They are all on Netflix so I’m having a binge.

The worst I think is in number 3. Where the two girls are cooked in a sun bed

Does anyone drive behind a log truck? Scarred a generation that scene did

I won't go through an automated car wash or drive behind log trucks! Grin

If you enjoy final destination films, you'd probably also love the film "Fall" on netflix. It's so good- but I had to pause it several times as heights terrify me and my palms were sweating- its about two girls who climb a really tall tower and then it all goes wrong

Yeah we’ve watched fall. If you liked fall, try 47 metres down

The log one for being tooo possible.

The subbed for being grisly

MysteriousInspector · 13/08/2024 16:12

I think oldest DC (now mid 30s) was into these.

I am a wimp and have never seen any of them. But I do have a good imagination - so reading this thread has freaked me out anyway.

You are all weirdos Wink

Yes Fall is good fun, annoying ending though.

The gym bars one for me. It crossed my mind (unwanted) again watching the Olympics just recently.

Also the swimming pool drain. And the flying barbed wire where the guy got sliced in three. The original film was a good plot though, and good in the last one where they tied it all back to the plane crash. I always felt most sorry for the little crying baby and the disabled young man on the plane.

I shouldn't like such films/scenes, but I confess I do. The Mothman Prophesies is quite a good one, as is Knowing, with Nicolas Cage.

Fall is great but a hard watch if you are at all challenged by heights!

Soubriquet · 13/08/2024 16:41

Ooo the 5th film. Forgot about this one. Poor bloke gets burned alive by tar before falling from the bridge. Ouch

Definitely the log one. I saw that one in 3d, was brilliant!
I'm going to binge watch these on Friday I think!!

fussychica · 13/08/2024 17:20

Sunbed and barbed wire.
Think I'll watch the last one as it sounds worth watching.

Plump82 · 13/08/2024 17:36

Just looked them up on Netflix and can't seem to find the 4th one?

XenoBitch · 13/08/2024 17:51

The gymnast one stuck with me as her body is just so distorted afterwards. And the build up to it makes me so tense to watch.
Also, the guy whose guts are sucked out in the swimming pool. The way his abdomen just collapses is gross.

No the 4th one isn’t there but the rest are.

saying that, I wonder how many people now refuse to drive behind logging trucks

We love to do American road trips and I can't tell you how many times we have travelled behind these logging trucks. The thought is always at the back of our minds......

Sethera · 13/08/2024 18:52

The ladder!

Sparklesandbeer · 13/08/2024 19:02

I wonder what will be the Final Destination of post millenials😁

It was great as teenager as survival manual. No driving behind log lorry, watch where you step in bathroom, never mow over rocks... So many life lessons🙈

GrandesRandonnees · 13/08/2024 19:08

But surely if the logs are stacked lengthways they’ll crush the cars to the side? I’ve only seen the first one but that was enough, I’m so pathetic these days that I can’t even watch scenes with ‘mild peril’ 😁

I saw that on fb but wasn’t sure if it was true.

Would be interesting to see

Its on IMDb - I hope it isnt a let down and they stay with original premise

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 13/08/2024 19:45

Definitely the log truck, for the amount of time it stuck. I can't even drive behind a scaffolding van and it was over 20 years ago!

I don't take flights one year to the next now, but still know I have to check the twisty tray bracket if I ever do.

LibertyPrime · 13/08/2024 19:49

The Train one

I'm watching the 5th one never seen it. The gymnast death was a good one!
