This may be my favorite of the Friday the 13th series, mainly because of the winking, insider humor; it's almost like a precursor to Wes Craven's Scream ten years later.

Reviews for Friday the 13th - Part 6: Jason Lives
While there's a superficial been-there-done-that, why don't-we-just-mock-the-whole-thing quality to this entry in the series, it certainly livens up what has become by this point a stale franchise.

Of note: Electricity will figure prominently in just about every Friday the 13th entry from this point onward.

The sixth installment in the thunderingly mediocre series features no nudity whatsoever. Surely this is an editing mistake.
