yes the rest of the franchise is worth watching number 5 is the brutalist but number 4 is the lowest so watch the rest of the franchise they have some of the best kills especially number 2 and 5
All horror movies are designed to try and make you afraid of something, but this franchise makes you afraid of everything, and it does it so well. Also, can we all agree that William Bludworth is the best character?
It does it so well that when we see log trucks stopped in front of us we say “final destination” and take a hand off the steering wheel and point at it
Final Destination traumatized me as a child. The scenes are just so graphic that you just can’t look away that easily. Overall, it’s a film that will continue to hold its legacy for decades to come.
I watched the 5th movie as a kid. I remember all those graphic deaths on the bridge. One girl got her eye lasered at some point. The scene that traumatized me most was the pool scene in the 2009 movie where the guy had his insides sucked out. I was scarred for days. I was afraid to even leave my bed because I was worried my ceiling fan would fall & brutally take me out.
Fr I was terrified of a LOT of things because the movies played often as a marathon on TV when I was growing up. I still don't know which ones I've seen but I was terrified of being sucked into the bottom of pools, flights taking off, driving behind trucks carrying logs, fireworks near roller coaster, car washes, rats in the subway, learned about weird American sinks with knives (which I later found out are garbage disposals which is still an insane concept to me) and just 3D movies.
@@Linator4 I believe it’s the second one with a log truck but I’ve never been able to drive by a log truck without thinking about that movie since then. Being from Oregon I have to see quite a lot of them also!
I’m glad you pointed out Final Destination 1 is genuinely a well-crafted character-focused movie with amazing eerie atmosphere and visual storytelling. It’s a great horror film, I can argue it’s a horror classic. Before the sequels made it more of a ‘1000 ways to die’ this original legit is a great film.
It's the only movie in the franchise where the hints tell you how someone will die, and they just have to stop it. I feel like in the sequels, once they get a hint, what they do to prevent the death actually causes it, giving it a more goofy feel to it.
@@MattyBmemes last one is overrated asf. only the twist ending saved it. The first two were the best, 1-original concept/competent cast, 2-most memorable opening incident/managed to connect the deaths to first to work as an actual sequel/mostly decent cast, 3-ok/lead carried the movie, 4-wtf was even that/worst cast, 5-nice twist at the end/the lead guy seems to be the worst actor of the mostly ok cast.
Final Destination 2 if perhaps the most popular movie due to its intro. I won't spoil it of course but it left most of us totally scarred and paranoid and it comes to the subject that happens at start.
Would love to see you react to the whole franchise! FD4 is kind of awful in my opinion and I honestly think you can skip it and not miss out on anything (though I'm sure there are those out there who loved it), but FD5 completely redeems the series. FD3 holds a special place in my heart because of the actors that are in it. And FD2 has THAT scene which traumatized an entire generation of current and future drivers.
idk anyone, (not that there may be no one who does like it), but this was my favorite horror franchise as a kid a kid and even i could tell that fd4 was bad. like i think it had some cool concepts that could’ve been executed better. my list is 3, 1, 5, 2, 4, but i love all of them (except 4) equally for their own reasons.
@@michelle6337 i enjoyed rollercoasters but this movie made me look at them differently which i appreciate. it doesn’t help that when i watched it the first time i always (and still do) had a massive crush on mary elizabeth winstead
@@AvEnGeD7X238 Saw was enjoyable until Hoffman left, he was the last character that had anything to do with the original story. Jigsaw and Spiral were garbage, Saw X looks promising imo
Fun Fact: There are 2 deleted/alternate scenes that did lead to an alternate ending where Alex and Clear hook up, she gets pregnant and Alex still grabs the wire. But instead of the car exploding and knocking him off the power line, he catches fire and dies. Clear has his child and her Carter basically win and end it on a morality lesson. But the audience at the Test Screening hated that ending. So they reshot and changed it to this ending.
@@RandyReviews1990 if you watch dead meats channel kill count they cover this movie and james a janisse covers those 2 endings its really great i love that channel
And it also proves the mythos in the 2nd and 3rd. In the 2nd, the morgue dude said that another life would truly cheat the pattern (bringing a kid to life, because even if someone dies and is able to be revived, it isn't enough since they die anyway as we know in a thing for Final Destination 3) and in the 3rd, the dude who went crazy after his gf died by multiple nails to the head said if you killed someone from the survivors that wasn't next to die, it should cheat death. Although that's not proven.

The best way to enjoy Final Destination is to watcb it with buddies who have never seen the franchise as a movie marathon, then see their reaction at the final movie.
This just popped up in my feed. Nice! Having produced all the Final Destination movies, I appreciate the reaction. And in general, I agree on almost all your points. There was a LOT of "figuring this out" as we went along. We also reshot the ending while beefing up certain elements throughout all the sequences. You mentioned the budget, which was $23m back in 1999 (when it was shot), but the very advantageous exchange rate for Canadian currency at the time (we shot in Vancouver) brought the budget to $31m. I do hope you watch the rest of them -- outside of FD4, I think they are all well-executed and entertaining. FD5 in particular was a real return to form. It may be my favorite of the bunch! Thanks again for watching.
oh wow thank you so much for popping in here and sharing the information!! excited to watch the rest of the franchise, movie is a ton of fun! means a lot to have your support here :)))))
@@ReelRejects Of course! I've watched other reactions with you in the past. All good stuff. And in case you were wondering, my order of favorites are -- and they are all in close range -- FD5, FD2, FD1, FD3, and way, way back in the read... FD4, otherwise known as THE FINAL DESTINATION. Why that one went belly up is a long, long story. And yet it was the most successful with a $206m worldwide gross because it rode the 3D wave at the time. Note that FD2 is a direct sequel whereas the others take place in the same universe, with some crossover and easter eggs. I consider FD5 an act of redemption. Oh, and you are partially correct -- no billboards yet, but FD6 got shut down three weeks ago because of the actor strike. We were TWO WEEKS away from starting production. Brutal. Hopefully we can remount first quarter of next year. Anyways, thanks again! Happy viewing!
@@craigperry5389were FD6 and FD7 going to be the final ones? For a while I thought Tony Todd's character was actually Death hiding in human form(obviously they can't stop him)to give the main characters reasons as to why the stuff is happening the way it is
i dont know why FD4 gets so much hate. I actually really like that one. I do think it would have been better without riding the 3D wave and some of the deaths are pretty corny due to needing to be 3D but its still a decent FD movie. I will say FD5 is much better than 4 but 4 isnt as bad as most people say it is
Fun Fact 3: The original title of the film was to be called Flight 180. But New Line Cinema wasn't liking that title so they changed the title to Final Destination.
There was also the issue that the beginning of this movie with the flight was incredibly similar (done on purpose, I think) to the real life incident of TWA Flight 800, I think was the number. It was a real flight in 1996 that took off from NYC and exploded just minutes after takeoff. They may have changed the name for fear the families might sue because of how similar the flight portion was. I’m shocked they still didn’t, that I know of.
@@charlesedwards2856 As foul as it might sound, that made the movie more effective to me. Because I remember as a little kid, they were always talking about Flight 800 on the news on and off for the next three years or so after it happened. Because at first, nobody had any clue how it occurred.
Last year I binged all the Final Destination movies and I got so aware of my surroundings that I got a nervous feeling a week ahead for a concert. I thought it was really silly but the day I took the bus to the concert, halfway a car in high speed crashed upfront and there were 2 fatalities. The most surreal thing I've experienced in life and it hits different to watch the FD Saga now 😅
We all have the ability to "connect" and "know" things, but many of us don't listen to it. I listened to my gut a couple years ago and avoided being electrocuted by my fuse box. I had flipped the switch to turn it off, but I did NOT want to touch the fuse inside to change it. Just a feeling of really not wanting to touch it. Subconsciously I must have realized that the metal prong was still in contact, even though I had moved the switch which should have severed the connection. So, $1,000.00 later, I have a breaker box. I asked the electrician if I had touched it would I have been shocked, he said yes. He said wires were melted very badly too.
I was in kindergarten when I first saw this. A lot of 90s babies saw this series young.. and it traumatized tf outta us 😅😅 glad to see u guys reacting to it.
Fun Fact: the long scene after the bus kill was made specifically because at the time, those kinds of kills were genuinely surprising and audiences at test screening actually needed time to recover from it.
this is why i love these movies it makes you love life even more knowing one wrong slip or fall or accident could be the ending also thank you number 2 for a fear of logs lmfao
Fun fact: This movie actually started out as a concept for an X Files episode. If you really pay attention to the two FBI agents, you can tell they were originally supposed to be Mulder and Scully. One is much more skeptical but the other gradually starts to believe Alex.
Disturbing Behavior (1998) was also originally going to be an X-Files episode. Mark Snow does the score and David Nutter, who directed a ton of X-Files episodes, was also the director.
Devon Sawa really sold me that Alex was someone who'd been thrown into a crazy situation and trying to navigate his way through it and make sense of it all. I attribute Alex's non-reactions to all of the post-vision/plane crash deaths is that he became more and more obsessed with trying to solve the mystery and he really didn't have time to grieve. Outside of Tod, he wasn't really close with any of the other survivors so it allowed him to have more of a detachment and focus on trying to beat Death.
Final Destination 5 is definitely the one I remember the most that will forever haunt me but was so good, hope to see you guys continue this franchise and see how much they get better!
@@TheViper4Life 3 actually had likable characters. 4 and 5 are both trash. I don’t care about the twist that 5 had. Doesn’t change the fact that it was a bad movie. Here is my favorites to least favorites Final Destination films: Final Destination 3 Final Destination 1 Final Destination 2 Final Destination 5 The Final Destination
Roxy is soooo into this elements idea, she forgets death is just death. A being far more powerful then anything else out there. They essentially gave Death the finger and Death was like, "oooo, really? lets try this then."
I can’t believe you’ve never seen this, it was really the 2nd one that traumatised an entire generation and the 5th one well that sure has a twist to it but I won’t spoil that, the new 6th one that’s being made is going to change the rules of Death around a bit so if you now save someone It doesn’t skip you they revealed that a few days ago
"it's called physical comedy" nearly final destinationed me after I laughed so hard I choked on my breakfast 😆😂🤣 I hope you watch all the films, corny as they all are, the final movie has a great twist that ties all the films together!
Watched this and the subsequent films growing up and I can honestly say that 80% of all my irrational fears of random everyday objects can be traced from this franchise. 😂🤧
It’s always hilarious to me when you guys have no clue about any elements of some of these movies 😂 like how were you lucky enough to avoid spoilers and just general info about them for so long? Lol. Love how it’s truly new to you! 🎉🎉
I was shown these movies at a disturbingly young age. I blame them for part of all of my biggest fears lol. My dad told me he watched this at night when he was the only one awake in the house and afterwards he was too afraid to get up and do ANYTHING
Final Destination has always been a fun horror flick to me 🥳 Very well produced. Also, the SIGN at the end, the one that hits Carter.. It says “180” on it ✈️😱 Thanks for the reaction, guys!
This was one of my favorite concepts of any franchise in the 2000s. Death itself as the protagonist had me very curious. The actors they casted in this early film, the twists and turns, who was gonna survive or have the craziest death. From Tony Todd casted as the pallbearer to the original score by the late, great Shirley Walker was indeed awesome. Ever since this first installment, a popular saying has come out of the culture about real, potentially dangerous situations occurring: "THAT'S SOME FINAL DESTINATION-TYPE S***!!!!". If we think bad things are going to happen and they don't, these are the words that you'll usually hear and still hear today. I've only seen the first 3 films and not 4-6. There are 2 different series of literature (novels & comics) and i read the comic series, Final Destination:Spring Break from 2007. One true thing to take away from this is that fate is unavoidable and you just gotta learn to accept it. That is always the realest to deal with.
Stiffler: 25:52 "Please tell me I get to see the Jets win a Superbowl " Me: Bro I'm waiting for them to get back to the playoffs it's been 13 years lol.
Fun fact a lot of the characters were named for horror icons: The ‘hot teacher’ named for classic horror director Val Lewton The detectives Shreck and Weine named for Max Shreck who played Nosferatu and Weine after another classic horror director Robert Weine Sean William Scott is Billy Hitchcock named for Alfred Hitchcock Terry Chaney after Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney Jr. who played several Universal Monsters
The Final Destination franchise was my first ever introduction to seeing Tony Todd as an actor! While some people may know him as Candyman, he will always be known as William Bludworth! To me, at least. I'm super excited to hear more of him as Venom for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 this year!
My favorite in the franchise is Final Destination 3. It has some great elaborate Goldberg type machinations and introduces Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a great lead character. I think it might have been her first starring role and she pulls off the role really well. They’re all the same movie at heart. I just remember not liking 2 and then the series picking up after this one and I think number 5.
This was probably the best reaction I've ever seen on TH-cam. The way you to interact with each other, Roxy trying to figure out what the heck was going on meanwhile drag trying so hard not to tell her. And on top of it all is the fact she's being tortured by a horror movie and Greg just laughing about it I'm saying it's a comedy. I really hope you watch all the movies because they're all amazing. The one of them that's in 3D is definitely hit or miss.
the fact about this movie is that changed the life of thousand ppl, changed the concept of horror movies and it's literally a Milestone in the horror movies. this movie Saga changed completely the mentality of the ppl making them being afraid of everything. +the "dead scheme" it's so cool, this thing is what really made me fell in love with this movie.
I remember watching this when I was 8. Scared me then, but 3 years later the second one came out I was home sick from school and decided to watch it and that pill up scene traumatized me lol.
YES!! LOVE THIS MOVIE! mY family and I saw this on Starz Encore back in January 2002 and it scared the hell out of us! Originally, it was going to be an episode of The X Files, where Mulder and Scully meet a teenager who has the ability to predict people's deaths. However it was settled that it should be a standalone movie instead.
Fun fact, another song that works for the rhythm of CPR/chest compressions is Another One Bites The Dust. (Also you absolutely still do mouth to mouth, it's just that you're supposed to have a face/mouth guard, and you have to make sure you prop them on their side after they start to breathe again, so they don't puke and accidently down.)
Or Baby Shark also works. Also Mouth to Mouth is no longer used because they found out it's not necessary. There was a mouth guard thing for a little bit but now it's only chest compressions.
The new guidelines are something like chest compressions are priority and unless you have a second person to administer m2m then you should focus on maintaining steady compressions instead (and I think there’s something about m2m delivering more co2 than o2 so it’s not terribly effective?) 🤷♀️
Greg: "No I think Death is just trying to stop him, from coming" Roxy: "That's what she said" lolol Need Roxy, Greg, Coy and John all in a reaction video... Night of the Live Dead 1990
Guys! This is totally a Triple H situation. Clear was played by Ali Larter, who definitely was in Legally Blonde. She was also one of the stars of "Heroes" and several other movies and TV shows over the years.
This franchise has some of the most brutal and ridiculous deaths I've ever seen in early 2000s horror movies. Many of the kills hold up to these days movie standards.
2 things…. 1) did you notice that the sign that killed him in the end was a huge “180”? 2) the best Final Destination is the carnival one when the 2 girls go. I hope you watch the other ones!
The ending was a re-shoot. Thats why Ali Larter was blonde. In the original ending (which you can find on youtube) Alex dies, but Clear gives birth to their son (there was a deleted scene earlier where she takes a pregnancy test after the beach scene) and the "new life" is what stops Death's plan. I guess it didnt test well though, so hence why this went with this.
I have a special place in my heart for FD2. It upped the intensity of the kills and had an amazing premonition scene. I also really like FD3. It has some pretty interesting kills. I hope you get to experience them!
every now and then a reaction to this movie pops up on my recommended, and it's always right before i'm about to take a plane to go on vacation lol. im starting to think its an omen. keep me in your thoughts as i fly to disney on labor day hahaha
I’m so glad you guys are reacting to Final Destination! One of my fave horror franchises. I really hope you guys get to the 3rd one, I love that one. Shout out Greg and Roxy! Love y’all!
I’m not a fan of horror but I always loved this franchise for the suspense elements of it! Definitely should watch the rest, I’ve personally only seen the first 3.
I was born in 2005, so i wasn’t born when this came out, But back in 2020 i watched Them all, and they are one of the reasons i Got invested in horror movies so much.
I loved this reaction!! I remember watching these as a kid with my older cousins, and then getting fear of car washes & tanning beds (you’ll see). I hope you guys react to the rest of the franchise 🙏🏼
I feel like Roxy is kinda right about the water/liquid through line. Raining when the plane blows up, Todd slips in water, there are drinking coffee when Carter sees Alex setting off the events for Terri's death, vodka in a in icy mug contributes to Val's death, it's spritzing with wet roads when Billy dies, thunderstorm for Clear, Alex almost drown in muddy water, and then the wine spilling on Alex's diagram sets Carter's death in motion lol.
You mention Death really sucked at this (particularly with Clear & the power cables), but it's more a case of Death toying with them - remember, Bludworth (the mortician) said "its all part of Deaths sadistic design" - emphasis on the sadistic. Death wants to make them fear, to tease them as its setting them up for elimination.
The original title to this was Blue Harvest. Heard that from Mr Sunday Movies. Little known fact, most movies had the working title Blue Harvest I learned. It’s almost unbelievable.
This movie essentially is responsible for the 'turn around and hit by a bus/car' cliche that permeated all through the mid to late 2000s through the 2010s.
I was 13/14 when this movie first came out and baby me was traumatised.. 23 years later and I STILL find myself referencing this film in certain situations and thinking about a lot of the scenes from this movie and the sequels... 😂😅
yup haha. I actually missed out on some of the biggest franchises, havent seen most of the jason or freddy movies either. scream, halloween, & evil dead franchises yes lol
@@ReelRejects I can't wait for your Final Destination 3 reaction. To me, that is the best in the franchise. I actually saw that in theaters when it came out. Most people like FD2 the best, but I'm not a big fan of it. Would be interesting to see you react to the original Halloween movie.

I didn’t drive behind semi trucks for A LONG TIME even now I don’t like driving near them 😂😂
Alex is mine. I love Bludworth, but Alex completely wins me over because of how careful and smart he was.

There was also the issue that the beginning of this movie with the flight was incredibly similar (done on purpose, I think) to the real life incident of TWA Flight 800, I think was the number.
It was a real flight in 1996 that took off from NYC and exploded just minutes after takeoff. They may have changed the name for fear the families might sue because of how similar the flight portion was. I’m shocked they still didn’t, that I know of.
@@charlesedwards2856 As foul as it might sound, that made the movie more effective to me. Because I remember as a little kid, they were always talking about Flight 800 on the news on and off for the next three years or so after it happened. Because at first, nobody had any clue how it occurred.
Nothing fun about this fact
That was a smart move. Turning a 1 time to a whole universe.
Last year I binged all the Final Destination movies and I got so aware of my surroundings that I got a nervous feeling a week ahead for a concert. I thought it was really silly but the day I took the bus to the concert, halfway a car in high speed crashed upfront and there were 2 fatalities. The most surreal thing I've experienced in life and it hits different to watch the FD Saga now 😅
It wasn't your time yet. Death is not after you yet.
There actually was a Final Destination novel that was about this band playing in a basement of a building that collapses
We all have the ability to "connect" and "know" things, but many of us don't listen to it. I listened to my gut a couple years ago and avoided being electrocuted by my fuse box. I had flipped the switch to turn it off, but I did NOT want to touch the fuse inside to change it. Just a feeling of really not wanting to touch it. Subconsciously I must have realized that the metal prong was still in contact, even though I had moved the switch which should have severed the connection. So, $1,000.00 later, I have a breaker box. I asked the electrician if I had touched it would I have been shocked, he said yes. He said wires were melted very badly too.
@@w1975b yup. Quantum entanglement is real.
I feel that so much. Like I already have anxiety and no horror movie has genuinely scared me as much as FD
I was in kindergarten when I first saw this. A lot of 90s babies saw this series young.. and it traumatized tf outta us 😅😅 glad to see u guys reacting to it.
Yes and that is why i rather not take a plane anywhere or ride rollercoasters😂
Fun Fact: the long scene after the bus kill was made specifically because at the time, those kinds of kills were genuinely surprising and audiences at test screening actually needed time to recover from it.
A genius horror movie that doesn't rely on jumpscares, monsters, or serial killers to scare you but just normal everyday things.
this is why i love these movies it makes you love life even more knowing one wrong slip or fall or accident could be the ending also thank you number 2 for a fear of logs lmfao
MONSTERS?
DEATH AKA THE GRIM REAPER IS THE ultimate monster= you just dont see him!
@@mastersword123456789those freaking log trucks. Had me scared everytime me and my family went on road trips when I was younger. Lmao
@eddiejoewalt7746 that is very true. What I like about the writing it can work both ways as a huge metaphor or supernatural being.
@@JesseWhiteman117 same and still does to this day these movies makes you look at death a whole new way
Fun fact: This movie actually started out as a concept for an X Files episode. If you really pay attention to the two FBI agents, you can tell they were originally supposed to be Mulder and Scully. One is much more skeptical but the other gradually starts to believe Alex.
Disturbing Behavior (1998) was also originally going to be an X-Files episode. Mark Snow does the score and David Nutter, who directed a ton of X-Files episodes, was also the director.
Devon Sawa really sold me that Alex was someone who'd been thrown into a crazy situation and trying to navigate his way through it and make sense of it all. I attribute Alex's non-reactions to all of the post-vision/plane crash deaths is that he became more and more obsessed with trying to solve the mystery and he really didn't have time to grieve. Outside of Tod, he wasn't really close with any of the other survivors so it allowed him to have more of a detachment and focus on trying to beat Death.
Final Destination 5 is definitely the one I remember the most that will forever haunt me but was so good, hope to see you guys continue this franchise and see how much they get better!
Final Destination 4 and 5 are the worst in the franchise.
@@Feurthan I always thought 3 and 4 were the worst and 5 brought it back up to 1 and 2's level...especially with the twist at the end.
@@TheViper4Life 3 actually had likable characters. 4 and 5 are both trash. I don’t care about the twist that 5 had. Doesn’t change the fact that it was a bad movie. Here is my favorites to least favorites Final Destination films:
Final Destination 3
Final Destination 1
Final Destination 2
Final Destination 5
The Final Destination
yes
😊😊
I love the fact that roxxi just knows all the character actors
Roxy is soooo into this elements idea, she forgets death is just death. A being far more powerful then anything else out there. They essentially gave Death the finger and Death was like, "oooo, really? lets try this then."
Now I'm waiting for Final Destination 2,3,4,5
I hope they react to 4
@@TheKnight886 yeah baby ❤️🔥💀
You should definitely watch the whole series.. especially the second one and the last one, because they connect very well.
I can’t believe you’ve never seen this, it was really the 2nd one that traumatised an entire generation and the 5th one well that sure has a twist to it but I won’t spoil that, the new 6th one that’s being made is going to change the rules of Death around a bit so if you now save someone It doesn’t skip you they revealed that a few days ago
"it's called physical comedy" nearly final destinationed me after I laughed so hard I choked on my breakfast 😆😂🤣
I hope you watch all the films, corny as they all are, the final movie has a great twist that ties all the films together!
Watched this and the subsequent films growing up and I can honestly say that 80% of all my irrational fears of random everyday objects can be traced from this franchise. 😂🤧
It’s always hilarious to me when you guys have no clue about any elements of some of these movies 😂 like how were you lucky enough to avoid spoilers and just general info about them for so long? Lol. Love how it’s truly new to you! 🎉🎉
u had me at Greg and Roxy. 🏃🏻
This whole franchise is insane and unlocked so many new fears for me. 🥴
I was shown these movies at a disturbingly young age. I blame them for part of all of my biggest fears lol. My dad told me he watched this at night when he was the only one awake in the house and afterwards he was too afraid to get up and do ANYTHING
The actress playing Clear was Claire in the Resident Evil movies.
I like to think about how death had to keep switching back and forth between them, in-between this and the next movie
He’s a little tally sheet which he keeps using so he doesn’t lose track 😂😂
Lmao I love Roxy she’s literally so funny 😭😭😂😂😂 everyone on this channel entertains me with these reactions! I love it❤️
Appreciate the love!!
Roxy’s puns and jokes at the beginning were also top tier lol
Thanks for noticing
Imagine trying to avoid 💀 for the rest of your life like this, you'd be so paranoid & freak out about everything
Final Destination has always been a fun horror flick to me 🥳 Very well produced. Also, the SIGN at the end, the one that hits Carter.. It says “180” on it ✈️😱 Thanks for the reaction, guys!
This was one of my favorite concepts of any franchise in the 2000s.
Death itself as the protagonist had me very curious.
The actors they casted in this early film, the twists and turns, who was gonna survive or have the craziest death.
From Tony Todd casted as the pallbearer to the original score by the late, great Shirley Walker was indeed awesome.
Ever since this first installment, a popular saying has come out of the culture about real, potentially dangerous situations occurring:
"THAT'S SOME FINAL DESTINATION-TYPE S***!!!!".
If we think bad things are going to happen and they don't, these are the words that you'll usually hear and still hear today.
I've only seen the first 3 films and not 4-6.
There are 2 different series of literature (novels & comics) and i read the comic series, Final Destination:Spring Break from 2007.
One true thing to take away from this is that fate is unavoidable and you just gotta learn to accept it.
That is always the realest to deal with.
I saw this in the movies in 2000, with my sister and the next day my sister took a flight to Canada. What a way to go before a trip.
It's Canada. No one will die going there. 😂
@@chuckh4077that's what death wants you to think!
Can't wait for the rest of the franchise reactions. I hope y'all return for this.
Stiffler: 25:52 "Please tell me I get to see the Jets win a Superbowl "
Me: Bro I'm waiting for them to get back to the playoffs it's been 13 years lol.
Fun fact a lot of the characters were named for horror icons:
The ‘hot teacher’ named for classic horror director Val Lewton
The detectives Shreck and Weine named for Max Shreck who played Nosferatu and Weine after another classic horror director Robert Weine
Sean William Scott is Billy Hitchcock named for Alfred Hitchcock
Terry Chaney after Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney Jr. who played several Universal Monsters
FINALLY WE'RE DOING THE FINAL DESTINATION SERIES LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
This legendary duo watching another horror film is exactly what my day needed. ♡
I appreciate this franchise for doing something original instead of giving you a physical entity to be scared of
The Final Destination franchise was my first ever introduction to seeing Tony Todd as an actor! While some people may know him as Candyman, he will always be known as William Bludworth! To me, at least. I'm super excited to hear more of him as Venom for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 this year!
I like how it took 39 days for Death to realize it missed a few kills on the plane 😂😂
The original Final Destination is still to me the best of the franchise. Love Roxy and Greg’s reaction!!! Let them react to all the sequels!!!
My favorite in the franchise is Final Destination 3. It has some great elaborate Goldberg type machinations and introduces Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a great lead character. I think it might have been her first starring role and she pulls off the role really well.
They’re all the same movie at heart. I just remember not liking 2 and then the series picking up after this one and I think number 5.
I’m not even through the first premonition yet and I already know I want these two to watch all 5 movies 😂
This was probably the best reaction I've ever seen on TH-cam. The way you to interact with each other, Roxy trying to figure out what the heck was going on meanwhile drag trying so hard not to tell her.
And on top of it all is the fact she's being tortured by a horror movie and Greg just laughing about it I'm saying it's a comedy. I really hope you watch all the movies because they're all amazing. The one of them that's in 3D is definitely hit or miss.
the fact about this movie is that changed the life of thousand ppl, changed the concept of horror movies and it's literally a Milestone in the horror movies.
this movie Saga changed completely the mentality of the ppl making them being afraid of everything.
+the "dead scheme" it's so cool, this thing is what really made me fell in love with this movie.
I remember watching this when I was 8. Scared me then, but 3 years later the second one came out I was home sick from school and decided to watch it and that pill up scene traumatized me lol.
YES!!
LOVE THIS MOVIE!
mY family and I saw this on Starz Encore back in January 2002 and it scared the hell out of us!
Originally, it was going to be an episode of The X Files, where Mulder and Scully meet a teenager who has the ability to predict people's deaths. However it was settled that it should be a standalone movie instead.
Ali was in legally blonde!! She was Elle’s client that she was defending!
Fun fact, another song that works for the rhythm of CPR/chest compressions is Another One Bites The Dust.
(Also you absolutely still do mouth to mouth, it's just that you're supposed to have a face/mouth guard, and you have to make sure you prop them on their side after they start to breathe again, so they don't puke and accidently down.)
Or Baby Shark also works. Also Mouth to Mouth is no longer used because they found out it's not necessary. There was a mouth guard thing for a little bit but now it's only chest compressions.
@@tkim2320 well they still teach it in Canada so it must just be a States thing that they got rid of mouth to mouth.
Is it encouraged to sing Another One Bites the Dust out loud while performing chest compressions? 😋
The new guidelines are something like chest compressions are priority and unless you have a second person to administer m2m then you should focus on maintaining steady compressions instead (and I think there’s something about m2m delivering more co2 than o2 so it’s not terribly effective?) 🤷♀️
10:15 I love that he says this because the hands are on '10' and '8'. This movie has such fun details when you rewatch!
Love the banter between you two! You guys are great together!
Greg: "No I think Death is just trying to stop him, from coming"
Roxy: "That's what she said"
lolol
Need Roxy, Greg, Coy and John all in a reaction video... Night of the Live Dead 1990
I was JUST about to wonder which Final Destination I wanted to rewatch and this was the notification I got.
Idk if u guys noticed, but the sign at the end said "180" after breaking, which was the flight's number at the beginning
Guys! This is totally a Triple H situation. Clear was played by Ali Larter, who definitely was in Legally Blonde. She was also one of the stars of "Heroes" and several other movies and TV shows over the years.
I thought she was gonna be a bigger star. Sad that she's almost entirely forgotten about now.
That acting with their facial expression after the explosion was impressive, ngl I enjoyed this movie
You can also do CPR to the tune Another One Bites the Dust. I guess it depends on whether you're an optimist (Stayin' Alive) or a pessimist. 😂
This franchise has some of the most brutal and ridiculous deaths I've ever seen in early 2000s horror movies. Many of the kills hold up to these days movie standards.
Roxy: Cuz she looks young and hot?
Greg momentarily looking confused... “Yeah”
🤣
2 things….
1) did you notice that the sign that killed him in the end was a huge “180”?
2) the best Final Destination is the carnival one when the 2 girls go. I hope you watch the other ones!
The ending was a re-shoot. Thats why Ali Larter was blonde. In the original ending (which you can find on youtube) Alex dies, but Clear gives birth to their son (there was a deleted scene earlier where she takes a pregnancy test after the beach scene) and the "new life" is what stops Death's plan. I guess it didnt test well though, so hence why this went with this.
I have a special place in my heart for FD2. It upped the intensity of the kills and had an amazing premonition scene. I also really like FD3. It has some pretty interesting kills. I hope you get to experience them!
No joke, they showed this movie on the plane carrying my high school's French class on a senior trip to France...🤦🏻♂️
every now and then a reaction to this movie pops up on my recommended, and it's always right before i'm about to take a plane to go on vacation lol. im starting to think its an omen. keep me in your thoughts as i fly to disney on labor day hahaha
🙏🏼 all will be well. You will land safely
YEEEA these films go crazy, it's caused alot of people too avoid certain things in life, due to this film. A meme
LOGSSSSSSSS
The second one in the beginning, one of the best carnage ever created in movie history.
PLEASE continue to watch these !! 💕
My older sister really sat me down to traumatize with these movies 😂
the second final destination forever changed how i handle certain vehicles on the road.
I’m so glad you guys are reacting to Final Destination! One of my fave horror franchises. I really hope you guys get to the 3rd one, I love that one. Shout out Greg and Roxy! Love y’all!
When they were in the car before they ended up on the tracks, Clear said the cabin in the woods wasn't far from her house.
I’m not a fan of horror but I always loved this franchise for the suspense elements of it! Definitely should watch the rest, I’ve personally only seen the first 3.
I love the Final Destination franchise. Ali Larter plays Clear Rivers, she also play Claire Redfield in the Resident Evil franchise.
I was born in 2005, so i wasn’t born when this came out, But back in 2020 i watched Them all, and they are one of the reasons i Got invested in horror movies so much.
This franchise taught a generation not to drive behind trucks carrying logs or pipes.
I loved this reaction!! I remember watching these as a kid with my older cousins, and then getting fear of car washes & tanning beds (you’ll see). I hope you guys react to the rest of the franchise 🙏🏼
I feel like Roxy is kinda right about the water/liquid through line. Raining when the plane blows up, Todd slips in water, there are drinking coffee when Carter sees Alex setting off the events for Terri's death, vodka in a in icy mug contributes to Val's death, it's spritzing with wet roads when Billy dies, thunderstorm for Clear, Alex almost drown in muddy water, and then the wine spilling on Alex's diagram sets Carter's death in motion lol.
This movie gives me the paranoia of every little things I did everyday lol
18:43
Roxy -“how is death moving the water”
Greg/Me at the same time - “cause it’s death 😂😂”
I thought everything was trying to kill me after I watched that movie.
You mention Death really sucked at this (particularly with Clear & the power cables), but it's more a case of Death toying with them - remember, Bludworth (the mortician) said "its all part of Deaths sadistic design" - emphasis on the sadistic. Death wants to make them fear, to tease them as its setting them up for elimination.
Roxy wearing those grandpa pants
Loved this! Roxy and Greg are a great combo for these. Can't wait for more Final Destination reactions.
The original title to this was Blue Harvest. Heard that from Mr Sunday Movies. Little known fact, most movies had the working title Blue Harvest I learned. It’s almost unbelievable.
This movie essentially is responsible for the 'turn around and hit by a bus/car' cliche that permeated all through the mid to late 2000s through the 2010s.
Fun Fact 2: This film started off as an X Files episode where Scully's brother was the visionary and she would try to save him.
One of the first horror movies I've ever seen, next to the original Halloween.
wow I just realized Daniel Roebuck was Biggs from the Fugitive with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. Gz on getting to working with him
Yes!!!! One of my favorite franchises 🤪
This is the type of horror movie that traumatized me as a child, and STILL, up to this day, as a grown ass man.
Love this series. Hope to see you guys react to the rest of them⭐️
Shirley Walker who did the music was the legendary composer for Batman: The Animated Series and then Mask of the Phantasm.
I love to see you guys watch the rest of them! 5 and 3 are best ones after 1 in my opinion.
I was 13/14 when this movie first came out and baby me was traumatised.. 23 years later and I STILL find myself referencing this film in certain situations and thinking about a lot of the scenes from this movie and the sequels... 😂😅
You’re a horror fan, but have never watched Final Destination ?? 1 and 3 are the best.
yup haha. I actually missed out on some of the biggest franchises, havent seen most of the jason or freddy movies either. scream, halloween, & evil dead franchises yes lol
@@ReelRejects I can't wait for your Final Destination 3 reaction. To me, that is the best in the franchise. I actually saw that in theaters when it came out. Most people like FD2 the best, but I'm not a big fan of it. Would be interesting to see you react to the original Halloween movie.
Native americans thought that visions of owls announced an imminent death.
Fun franchise with only one weak entry
