SERIES SYNOPSIS: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

I think we can all agree that Final Destination has the scariest concept of all time.
Yeah. I did stupid shit to prevent my mom and bro to not be killed by death
@@lopeza.8046 Especially the second one with that traffic and the 3rd with the Rollercoaster
Everybody dies horribly
No😂
It’s scary for sure, but not even close to the scariest. TBH even the film Fall is a concept i find way scarier lol
I love that this movie series was able to spark anxiety into people without a tacky cgi monster or whatever's going on nowadays 😭
Horror moves in waves, I’m a fan of horror movie monsters but only when they’re done well. I think Stranger Things came at a really good time where the social zeitgeist was really thirsting for a solid creature feature.
I see a truck filled with wood trunks/metal spikes/barrels I try to get ahead of it. If I can't I visit nearest gas station and have coffey. I will not drive behind that nightmare fuel.
Oh but the tacky 2000s cgi is perfectly fine though? Some of the effects were bad even back then, but suddenly when you have to dump on modern movies it’s good? Huh
@@kujo4388 modern movies suck 99% of the time tho, so Itʼs fine to hate on them. Itʼs not just the bad CGI itʼs everything. From dumb storyline to script that looks like AI generated fanfiction. Bad effects are just cherry on top.
I’d say the movie “annihilation” comes to mind when thinking good horror movie with cgi
To this day I cannot drive behind a log truck without being just a little suspicious 😅
I'm scared to drive on the freeway
As one should
Hell even pickup trucks with long rails or ladders just freely hanging beyond the end of the truck bed
Every time I'm behind any kind of log or other large item truck. I immediately think of Final destination 2. It's so iconic
Neither almost every latin american person, the movie influence is huge still we make references
The tanning bed death scenes in the third film is still the most traumatic death I've ever seen in movies. Some of the deaths in the series are instant, but that one was slow and painful, you can honestly feel their pain as they burned to death. What a horrible way to die.
Yup. Scarred me for life and now I hate that song.
it permanently halted my trips to the tanning salon that's for sure.
I was afraid of that scene too but then I read somewhere how that could never happen because tanning salons cannot legally put shelves or any other items above the beds for safety reasons.
@@C.Dat.guyoverthere still gruesome as hell
Funny thing is they could have just reached out and pushed board into the other bed thus “unjamming” it I’m aware it’s how it was scripted but it’s not logical
Final Destination 3 is probably my favorite of the series, thanks in no small part to Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
She devoured her performance as Wendy
Same fell in love with her since sky high ,n was devastated when she died that why but few years later she came back as Ramona flowers 🌺
omg mine too
@@madtitanangelo5079 Sky High also had Danielle Panabaker :-3 who looked very cute with that hair.
Agreed!
The best part about this video is when I learned that real logs don’t bounce high and while yes a big log in the road is still an immeninet danger, at least it won’t hit me right in the face
I mean it might hit you in the face if it launches straight out of the back of the truck into your car, which has actually happened.
@@FrenkTheJoy gee thanks for this
Take comfort in that you likely wont die from a log on the road.
But if a semi blows a tire, and you are on the side of the blow out...the steel tire tread will launch out and well.....end you.
Death.....it seems......comes for us all
@@FrenkTheJoythe momentum wouldn’t allow it to crush through the car like that tho. It would still be moving forward. Unless the car behind it is going like 100 mph and wrecks into it.
I was too young to see final destination 3 in theaters, so me and my friends bought tickets for big mamas house 2 and just snuck in. Best time ever lol
You really missed out . Final Destination 3 was great, but Big Momma's House 2 was a cinematic masterpiece 🤣🤣🤣
I remember when Michael Bay's Friday the 13th came out, me and my cousin's and their friend went to try and see it.
My cousin's mom was cool as fuck, and tried getting us in, but they wouldn't let us without her sitting with her..... and she definitely didn't wanna see it.....
So she bought us tickets to Taken instead.
My cousin's friend still went into FT13th, and was pestering us just to sneak in.
I was a pansy and didn't wanna risk getting kicked out of the cheapest theater in town(don't think I ever even returned) so I was the only reason me and my cousin's stayed in and watched Taken instead.
A month later we pirated FT13th.... and immediately all agreed....
TAKEN WAS SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER AND WE DIDN'T REGRET A THING AFTER IT!
big momma rules
I’ve seen you everywhere on yt bro
@@MurderCrypt me? Lol
This is one of my favorite horror series. The elaborate Death Scenes were great, even if they do get ridiculous as the series goes on.
Mine too :)
I so want a 6th film.
The highway scenes in FD2 made me paranoid for a while
@@danielrubinstein896 yes! Lumber trucks will always freak me out for the rest of my life!😬
@@anubusx its on the build supposedly
I think of these movies every time I get on a plane. Or the highway. Or a roller coaster.
I think of these films when I refuse to leave my bed.
or the dentist, or an elevator, or a pool, or a movie theater, or...no place is safe
Or in the tanning bed, or at a family barbecue, or any place where Rocky Mountain High starts playing.. these movies may be the reason I'm a hermit.
Yeah 😊
The third movie is the reason why I'm terrified of rollercoasters, I haven't stepped on one since
Mary Elizabeth Winstead's performance and the tanning bed death scene alone make FINAL DESTINATION 3 the best and most loved film in the entire franchise!
For one second I thought that was Aubrey Plaza lol
No
No. Not at all.
nah, the first is still the best
I like the detective aspect with the photos by guessing how people will die
I heard about this guy from the 1800s who tried to go across Niagra Falls and after his boat capsized he held on to roots against the current for 18 hours only for the rescue boat to also capsized and he ended up dying, I remember thinking I guess he was just supposed to die that day but then I though how much I want a victorian era final destination film.
I think there's a book or maybe just a fan story of an FD set in like the wild west or colonial America
Joseph Avery, 1853 - title of a very moving poem about his death.
Tbf dying in the victorian era was the easiest thing to do
The first final destination was a brilliant movie, such a different one compared to other horrors at the time. How do you defeat the inevitable? Such a bleak subject matter but was done so well, one brilliant movie.
Not really original though. The Omen series had a similar concept where people died in freak accidents. The only thing is, they were caused by the antichrist who was trying to eliminate those who knew his secret or were trying to stop him but it was nevertheless the blueprint for the Final Destination movies.
@@devontehuntley6274 majority of the fans of these films don’t actually watch movies nor do they watch older ones.
@@kujo4388 And your point here exactly. Whether or not they know about The Omen series is irrelevant. I'm simply stating there is another series out there with a similar concept that already existed years before this one in case they don't know that or didn't realize they were the same if they do.
@@kujo4388 lmao that's a generalization.
@@devontehuntley6274ow is it not original? What you described isn’t the same since revealed, those “freak accidents” were intentional. FD is very unique in where there is no “villain” & no 10,000 year old curse or something to stop. Just death coming for you because it missed. Inevitably terrifying.
As much as I like these films, they fill me with so much anxiety and dread that I just don't revisit them often. The 3rd film is my favorite.
In my humble opinion, the Final Destination movies (primarily the first one with big honorable mention to the sequel) really changed the landscape of horror and “disaster” movies. It really put the fear of just how horribly things could go with everyday life and how if death wants you, it’ll get you however it can take you. Whether it be with something as simple as a bus, or whether it be waiting silently after years. You can let your guard down, or even call after taking every precaution possible. It really injected that fear and anxiety directly into the public. There’s a reason why people still think of these movies when they’re about to board a plane, or when people drive behind logging trucks or even large trucks in general.
Or getting on a rollercoaster!
or as something mundane as a brick falling from a house as you walk by (how alex's died btw)
I know the characters talk about it, but one of my favorite moments of the second Final Destination was when all the characters mention how they were gonna die if it wasn't for the events of the first movie. It felt really nice towards the first one and just one of my favorite moments and thought it was really cool.
Yes, I love how everything ties in. It was mentioned that one of the classmates had a cousin that was on the plane in the third film. That was one of the only continuations in that
Yeah, it was a nice way to connect the first two movies together. Also, it was also interesting that Final 5 was actually a prequel to the first movie.
@@nascarfanatic2425 I really liked it also. Really interested plot ending. I also was wondering first time through why haven't they noticed this has happened before then the ending shows why
@@2handle. right I actually forgot about that but rewatched it and thought it was neat
@@nascarfanatic2425 I LOVED that twist. It made sense and none of us connected why there was no modern (at that time) technology in that film, turns out it was the past all along
I love the third instalment. Mary Elizabeth Winstead really sold it for me. Plus the tanning bed scene was solid af
Tony Todd is the best thing about these films, the man just OOOZES charisma and screen presence, I'd love to have that kind of just, screen guile, he doesn't have to do anything, he just has to stand there and you take notice
"...and you don't even want to FUCK with that McDaddy."
The delivery of that line. Love it.
I completely agree! It’s sad he was only in 3 of the movies. Well he did voice the devil for the roller coaster but I feel his physical appearance would of made a better impact.
@@Beans4431 I have a theory his character was Death in disguise the whole time which explains why he doesn't show up often later
@@onceafetus426 honestly I believe that 100000000% because before I watched the movies I thought like he had something to do with it. 😂
@@Beans4431 he was in final destination 5 too
There are so many things they did right in Final Destination 3, and casting Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the lead was the best one.
Please, please, please!
Tell me why is it that people love that one the most? And why is it that she's so praised?
I want to watch all of those films, but could you write me an essay specifically on what things the film-makers did right with the third one that makes it and the lead actress stand out?
@@Winter-Alpha-Omega Nothing Really, She's a really great actress. The Only lead character that acts exceptionally well is Devon Sawa in the first film. He Was perfectly cast in my opinion.
The character doesn’t stand out at all. She’s just attractive with a default personality. Clear was so much better and actually acted like a human.
@@mehashi disagree, think she portrayed trauma the best out of all protagonists in all the FD films. at least i think she was the most convincing even during the cringe acting era of 2000s movies
What killed the series was the fact that everyone loses, every time, leaving no way to change it up. The whole (awesome) concept is just completely locked in. You can't really change anything.
The final destination basically confirmed this.
@@TheEnigmaticBM39 *sad face*
i guess that is the issue with their "advesary" being death, a constant and neverending thing, there is no escaping that, i guess that's why i like the series so much, the fact that it forces the characters to face their own mortality, and make peace with what they've done i guess, that said, i guess death is a sore loser, i mean, for what reason did the deaths have to be so damn gory, could've just done something like a heart atk i guess, but that doesn't make for a fun movie XD
@@shadowmaster335 the really stupid thing is the complete pointlessness of the "saving" visions in the first place.
@@jcaseyjones2829did the movie ever explain whats the visions is in the first place? Who or why the main character suddenly have a visions of their death? Just to have death come after the survivor one by one after the main character save them from an accident that would kill all of them
Shirley Walkers score for 1 & 3, literal masterpiece, may she rest in peace.
She was amazing. I always loved her music since I heard the batman animated series and it's various themes.
@@nickb1729 I have the score from the first 3 FDfilms on CD and they are not bootleged either! They are limited edtion promotioanl versions released in Europe!🤗💽🙏👍
@@SuperMarioBrosIII honestly i love that for you, cherish them with your life
Definitely like the first 3 films. The 4th one, i don't know what the hell they were doing with that. The 5th was pretty good and more grounded than the 4th. For reason though I find myself rewatching the 3rd film most.
@Seventhkeyomegasghost8233 That's because the late David R Ellis directed FD2 and FD4. James Wong directed the original and the third films in the franchise! It's too bad Wong didn't direct all 5 films!?🤔🎥🎬🎞
Me too!
@@SuperMarioBrosIIII guess 2 Wong’s couldn’t make it right
Badum dum 🥁
The first Final Destination movie is one of my all time favourite theatre experiences. The anticipation of impending deaths was physically uncomfortable
The first trilogy was absolutely amazing!
The first movie was brilliant. The 2nd and 3rd had great first accident scenes but the kills started getting more and more unbelievable. Screws unscrewing themselves and water magically moving where it needed to go. They’re still enjoyable to watch but I wish they had kept the accidents more believable. The actual kills were great tho!
Compared to the first one where the friend slipped on the cleaning agent that magically transferred itself over to where he would step, hanging himself, and then recede back to where it came from? It’s simply an issue with any sequels where they’re expected to up the ante or somehow do something entirely new while maintaining the spirit of what was originally done (very difficult to do).
@@CaulkMongler Didn't that happen in the first movie?
They made death an omnipotent/supernatural force...
Always wondered had they not showed up and screamed at Tim about the pigeons he would have never ran after them thus not died’
Same with elevator
Had they not called and freaked the lady out saying a man w/ hooks she wouldn’t have panicked when her hair got caught
Screws can unscrew themselves in certain situations. I worked in a hardware store filling gas cylinders from the large tanks and one time I actually saw the screw that held the valve handle slowly unscrewing itself from the constant vibration of the gas flow. That freaked me out because I'd seen FD5 in cinemas only a week prior. Glued the screw into place to stop it from happening again.
Clear confirms Alex's death in Final Destination 2. When she's in the hospital and Kim tells her she has a responsibility to help, Clear shows her a picture of Alex after he was killed by a brick to the face.
I didn’t watch these movies until after surviving a workzone crash which killed by coworker on a highway. The portrayal of Death was spot-on to what I was experiencing during the time between the state of shock and when PTSD actually settled in. Honestly, this helped me strike a balance between being able to go outside, but also be wary of real dangers for which I must remain aware 👍🏻
The franchise that scared a whole generation from driving behind log trucks
I grew up loving these movies.....saw all in theaters.....now 35yrs old & I can't not think of the 2nd one when I see a log truck. Just can't.
Out of the first three "Death Visions", the second one is the one that sticks with me the most. You can usually avoid getting on an airplane and roller coasters are typically only found in pricey theme parks. The highway though... you typically take it on the way to work 😳
My main problem with FD3 is that the accident was caused by the pervert bringing his camera on the ride. In the vision, he loses the camera when it's knocked out of his hands and it falls down onto the tracks where it gets stuck. This camera is what caused the crash. However, he gets off the coaster after the girl freaks out over her vision and He Takes The Camera With Him. Therefore, there shouldn't have been a crash
WOW. ... GREAT CATCH
I thought one of the rail pipes broke loose too?
@@iamjro Yeah, but the camera made the actual accident occur though. Even if the rails were loose, the incident should not have happened that quickly or maybe even at all until other rides of it were done down the line.
Well said Cooper
@@iamjro that's not what caused the train to go out of control though
A staple movie of the 2000s and such a unique concept of thriller/horror for that time and still holds up nearly 25 years later
Crazy how the 2nd one is my favorite with the best concept (death fixing the ripples) but got the least.
Also, amazing video!
I've always liked how subdued and mysterious the first film was.While I understand the appeal of the sequels and seeing the creative deaths, I miss the sense that there was a way out, a way to escape death. With the sequels, it just becomes obvious that they're all going to die horribly eventually, whether it be on screen or not, so it kind of ruins the plot.
The third installment is the best, no questions asked
Nowhere near as good as the first two films but opinions differ!
@@irina1296 agree to disagree!!!
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is such a great actress in that one. 3 is the most underrated one for sure
5th one lol.
It's number one
The first 3 films were amazinggg
I agree, but you just can't help the whole franchise right? Or is it just me?
It should’ve ended at 3, I hope the upcoming one surpasses my expectations tho
I love the first 2 movies. They play on some of the biggest fears we all have. The plane crash and highway pile up scenes are nightmare inducing.
I bet when they sat down to brainstorm all the different death scenes for all these movies I bet they came up with a lot more gory more crazy but plausible situations. The creativity that death has itself the concept and how random it is. If you were look at death as an artist , and you really thought about it then you would realize that Death has an unlimited well of creatively random and frighteningly chaotic moments to think of or create.
For how complex us humans are it does not take much to end our lives .
Isn't it frightening how at any second, in any way, anything could happen that could kill you????
Yeah. The most comedic too. I mean the first 2 and 1/2 deaths yeah but. Eh
Critics don't care if a movie is good, they usually live in a different world from us normal people!
The concept of this movie is still living in my head rent free I had to sometimes stay alert when i ride an elevator 😂
These movies are my guilty pleasure. The best thing about these movies is the horror because stays with you long after the movie. That’s horror done right.
Final destination 2 and 5 ate just the best out of all of them mainly cause their big death scene is just more real, in my opinion. Not all of us hop on the plane or ride roller coasters or watch a Nascar race, but nearly all of us use highways and bridges.
The twist in the 5th one still lives rent free in my head
@Sahar Pournazari I love the rewatch of the 5th cause you notice all the old tech and lingo it was such a great twist at the end I was left jaw dropped in the theater
No. Not At all.
I don’t think the horror movie has affected how I act in the real world more than Final Destination… and by that I mean, whenever I see a truck with big logs on it, I merely go to the farthest lane away from it, based solely on the movie
the third is my personal favourite, i've nearly slipped out of a harness on a massive ride before and that fucked me up and just added to my already intense fear of heights, 3 got me in concept harder than any other of the films, and the photo idea was a really neat concept i think
The bus accident in the first movie was something I can never forget. It was the first movie scene that I saw in a movie theater that actually made me jump out my seat and run up the isle lol. I remember the entire theater having a similar reaction. Priceless
Yeah so, the "Paris" scene at the end was actually filmed in my hometown of Victoria BC here on Vancouver Island. Downtown has some Victorian era architecture that was close enough to pull off the European look.
Specifically they are sitting in Bastion Square.
Gotta love JoBlo Horror on a Sunday morning.
And on a Monday afternoon
Don't forget on a Tuesday night
Final Destination 3 is my favorite. The rollercoaster scene is thrilling and every death is memorable. The interactive dvd was a fun time too. Also it has Mary Elizabeth Winstead in a lead role, need I say more?
I loved this series. The less we say about the fourth one though...the better.
Audiences didn't like Final Destination 3??!!! That's the best movie of all of them. It's so fun and amazing.
Interesting that it started as an X files script, because I distinctly remember that one kid (the guy who dies in the bathtub) was one of the 'creature of the week' monsters in an episode. That being I think the only other place I remember that actor from.
I wonder if Wan & Co. worked on that particular episode?
And I guess on doing my homework, it is the same actor (Chad Donella), the episode is called 'Hungry' and they did NOT write it, Vince Gilligan did lol.
Omg that’s why he looked so familiar! Wasn’t he the guy who worked in a fast food restaurant and ended up eating people? 🥹
That’s where I saw that dude from before
@@magicmarvel Yeah he was like a real life vampire ghoul thing with removable dentures over pointy teeth, and a wig I think. Been a while but for some reason it was just one episode that stuck with me.
I am the biggest Tony Todd fan, I swear if i ever meet him in real life, it would mostly likely result in me embarrassing myself in a total fangirl freak-out moment.
Rode in an elevator at the Palms Casino with him during a horror convention. Neither me nor my 6'2 boyfriend could say a thing to him. I was just amazed at how tall Tony is in person. But yeah, just me, Tony, and my bf in an elevator, which I have a huge fear of. However, Candyman in the elevator with you just takes it to 11. Also the Palms elevators had like mirror panels inside so it gave it a fun house effect as well. Best convention experience ever though
Final destination 1: Death comes to get you
Final Destination 2: Death comes to get you
Final destination 3: The main character "accidentally" kills everyone, she did all the heavy lifting.
The guy that got tailgated: the main character started the truck rolling
The suntan girls: Got trapped because the main character called them
Gym guy: The main character made him boast, which got him killed.
The girl that gets nailed: Main character interfered, no one would have gotten hurt
The last death might be a stretch: he got killed because he wanted revenge, which is because his GF just got killed in front of him because of the main character indirectly; She did bring him there for Death to finish off, just like the rest.
Wendy really did most of the work in this movie...
I’m obsessed with this take. I love this way of looking at the story
I remember reading about the original ending of the first film a long time ago, and I gotta say I really do wish they would have gone with a mix of that and the one they went with. Either have Alex or Carter sacrifice themself at the very end to cheat death that way to win the movie and establish that as a thing. Or, based on the second movie and how it played out, have Alex and Clear make the baby but Carter dies, and the two of them win for making a baby. Then in the sequel when the "only new life beats death" or whatever becomes canonical they can find an internet post about cheating death and visions posted by Alex and Clear, they track them down and the then learn about the rule that way. Only since there was already a pregnant chick there have the main chick realize that won't save her or the others unless they survive long enough for that chick to have her baby. Make it more about them cheating death than just looking for the signs.
The concept of Final Destination is absolutely brilliant. Couple that with the time it came out, the young cast and the fact that horror movies were amidst a sort of Renaissance... It's become a modern day classic that is almost impossible to hate. It's also a movie that I will watch whenever it shows up on cable. Definitely a solid series.
The concept is absolutely ridiculous if you were referring to the plot (even for horror movies). I assume you mean brilliant as a marketing concept ie. It was overall a very profitable franchise for the genre (people don’t watch horror movies for the plot).
the reason the final destination films are so iconic and impactful is because instead of the typical horror movie monsters, the horror of the films were centered around accidents that can very much happen to just about anyone in real life, which gives everyone who's seen the movies a sense of dread and everlasting unease after watching.
Definitely a fan of the 1st two movies on the franchise. Kinda went off the tracks from there,pun intended 😁
I always thought that Ian supposedly holding a gun towards Wendy. So it's more convincing that he caused Wendy's death.
The road crash is very impressive. Practical effects all the way!! I wish the character from the first film did not die in 2. The saga should have had a continuous thread like Scream to get people hooked for the next one.
The third one is my second favorite (after the first).
Also it had the best recurring song…so creepy!
There is a quote toward the climax of the first movie where Ali Larter's character, Clear Rivers, says something like, "You can stay at my dad's cabin. It is just a couple miles from my house." And that just... it just makes me laugh so much
The Final Destination franchise is one that will _never_ get old for me. While it's always about death coming for you, the creative possibilities in each potential storyline are endless.
At least the first three try to connect with each other's movies.
Death is just trying to do his job and someone is messing up his work and now he has to clean it up 😆 So the villain is the one sending premonitions to these people 😂
Mary Elizabeth Winstead🌹
this series scarred me for life as a lil kid. I'm over most of the things but whenever i see that log truck irl, I'm instantly getting reminded of the movie and do my utmost best to drive safely near one.
I remember watching the first movie with some friends as a teen and eventhough they never scared me I can totally see how and why they can affect people. One of my friends stood up at one moment out of the blue and went to the next room. When we saw he wasn't going to the bathroom and was just walking around in the room we paused the movie and another friend went to see if he was alright. He said "I'm not scared about things like freddy because I know they don't exist, but this is death". He was having a mild panic attack. And he was right. Except for the water magically receding there was nothing weird about the "villain" of the movie. You can get hit by as a bus or have something dropped on your head at any moment.
I think the convoluted ways people get killed in the sequels add to the entertainment value but (most of) the deaths in the first one seem so real and plausible that they trigger a basic fear that no other horror franchise does.
That log thing happened to me in real life except with a ladder. It was terrifying some how I didn’t get hit. That movie makes me paranoid to drive sometimes.
great movies, I still have much love for this franchise
I graduated highschool in 06 so I've always felt nostalgic about that one. Second fave of the franchise after the first. That tanning bed scene is brutal.
That original ending makes so much more sense though.
Love all of your bts info and personal thoughts rather than just explaining what happens in the films - great vid!
I’m curious to know, what was everyone’s favorite beginning death scene and why?
None. I know they are fake but still every death just ups my worries on how I can possibly die 😅
And some how I still watched them
@crunchyfresco maybe a better question is which premonition did you think had the coolest effects and was most impactful
Aside from that log scene, something that sticks out for me was one in FD5. The scene where one of the characters was covered in hot tar.
While most, if not all, "deaths" were quick, he had to suffer for a while. If you look closely, his skin literally came off as he tried to hold on the bridge.
Definitely FD 2 - the greatest opening!
I love that I'm from the area this is all filmed at, and have been on that rollercoaster many times. Made it all feel super real to me and my friends.
Hey Justbwanted to say thank you for creating this content CONSISTENTLY. You’re in a league of your own. Thank you.
as a massive horror fan who rarely gets shocked, these movies actually scare me.
They traumatized a whole generation, especially seeing a car carrying logs lol
Huge fan of both you and the Final Destination franchise 💖 thanks for sharing 😁
I love how they never get old!
This series single-handedly traumatized an entire generation into being better drivers with one scene. And personally, the pool scene in the 4th movie is the only scene out of all these films that I cannot watch.
Final Destination 3 was MOST DEFINITELY my favorite. I remember in middle school me and my friends were scared to ride The Hulk Rollercoaster 🎢 at Universal for our 8th grade field trip because of FD3 😭😭😭😭
I consider the first 3 a trilogy. And it’s a great one at that. The other 2 films were just fun little add ons. And number 3 is my personal favourite.
1st one didnt have a great opening death scene. Part 2 deserves credit for starting that in detail.
Yeah, that logging truck scene is so insanely well done. Completely terrifying.
There's actually an urban myth about the roller coaster song. You can hear what sounds like a woman screaming in the recording, which apparently was someone being killed in the studio. In the film, they specifically loop that part of the song. I heard about this a few months before seeing the movie, which made the scene that much more haunting.
I don't understand how the accident on the 3rd happened (like obviously they couldn't let everyone live) but technically it shouldn't have happened. The perv with the camara and the two girls he was stalking were among the survivors, and the camara is the thing that caused the derailment if I remember precisely
I've always had the same thought but then again, death will just find a way.
@@C.Dat.guyoverthere Right but then she should've had a new premonition showing the correction, like that's the whole point of the movie, right?
Audiences never fail to feel the complete opposite of what critics do when it comes to horror. This genre should be left to the fans, and critics should instead focus on dramas since their opinions on horrors mean 0.
The series is fantastic - great concept and well executed - STILL hold up after decades !!!
A Big Fan of the Franchise. One of the Best.
Final destination 1& 2 are both great film especially the highway scene
I remember the feeling i had the first time i saw the plane crash premonition scene. It was like i was there. I needed to pause for 10 minutes just to process what happened
Never knew this was an adaptation of a potential X Files episode. Very cool. Now that you mentioned the ties with the show, the Actor who Plays Todd is actually the shark guy from the later episodes when t-1000 is on and not Mulder or Scully. Pretty interesting to see the connections behind the movie. That shark episode was horrid and nothing to par of the original beginning seasons. He needed brains for food
Awesome video!
Still get nervous driving behind trucks to this day. Poles. Wood, ladders, anything can take us out
I love that they did so many practical effects.
To this day, everytime i'm on a highway behind a big truck i remember the highway accident scene. Is was epic. Nobody can deny that.
these movies are such classics
That log scene on the highway lives rent free in my head til this day. Anytime I see a truck hauling logs or pipes, I get the hell away from it.
The 3rd is my favorite. Such an amazing work of art.
FD3 is my fave of the whole series. I remember seeing it in theatres when i was 20 and immediately was obsessed!
Pretty cool hearing the first was mostly filmed on Vancouver island where I live! I'm definitely gonna keep that in mind next time I watch this classic
Loved the series. There are rumors another one is coming. The way they ended the last one was perfect. So I assume it’s a reboot.
I will never forget what I was doing that day that I first watched this movie back in 2004. I was 10 years old visiting my grandma(my mom's mom) in Mexico with my family. One day my dad wanted to pay respect to this saint's shrine on top of a mountain so he took me and my two older brothers to climb this mountain and the journey to the top was crazy once there we saw pictures, flowers, candles, and letters thanking the saint. All I could remember was the view from the top it was beautiful. It was time to go down the mountain and my eldest brother ended up cutting his hand pretty bad getting down so we rushed to my other grandma's(my dad's mom) house she helped him out. We ended up going back to my grandma's house(my mom's mom) and they had been promoting this movie for that whole week and it so happens to be on the tv when we get there and it traumatized me and my brothers and sister. I used to fear Death because of this movie, but now I understand it's apart of life.
