Comparison between the UK-DVD (R-Rated, Theatrical Version) and the Workprint.

The fourth part of the series picks up where the third part dropped he ball. Jason is alive and returns to Crystal Lake to slice and dice some more teenagers who are spending their time with sex, drugs and parties.

This workprint is an already finished version of the movie. Special effects, music as well as opening and ending credits are present. Compared to the Theatrical Version there are some new storyline sequences, presumably cut because they slowed the movie down.

The imdb contains hints to further scene extensions. Those are not in the workprint, o their actual existence is questionable.

Nurse Rhonda was originally held up and gutted, but it ended up being cut out so that it only showed her being stabbed.

A scene where Tommy shows Rob a toy soldier melting under a magnifying glass.

A scene where Trish finds her mother drowned in a bathtub.
