Sandy - If you ever saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, there is a scene where Viggo Mortensen (sp?) character is set on fire. Apparently Kane did that fire sequence since that is his claim to fame. It's obvious that the man who is on fire is clearly larger than the Viggo character. I know in most cases they always try to get a stunt man who is similar in structure as the actor.
So, yes Kane is a very large guy for certain stunts these days. I heard rumor that he might be considered for next year's Friday the 13th. I would imagine he would need to slim down a bit and put those elevator shoes on.
Anyway, I would guess kane was a max 6'2" and now 6'1"
berta said on 22/Oct/16
in a scene in the movie wishmaster he stand in front of the russian guy from lost who is listed 185 here and they are about the same height i would say kane is maybe 2 max 3 cm taller. i think he was at best 188 peak and now 184
berta said on 18/Oct/16
i think he can look 6 foot 2 these days with his boots and they give him maybe 6,5-7 cm so i guess he is around 184 today
Sandy Cowell said on 14/Oct/16
Kane seems mighty big to be a stuntman but having studied his body structure, he is clearly an enormous great powerhouse of a man and got that way through hard slog. A great deal of weight when packed like that is quite frightening; imagine being near him if he slipped over - he could kill someone!
Ironically, I saw his name come up as the stunt coordinator at the end of a film tonight. I wasn't paying enough attention to be able to name the film for certain so I won't guess as it could be one of two.
In the 'Friday the Thirteenth' series of films, we never get to see his face properly so I didn't have the vaguest idea of what he looked like. He can hardly be called a brilliant actor as his parts were given to him on account of his size and he didn't have to learn any lines to speak of, (sorry!) so it makes sense that he has another showbiz job - that of a stunt coordinator, so fair play to him.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Sep/16
6ft3§ is still a stretch but a big improvement from 6ft5! Possibly an out of bed height (like hed know or even care about that!) but definitely a mark he could hit in regular shoes.
Rob, in the biggest boots available to him could he have reached 6ft5?
Editor Rob
some of these boots he has worn could give 2-2.5 inch range, so he might have measured near 6ft 5 in them.
Josh jeffords said on 3/Sep/16
Big tall guy he lied about his weight duh so maybe his height too.
Looked 6 6 at least 255 275 as jason in boots of course..
The Man said on 9/Aug/16
A 6'1" guy claiming 6'5"... What a joke.
James said on 13/Jul/16
Does anyone know if he is playing Jason again in the upcoming 2017 F13 movie? Apparently they are filming it still but not leaking any cast info.
I keep going around and around with his height. Why is this guy's height so debatable? Sometimes he looks like 6 foot even. And other times he looks 6'4". His boot size seems to be the big question. Not to mention his posture. So, I'm gonna agree with a 6'1" on a good day for this guy. He might have to loose some tummy if he's gonna do Jason again. Just my opinion.
BigBertha said on 8/Jul/16
I concur with Gary, when i relax my spine and slouch slightly with my head tilted, i do lose a few inches. This guy looks like a shrimp next to derek mears in that group photo, but there is another taken and he looks an inch shorter - hes standing straight. Of course this guy wears ridiculous boots, new rocks brand which tend to have 3in or more heel/platform. This also helps to explain why he looks taller/shorter, seemingly changing event from event. Sometimes he wears his lifted boots, sometimes he wears normal boots, or perhaps a logger style (still a normal boot though a slightly larger heel). I can buy 6'1 or even 6'1.5 barefoot, then between 6'2.5 to 6'4 in his boots.(standing height in the boots.)
Peter 179cm said on 5/Jul/16
184cm/6'0.5 is more accurate.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Jun/16
189/190cm peak is fair. Wouldn't have completely ruled out 6ft3 either.
TapeWormMeasure said on 19/Jun/16
Kane always gives off a huge presence. I think 6'2 current would be more fair
berta said on 8/Jun/16
i dont Think he was mutch over 188 peak and now he looks with his shoes to be 187 then we tae of maybe 3,5 cm extra in shoes that makes him 183,4 but i give him 184

"take off those gloves and shake a hand like a respectable person. Should be hand sanitizer available for hand shake events for fear of touching other's hands."
Not sure what this has to do with height, but since you brought it up, he was horribly burned earlier in his career. His hands look like boiled crabs, pretty sure you would wear gloves too.
Gary said on 11/Mar/16
I can see him as a legit 6ft3 guy with horrible posture. Maybe in Jason X, he looked 6 ft3, and now he's more of not even close to the that height with rob because he's leaning towards him; head slightly tilted. But not many of you may know this but when your head is slightly tilted, you lose a lot of inches or maybe centimeters, but for Kane's case you may think he doesn't look like he has a neck, we'll he does; and when he hyperextends his posture you'll see the difference between what he really looks and what you see from this photo.
John said on 3/Mar/16
6'2.75" peak height
James said on 29/Feb/16
I think he's struggling to hit 6'1". He looks quite small next to Mears, Brooker, and Graham at those conventions. My question would be, why he would NOT wear his thick boots at those so he looks taller. He knows he's going to be standing next to them and others getting photos taken. I think he needs to unfold his arms, take off those gloves and shake a hand like a respectable person. Should be hand sanitizer available for hand shake events for fear of touching other's hands.
Anyway, 6'0" to 6'1" tops and 230-240 lbs.
Editor Rob
how much height he has truly lost can be hard to pinpoint, but he really does look like he's lost more than an inch.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Feb/16
Weird...he looks 6ft4 range w/h The Rock who many think was a strong 6ft3 back then.

Here he is with 6'3 Dwayne Johnson, and appears a tad taller, likely due to a footwear advantage.

So this guy stands a ( comperably to other horror stuntmen) pretty merre 6'1 , and once claimed a massive 6'5 like Kirzinger ? This is ridicilous . He also wears massive lifting boots , like does he think nobody will notice that ?
bugs said on 14/Oct/15
Rob at 1:48 he is next to 196 cm Ken Kirtzinger who played the cook in that movie,and he looks only 186 cm
The film was made in 1989, so his peak was only 186?

it's such a small encounter that it can be hard to say if it was more than 3 like nearly 4...considering his boots were probably thick.

Check out the beginning of this video! You get a clear shot of his boots. What do you think, Rob?
Editor Rob
comfortably in 2-inch range, I believe these are the type of boots also 'big G' wears now.
Maximus said on 22/Sep/15
I just got some Logger boots, and they have around a 2.25" heel and are nowhere near as large as Hodder's. I think you may be right in that he wears a custom boot, as I've searched online for it and can't seem to find any information on it. It really seems to be around a 3" heel. Notice how big the front of the boot is too, in comparison with the back. My logger boots don't have nearly as big a sole on the front. If they do add 3", that would explain why in some photos he appears taller than some 6'3 guys such as Schneider - or near the same height as Tony Todd in a few photos I've seen - and then look so tiny next to Tyler Mane. Some of the pictures of his boots seem to be smaller than others - not sure if this is a camera trick or if he in fact has multiple boots of varying heel heights. Would also explain why some supposedly 6'4 guys on here claim he's the same or near height, whereas some smaller guys also make the claim.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Sep/15
6ft4½(194cm) in boots = 6ft5 claim

Maximus said on 24/Aug/15
Rob, you mentioned it is likely that his chunky boots add 2" - 2.25" of height, yet at 6'1 that would only make him 6'3.25" at max. John Schneider is 6'3, and with shoes (even dress shoes add a tad bit of height), he would likely be in the 6'3 to 6'3.5 range, perhaps taller. How is it possible for Kane to appear so near, if not AT, 6'4 in his big boots, if they only add 2 inches to his 6'1 height?
---
Hodder's boots definitely add some solid height. He can appear 6'2" - 6'3" in them from time to time in photos but take them off and there's no way he's gonna be much more than 6'1", if that. In his heyday he was probably somewhere around 6'2" (give or take a half inch). I could buy up to (but not over) 6'2.5" but I wouldn't be completely shocked if it turned out he's never even been more than 6'1.5" either. Needless to say, he's lost at least a little bit of height over the years and he wears massive boots that can make him look taller.

in person Schneider appears taller than Hodder to me.
The boots when blown up larger do look quite significant. How much advantage he has is debatable. It could be John has 0.8in shoes and Hodder's give 2.3, I don't know what model or if it's a custom boot Hodder wears

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Aug/15
I think 6ft2½-3 range peak is fair. At that height it's possible to clear 6ft4 in boots and I think he could possibly fool people into thinking he was 6ft5.

Editor Rob
I think height loss is definite with him, how much though...I mean last year I saw him a few times and he had at least an inch more footwear but really didn't look more than 6ft 2 at the absolute most, take off advantage and I can't buy him more than 6ft 1 barefoot.
Gonzalez said on 14/Mar/15
There were two options about his height: 6'2.5" (189 cm), 6'3.5" (192 cm). Maybe in big shoes but barefoot he's no more than 6'1". The best Jason Voorhees all time.
Onrey96 said on 10/Mar/15

Rob, when was this pic taken? 6'2.5 peak is very possible. 6'2.5 in pretty big boots he'll def looks 6'4-6'5 range in Friday the 13th movies. This picture he looks no more than 6'1.

Check out the boots Hodder wears to conventions/interviews. This is from last year. Those babies look 3" easily. He must be compensating for his height loss. Especially next to a legit tall guy like C.J. Graham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATs9NDk_f20
Danimal said on 19/Oct/14
Finally found the video of A Current Affair where they do a profile on Kane Hodder!!! At 3:15 they say he is 6'3" and 215 pounds. Remember, this was 25 years ago (1989). He DID get heavier in the next few years, but I do believe that 25 years ago, he WAS close to 6'3".

Freddy Vs Jason: 6'5 or over.
Reboot: 6'5. Could be little over also.. Don't remember exactly.
miko said on 8/Sep/14
Maybe at his prime of 6'2/6'2.5 he measured himself in boots and just went with that.
He has obviously taken a battering over the years and lost quite a bit.
SaveUsY2J said on 16/Jul/14
It's possible, like
Ben Affleck, that he measured 6'3.5 in shoes at his peak and that's where his claim comes from.
Mathew said on 25/Jun/14
6'2.5" peak sounds good. I certainly don't think he was the 6'3.5" - 6'4" range, let alone 6'5".
Mathew said on 23/Jun/14
6'1" today. I would guess he was 6'2" peak, although 6'2.5" isn't impossible either.
Editor Rob
you can tell with this guy's back that today he's lost a good chunk of height.
Alex 6'0 said on 28/May/14
The Jason character was billed as 6'3 and always looked 6'3 or taller in the movies even when Hodder wasn't playing him. Other Jason actors were 6'3-6'4 range as well. Hodder Id say between 6'2 and 6'3 peak and today 6'1

Looked 6' with Chris penn in 'best of the best' too.
Mathew said on 10/Nov/13
About 6'2" peak, 6'1" today.

He was chucking it up last night on Coast To Coast. The guy is 6' 1" not 6' 5" his resume job height. He got canned from Jason vs Freddy when the producers did test shots with Englund and hired a legit 6' 5.5" actor. Look at the Mears & Mane shot by him, he's getting blown out by a legit 6' 5"er. Wears chunky height enhancing boots at every convention. Said he was stunting on Emergency & Franciscus' Hunter shows....... um, his age is wrong too, Universal doesn't hire teens for stunting.

I think he is about 6'1" today. He's 57 and with his career in stunts, I can buy that he's lost a bit of height. I can buy a 188 cm - possibly 189 cm peak height. So I'm fine with as listed, but I very much doubt he was ever any taller barefoot.

6'5 is laughable . This listing is correct.

on an i-m-d-b threat about this guy, people say he was 5'11 - 6'0 standing next to him where he also had elevator shoes on they said. Interesting really. 1 of those guys also said Russel Crowe is 5'10 standing next to him on level ground. My estimate of him is 6' - 6'1 after watching Wishmaster. But 6ft max? Its not like I would be suprised as actors lie and this guy wears some huge shoes but ye 6'1 max is my estimate peak.
luck said on 17/Sep/12
This guy goes to my gym I see him all the time, didn't realize he was a stuntman. With shoes on at the gym I'm almost 6'3, more like 6'2 barefoot and he is clearly shorter than me by at least 1.5 inches maybe more. Good LIsting
gsbr said on 7/Sep/12
I know this has been mentioned before, but Hodder was likely referring to the Jason character as when he said he was 6'5'', not himself. In an Arrow in the Head interview, Hodder said he was 6'3'' and a half.

Danimal said on 11/Aug/12
Close to 6'3" in his prime (into the early 1990's at least). Just watched Friday the 13th Part 9: Jason Goes To Hell (1993) and at the beginning when the Black Coroner (player by Richard Gant, who is 6'4" and who looked it as Tommy Gunn's manager in Rocky V) is being frisked by the security guard (played by Hodder), he looks to be about 1" taller than him. So, Kane was around 6'3", or just under it in the late 80's/early 90's for sure. I thin he's lost over an inch since then.
Danimal said on 26/Jul/12
He was on Entertainment tonight in the late 80's and they said he was 6'3" and 215 pounds at that time. 6'3" may have been a roundup from 6'2" and change (his peak height). May have lost some height since then. Definitely not below 6'1" today.

Rob and Kane stand too slouchy to estimate the height properly. But from this picture I got the 5" height difference. So Kane is 6'1", maybe 6'1.25". Unless Kane holds Rob in the air. :)
Cranberries said on 16/Jan/12
Maybe when he says "basically 6'5", 255, born in Crystal Lake" he's referring to his character Jason. Kane Hodder doesn't seem tooo egotistical, and he's certainly nowhere near those stats.

Looks around 6'2.75 when standing, rounded to 6'3''. I agree that his height has probably decreased considerably over the years.

Close to 6'3" (maybe 6'2.5") in the late 80's.. Today looks to be down to 6'1" (give or take .25"-.5") (may have had back surgery, or hip replacement).

He looked 6ft3 in the Friday the 13th films but they game a big heeled boot his height I think was the reason why he wasn't in Freddy vs Jason he was considerd too short they wanted someone to dwarf Englund who is 5ft9 so they casted Ken Krinziger who is 6ft5

I can see a 6'2.5-6'3 peak but hes looking 6'1 with Rob. Also in Friday the 13th movies he wore good sized boots so I can see 6'5 in boots! He sure looked very tall in whatever footwear he was wearing in the movies

Was never 6'4". Entertainment Tonight did a spot on Kane Hodder in the late 80's (1989 I think) and they claimed that he was 6'3" and 215 pounds. The link USED to be on this site about 6 years ago. Looks to be in the 6'1" range today. He's definitely lost height (his neck is shorter for starters).

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Aug/11
6ft1 out of bed isn't a fair evaluation, in my opinion.
Chances are he still measures over that mark at any point in the day, but certainly not by 4cm.
187cm today and a solid 6ft2 peak maybe pushing 6ft2.5(189cm)?
Phill said on 25/Jul/11
Just met him on July 23rd in Louisville KY at Fright Night Film Fest. I would guess he is a 6'1'' guy out of bed. He had on thick boots & still only had me by 3" tops around 2pm & I'm 5'9.5" & had on 1" heel boots. His boots were at minimum .5" thicker than mine. He was much thinner than I expected since he looked so thick in Jason 7-X. He wasnt overly friendly but still joked around a bit.
James said on 18/Jul/11
does not look over 185cm with rob considering he had thick shoes.
Editor Rob
I saw a photo of a horror website guy who was standing with kane and taller, but then he was standing with derek mears and was I think 3 inches shorter...

He needs a downgrade Rob

lol 6ft4.75. Now ive heard it all. 186/187cm in the pic but would maybe look over 6ft2 with better posture
Legend said on 22/Jun/11
186cm in the picture. 6'5 is a big fat joke.
James said on 3/Jun/11
186 or 187 in the photo
Candyman said on 1/Jun/11
Looks 6'1.5 to me but pictures can lie.

itymsel does he look 9 inches taller than rob to you?
Chameleon said on 19/May/11
Rob also states he has thick soled shoes, Im not buying no 6'2.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/May/11
He doesn't look 6"2 because he's hunched
Chameleon said on 16/May/11
You guys really see 6'2 ???????
I cant see it! Why? Because its not there.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/May/11
6"2.75(190cm) peak
6"2(188cm) today
James said on 13/May/11
Dman could be right
6'2.5 (189cm) peak
6'1.5 (187cm) today
Chameleon said on 6/May/11
Agree with JamesZzZZZz
Dman1528 said on 5/May/11
i would say 6'1.5" now 6'2.5" peak and he does this same pose in the picture with pretty much all of his fans. i have heard he is a really cool guy. and i know he goes to lots of autograph signings.
James said on 4/May/11
6'3 is a joke for this guy more like 6'1

He looks 6"1.5(187cm) maybe 6"1.75 tops now... closer to 6"3 back in the day. I doubt he was ever 6"5(196cm) even in boots...probably 6"3.5-6"4 tops. The reasons he claimed such an outlandish figure is most likely to do with his ego...
Honestly though...he seems like a complete douch with his hands around Rob
Honestly, he's in character. Get a sense of humor Hugh...

I had a scared face at first, for some reason the women looking at the photo at the table said smile. It would have been better with a scared face!

Doesnt look 6'2 min here more like 186cm max

6'1.25 (186cm) with rob maybe???
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Apr/11
I agree...I don't see 188cm(6"2)
Chameleon said on 29/Apr/11
sorry but im struggling to even see 6'2 here XD

Lmao, maybe he weighs 255 after eating several pizzas and 2 liters, but this guy isn't big. 6'2"-6'3" peak, tiny head, tiny hands, narrow shoulders, and long spindly legs... Plus a neck that attaches to the front of his chin.
Maybe he's a nice guy though!
I don't know if I'd go that far in describing him. He's decently big. Not 6'5" 255, but at 6'2.5" and 235 or what ever he is, still a pretty big man.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Apr/11
6"2 at the VERY most today. 187cm is a safer bet in my opinion. But the 80s he was most likely closer 6"3. The claimed weight of 255lbs is like his 6"5 claim, interlinked with his ego.

Kane looks like a good 6 ft 2 in the Jason movies he had a pretty good size boot heel and he's def a lil heavier than 215 about maybe 230 but he's a muscle bound guy

With rob looks 6'1

A LOT of people on here cant tell height, or refuse to accept that most people in hollywood as well as sports stars are upgraded by 1-2 inches on average. Its quite sad really. You would think a height forum would attract a larger percentage who are usually correct like me, but alas that is not so for some reason. There are plenty of sane individuals evicwho agree with me as I also post good evidence a lot of the time with my claims.
ACG, maybe once you are sane enough to actually get out of you mental ward and into the real world, you will see the light and not be so hillariously awful in your estimates. I just saw you think Tom Cruise is 5'9, LOL. High comedy.
Danimal said on 1/Nov/10
Kane WAS 6'2"-6'3" about 20+ years ago.. I saw him on Entertainment Tonight in the late 80's (1988-1989) and they said he was 6'3" and 215 pounds... Looked to be physically heavier than 215 at that time. Looked to be at least 240-250 pounds... As for his height today, I'd say he's about 6'1"... (age and the beating he has put his body through in the last 30+ years as a stuntman)...
ACG said on 1/Nov/10
Viper says on 12/Oct/10
LOL, only an upgrader like RisingForce would think I downgrade. How delusional of him.
1st off, get your user names right. Yet it really makes no difference- just about everybody here knows you almost always downgrade; no real secret at all.
2ndly, it's obvious that you're choosing some obscure actor's page to "upgrade" on just so you can't be accused of downgrading 100% of the time(now we're down to what, 99%? 98.5?).
3rdly, please just GTFO. You contribute absolutely nothing to this site, aside from borderline comedy when you flip out and call people insane if they see you as wrong(which would then make just about all of celebheights one big loony bin).
anonymous said on 6/Jul/09
he claims to be 6'3.5. Yet he's shorter than 6'3" CJ Graham. Hmmm?
dave said on 30/Jun/09
for some reason kane has always had an inflated opinion of his height, it wouldnt surprise me if he wore lifts actually, id say hes about 6' ish flat, 6'1-2 peak, NO more, im yet to see definitive proof that hes over that, never looked that tall to me, and also, no need to quote his height as jason etc, who knows what lifts and boots he was wearing. im 6'.5 flat midday height, and i bet i am as tall as him, as i am easily this height in boots beside my 5'8 friends
Alex said on 28/Jun/09
He may be 6'1 flat today but no lower. 6'2.5-6'3 I agree for his peak too.
Hugh 191cm said on 26/Jun/09
188cm at the lowest today. 190cm at the lowest peak.
Anonymous said on 10/Jun/09
based on further inspection of this pic. I'd give Hodder a definate solid 6'2". Could be 6'5" in the "Jason Boots" he's not 6'3". CJ Graham is 6'3" and looks taller and bigger than Kane.
Danimal said on 8/Jun/09
Was 6'2.5"-6'3" up until the early 90's. Has lost height since then. Could be floating around 6'1" nowadays.
Anonymous said on 7/Jun/09
I don't know why Kane Hodder can't just be honest about his height. Tell the truth Kane.
Hugh 190cm said on 7/Jun/09
Looked close to 6ft4 next to Tony Todd. 192cm peak actually. 6ft2 flat nowadays.
Hugh 190cm said on 7/Jun/09
6ft2 flat.
Danimal said on 31/May/09
I could see him having been 6'2.5"-6'3" in the 1980's. Today he looks to be about 6'1.5"
Alex said on 31/May/09
It could be the camera angle yea because Ken and CJ look the tallest. CJ does look a few inches taller than Kane but the angle is really in his favor though. Ted White is 6'4 and Richard Brooker is 6'3 but Brooker looks taller. White probably lost height of the angle favors Brooker. Brooker does look 6'3 compared to 6'5-6'5 Kerzinger though. Thats the best comparison you can see on there. Also Steve Dash looks 5'10-5'11.
James said on 31/May/09
About 6'1.5 next to rob.
anonymous said on 17/May/09
Hodder does look considerbly shorter than 6'3" CJ Graham and 6'3" Richard Brooker. Perhaps it's the camera angles but 6'3" CJ Graham looks considerbly bigger and taller. Anyone else see this?

Im surprised at how small ted white looks, in part 4 he looked very tall but i guess hes lost some height
Anonymous said on 30/Mar/09
I think hodder is 6ft maybe 5ft 11, hes always wearing those huge boots!!!! I saw a video about when they first wanted to cast him in the part the executives at paramount thought he was to small to play the part but the director convinced them. So i think if they thought he was to small then he wasnt close to 6ft 3, cj graham and richard brooker were both 6ft 3 and looked big. Bigger than Kane in my opinion
Big King said on 28/Mar/09
Rob, this is ridiculous. Hodder looks 6'0" beside you on this photo.

There isn't any Jason actors who I thought did a bad job but Kane Hodder is still the best Jason though 2 of the movies he was in, Jason Goes to Hell wasn't very good and Jason X was pretty weak, he still is the best Jason.
Morg said on 29/Jan/09
For some reason when you can see rob's whole face he looks taller.

I had the pleasure of interviewing khane and i;m 5''9 as he truely is a genttle giant and very approachable to the media as i said to khane even without the mask if i'm in the bar and a fight breaksout i want him on my side.Kane gets alot of publicity for his roll as jason but he is a outstanding stunt man who also likes to play with big knives and hatchets-haaa joe oneill movie crtic-viewer's choice
Danimal said on 17/Jan/09
Yeah, I can see him at 6'2.5" at his tallest and maybe 1-1.5" shorter today. At his heaviest, he was at least 255 pounds.

Kane Hodder's IDBM page says he's 6'3 1/2inch. Why would the guy lie?
Jeff74 said on 7/Dec/08
I'm 6'5 and have met Hodder. He does wear big boots. I'd give him a solid 6'2 barefoot. No more than that. Derek Mears is 6'5 I have a picture of myself with Mears. Derek Mears will be a great Jason Voorhees.
Jeff74 said on 7/Dec/08
Based on everything I've seen with Kane Hodder, I'd give him 6'2 tops. When I met him he was wearing those big boots everyone talks about. Nice guy. But no where near the height of 6'5 Derek Mears.
M.o.r.g said on 23/Nov/08
Michael myers looked like he'd been pumping iron in halloween 4.and he was about 6'4 in it.What it is nowadays with horror killers,do they head straight to the gym once they get out of the grave.
Alex said on 19/Nov/08
Michael Myers now should be in the 5'11-6'1 range. Freddy is more around 5'10.
Haze said on 14/Nov/08
from what ive seen i guess this guy has a hard on for big boots and gloves. the boots i get. he wants to look taller. but the gloves i dont understand. in this picture i see a 6'1 man standing with rob. standing straight might be a weak 6'2. but def. dont look it in my eyes.
BH9 said on 13/Nov/08
I agree totally, Alex. Ken did look too skinny for Jason. Besides, I like that fact that even though Jason isn't the biggest guy he can toss someone as big as Ken around like a rag doll. I think 6'1-6'3 1/2 is perfect for Jason.
Alex said on 12/Nov/08
Personally I think Ken was a bit too tall for Jason. Jason is suppose to be a tall man but not very tall.He's made more to be big/bulky rather than just very tall. Ken wasn't a thin guy but he wasn't as massive as Kane was. I think the Jason character should be 6'2-6'3 barefoot and 240-250lbs.
BH9 said on 10/Nov/08
Kane has never struck me as a particularly tall guy (certainly not short but not 6'4 or 6'3). His build makes him look much bigger than he is but the clip everyone is talking about (Kane vs. Kirzinger) should lay all of this to rest. There is NO WAY Kane was ever 6'3 or 6'4; he looks a good 2-4 inches shorter than Kirzinger in tennis shoes. Moreover, I have never seen a publicity picture of Kane without those huge boots and I'd be very surprised (and interested) if anyone has any pics with Kane sans boots. The fact that he wears them to all the conventions should also be suspect. Frankly, though, he was the best Jason in my opinion and he always seemed the biggest both in height and build because of his approach to the character.
In regard to his weight, he looked his biggest in Jason Goes to Hell. Granted, he was in a huge bodysuit but I would say he was a solid 240-250 lbs.
Alex said on 6/Nov/08
In Jason Goes to Hell the cornerer described Jason as 230-240lbs. I can easily believe that for Hodder. He may have been up to 260lbs. I wouldn't have doubted that.
Alex said on 1/Nov/08
Ed, I think a peak Kane at 6'2 and today 6'1-6'1 1/2 may be very likely.
Alex said on 1/Nov/08
Kane as the security guard just standing there gave me an impression of a 6'2 guy, no more than that.
Ed(1) said on 31/Oct/08
Alex, I think Grant is a legit 6ft3 guy, and in the scene you're talking about he looked around 1-2 inches taller then Hodder if I remember correctly.
As for your estimates of the pic with Rob, I can see that! Not to mention Rob confirmed the boots in the above pic, check out your post on May 30, 2007.
ed2, it sure looks like him!
Alex said on 30/Oct/08
Ed, isn't Richard Gant from Jason Goes to Hell a legit 6'3 guy? I remember in the beginning with Kane is playing a security guard, Gant looks a little taller than him. I think Kane should be listed at a peak 6'2-6'2 1/2 and today 6'1 1/2. Though I wouldn't say he;s more than 6'0 1/2 looking with Rob.
Alex said on 30/Oct/08
I dont see 6 inches in the above picture. I would have said more like 4.5 inches. We also dont know if Kane is wearing his big boots there.
steve said on 30/Oct/08
how many of you guys have see wishmaster 4 ? in that there is a guy who bashes up the djinn (michael trucco) in a bar....the bouncer....his name is chad bruce....he looks some 3 inch taller than trucco [who himself is 6'3] in that scene....
ed2 said on 29/Oct/08
Isn't that Kane Hodder in the pic. He looks 2-3 inches shorter than 6'4'' Seagal.
Click Here
Ed(1) said on 26/Oct/08
Alex, I'd say Dash looked like a 5ft11-6ft guys tops! In the above pic with Rob, Hodder looks 6 inches or so taller and that's with his boots! If Rob is 5ft9ish in that pic that means Hodder is only standing in the 6ft3 range with his near 2" heels. I think it's time for a downgrade, or at least a peak and current height!
Alex said on 25/Oct/08
Ed, yea. 6'2-6'2 1/2 peak and 6'1 1/2 today as you said when you met him a few years ago sounds accurate. 6'2 barefoot with big boots he's roughly 6'4 unless the boots are giving him more than 2 inches to his barefoot height.
CJ Graham is a legit 6'3 guy. I thought he looked 6'6 in Part 6. Ted White was a legit 6'4 and Richard Brooker was 6'3 too. So Kane was only taller than Steve Dash in part 2 who thought looked 5'11 at most. What do you think Dash was?
Ed(1) said on 23/Oct/08
Alex here's a link to the Kirzinger/Hodder clip:
Click HereIt does look like Kirzinger has a good 2 or more inches on Hodder easy! If that's the case Kirzinger would have been 6ft6 or so in his tennis shoes, putting Hodder at between 6ft3-6ft4 in his Jason boots. The guy has to be 6f1-6ft2 tops barefoot! There's no way he could be taller, and be still be that outsized by a 6ft5 guy! Not to mention Kirzinger was a friggin beast back then, he easily outsized Hodder both in height and build!
Ed(1) said on 17/Oct/08
Yeah in Part 7-8 he did look tall, especially 7! As a kid I always thought he looked huge when he was walking around in the woods, he looked like he was 6ft6 or taller! When I met him it was like 3 years ago I think, and yes he had the boots on, the same ones that both Rob and Glenn saw(I believe?). They looked to have about 2 inches in heel, and they were almost like moon boots in terms of the sole, it wasn't like a regular heel. Like I've said before on average I'm around 6ft0.5 in my shoes, and he seemed to be only a few inches taller. I didn't get the impression of a 6ft4 guy!
Alex said on 16/Oct/08
Ed, I paused it at the part where Jason grabs him but Jason is leaning a bit so it looks at least 3 inches but probably a bit less if straight up against each other.
Remember the scene where Jason is in the hallway where Kelly Hu sees him and it looks like his head is within a few inches of touching the ceiling. He def looked very tall there.
When did you meet Kane again? And you said he had big boots on when you met him correct?
Ed(1) said on 15/Oct/08
I'd agree with 6ft 2 or maybe a hair over back in the 80's, but today I'd guess 6ft1.5. Yeah with those boots he could have been 6ft4 or more, but to claim that as your height is a little much. If I remember correctly Ken had casual, black, loafer type shoes on in that scene from Part 8, so I'm guessing at 6ft5-6ft5.5 with those on he was 6ft6-6ft6.5 to Kane's 6ft4.
Alex said on 14/Oct/08
I can see 6'5 or close to it in his big boots but even in them he looked 2-3 inches shorter than Ken in Part 8 who could be wearing big footwear for all we know. Who know today Kane may be as low as 6'1 1/2 but 6'2-6'2.5 back then though.
Ed(1) said on 12/Oct/08
For that reason Alex it makes his 6ft5 claim even more ridiculous! I still think the guy is only 6ft1.5-6ft2, maybe a bit more in his youth, and with his monster Jason boots around 6ft3.5-6ft4.
Alex said on 11/Oct/08
I was watching some of Jason Takes Manhattan today and Jason does give a solid 6'2 impression, plus boots making him at least 2 inches taller. But face to face with 6'5-6'5 1/2 Ken he looked to be 3 inches shorter. So Kane may have never been more than 6'2 1/2 at his peak.
Alex said on 9/Sep/08
King, I'd say 6'3 based on his Jason movies but could be as low as 6'2 today. I mean he did look at least 6'5 in whatever footwear he had on in those movies. But with Rob he doesn't look more than 6'1 max.
Big King said on 9/Sep/08
He's far under 6'5".
anna said on 3/Sep/08
i was tihink about 6,2.

Rob, yea but is there something odd with the picture above because he only look 6'1 at most with you there.
Alex said on 27/Jun/08
Rob, what did this guy look to you in person?
Editor Rob
I remember him looking near 6ft 3, but not as imposing a 6ft 3 guy as say Kevin Sorbo can look. So maybe 189cm but then he did have at least 1/2 inch advantage in shoes.
Alex said on 23/Jun/08
This guys look at least 6'2 to me and def 6'3ish at his peak but with Rob he only looks 6'1 at the very most.
J.R. Clover said on 13/Jun/08
Actor/stuntman Don Shanks of friday 13th and Grizzly Adams fame is 6'1" I have worked with him several times I am 6'2" he is a "great guy" he is very athletic/muscular and an advanced student of the martial arts. these figures represent bare foot measurments.

Courtney said on 4/May/08
Wow he's big.... LoL
Alex said on 28/Apr/08
Ed, I almost never boosted my height up. When I was 5'11 1/2 I would sometimes just round up to 6'0 and a couple years ago I thought I hit 6'1 barefoot so I said that for a bit until I measured and found out I didn't grow anymore.
I just tell people 6'0 even though I average out barefoot at 6'0 1/4.
I could be anywhere from 6'1 to as high as 6'2 depending on the type of shoes and time of the day. Like right out of bed with
Nike Shox I am 6'2-6'2.25 or in the evening with other sneakers I am just 6'1. Normally most of the day 6'1.25ish in sneakers.
Ed(1) said on 23/Apr/08
Alex, I usually just say a little under 6ft! I use to say my with shoes height when I was younger, but I haven't done that for a long time. LOL
Like I said, depending on what shoes I'm wearing and the time of the day, I'm anywhere between 6ft0.25-6ft1.
Alex said on 23/Apr/08
Ed, when people ask your height do you just say 5'11? You are def a solid 5'11 guy since you're just under 6'0 out of bed. For everypart of the day you're like an inch shorter than me.
Ed(1) said on 21/Apr/08
The reason I asked is because the other day I lost a solid inch, and to be honest was kind of shocked! I don't normally check my height, so this was a spur of the moment thing, and I was just under the 5ft11 mark at around 6 pm. I did spend a lot of time on my feet that day, but still I wasn't expecting it.
For the most part I'm around 5ft11.75 out of bed, and 5ft11.25 sometimes less at night. It was really weird to see myself under the 5ft11 mark though, that threw me for a loop!
Alex said on 20/Apr/08
Ed, most of the time I lose 3/4 inch going from 6'0.75 right out of bed to 6'0 by the evening. I have lost an inch at times and I think even up to 1.25 inches and thats pretty rare for me though. Because on a very good day I could hit 6'1 right out of bed and on long hard days I could hit as low as 5'11.75 by the night. What about you?
Ed(1) said on 18/Apr/08
Alex, I meant to ask you, what's the most height loss you've experienced in a day?
Alex said on 16/Apr/08
Ed, yea it was funny seeing Jason shorter than someone in one of his films. When he came face to face with Ken Kirzinger in part 8 was the first time I saw it happen. I saw 3 inches between the 2 or I could be wrong and it was more 2 inches.
Ed(1) said on 16/Apr/08
Alex, yeah he's definitely getting 2 inches from those, they are pretty much platform heels!LOL
It's funny I remember watching Part 7 when I was a kid, and in the scenes with Jason walking around in the woods, he looked even bigger to me, like 6ft7 or so. That all changed by Part 8 though, once he went toe-to-toe with Chef Kirzinger, Hodder didn't seem so big to me anymore.
Alex said on 15/Apr/08
Ed, yea def 6'5ish and I just noticed those boots now actually. Those are giving him at least 2 inches to his height.
Ed(1) said on 14/Apr/08
Alex Kane does look 6ft4-5 in that video! Did you see the size of those heels when he walks up the stairs?!!LOL They're huge!
As for his build he does look pretty broad, I'd say 230-240lbs... maybe more... I don't know?
As for Mears, he looked pretty lean but built in The Hills Have Eyes II.

Ed, look at this video from youtube of Jason Voorhees on a talk show. I am pretty sure this is Kane Hodder in the costume. Well he does look 6'5ish in boots in the video. I am guessing he was probably about 6'3 barefoot here and got a good 2 inches from the boots and today has shrunk a little. Also he does look a good 245-255lbs.

No problem with a lean Jason as long as he's lean and built. Not just straight up lean.
Ed(1) said on 10/Apr/08
Well the new Jason will be 6ft5, and in boots 6ft6 plus! I saw The Hills Have Eyes II and Mears didn't look 6ft5 to me in the film, more 6ft3, but I could be wrong. Still he's definitely going to be one of the leanest Jasons on record, but also up there as one of the tallest.
I'm looking forward to see how it all turns out!
Alex said on 10/Apr/08
Ed, I do believe that the actor who plays Jason should be minimum 6'2 barefoot. That is because if you're 6'2 barefoot and in boots from the movie you'll be 6'4ish and be taller than most you come by and everyone in the movie. With a Jason under 6'2 you wont really get that.

Kane is cool as ****, met him twice. He's a solid 6'2 no taller. He was the best Jason EVER!!!! The new guy was stut guy in Friday 8. Kane threw him around like a rag doll.
Ed(1) said on 2/Apr/08
I don't know if you guys have heard the latest, but Hodder is not coming back for the new Friday remake beginning filming in the next few months. Instead they've got a new stunt/actor named Derek Mears from the Hills have Eyes II remake. He's apparently 6ft5 and on the leaner side, more like a muscled Richard Brooker. The guy looks the part for sure, and imo doesn't need any makeup to be scary looking.

Kane's about 6'2" IMO.
Danimal said on 17/Dec/07
Yeah. It's all about the ending though!!
Viper said on 17/Dec/07
Ive never seen it. I hear its a cult classic though.
Alex said on 17/Dec/07
Danimal, I saw Sleepaway Camp the first one only one time and it was 10-11 years ago. I thought it was pretty good and a shocking ending as well. I wanna see parts 2 and 3 though.
Danimal said on 16/Dec/07
Alex and Viper, have you ever seen Sleepaway Camp? What did you think of it?
I like Friday the 13th part because they have 2 amazing scenes where we see REALLY huge @#$$ on 2 chicks. The one scene in the diner and the other one in the park. I also like the kills in that one too and that little kid was funny.
Viper said on 16/Dec/07
I think If I had to pick a best, I would go with part 1. I feel like it has the best suspense and acting overall. The opening scene is so classic. I was shocked that Jason wasnt the killer when I first saw it. But I like how you get some of the backround of Jason in it. And these characters had never heard of Jason before and there was no history of brutal murders at this camp. So these people were really in for huge surprise compared to the sequels where they knew something had happened there before. Part 2 is also very good. Similar to part 1 plus you have Jason as the killer. The campfire scene where they talk about Jason is classic. Jason in it.
Alex said on 15/Dec/07
Danimal, I like almost all of them. I'd say I like parts 3 and 4 the best probably. Part 5 is the one I disliked the most even though it had some good kills and action but the fact there was a fake imposter Jason walking around got me mad about it.
Danimal said on 15/Dec/07
Alex, what's your fav. Friday the 13th part? Personally, I think part II had the most atmosphere to me. Jason still seemed kind of human and breakable to me. He lived in a shed and was young and still small and not that strong when he fought with the guy at the end. He got hurt and he grunted a lot and he RAN back then. The end of part IV was also really cool with a young Corey Feldman, when he went psychotic and shaved his head and butchered Jason, screaming DIE over and over again. I also liked part 5 and 6 a lot too.
Viper said on 12/Dec/07
I dont have a favorite really. I like all of them to some extent except for Jason X.
Danimal said on 12/Dec/07
Viper, which was your fav. Friday the 13th?
Alex said on 11/Dec/07
Danimal, I think he's 6'2 today but I was just saying how he kinda looked 6'0-6'0.5 with Rob.
Viper, I'm a big fan of the Jason series even Jason X I wouldn't rate bad. I'd say it was mediocure. Now the worst was part 5:The New Beginning with a fake imposter Jason walking around. Some good kills and action but just the fact of a fake Jason got me upset.
Viper said on 11/Dec/07
Hodder looks 6-5 anyway in some of them. Might as well go with a 6-5 guy. Though, it has to be better than part 10 because the franchise hit rock bottom with the Jason in space stuff. I can kinda suspend reality a little with Jason getting on a boat going up to New York, or moving out of bodies because he isnt human anymore. But Jason in Space, man thats hard to buy, lol.
Ed said on 10/Dec/07
I could see 6ft2 in his youth and 6ft0.75-6ft1 today. At 6ft1 with his "special boots" he'd be around 6ft3!
Danimal said on 9/Dec/07
No way is he only 6'0" Alex. Remember this man is a stunt man and has been for YEARS. He has put his body through more of a beating than most pro wrestlers. I believe he was ONCE 6'3" (in the 1980's), when he was younger and less injuries. I don't see him at under 6'1"-6'2" today.
Alex said on 9/Dec/07
Looking back at the picture, Kane does look like he would be 6'2 with Glenn if he straightned up a bit and was equal to the camera with Glenn.
Now looking at him with Rob, dare I say this but he 6'0-6'0.5. I am a solid 6'0 and 5'8 guys come a little less up to me than Rob comes up to Kane. I can see over a 5'8 guys head almost.
Editor Rob
to be fair his eyeline is a little down though.
Alex said on 7/Dec/07
I say bring Kane back for another Jason. Or use Ken from Freddy vs Jason. He was a good Jason but very tall.
Alex said on 7/Dec/07
It says Tony Moran played Myers in part 1 on I M D B.com. Not sure on his height. It says Nick Castle too for part 1. 2 guys played him?
Castle is listed at 6'2 1/2 though. He looked 6'0ish in the first part.
Ed said on 7/Dec/07
Alex, Dick Warlock who is listed on this very site at 5ft9, played Myers in part 2. He wore big lifts to be closer to 6ft, and that's why he walked ultra slow and tipsy. Warlock talks and jokes all about it on the documentary I mentioned.
6ft8, 6ft10, or whatever Mane really is, was exceptionally tall for Myers. You guys who haven't seen the film need to check it out though. I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks!
As for the new Friday film, what are all your thoughts on that, and who could possibly play Jason? I've mentioned it before that Andrew Bryniarski is rumored to don the hockey mask! He'd be 3 inches taller than Hodder and quite a bit bigger. Jason would be a tank if they went with him, lol!
Alex said on 7/Dec/07
Viper, exactly. Jason was human up until part 4. Part 6 and on he became more like a zombie. Jason was huge all the time other than part 2.
Viper said on 7/Dec/07
Ed, I can understand Myers gaining weight throughout the years. But a growth spurt to 6-8? lol I still havnt seen Zombie's halloween and I dont think I want to. Though I can kinda buy Jason getting taller because he seems more like a monster than human. Danimal It seemed like Jason was more human up till part 4. Then after that he became a non-human beast.
Alex said on 6/Dec/07
Ed, Myers in part 2 was 5'9? He didn't look that short at all.
I could be wrong but he did look over 6'0 in parts 1 and 2.
Danimal said on 6/Dec/07
Yeah, Myers never came across as being overly large to me. In part 4, or was it 5, when he escaped from the hospital, he lifted that orderly off his feet and crushed his skull, so he WAS taller and larger from part 4 onwards. Part 1 and 2 were an average size man who was just insane. Kind of like Jason from FRiday the 13th part 2 (with exception to his deformed head).
Ed said on 6/Dec/07
Alex, you're kidding right? Nick Castle was maybe 6ft, more like 5ft11 and around 160-170lbs. Dick Warlock who played Myers in part 2, was 5ft9 and probably around 170lbs as well, he also wore lifts to reach near 6ft that's why he wobbled through the whole movie. He talks about it on the Halloween documentary 25 Years of Terror.
George Wilbur who played Myers in part 4 was the first genuine over 6ft actor. He was 6ft2 and probabaly 215-220lbs. The stunt men from there on out who played Myers stayed in this similar physique range, 6ft2 200-220lbs.
Viper said on 6/Dec/07
I thought Myers looked closer to 6-0.
Alex said on 4/Dec/07
Myers was still no small man at all in parts 1-2. He looked 6'2 and at least 200-205lbs.
Alex said on 2/Dec/07
I think Ken did a good job as Jason. He was a solid 6'5 guy but weighed 225lbs. Could have weighed more but some profile had that for him. wasn't a small guy but he wasn't too bulky either.
Ed said on 1/Dec/07
Myers wasn't built really big until George Wilbur took over in part 4! From then on the stuntmen cast all had similar height(6ft2)and build, until Zombie's Halloween! LOL!
As for Brooker, he always looked lean to me, maybe he was 220lbs?
So Viper if you expect Jason to have progressed to a 6ft5 beast, Bryniarski would fit the role perfect!
