I just saw the trailer for Final Destination 2. Does this film look like it’s the exact same film as the first one?
But it’s not exactly the same. The Rube Goldberg deaths happen differently, you see.
And they happen to completely different people! Geez, Johnny.
I do think this could be a franchise with legs if it would reinvent itself, though. Instead of the Wacky Faces of Death thing, it should go more for comedy value. Death shouldn’t be a sadistic overly-complicated genius, Death should be more akin to Wile E. Coyote, Suuuper-Genius; attempting to get the annoying teens with ever-more-ludicrous Wacky Death Coincidences, which always seem to backfire and end up actually saving more lives.
And there’s a “2” at the end of the title. I don’t remember the first one having a “2”.
I saw the trailer for this along with the ones for “Dumb and Dumber 2” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” My exact words: “This has to be a joke. These can’t be real.”
Sadly, they are. What’s next, Armageddon 2?
Actually, the original was a pretty interesting movie before it was thoroughly emasculated by test audiences. If you’ve seen the DVD, the original ending was actually quite interesting- and didn’t set up the inevitable sequel.
Anamorphic, it isn’t actually totally different people- Devin Sawa and Tony Todd seem to be returning…
Original ending? Didn’t the movie end by the survivors going to Europe, only to find out Death is still after them?
That’s the ending of the theatrical release.
The original, far superior, ending was that the “final girl” found out she was pregnant and “beats death” by bringing a new life into the world.
Stupid test audiences dictated that the ending was changed to the standard idiotic horror movie ending that has been in use since Halloween.
