Freddy vs. Jason is a 2003 American slasher action Horror film directed by Ronny Yu. The film is a crossover between the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street franchises. It is the eleventh and eighth entries in their respective series, pitting Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees against each other. The film is also the last film in both the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises before they were both rebooted. It was filmed in the United States, Canada and Italy.

In the film, Freddy (Robert Englund) has grown incapable of haunting people's dreams as the citizens of Springwood, Ohio, have mostly forgotten about Freddy with the passage of time, as well as the fact that the current generation of teenagers are kept ignorant of his existence. In order to regain his power, Freddy manipulates Jason (Ken Kirzinger), into resurrecting himself and traveling to Springwood to cause panic and fear, leading to rumors that Freddy has returned. However, while Jason succeeds in causing enough fear for Freddy to haunt the town again, Jason angers Freddy by depriving Krueger of his potential victims. This ultimately sends the two undying monsters into a violent conflict.

This film marked Robert Englund's final appearance to date as Freddy Krueger, having portrayed him in all seven previousNightmare films and the 1980s TV series, as well as the first movie since Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood not to featureKane Hodder as Jason Voorhees, having been replaced by stuntman Ken Kirzinger who previously served as a double for Hodder in the film Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. The film served as Grammy-winning R&B singer Kelly Rowland's debut as an actress.

Plot[edit]

Freddy Krueger is trapped in Hell because the teenage residents of Springwood have forgotten about him, rendering him powerless. Under the disguise of Jason Voorhees' mother, Freddy manipulates Jason into killing Springwood teenagers, hoping to inspire fear and restore his powers.

Lori Campbell now lives with her widowed father at 1428 Elm Street. Her friends Kia, Gibb, Trey, and Blake, are spending the night there. Jason kills Trey by stabbing him and folding him in half. The murder's gruesomeness and the fact it happened in bed cause police to speculate Freddy was responsible. Later, following a nightmare, Blake awakens to discover his beheaded father beside him before Jason appears and kills Blake. The next day, the police say Blake committed the murders then committed suicide.

Lori's ex-boyfriend Will Rollins and his friend Mark Davis, the last people to have had contact with Freddy, are patients at Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital, forced to take Hypnocil to suppress their dreams. A news report of the murders prompts Mark to devise a successful escape plan. He and Will return to Springwood, where Mark informs Lori and the others about Freddy. Mark later learns of the city's plan to erase Freddy by making the population forget about him and realizes he may have ruined their plan. That night, Lori and the others attend a rave at a cornfield. A drunken Gibb believes she sees Trey and follows him to a silo that turns out to be a dream trap set by Freddy. As Freddy is about to kill Gibb, Jason, who has arrived at the rave to slaughter partygoers, kills Gibb in the real world. Freddy realizes Jason will not stop stealing his potential victims.

Linderman, a classmate with a crush on Lori, and stoner Freeburg escape the rave unharmed along with Lori, and Kia. Lori confronts her father about her mother's death and traps him in a lie. She and Will go to Mark's house, only to discover Freddy attacking Mark. Deputy Stubbs suspects there is a copycat Jason murderer, but his suspicions fall on deaf ears. He approaches Lori and her friends, who piece together Freddy's plan. Learning of the Hypnocil, they steal a supply of it from Westin Hills. But Freddy possesses Freeburg and disposes of the drugs. After electrocuting Stubbs, Jason is tranquilized by the Freddy-possessed Freeburg, whom Jason cuts in half before succumbing to the drugs.

The teens devise a plan to pull Freddy from the dream world and force the two killers to battle each other. They take the unconscious Jason to Crystal Lake; should he defeat Freddy there, he'll already be back home and will not come after the teens. Meanwhile, Freddy battles Jason in the dream world. Freddy has the advantage of his dream powers but even here, Jason seems indestructible. However upon discovering Jason's fear of water, he uses it to pull him into a nightmare of his drowning as a child. Lori enters the dream world to retrieve Freddy, saving Jason in the process. Enraged, Freddy attacks Lori, and reveals he was the one who killed her mother.

In the real world, Jason awakens and chases the others into a cabin. Linderman is mortally wounded. The cabin catches fire, and Lori's hand is dragged through flames, causing her to wake up and pull Freddy from her dream into the real world. Jason begins to fight Freddy while the others escape, and throws Freddy through the roof of another cabin.

Linderman dies, and Lori, Will and Kia encounter Freddy. Kia taunts him, but Jason kills her. As Lori and Will escape, the two monsters begin their final battle. An attempt to ram a mine cart into Jason goes wrong and both of them are hit and land on the boardwalk. Lori and Will igniting propane tanks that blow Freddy and Jason into the lake. Freddy makes one final attempt to kill Lori and Will; however, Jason saves them by using Freddy's own arm to impale him through the chest, before falling back into the lake. Lori decapitates Freddy while Jason sinks below the water.

Finally at peace with their past, Lori and Will leave Crystal Lake together. Later, Jason emerges from the lake holding the severed head of Freddy, which winks at the audience.

Early life

Ronaldo was born in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener.^[15] His second given name, "Ronaldo", was chosen after then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was his father's favourite actor.^[16][17] He has one older brother, Hugo, and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia.^[1] His great-grandmother Isabel da Piedade was from Cape Verde.^[18] The family was staunchly Catholic. Ronaldo later said that he grew up in poverty, sharing a room with his brother and sisters.^[19] He was popular with other students at school, but was expelled at age 14 after he threw a chair at his teacher, whom he said had "disrespected" him.^[20] He then agreed with his mother to focus entirely on football, as he believed he had the ability to play semi-professionally.^[20]

When he was eight years old, Ronaldo started playing for amateur team Andorinha, where his father was the kit man.^[21] Two years later, he signed with local club Nacional. Following a title-winning campaign with Nacional, in 1997, Ronaldo went on a three-day trial with Sporting CP, who subsequently signed him for an undisclosed sum.^[22] He joined Sporting's other youth players who trained at the Academia Sporting, the club's football academy, in Alcochete.^[23] At age 15, however, he was diagnosed with a racing heart, a condition that could have forced him to give up playing football.^[24] He underwent an operation in which a laser was used to cauterise the affected area of his heart; discharged from hospital hours after the procedure, he resumed training only a few days later.^[25]

Club career

Sporting CP

Ronaldo memorabilia at Sporting CP's museum

During the 2002–03 season, his sixth and final season at Sporting, Ronaldo became the first player to play for the club's under-16, under-17, and under-18 teams, the B team, and the first team, all within one campaign.^[23] Senior manager László Bölöni, who was impressed with his dribbling, promoted him from the youth team and gave him the chance of a professional debut.^[26] Ronaldo made his league debut on 7 October 2002, against Moreirense, and scored two goals in their 3–0 win.^[27]

Over the course of the season, Ronaldo's representatives suggested the player to Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier and Barcelonapresident Joan Laporta.^[28][29] Manager Arsène Wenger, who was interested in signing the winger, met with Ronaldo at Arsenal's grounds in November to discuss a possible transfer.^[30] Ronaldo came to the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in the middle of 2003, when Sporting defeated United 3–1 at the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. Ronaldo's performance impressed the Manchester United players, who urged Ferguson to sign him.^[31] Ferguson considered the 18-year-old "one of the most exciting young players" he had ever seen.^[32][33] A decade after his departure from the club, in April 2013, Sporting honoured Ronaldo by selecting him to become their 100,000th member.^[34]
