Ken Kirzinger, the stuntman who played Jason in FvJ was 6'5". Add the hood and makeup, and the platforms in his boots (Jason has a noticeable platform of at least two inches in the movie) and now you have a guy who's nearly 6'8" to Robert Englund's 5'9".

Hodder was a horrible Jason anyway. He was like a sloppy pro wrestler. The alternate ending for FvsJ would've been amazing. They talked about that in the Nightmare on Elm Street documentary. I believe its called never sleep again. Very good take a look.

Kane's size and acting ability was what got him forced forced out of the role. From the start the cards were stacked against him. Production Executive Stokely Chaffin said that Kane was not only too short, but she also said he was "too chunky" and "not scary." Robert Englund said that while he loved Kane, Director Ronnie Yu wanted Jason to be "a tall, skinny, Anthony Perkins kind of character." Yu himself also said that he personally wanted more focus on Jason's eyes, and felt that Kane was too cartoonish in his mannerisms, and was physically not right for what he wanted from the character. Hodder said that he offered a lowball contract that offered little to nothing in the way of perks (such as residuals) which forced him to bow out. It should also be noted that Yu has flipped flopped on whose fault it was over the years, probably to hide from the wrath of Hodder fans who were pissed he was not chosen for the film. While I'm biased as I am not a Hodder fan myself (Richard Brooker and Ted White were far and away the best Jasons) I'm glad they made the decision, as I enjoyed Kerzinger's take on the character.

And yes...that Nightmare on Elm Street biography was awesome. Definitely not something that can be watched in one sit through (what was it...like 4 hours long?) but is definitely a must watch for any Freddy fan. My only gripe was that it came out very recently, and failed to talk anything about the reboot/remake, which while I was not a huge fan of, would have loved to learn more about anyways.

Great zombie flick. Does a decent job with tension, which is something that most zombie films now a days don't have. It also a straight up zombie film, staying away from the comedy that has been present in most modern zombie films the past few years.
