Bacon Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I guess you could say Final Destination 5 wasn't the... last final destination movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 cool, they aren't the greatest but they tended to be mindless fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If I were to name my guilty pleasure movie series, this would be one of them. Yeah they aren’t the greatest written films, but some of the death scenes are just great to watch. I really hope they keep them in 3D as well, because the last 2 look great on my projector. how do you top the 2nd highway scene and the bridge collapse in the last movie? Anyone have any initial grand death scene setup? Tsunami beach like opening. Wild Fire like we just saw in Colorado Ripley’s Aquarium like collapse one of them Skywalks on the outside of a big building Skydiving or Red Bull Bi-Plane Competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I kind of feel this franchise would work better as a TV/streaming series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe like a black mirror kind of thing. Either way, I'm hyped. The Final Destination movies are all a lot of stupid fun. The central conceit of every scene being like "oh, what in this scene is going to murder this person" is an ingenious storytelling device. The tanning bed one always gets me. Or the one where the dude wins the lottery, but then narrowly escapes getting his arm stuck in a garbage disposal, only to narrowly escape a fire, only to narrowly escape a rickety fire escape, only to get impaled through the head my a fire escape ladder. I've avoided walking directly underneath fire escape ladders ever since. Really, the writers of those movies have sick imaginations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of these in full, just glimpses on cable. The one that always haunted me is the kid who pops like a water balloon when a massive piece of plate glass falls on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I watched the first couple, but after that, it just seemed too much like gore porn and that isn't my thing. First movie was pretty clever, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamusha Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I strangely enough haven't seen a single one. Should I just watch the whole series or are there only a handful that I should bother with? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re all connected with my memory thinking except for the 4th in the series being the only one that isn’t. Still they’re like 90 minutes long and go pretty by fast, as they all have a great massive opening action scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 If it weren't for the kids, I'd definitely rewatch these. I can sneak in a good ole' pg-13 here and there, but these would invoke questions from my 3 year old that I'm not ready for. 'Daddy, does death really have a plan?' I don't think I've seen 4 or 5. I've seen the plane, the wood hauler and, I think, the roller coaster? The wood hauler being my... 'favorite'. I kind of remember poor visual effects from the roller-coaster accident.

For some reason I always thought they were completely separate from each other almost like an anthology series. It's cool to know they connect - I'll check them out soon. I always have fun watching long-running franchises for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 So what kind of opening accident do we think the new one will feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 They're fun, silly movies and worth watching if you like horror movies. Though the basic idea is essentially the same in each movie, the Rube Goldberg-ishness of the franchise is clever and preposterous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People tossed from inner tubes high into the air, one sliced in half by a paraglider being pulled on the back of a jet boat. Jostles line causing it to catch the line to be pulled in by the motor propellers, slicing glider up. Boat can’t stopped and crashes on land and into families having a BBQ. Propane tank loosens, spark lights tank, sends it off like a rocket into someone and pinning them to a breaker wall by the beach. Someone buried in the sand can’t get himself loose, propane tank lites sand on fire and causes sand to glass over the person. One of them water jet riders loses control with pressure spiking on his controls and falls sideways towards people and water jet starts ripping the skin from their faces like a high pressure power washer. just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This honestly sounds right up my alley I just never got around to them for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
