Hi Eric and Sarah, awesome reactions like always :-) i had a question is there a specific reason why the movie you are watching is now only shown on a small screen, in your older reaction videos the screen was much bigger?
The airport was actually in Canada near where they filmed the X-Files. Vancouver International Airport was used as a stand-in for John F. Kennedy International Airport, the airport mentioned in the film. It was tricky to not have the Canadian flag flying in the scenes where the teenage cast are dropped of by there families. Filming took place on Long Island for the plane scene. Alex's father is actually the same as the actor who played Robert Patrick Modell (Robert Wisden), in series 3, ep 17 of The X-Files episode Pusher.
This was originally going to be an episode of The X Files, with Mulder and Scully investigating a teenager with the ability to see people's deaths before they happen, beginning with the plane explosion, and that Mulder and Scully might be next. This was changed into a standalone movie instead of an episode.
You should totally watch the sequals. I have a theory but won't go into it until after you've seen them all. 5 especially will blow your mind. Keep in mind "The Final Destination" is actually the 4th film.
The enemy is not some psychopath, a monster, nor some vengeful ghost... Its fate itself. Its literally a "if you gotta go, you gotta go". Extension is not an option.
I think you may have confused James Wong who directed this and Dragonball Evolution with James Wan who directed Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring. This was a fun reaction, so glad this channel is back!
Interesting piece of trivia surrounding this film. Final Destination was originally written as an X-Files episode, but became a movie and spawned an amazing franchise of sequels. Just as The Shawshank Redemption was just a small Stephen King short story that became perhaps the greatest cult film of all time. The story of this film is of course just like something out of the X-Files.
Not to add to the horror of a plane exploding, but it's not just the people in the plane that die... The debris from the plane pieces also take the lives of those unlucky enough to be underneath when it exploded... There was one story of a plane that exploded (I think it was Ireland in the 80s, I could be complete off on location and year, but this event was real) and one man lost his ENTIRE family (wife, son, daughter) and neighbors when a chunk of the plane crashed into the house while visiting and he was on a business trip.
Such an incredible movie and franchise I loved it so much. Favorite scene is when she crawls in the window and all her lights start exploding I mean what a scene that was!!
My first time flying on an airplane I was alone taking a trip to California and the first stop was Denver, Colorado the plane hits bad turbulences and I gripped my arm rest and said out loud, "Oh god, we're gonna die!" and I'm panicking and thinking about this movie and that song by John Denver and I'm on my way to Denver and I panic some more. Then the plane goes back to normal and I'm covered in sweat trying to calm down and some of the people around me were like, are you ok? Ah I first time sucked the few other times were fine.
This film franchise I imagine was definitely responsible for increasing people's paranoia about even some of the most mundane activities or events people participated in on a normal basis, like running an errand to go grocery shopping; because you find yourself wondering if there were any odd or out of place occurrences you might have encountered that day that just might have served as a warning that something was going to go wrong today. Plus, if you pay special attention during the boarding scene in the beginning of the film you'll notice something very odd that Alex's character gets a quick glance of while looking downward prior to stepping on the plane.😳
No sarcasm here: if I was on a plane and some random guy woke up and started freaking out that the plane is gonna blow, I would be off of that plane so fast lol, fuck my ticket and the prices I don't care, as far as I'm concerned I just got a warning from the gods haha, ignore it at your own peril. Obviously the whole Death getting revenge is BS, but I don't mess with premonitions man, especially when they involve my death Edit: I also sure as shit wouldn't be angry at the guy who had the vision, if it indeed did save my life. Like dude, you're a hero as far as I'm concerned
YES! Part 2 is by far the best one - greatest premonition, best acting, mature characters unlike super annoying teens, great ending, unique way to cheat the death etc
I don't have the Director's answer or anything but why Alex was able to have the premonitions doesn't have to be a profound event. That's like asking why a child was born as a twin, or why a person is born with a mental disability. Sometimes things happen at random and for whatever reason Alex was given the premonition to which he had freedom of choice and could have chosen to ignore it. Everyone dies when they are supposed to and there's no cheating death. His choice to leave and save others caused a chain reaction. Why the chick believed him?? Easy, she just did. Some people literally would choose to believe a person like that in general. Maybe she had a gut feeling that something felt off or she was the type of person who believes in the mystical, paranormal, conspiracies, etc. People believe in aliens, people believe in Kanye, people believe in flat earth so I don't think there needed to be a philosophical reason why she believed Alex that much.
Not sure, if you know there’s alternative ending that was supposed to be canon ending but changed it due to wanting to make franchise of final destination
Recuerdo que despues de ver esta película me daba miedo hasta de caminar en mi propia casa 🥲😵😵💫 I remember that after seeing this movie I was afraid to even walk in my own house 🥲😵😵💫
Not a huge fan of the Final Destination series (though Tony Todd is always great), but Devon Sawa has been a fave of mine since SLC Punk and Idle Hands.
Some of the films in the series are pretty bad, but the deaths are always elaborate and entertaining. Personally, I think that 5 is the best after the first. :)
This film ain't perfect by any means but I love it. Saw it in the cinema as a 12 year old and had a great time. The sequels are a mixed bag but the 2nd and 5th ones are the best of the series IMHO. Glad you guys are back:)
@@tmm4195 I’ve come to appreciate FD3 more. Winstead is the best lead actor other than Devon Sawa, the gimmick with the camera was a fun addition, it’s got memorable deaths, and it actually ended with a setpiece with the subway premonition. I still like 1, 2, and 5 more, but it’s not far behind them. 4 is just “meh”.
5 sucks too like 4 due to the same over reliance to CGI. You barely see any practical effects there compared to the first 3 final destination movies which are interconnected in some way.
That would have certainly been a strange twist for the film but I think it would have been a little too on the nose but I definitely had the same suspicion when I first watched the film, if only because of Tony's association with horror in the past.
Fifth was actually a great way to close the series. I'm not gonna spoil it, but you've definitely got to close it off with that. You'll be surprised. 😉
@@boboboy8189 With heart? Seriously? Part 5 makes its characters KILLERS themselves. There is no even 1 likable character unlike FD1 and FD2. Plus the acting is God-awful. Just compare Alex and the lead idiot from FD 5.
@@irina1296 I mean if we're being honest, the only movie where the acting is great is the 3rd movie. The only movie where the acting is awful is the 4th movie. The others are pretty okay acting wise. The 5th movie is honestly pretty good and a great way to close the franchise
@@tmm4195 Are you sure? The original film was 100x better in acting than part 3. FD 2 was also better than childish annoying teens from FD3. I guess you're a Winstead fan. She was good as a lead but she was nowhere near as great as Alex in the first film. His acting was over all leads. Other FD 3 characters didn't show any acting talent. At least FD 2 had adult characters which automatically makes this film better than FD3
Most definitely! I'm sure for some of us after having watched this film franchise you begin to question yourself every day you wake up, is there a chance I might have encountered some odd occurrence that could be mistaken as a warning that something was going to go wrong today?; and to consider the possibility that it could be the most mundane of errands you run on a regular basis that could all be leading to your untimely end probably makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.😳
FD3 and FD5 are nowhere near as good as FD 1 or FD 2 in terms of characters, acting, impact. I love FD3 but still. FD5 is only good because of its twist. The opening premonition would be great but cheap CGI blood ruined everything
Hope you enjoy the reaction everyone! Should we watch the sequels? 👀
yes they are all worth watching imo
You should watch at least the second movie, it was a movie that traumatized a whole generation.
I highly recommend it, overall they are fun to watch
YES! 2 and 3!!!! are even better!

Did not know that. Very interesting. They probably couldn’t have been nearly this graphic on network TV.
this movie based on book, not X-Files
@@boboboy8189But this movie was written as an X-files episode
@@boboboy8189 Is it? I'm pretty sure the book is based on the movie, not the other way around.
They should have made both the episode and the movie.
I’d love to watch them back to back

I did!
"Candyman !" commentary at the mortuary caught me off guard and gave me 2 min straight laughter
You really picked up the momentum. Glad to see this channel is back
I hope you guys continue the franchise sometime this year 🤞🏾

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe. Also RIP Lance Reddick, the concierge from the John Wick movies passed away this morning at age 60.
We just heard, that’s so sad :(
The cop with the glasses was in a movie with Keanu Reeves called River's Edge

Great reaction, guys! You should really watch the sequels, specially FD 2
This movie, perhaps coincidentally, mirrors the Twilight Zone episode 'Room 22.' Check it out.
I love these movies fire 🔥

second actually boring though for me. people keep praising it but I rewatch it 3 times and still didn't get it why 2 is better than 1
@Bobo Boy for me I believe the deaths are more intricate and that premonition scene is just a spectacle
YES! Part 2 is by far the best one - greatest premonition, best acting, mature characters unlike super annoying teens, great ending, unique way to cheat the death etc
2 and 3 are so fun.
I don't like irritating characters in FD 3 but yes, the whole film was entertaining
Btw the car on the tracks was a chevy Nova not a camaro

I think you’d like Idle Hands with Devon Sawa. It came out the year before Final Destination
The ending was a reshoot. They originally had Claire pregnant and Alex dead.
Not sure, if you know there’s alternative ending that was supposed to be canon ending but changed it due to wanting to make franchise of final destination
Love ur videos
When ur time comes it comes, the moral is u can’t escape death,

Eyy glad you guys are back and watching my favorite slasher series. :D

Good times. I was listening to a lot of the Offspring at that time in history haha😂
@@graham974 who actually appear as the band at the dance in Idle Hands lol

Thanks for the heads up! We got a long way to go lol
honestly, only the 4th one is bad
Will love watching you react to all 5. Especially twist ending on nbr 5 that helps with understanding this one. It's great

@@KitsuManko their cgi ain’t the best in 5th but least it’s better than 4th
@@KitsuManko bruh 5 is one of the best in the franchise lol
Now you should watch Idle Hands
have seen these movies so many times never get bored. i still believe Tony Todd (Candyman/The Mortician) IS "Death" and he's playing with them.
That would have certainly been a strange twist for the film but I think it would have been a little too on the nose but I definitely had the same suspicion when I first watched the film, if only because of Tony's association with horror in the past.
What if death is psyhopath and gives them clues to toy with them before killing them
are you guys planing on reacting to final destinatio 2,3,4 and 5 please let me know
Check out the prequel called First Destination.
A fun series! I enjoy 1-3. 4 was OK and I haven't seen the fifth
Fifth was actually a great way to close the series. I'm not gonna spoil it, but you've definitely got to close it off with that. You'll be surprised. 😉
