I don't know why but I just imagine death being so petty and upset about not getting to use any of his Rube Goldberg deaths on Alex that he personally threw the brick instead of just making it fall
I imagine that picture of Charlie Day by the conspiracy theory board and it’s death coming to the conclusion that he himself has to throw the brick cause it’s the only/simple way it’ll work 😂
I actually like to think of some long sequence of events like the movies always have..... maybe some construction workers working on a building high up & something spills into something that slips into something that falls into something that knocks a brick off ...... & Alex is walking on the street & stops to do something nice (open a door/pick up something an old lady dropped/etc) & gets hit in the head .....
I cannot drive anywhere near a log truck without thinking about that highway crash. I think this is the only movie to actually scar me. But hey, that means it worked.
One think about that viral video of the lady freaking out on the plane is I saw comments saying "I would get off! It's like Final Destination!" and I would think "Honestly, I hope you all are worrying about being distracted on the road way more than you are worrying about this." Plane crashes are super rare, the shit in this opening scene happens every day.

@@TupocalypseShakur Yeah, I replied to the comment below me. Not saying that Gen Z’s haven’t seen these movies. Just that I’d consider it more of Gen Y thing.
For me is the best, the third is bad, but I dont i never like those games because I got sick so I would never be in one, but a car accident is something that all people could experience, I think that is the more real of all the movies, and why the four and the five is not very interesting to me,
Glad you continued! FD2 and FD5 are my favorites, but for different reasons. Timmy from the dentist sequence was originally... nine years old, I think? ... but the studio felt he was WAY too young to kill in such a brutal fashion. All of the car crashed in the opening sequence were done practically, which I think really makes a difference. What's interesting is that most of the logs are digital! Twenty years later, I think the VFX holds up pretty well. Roxy, you are correct -- we never thought we'd be making a sequel so we were kinda making it up as we went along. Greg, you are also correct -- usually most of the character work in these movies are cut out after previews. People just want to get to the kills ASAP. [Apologies for some copypasta] Two interesting notes -- the scene in the car where they all realize they're connected to the survivors of Flight 180 in the first movie? The studio wanted to cut that scene. We had to shoot other scenes faster to earn it, and even then they didn't want it. And it's the most critical scene in the movie! Sigh. They also didn't want to shoot the scene where Rory tells Kimberly to hide all the stuff that might break his Mom's heart. We snuck in two takes of the scene without telling them -- that's why it's in one shot with no coverage. And finally, Roxy, it's staties -- I'm a Masshole myself.
It’s great that you take the time to watch and respond to these reactions. May i ask whats the studios perspective of this explosion of channels reacting to films? I think it’s positive in keeping films more relevant but I’m interested to hear how they feel. Thank you.
@@the_33rd I hope they appreciate the reactions. I wasn't going to watch FD 5 because I wasn't too impressed by FD 4. After seeing reactions, I had to buy it so I could watch it more than once, and it's actually my favorite. Not to give anything away, the first premonition scene is my biggest fear in 5. Maybe that's why I chose it over 1 and 2. But if there were no reactions to 5, I would not have bought the movie or even watched it. My favorites are 5, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The fact that the opening premonition in FD2 is mostly practical with v. few exceptions is probably why it was so effectively terrifying at the time and to this day. Also, I'm so glad that ya'll fought for the scene that connects it to the first movie. Part of the reason this movie series is so enjoyable is how all of them are generally connected to the original.
Wow, with the context of the kid originally being written as much younger makes stuff like the tucking-in bedtime scene make a lot more sense. Though as a result it did give the overprotective, infantilizing mom an interesting extra layer of characterization that might not have been there if Timmy hadn't been rewritten/recast.
In the "Choose Your Fate" DVD edition of Final Destination 3, a newspaper blows by, revealing the two surviving characters from the second movie, Kimberly and Burke ran into each other at a hardware store and a Camaro ran through the store, knocking them into a nearby wood chipper. Kimberly's coat was tangled and was snatched into the machine. Burke attempted to save her, and both were dismembered. Since this is an alternate, this may not be considered to be canon. So those characters may still be alive.
Based on how the other movies end, I doubt they lived It seems like death is petty and just says "okay you get a blank slate, oh look I have a train crash in 9 months, it be a shame if you happen to be on it"
My headcanon is that Death got tired of making elaborate Rube Goldberg-esque death traps that regularly fails, so he simply just threw a brick at Alex.
Just so you know because of your head canon of an enraged death hurling the brick at Alex yelling "Why wont you just die!" only for it to hit and kill him resulting in Death after a moment of complete shock doing the "I meant to do that" claim and shuffle off in embarassment.
This makes me feel better picturing something to what you and the other comment said. Just imagining death pissed off chucking a brick. & when it worked him being shocked at first, then just him laughing slow and giddy that's turns into maniacal laughter. Cause offscreen and a brick?! Like come on! 😅
Fun Fact 2: In terms of Alex's cause of Death, they had a good series of ideas. One was the blade of a ceiling fans falling on him. They scrapted that and thought having one of the other characters die on screen but never used it. Another was a spider bite. But one that they really thought of saying was a flesh eating virus. In the end, we got the falling brick to the head.
The original creator recently spoke in an interview that he wanted Alex as the Dr. Loomis of the franchise basically but FD2 spat on the character and even Clear's. FD2 had such odd writing and it's hard for me to like knowing what they did to Alex and knowing what the franchise creator originally wanted from Alex.
Feel like the should have just left it. It looked like him and the bully from the first one die at the same time in the last scene of FD1. Should have killed him there with the same sign
Idk if someone already said it, but the character of Tim was originally written to be 10yrs old, which is why he seems so young, but they didn’t want to kill a kid in such a brutal way, so they aged him up to 15.
@@liamwarner5749 It isn't off camera, it's just in the background (kind of) but they also have his partially cooked arm land on his mother's dish in front of her, I mean come on lol
@@LordLOC Hmmm I remember him walking off and the explosion happening in audio form only but it has been a long time since I watched the film rather than reactions. An arm isn't really the same as seeing a child squashed flat.
@@liamwarner5749 No they definitely show the kid getting blown up, it's even in the reaction here. You see him standing there and the BBQ exploding etc. And yeah, getting squished flat would be worse, but in the end you are still dead lol
My mama and grandma (may they both RIP) became paranoid around log trucks and trucks with metal bars after seeing this. They absolutely hated being behind one of them in traffic.
I'm not entirely sure that it's Death that's giving the signs, but something else. Like, the whisper to Kimberly to wake her up so see could see the news story in the middle of the night and have it in her head the next day. Something's trying to stop them from Death, but can't intervene with free will. It's almost like a chess game of Death vs Life, with the free will of humans being the chaotic wild card...
It is absolutely Death giving the signs. They are the things that directly lead to the deaths. When Kimberly yells towards Tim "Pigeons!", That is when Tim notices them and gets the idea to scare them off. If Kimberly hadn't distracted him, he most likely would have just continued his conversation with his mom about the dentist and walked past the birds.
@redfox3334 Or the pigeons that the sign was originally referring to were the pigeons that led to the kid being suffocated, but it also saved the mother from being electrocuted. Why would Death give a clue to Alex about the bus in the first movie, the seatbelt, . Why would Death give them clues to help them cheat it? Why give the premonitions in the first place? They all seem like warnings and only those who are paying attention or in tune with what's needs to be seen... I feel like Life chooses those who would take heed to their warnings and be proactive in helping the others. If it had chosen other characters like Carter, Billy, the dope fiend, the mom & son, the motorcyclist, etc, they orobably would be so quick to help everyone else. Even Clear might not have been proactive to save everyone on that plane. Clear was clearly an empath though, therefore, someone very in tune so although she never saw the vision Alex had, she felt everything he felt and she later had her own vision (or just her empathic feelings being triggered, maybe giving her a sign in a way that would connect to her instesd of an actual vision?) that saved Alex in the end. I think this is the doings of Life, not Death...
@@langdonledwig3734 Because everything that happens in these movies IS Deaths actual design. The ending proves it the most. We learn that all of the characters in this movie were prevented from dying in other accidents because of the cast of the original, so they, along with the us, believe that to be the reason they are all targeted now. If the original cast hadn't survived the plane, everyone in this movie would have made it to the places they should have died. None of their situations they escaped were prevented, they just weren't involved in them. Then this cast crashes into a farm and at one point the son on that farm is almost run over by a news van that is there because of the big crash, but Rory saves him. We then see Death come for that kid at the end, but if they had died in either of the previous accidents, they would have never crashed in that farm, then the kid would have never been run over by a news van in the first place. That kid was ALWAYS meant to die standing at that gas grill.
I can’t wait for y’all to reach #3! I know we talk about the log scene scarring us but the next one had me praying every time I was at an amusement park 😭
I imagine death as a grumpy underpaid guy just with a checklist and when someone cheats him he's just " Are you freaking kidding me ! You know how long it took me to plan all of these!"
My headcanon is that Alex was such an MVP at evade all the death complicated shennanigans that one day Death was like "ah fuck it" and just drop a brick into his head
OMG, I was driving along the highway about a month ago and ended up behind a log truck. My heart almost jumped to my throat, and I spent a few minutes nervously driving behind the truck, before it turned off, and all I could think was "I don't care how secure those logs are, I've seen the movie." Another great reaction, and can't wait to see you guys react to the next one
this film is 20 years old now but still has some of the best practical car stunts ever put on film. the crazy thing about it is its not too far from reality, highway pileups do happen in real life. the way this film expertly plays on the audiances everyday fears is what makes this film shine and why i still think its the best film in the franchise.
Roxy jumping on the chair in panic over the dentist scene is great! lol ^_^ It's ok, my wife the same way. Goes into full on panic mode at the dentist.
The opening was all done by practical effects, stunt drivers EXCEPT the log...they tried to do the log practical but it came off the truck no where near bouncing the way they wanted it to. Huge respect to the coordinators and stunt drivers.
I seem to recall it's somewhat hinted that Tony Todd is death. In the first movie he's the one who told them about the whole death coming for what's owed, and being playfully vague as if encouraging them to try and live.
This one is my fave Final Destination. I was working in a theater when it came out and the staff had so much fun watching all the deaths over and over again. The crowd was a good one too and that's not always the case, lol. That pane of glass, tho. 😂😂 And of course the logs. That traumatized SO MANY people, 🤣🤣
27:21 Clear is mad cause He told her that death has a distinct design. But now that the list is backwards she thinks He knows more than he told her. She literally says this in the scene earlier hahahah
The deaths in the opening scene reminded me that two students I graduated w/ died weeks after our graduation. One was crushed by a log that got loose off a logging truck when he was passing it, the other wiped out and died riding a motor cycle... Pretty messed up
The first scene made so many people think twice before going behind one of those big rigs with heavy loads. My sister stayed off the freeway for 3 months after watching this film. LOL!
I really love the plot point that the survivors are connected to the survivors from FD1. I thought it was really well done and I like the idea that death has a ripple effect even beyond the plane crash.
i love all of them respectively (except the fourth which is still a decent for me) but what makes me love this the most is the connections to the other survivors of 180. i remember even as a kid being mind blown with that concept. it was so neat.
@@retro_vintageThey don't look replies to the comments because why would they, and anyone who watches these reactions should have already seen 5, which is over a decade old. How about you mind your business.
@@michelle6337 Greg literally reads and likes these comments. He's literally liked your first comment here in this thread. They're watching these movies for the first time. Thanks for ruining it for them and not just owning up to being wrong and inconsiderate.
The rules are pretty straightforward. And the ending was explained. The cop and the girl are already cleared because she legit did die. The drug guy saving the kid added another ripple, so death had to clean up the kid.
Final destination 3 is the best one to me. They give you good characters plus the main girl is the best out of the franchise. The deaths in their are great.
The little detail i like about this movie is that when Kimberley has the premonition, we didn't see any of her friends inside the SUV. They basically never survive the initial roll-over which just hints of them not surviving the crash at all. All of the movies after that have that same little detail, but for different people, but i won't spoil any of them. And yes - all of them are worth watching.
What's especially funny is you were 100% right about Canadian casting/shooting. This movie came out in 2003. The terrible Sheriff's Deputy was played by an actor who also was starring in a lead role in the new Sy-Fy series BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA, which was filmed in British Columbia at the same time!
Clear should of been the leader right through out the entire film series!! It would have been so much better that way!! The ultimate final girl!!!!💪😎❤👏🙌🙏👍🎉
I was once driving on the road behind a truck with logs on it and I remembered this movie and was too paranoid so I pulled over until the truck was very far ahead
was actually talking to a friend and my hubby today about this franchise and said how i can watch the first one with out fearing planes afterwards, but 2 will always make me wary of log trucks because i'm in a car more often whereas i take a plane 2-4 times a year so chances are higher of a car crash than a plane crash
I feel like Kimberly was never meant to die. Her car was leaking fluid, she should've listened to her father and gotten off the highway. Losing her friends was punishment for being in the way of Death's design. When she was accidentally added to the list, Death gave her the key to new life.
Not only you just predicted the song that came on the radio within this movie but also near the end of this reaction at 1:08:07 you just predicted the song that also came in the third movie...which was the song ''Love Rollercoaster'' within the tanning beds death scene 😂
I love that this horror movie is all about how futile it is to run from death. But I'd like to see a character embrace it fully and live like it's their last day and going out the way they want to mainly because people die and i get no one wants to but no one lives forever. Idk rather live than be afraid but i dont want a tortuous death either.
so i don’t know if this will come off as a spoiler, but on the 3rd movie’s dvd there’s a “choose their fate” option, and in one of the endings a newspaper clip is shown that says officer burke and kimberly do end up dying in a “wood chipper accident”
at least from what i remember hearing, it was like that because the production team and sawa had “differences” and they were like okay well then f you, and made a lousy death off screen for him which sucks because it should’ve been crazy.
Death has a new list and put them back on it. They dont have to be in the same order but they are still on it and i think that with every new person they save or intervene with makes the list longer.
When I was little we had to go to another city to get me to a hospital (leg surgery stuff) and my mom was with us, since we had insurance that provided a ride to the location. My mom starts freaking out and freaking the driver out because on the road with us was a log truck, motorcycle, police vehicle, van, sports car, basically all the vehicles from the opening scene. I was too little to understand why my mom was freaking out but I guess now I see it's very justified lol.
So in the vision, the first to die was officer Burke, the. Eugene was crushed by his motorcycle, Rory flipped his car a bunch then was blasted by a semi, Cat died in a rollover, Nora and Tim died from the water bottle stopping the brakes, Evan burned alive/was hit by a semi, and then her friends and her were hit by the same out of control semi. So working backwards, it gives us the order we see in the movie with death also throwing a few attempts at Clear.
The actor that was the cop played the original Jimmy in Lois & Clarke the new adventures of Superman in the 90's ( the one with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher)
That what makes Alex's death that much more funny he was always looking for the big contraptions where death was making grand gestures so he got caught by just a brick.
It really gets on my nerves that the writers completely forgot (or neglected to research the first movie) that Clear is an empath. They don't even have her make an excuse about how being in solitary has disconnected her from people or how the trauma has made her fixated on her own emotions. It would have been an emotional scene for her to confide in someone on how she lost her gift, especially since it could have saved her life when the guy is panicking as she approached the door. It would make that scene all the more heartbreaking, knowing that by essentially being dead on the inside leads to her physical form dying. Although, I think it also would have been cool if she kept her empathic ability and became an unstoppable reaccuring character throughout the series.
The creator of Final Destination wasn’t planning to kill Claire or Alex off. He also got annoyed how they just killed him off with a brick because of the schedule issue Alex have by not returning back to FD2 and messed up the original movie plan
The blonde girl at the beginning (Kimberly’s friend) is the actress who played Alicia on Smallville and Cicada II on The Flash. I’m still not over what they did to her on Smallville!
So when my friends and I saw this in theaters I was laughing so hard about the brick thing. I was like "Yo Death straight up was just SUPER frustrated w/ all his elaborate schemes they were dodging and was chilling atop a construction site and just chucked a brick at him and smashed his head and was like '...NO FUCKING WAY THAT WORKED!!!." Which then lead me to realize the world's deadliest weapon... brick-chuks!

@@liamwarner5749 It isn't off camera, it's just in the background (kind of) but they also have his partially cooked arm land on his mother's dish in front of her, I mean come on lol
@@LordLOC Hmmm I remember him walking off and the explosion happening in audio form only but it has been a long time since I watched the film rather than reactions. An arm isn't really the same as seeing a child squashed flat.
@@liamwarner5749 No they definitely show the kid getting blown up, it's even in the reaction here. You see him standing there and the BBQ exploding etc. And yeah, getting squished flat would be worse, but in the end you are still dead lol
My mama and grandma (may they both RIP) became paranoid around log trucks and trucks with metal bars after seeing this. They absolutely hated being behind one of them in traffic.
I'm not entirely sure that it's Death that's giving the signs, but something else. Like, the whisper to Kimberly to wake her up so see could see the news story in the middle of the night and have it in her head the next day. Something's trying to stop them from Death, but can't intervene with free will. It's almost like a chess game of Death vs Life, with the free will of humans being the chaotic wild card...
It is absolutely Death giving the signs. They are the things that directly lead to the deaths. When Kimberly yells towards Tim "Pigeons!", That is when Tim notices them and gets the idea to scare them off. If Kimberly hadn't distracted him, he most likely would have just continued his conversation with his mom about the dentist and walked past the birds.
@redfox3334 Or the pigeons that the sign was originally referring to were the pigeons that led to the kid being suffocated, but it also saved the mother from being electrocuted. Why would Death give a clue to Alex about the bus in the first movie, the seatbelt, . Why would Death give them clues to help them cheat it? Why give the premonitions in the first place? They all seem like warnings and only those who are paying attention or in tune with what's needs to be seen...
I feel like Life chooses those who would take heed to their warnings and be proactive in helping the others. If it had chosen other characters like Carter, Billy, the dope fiend, the mom & son, the motorcyclist, etc, they orobably would be so quick to help everyone else. Even Clear might not have been proactive to save everyone on that plane. Clear was clearly an empath though, therefore, someone very in tune so although she never saw the vision Alex had, she felt everything he felt and she later had her own vision (or just her empathic feelings being triggered, maybe giving her a sign in a way that would connect to her instesd of an actual vision?) that saved Alex in the end. I think this is the doings of Life, not Death...
@@redfox3334why would death give people preminitions to try to beat its design
@@langdonledwig3734 Because everything that happens in these movies IS Deaths actual design. The ending proves it the most. We learn that all of the characters in this movie were prevented from dying in other accidents because of the cast of the original, so they, along with the us, believe that to be the reason they are all targeted now. If the original cast hadn't survived the plane, everyone in this movie would have made it to the places they should have died. None of their situations they escaped were prevented, they just weren't involved in them. Then this cast crashes into a farm and at one point the son on that farm is almost run over by a news van that is there because of the big crash, but Rory saves him. We then see Death come for that kid at the end, but if they had died in either of the previous accidents, they would have never crashed in that farm, then the kid would have never been run over by a news van in the first place. That kid was ALWAYS meant to die standing at that gas grill.
Like tru calling. I did t really watch that show but I saw a few spit, my mom was a fan of it.
Make sure to at least stick around till that *Dentist Scene*
Not a problem, I stick around until the video ends, I love your discussions after a reaction!
Filmed in Canada 🎯
Let's go for fd3 !!!!!
The one scene I can't watch, I am right with you on that!
@@reginaphalange30 For me the death scene I don't like watching is in a later film but I'll say no more till they watch it to avoid spoiling things.
I can’t wait for y’all to reach #3! I know we talk about the log scene scarring us but the next one had me praying every time I was at an amusement park 😭
That movie real made many people scared of roller coaster.
The tanning bed scene is on par with the logs in terms of fear for me!!
I imagine death as a grumpy underpaid guy just with a checklist and when someone cheats him he's just " Are you freaking kidding me ! You know how long it took me to plan all of these!"
My headcanon is that Alex was such an MVP at evade all the death complicated shennanigans that one day Death was like "ah fuck it" and just drop a brick into his head
OMG, I was driving along the highway about a month ago and ended up behind a log truck. My heart almost jumped to my throat, and I spent a few minutes nervously driving behind the truck, before it turned off, and all I could think was "I don't care how secure those logs are, I've seen the movie." Another great reaction, and can't wait to see you guys react to the next one
this film is 20 years old now but still has some of the best practical car stunts ever put on film. the crazy thing about it is its not too far from reality, highway pileups do happen in real life. the way this film expertly plays on the audiances everyday fears is what makes this film shine and why i still think its the best film in the franchise.
I feel like these movies just descend into "how can we come up with gorier and gorier ends for these characters?" and honestly, I love that for them 😂
The sudden realization you guys realized it’s eye and not “ayeee” lmaooo that was the best. Love you 2 ❤❤❤❤
The main character is Death. Death is carrying us through the franchise.
"soobie doobie doo" 😂😂😂 i love roxy's energy.
Roxy jumping on the chair in panic over the dentist scene is great! lol ^_^ It's ok, my wife the same way. Goes into full on panic mode at the dentist.
25:09 HAHAHHAHA GREG DYING LAUGHING WITH A KID DYING IN A SUPER VIOLENT BRUTAL WAY
And the mom crying 😂
I’m so glad you continuing this series just don’t get traumatised by the logs like an entire generation lol
I'm 20 minutes in and just loving how much they are surprised by this movie. This is the MOST underrated horror movie EVER!
The movie that made everyone incredibly paranoid to drive behind a logging truck.
You'll never see trucks with logs on the road the same life time fears this movie brings
It skillfully accomplishes the horror genre's most basic goal: scaring the hell out of you.
Greg had me for a second when he said he wanted a Roller Coaster in the third movie. I was like "hell naw he didn't just say that" lol.
I'm pretty sure once watches FD 3, he will grow paranoid about Roller Coasters.
Greg and Roxy are now about to feel the pain and fear we've all felt driving behind a truck like that lol
Greg: I'm on the highway to hell 4:10
Later: 4:54 😂😂😂
I'm SO happy you guys are continuing to do these movies! This made my day 😂 Hopefully, I'll see you both react to Final Destination 3!
The opening was all done by practical effects, stunt drivers EXCEPT the log...they tried to do the log practical but it came off the truck no where near bouncing the way they wanted it to. Huge respect to the coordinators and stunt drivers.
Thanks man great stuff!
22:58 Roxy curling up into a tiny little stress ball in anticipation 😂
I seem to recall it's somewhat hinted that Tony Todd is death. In the first movie he's the one who told them about the whole death coming for what's owed, and being playfully vague as if encouraging them to try and live.
This one is my fave Final Destination. I was working in a theater when it came out and the staff had so much fun watching all the deaths over and over again. The crowd was a good one too and that's not always the case, lol. That pane of glass, tho. 😂😂 And of course the logs. That traumatized SO MANY people, 🤣🤣
"they do puzzles in the bathroom" is the greatest description of the Saw franchise I have ever heard 😂😂😂
Lmao idk what’s up with me sometimes
@@roxystriar you're golden lol
27:21 Clear is mad cause He told her that death has a distinct design. But now that the list is backwards she thinks He knows more than he told her. She literally says this in the scene earlier hahahah
The deaths in the opening scene reminded me that two students I graduated w/ died weeks after our graduation. One was crushed by a log that got loose off a logging truck when he was passing it, the other wiped out and died riding a motor cycle... Pretty messed up
Great Reaction Greg and Roxy! The highway crash scene and the other death scenes are so brutal in this movie! 👍
The first scene made so many people think twice before going behind one of those big rigs with heavy loads. My sister stayed off the freeway for 3 months after watching this film. LOL!
CRAZY! I've watched this movie so many times and I never caught the "EYE" magnet thing with the first dude's death 🤯
I really love the plot point that the survivors are connected to the survivors from FD1. I thought it was really well done and I like the idea that death has a ripple effect even beyond the plane crash.
i love all of them respectively (except the fourth which is still a decent for me) but what makes me love this the most is the connections to the other survivors of 180. i remember even as a kid being mind blown with that concept. it was so neat.
@@john.c.munoz04 And it gets even more mind blowing when you get to 5 and realize FD1 wasn't the beginning ripple.
@@michelle6337how about we not spoil things
@@retro_vintageThey don't look replies to the comments because why would they, and anyone who watches these reactions should have already seen 5, which is over a decade old. How about you mind your business.
@@michelle6337 Greg literally reads and likes these comments. He's literally liked your first comment here in this thread. They're watching these movies for the first time. Thanks for ruining it for them and not just owning up to being wrong and inconsiderate.
The best of the entire franchise!! The Highway scene!! When you know, you know!!!
Can't wait for 5 ! Final Destination 5 is my fav of the franchise... 😍 It is impactful ! You'll see. 😋
The rules are pretty straightforward.
And the ending was explained.
The cop and the girl are already cleared because she legit did die.
The drug guy saving the kid added another ripple, so death had to clean up the kid.
Alex Browning was Devon Sawa. You were right.
Yesss! Keep ‘em coming! I love this franchise. Can’t wait for the 3rd final destination reaction
always a pressure watching these lads!
Final destination 3 is the best one to me. They give you good characters plus the main girl is the best out of the franchise. The deaths in their are great.
Cant wait for you guys to watch the rest of them!
Plis they need to see 4 it's fun bad death sequences was sick
The little detail i like about this movie is that when Kimberley has the premonition, we didn't see any of her friends inside the SUV. They basically never survive the initial roll-over which just hints of them not surviving the crash at all. All of the movies after that have that same little detail, but for different people, but i won't spoil any of them. And yes - all of them are worth watching.
Growing up in northern BC and being afraid of logging trucks due to this movie was pretty brutal, lol
What's especially funny is you were 100% right about Canadian casting/shooting. This movie came out in 2003. The terrible Sheriff's Deputy was played by an actor who also was starring in a lead role in the new Sy-Fy series BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA, which was filmed in British Columbia at the same time!
The highway crash scene is legendary !
Clear should of been the leader right through out the entire film series!! It would have been so much better that way!! The ultimate final girl!!!!💪😎❤👏🙌🙏👍🎉
You skipped the kid at the dentist saying “if I wake up with my pants undone, we ain’t payin.” 😂
I was once driving on the road behind a truck with logs on it and I remembered this movie and was too paranoid so I pulled over until the truck was very far ahead
That beginning sequence still f***s with me.
The actress who plays Clear was in heros for the first few seasons
She was also Claire Redfield in the Resident Evil movies With Alice(milla jovovich)
This made me NEVER drive behind a truck with logs on the highway
You and 99.9% of all drivers 😂
@6:45 “sometimes I am the freak “ lmfao 🤣
My favorite. So many life lessons...especially for driving on the highway. 😮😂😂😂
Every year or 2 I rewatch the whole series around Halloween, and then I am paranoid about EVERYTHING around me for days.
I’m lovin’ Roxy takin’ the drivers seat in these reactions, Greg. Great stuff. 😜👍
That opening sequence is one of the best death sequences put to film period
The guy who got blown up in the hospital was the vocie actor for kratos in god of war at some point
You mean every game until the 2018 version
I never drove behind a Truck with logs Ever again after watching this movie when it was released years ago 😅
roxy looking soo fine with that braided ponytail she is gorgeous i love roxy!
IM SURPRISED YOU GUYS DIDNT DO THE DESCENT 2. YOU LOVED THE FIRST ONE
Yes! Yes! Yes! My favorite of the 5! So glad you are reacting to this franchise! Can't wait for the rest of the videos
was actually talking to a friend and my hubby today about this franchise and said how i can watch the first one with out fearing planes afterwards, but 2 will always make me wary of log trucks because i'm in a car more often whereas i take a plane 2-4 times a year so chances are higher of a car crash than a plane crash
I feel like Kimberly was never meant to die. Her car was leaking fluid, she should've listened to her father and gotten off the highway. Losing her friends was punishment for being in the way of Death's design. When she was accidentally added to the list, Death gave her the key to new life.
This movie surpasses the original imo. 2, 3 and 5 are my absolute favorites, but I love all of them.
Not only you just predicted the song that came on the radio within this movie but also near the end of this reaction at 1:08:07 you just predicted the song that also came in the third movie...which was the song ''Love Rollercoaster'' within the tanning beds death scene 😂
Whoa... Accident at the middle of the movie happened on MILE MARKER 180!!! Crazy!!!
I love that this horror movie is all about how futile it is to run from death. But I'd like to see a character embrace it fully and live like it's their last day and going out the way they want to mainly because people die and i get no one wants to but no one lives forever. Idk rather live than be afraid but i dont want a tortuous death either.
so i don’t know if this will come off as a spoiler, but on the 3rd movie’s dvd there’s a “choose their fate” option, and in one of the endings a newspaper clip is shown that says officer burke and kimberly do end up dying in a “wood chipper accident”
It was a shame Alex's death was so anti-climatic. (Not to mention off screen).
Yeah.
They probably did that so they'd be able to bring him back.
at least from what i remember hearing, it was like that because the production team and sawa had “differences” and they were like okay well then f you, and made a lousy death off screen for him which sucks because it should’ve been crazy.
Two logical statements. One, log trucks are a death trap.
Two, Roxy is en fuego…
Greg predicted like 50 things correctly this movie!
Death has a new list and put them back on it. They dont have to be in the same order but they are still on it and i think that with every new person they save or intervene with makes the list longer.
I see Roxy, I click immediately.
When I was little we had to go to another city to get me to a hospital (leg surgery stuff) and my mom was with us, since we had insurance that provided a ride to the location. My mom starts freaking out and freaking the driver out because on the road with us was a log truck, motorcycle, police vehicle, van, sports car, basically all the vehicles from the opening scene. I was too little to understand why my mom was freaking out but I guess now I see it's very justified lol.
I love how candyman is in this movie!😂
I never understood his caracter though 😅
So in the vision, the first to die was officer Burke, the. Eugene was crushed by his motorcycle, Rory flipped his car a bunch then was blasted by a semi, Cat died in a rollover, Nora and Tim died from the water bottle stopping the brakes, Evan burned alive/was hit by a semi, and then her friends and her were hit by the same out of control semi.
So working backwards, it gives us the order we see in the movie with death also throwing a few attempts at Clear.
They should make a Final Destination Wedding on a tropical island, with Kevin James and Adam Sandler's whole posse.
4:57 Greg 😂😂😂 “I can FEEL DEATH”
The actor that was the cop played the original Jimmy in Lois & Clarke the new adventures of Superman in the 90's ( the one with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher)
I just realize the main character (kimberly) actually A.J Cook (JJ in criminal minds)
I have a blown up moment right now
That what makes Alex's death that much more funny he was always looking for the big contraptions where death was making grand gestures so he got caught by just a brick.
It really gets on my nerves that the writers completely forgot (or neglected to research the first movie) that Clear is an empath. They don't even have her make an excuse about how being in solitary has disconnected her from people or how the trauma has made her fixated on her own emotions.
It would have been an emotional scene for her to confide in someone on how she lost her gift, especially since it could have saved her life when the guy is panicking as she approached the door. It would make that scene all the more heartbreaking, knowing that by essentially being dead on the inside leads to her physical form dying. Although, I think it also would have been cool if she kept her empathic ability and became an unstoppable reaccuring character throughout the series.
The creator of Final Destination wasn’t planning to kill Claire or Alex off. He also got annoyed how they just killed him off with a brick because of the schedule issue Alex have by not returning back to FD2 and messed up the original movie plan
The blonde girl at the beginning (Kimberly’s friend) is the actress who played Alicia on Smallville and Cicada II on The Flash. I’m still not over what they did to her on Smallville!
So when my friends and I saw this in theaters I was laughing so hard about the brick thing. I was like "Yo Death straight up was just SUPER frustrated w/ all his elaborate schemes they were dodging and was chilling atop a construction site and just chucked a brick at him and smashed his head and was like '...NO FUCKING WAY THAT WORKED!!!." Which then lead me to realize the world's deadliest weapon... brick-chuks!
