the four previous Friday the 13th films. Director Ronny Yu reportedly wanted a taller Jason with more distance between his eyes for the fight choreography.
Was there ever a Freddy vs. Jason sequel with Ash from Evil Dead?
A Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash film was in development but never made it to production. The story eventually surfaced as a comic book miniseries published in 2007-2008 instead.
How does Freddy vs. Jason fit into the two franchises' timelines?
It's counted as the eighth A Nightmare on Elm Street film and the eleventh Friday the 13th film, so it sits in both continuities. Robert Englund returned as Freddy for the last time on the big screen, and the movie opened in August 2003.
Did Freddy vs. Jason make money at the box office?
Yes, it grossed over $110 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing entry in either franchise at that point. That success kept crossover talk alive for years, even though no direct sequel happened.
