Comparison between the R-Rated Version and the Unrated Version, both taken from the US DVD by New Line Cinema.
The differences: 28 cuts = 2 minutes and 36,5 seconds. 6 alternative scenes = 16,5 seconds +Unrated. After the eight part, "Jason takes Manhattan", was a big failure and the least successful part of the series, several changes were made to the worn out template for the movies. Instead of sending Jason murdering through Camp Crystal Lake, the producers decided to give him the abilty to jump from host to host after being blown up, using the new bodies to keep on murdering. James Cunningham was also on board for the first time after directing the first movie of the series, however, he only acted as producer, the director being the rather unknown Adam Marcus. Unfortunately, Jason Goes to Hell was only a tiny bit more successful than its predecessor. And the series went further downward. The next part, "Jason X", which was released eight years later, was – despite some more drastic changes (Jason in space!) – the least profitable of all the Jason movies. There are four different versions of "Jason goes to Hell". Both the uncut Unrated and the heavily cut (in both violence and sex scenes) R-Rated version were released in the US on VHS, Laserdisc and DVD. Unfortunately, the BR release only contains the cut version. A third version is the one on the German FSK 18 VHS by Marketing Film, which basically is the R-Rated version with an additional alternative scene. Last but not least there also is a rare workprint. 14 min The forensic scientist can be seen biting greedily into Jason's heart (two shots). 13 sec
