Kane Hodder plays Jason Vorhees. A role that must be a formidable drain on one's creative energies. It DEMANDS that a large man walks around slowly and slaps attractive young people in the face with a plastic sword*
Being large, a man and able to walk whilst holding a toy weapon, Hodder fills the criteria beautifully. I'm sure Hodder is a lovely guy in real life, the "I've met him" threads on IMDB seem to bear this out** but in numerous quotes and interviews he seems to think the role of Jason is one of weighty cultural significance and none could ever better his glorious portrayal.
To which I say: Sir, don't be such a precocious anus.
For his, and others, profound insights, watch 'His Name Was Jason'. It's a shit, but fun, documentary about the first (sigh) thirty years of F13th films. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1282052/
Anyway, in the film, blah, blah spaceship. blah, the future. frozen, blah, thawed out, killing spree, blah blah, cyborg Jason, blah, the year 2455AD, blah, terrible.
The film is a big pair of carved mahogany tits.

Shit! Forgot to mention, the rather splendid David Cronenberg is briefly in this. As can be seen from the screenshot on the trailer above. Must've been a slow month for him.
* = Yes, I know, it's a machete. Be quiet, you virgin.
** = My chum Andrew met him at Frightfest a couple of years back, he thought he was a bit of a cunt. Can't please everyone, eh?
