Wissenswertes

Jason was supposed to kick the main character's dog near the climax of Freitag, der 13. Teil 8 - Todesfalle Manhattan (1989). Kane refused, saying Jason may kill people but he's not bad enough to kick a dog.
A good portion of his body was burned badly in a stunt mishap during the late 1970s. He suffered third degree burns over 50% of his body.
He spends time working with children in burn centers.
Among his contributions to the Jason Voorhees character, Kane said that Jason should never have to run after his victims, nor would he hurt children and animals.
One funny story that he likes to tell is that during the filming of Freitag, der 13. Teil 7 - Jason im Blutrausch (1988), his dressing room was a quarter of a mile down this dirt road. One night filming ended at at 2 a.m. and he was still in the Jason costume, and he decided to walk through the woods on a path to his dressing room. As he was walking someone approached him and asked if he was with the movie. He didn't reply, because he thought it was a pretty stupid question to ask, as he was standing there in full Jason costume. The man asked again, Kane took a little lunge for the guy and grunted. The guy took off, tripping and running. The next day director John Carl Buechler told Kane that the local sheriff was supposed to stop by, but he never showed.

Zitate

[when asked his thoughts on Jason's look in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), in which he did not play Jason] I guess they wanted Jason to look like a skinny little bitch this time.
[commenting on his exclusion from Freddy vs. Jason (2003)] I won't be unemployed. But I will resent the hell out of the fact that somebody else is wearing that mask.
[when asked about the ending of Freitag, der 13. Teil 8 - Todesfalle Manhattan (1989)] That was the scene I disliked most, where Jason turns into a little boy at the end of Part VIII. Somehow in Rob Hedden's mind, I think, it was a valid ending and he knew what he wanted, but I don't think it was presented so that people could understand it. I hated that whole ending. And I fought it to the bitter end, but I was overruled. That's why I pushed to ignore that ending when we began Jason goes to Hell - Die Endabrechnung (1993).
[when asked about being a stunt double for actors getting paid a fortune) Not only do they get paid millions of dollars, but then they go on talk shows and say they did all their own stunts. That happens all the time. I've seen actors from movies I've worked saying they did all their own stunts. There is no actor who does all their own stunts, period. Don't listen to any of them. They may do a few of them. Not even Jackie Chan. He probably does the most stunts [himself], though.
Attitude is everything when it comes to the character. I'm real natural when it comes to looking scary. If you're not seriously trying to frighten people, then the fear these movies are intended to generate doesn't come across. I truly try to scare the shit out of people all the time. Between takes, in the make-up trailer, you never know when I'm going to scare you.
