Oh, yeah. 5 poster is best. I am not sure I saw the film. Is it the Nascar one or the bridge one?

To be honest after the first one they all sorta blur together for me other than the starting accident. Logs on the highway was a great one for that. Plus I think it made everyone who watched it think a bit more about following too close to a truck with a large load.

The Nascar one is 4 and it's rubbish. The only one not worth rewatching.

I rewatched the whole series not too long ago and for me it was a bit of a Star Trek alternating quality thing. Quite liked the first one, second one actually didn't do much for me despite the logs, third one was fine, four was garbage, five was fun again by virtue of getting really silly with it. Here's hoping the new one can break that rhythm. I always really enjoyed how these movies seem to take place in an alternate dimension where human bodies are made out of papier mache. People there could step on a rake and it'd decapitate them instantly.

Can someone with better hearing tell me if that music playing over the start of that is actually saying "it's raining men" over and over?

The freeway logging truck disaster is, and will forever be, the best Final Destination Rube Goldberg opening sequence because practically everybody has had that thought when driving behind a logging truck in their lives. If anything, the fear was amplified once that movie was out in the public aether.

I remember a story about a mom driving with her daughter and a pipe came off the back of a truck and went through her daughter’s torso. It was the early days of cell phones as I recall, so when she called 911 they weren’t able to figure out where exactly she was. Maybe she ended up surviving somehow, idk I think that was pre-final destination and has stuck with me ever since

MacheteZombie posted:2 has the guy get flattened by the panel of glass and it rules lol he like turns into tomato soup as soon as it touches him, it's great. There's also a sequence where a ball knocks over a pole that knocks over a lamp etc etc that ends with a canoe swinging down and almost killing someone. Then Ali Larter's character very seriously says "I should have seen that coming". What a fun series.

That makes a lot more sense as the only reason the like 17 year old gets flattened is that he sees some pigeons and chases after then like a real idiot. That scene is forever in my brain.

Similar to how Heavy Rain had the main character's son Jason aged up from five to ten, to downplay the harsh scene of a kid getting splatted on the tarmac like an elephant casually stepping on a can of cranberries. Thus you have a ten-year-old who inexplicably acts like a five-year-old who runs away in the mall.

That scene is forever in my brain. Most horror movie characters generally have the intelligence of a ten year old. It's particularly funny when they're meant to be some sort of specialist or world class expert, and are just absolutely about everything they're meant to actually be smart at. "yes I am that world class explosive expert you wanted to talk to about explosive to blow up some sort of monster or something... Oh crap run, i accidentally left all my sticks of dynamite next to all the candles that I'm for some reason using to light my high text explosive lab!!!"

Also, did anyone else have this Happy Meal toy? The way Warner's head pops off in place in The Omen always reminded me of the front flip these Goombas did.

Still curious what role Natasha Lyonne has in the movie. They've gone out of their way to not reveal anything about her character.
